I'm always so weirdly proud of the opponents when Danya's complimenting their play

[@Overlordsen]

Might be because for you (and most of us) its more easy to identify with them. And whenever a normal mortal dude has good opportunitys against masters, that gives hope that also you and me could have great opportunities on the board.

Daniel you are doing such an amazing job and I love your teaching style - simple and precise. Thank you for your service to the chess community...

[@FruitOfTheSpirit]

This series is honestly superb for a beginner-intermediate level player like me. Daniel has a gift for teaching and giving clear, valuable explanations. If I can offer one small piece of constructive feedback: The detours to other GM games as a way to illustrate key concepts are generally great. But when, halfway through the overall analysis, multiple of these other games are reviewed in a row-particularly when it’s to showcase a concept only present in, e.g., a sideline of the main game-this can make the overall lesson feel haphazard and slightly difficult to follow. My humble suggestion would be to finish analyzing the entirety of the main game first, and then only afterwards go back and explore concepts using references to other GM games. Thanks for everything Daniel-you rock.

[@ryans9094]

Gotta love it when the speedrun covers one of your openings

[@kkkk-ks7ke]

Shows how good this opponent played when Danya had a turbowinning endgame and 1:20 on the clock and he wasn't explaining moves anymore. In previous games he has had 15 seconds on the clock with very complex positions and didn't care about the clock at all.

[@justinappleton5404]

He mentions his series on the art of flagging and pre-moving, so since he’s one of the best bullet players he should totally do a video on mouse skills, pre-moving and time scrabbles. Would love to see his thought process when playing low on time especially since it’s a pretty glaring hole in my game.

[@SahnigReingeloetet]

Danny and GM‘s in general have insane amounts of experience by simply playing the game so much and playing it for such a long time, so I guess it‘s a lot of pattern recognition. If you‘ve mated someone with a King and a Queen 50 000 times you just play accurately without thinking about it

[@thijmen6333]

Thanks Daniel and editor for putting out this much awesome content. I am enjoying the speedrun a lot :)

Keep up the great content mah duude.

[@antediluvial]

This was rly helpful The exchange caro was the major part of that defense that I felt unsure about. I would just develop pieces and after 5 moves have a balanced or slightly losing middle game. This video really helped me understand the tactics and themes that I should think about (esp the value of the dark bishop)

[@ikilem]

Danya, have you ever thought about doing some recaps or analysis videos on the world cup games? You have such a great talent in making this stuff easy to understand beginners and i think you’d do a great job. Just a thought.

[@zlatkofelic8820]

Is there a video you did on Ruy Lopez in the speedrun? If not, I would like to see one 🙂

[@wandregisel6385]

That Fischer game is really nice, but it's likely he too was inspired by a previous game: Lasker-Capablanca from the storied 1914 St Petersburg tournament, where, also in an exchange Ruy Lopez, Lasker played f5 and slowly suffocated Capablanca's pieces. In the Lasker game, the queens had been already traded, but the position was actually more convoluted than in the Fischer game, so the latter feels more instructive
