[@kiranbabu3426]

Idk but Danya's speedrun series feels like home.

[@antandteoa7682]

I feel that

[@j.josephheld]

Truly :,)

[@crownstupid]

First youtube series I've ever actually checked my feed for every day.

[@audreyjensen666]

yeah

[@edymonstar]

Me: "aha now obviously we go bishop C4, I'm getting so good at chess!" Danya: "Now bishop C4 would be a very typical mistake"... ;(

[@drewparker4931]

Hey at least you made a typical mistake like everyone else

[@serratedhumor8468]

I’ve learned more from these series then I thought existed... this is gold, this is worth selling.

[@connorjohanning9604]

I mean it’s chess lessons, people pay a lot of money for chess lessons.

"It's like a big conga line, and that's the best kind of center to have." Genius

[@justajew298]

I have waited all night for this. Im about to go to sleep and of course right on time daniel is there to put out a new video

[@connorjohanning9604]

I play a good amount of chess but at this level trying to understand everything Danya is teaching is a lot to go through especially when I’m tired

[@stephenbyers4648]

Sameeee

[@kingsolomon50]

11:55 12:14 Danya coming in with the "Oh no my queen" strats. Eric Rosen would be so happy

[@someoneelse293]

I hope he goes back to 700 and does the whole thing over once he reaches 3000 .. if he doesn't I'm gonna watch all these again when the series ends....

[@ClassicMist360]

Hes doing a rapid speed run at the same time hes doing this blitz speed run so maybe that will be coming out after this one ends. Danya is at 2400ish I think in the blitz speedrun currently. These KZbin videos are quite a few days behind

[@someoneelse293]

@@ClassicMist360 nice...

[@RabiehAhmed]

Look, it's probably said a million times but: You're doing fantastic work Daniel. Your funamental understanding of chess is beautifully expressed through your communication ability. You are the best KZbin/Streamer for chess education at all levels. (Levy a close second from what I've seen)

[@waveexistence5742]

I'll add to the pile and once again chime in that this is the best chess instruction on youtube, hands down. Thanks again!

[@ivanshestakov6655]

Даня, спасибо тебе за твои спидраны, благодаря им уже смог поднять +200 рейтинга, хотя до этого полгода никак не мог сдвинуться с места. Твой анализ очень сильно помогает улучшить игру! Ты прирожденный учитель.

[@BM-hj6lq]

Is it just me who feels sad when Dania says “ok next game” and the video ends!

[@glenndiddy]

I like how he always says, these guys are good, they resist well. Basically saying, they had no chance of winning at all, but they struggle quite well

[@cripst6876]

Hey man, these have been the most instructive videos i've watched on yt, thanks a lot

[@animantus4293]

Just writing to appreciate Danya's great work even before watching.

[@lyntonmysun]

‘What is a notebook?’

[@dirtymike3329]

Why did he actually answer that lmao 😂

[@kparvez16]

Thanks all for the subs and Supporting Danya. He deserve much more.

[@monat_son]

"Sorry for the chewing" No problem Dan! The brain must be fueled!

[@betterideas]

9:13 could someone explain why not bishop B7 forking the pawn and the queen? If his queen takes isn’t queen F8 checkmate?

[@sake171]

i think he missed it

[@Kirisame312]

Possible he missed it, but I think it's more likely that it's because it reduces the instructive value. If he had played that I would not have learned nearly as much as opposite colored Bishop endgames.

[@milanthadarmakirthi1785]

Black queen can stay in the 8th rank....I think that plan is slow because there are 2 central pass pawns and can push them.

[@ekjfinn]

Cool to see you here

[@ekjfinn]

@@wuzz white can trade queens in that situation as well

[@pharmokan]

Very advanced theories in this video. How to establish blockade to force a draw even though down material was my favorite. Best series ever.

[@roadrunner4800]

This series needs more love, best chess lessons on youtube

[@pharmokan]

dang it danya, you must be killing it with the average minutes watched per video category of your youtube analytics!

[@utkashdubey8458]

I broke 1400 on lichess thanks to your videos! I was stuck at 1280 for a while

[@artemnazarenko3529]

One can forever watch on water, on fire and how Danya crashes people in the speedrun series.

[@NotoriousKhamid]

So much appreciated are all of your uploads! 🙏

[@AnnoShark]

This stuff is pure gold

[@Sbigsla]

Only 25mins? How could you do this to us Daniel! 😥 Hopefully a video with Charlie is gonna be out soon to make up for it 😂

[@Mejayy]

fun fact : if he gains 20/30 ello per episode, that means the series is halfway through!

[@alexf0101]

it was interesting to see an endgame for a change! even danya had to think a bit

[@zokisvasta]

I always feel terrible when I develop the white bishop to d3, just to have to drop it back to e2 on the next move. It's reassuring to see Daniel not having a problem with this lol.

[@williamross5308]

Anyone else confused at how he took at 6:59?

[@Justchillin145]

Holy fuck I love chess

[@DasUberCow]

Love the series, getting really into it. The soundscape is a bit hellish though, there's a constant creaking sound, and any way to remove the sub ringing sound from the KZbin upload?

[@olivercroft5263]

Daniel's brain is so smart, thanks for doing all the heavy lifting 👍😁

[@timdavis7398]

I love chess but I play it with zero pattern recognition recall.... like Lucy from 50 first dates.

11:42 What is the key to recognizing the exchange idea?

[@tywonellington]

A knight on its own can’t beat you? My opponents’ knights disagree.

[@aliciap6329]

12:41 After Bc4 Nxe4, is there a inbetween move Bxf7 with check? It's in my Notebook.

[@quinlandaly]

Can someone explain to me how he took that pawn 7:02

[@itsyaboi1245]

Google en passant

[@BennyMex90]

I also don’t get it....

[@VSHEGDE1947]

En passant - when your opponent pushes a pawn two squares up and ends up being next to your pawn, you can take their pawn like that

[@RG001100]

The name of the rule is "en passant". Something like: On the move immediately following a pawn moving forward 2 squares, it can be taken by another pawn as if it had only moved 1 square.

[@connorjoyce7487]

If you push a pawn two squares so that it is next to a pawn of the opposite color the opposite color pawn can capture the pawn as of it had only moved one square.

[@milanthadarmakirthi1785]

Can't wait until Dany start winning 2600s

[@wisebluehillwarrior6411]

The most powerful gambit when accepted would have to ne the Blackburne Shilling Gambit. Problem is, any player that knows about it will never play into it.

[@TheJibbaholic]

Lets play the Sitzillian!

[@gana7206]

Somebody give who ever makes this mans intro a raise 🤣👌

[@leadnitrate2194]

Wrong channel

[@michaelslinger6903]

Question - how can that pawn take at 6:55?

[@mewsermeow8683]

It can take by en passant. En passant occurs when a pawn moves two spaces (which only occurs if the pawn hasn't moved yet), if an opposing pawn is in position to capture it as if it had only moved one square, then the opposing pawn can take by en passant.

[@justajew298]

En passant. Basically if u can picture this. If u have e4 and then sum random move and then e5 then d5 is played. The e5 pawn can still take.

[@jacquesferreira9771]

@@mewsermeow8683 Thanks man, never knew that 1

[@michaelgreen7002]

Does the advice about what colored squares your opponents pawns are on with regard to the color of your bishop change in the middle versus the end game?

[@MidnightBloomDev]

I hope he gets stream sniped by some super GM so he goes back to 1000 and we get another speed run.

[@spencer2041]

En Passant? Holy Hell.

[@mehmetemin903]

8:53 Russian schoolboy

[@matthijsruigrok7110]

anybody see at 7:50 how he could put his pawn at E4, black takes the pawn with the bishop and white takes the bishop with the queen and checkmate.

[@winterwolf3435]

That's a good plan, the main problem is that you're banking on your opponent hanging mate, which at 1900 isn't that common especially with 1 minute on the clock. But if they fall for it, it's a good tactic

[@matthijsruigrok7110]

@@winterwolf3435 yeah that’s true.

[@Muzprom]

It's the Russian accent :)

[@coltonstallard1450]

Also 19:48 why didn’t you fork the pawn and queen with the bishop is that too aggressive?

[@KalebengOfficial]

It isn't a fork since the queen have a check

[@coltonstallard1450]

At 15:15 for the analysis before checking the king with the queen, couldn’t you move Be3 to g5 to pin the pawn to blacks queen or is that a bad move?

[@jakethesnake17]

I’m guessing black can move their knight to c6 so the check doesn’t come with a fork.

[@coltonstallard1450]

@@jakethesnake17 I feel like that doesn't benefit black though... they still lose a queen if they block the check with the pawn. Do you see what I'm saying? Does Bishop g5 get punished and I'm just not seeing it?

[@winterwolf3435]

I guess the main problem is that you give the opponent 1 extra move (tempo), and while I'm not nearly good enough to figure out what to do with that tempo, a 1900 player should

[@jakethesnake17]

@@coltonstallard1450 they can sidestep with the king since the knight isn’t forked anymore

15:27 is not true it is possible to defend pieces by moving 1 to defend the other after a knight fork.

even a knight fork against the king the king can move and defend the piece
