The phrase "let me remember the theory" makes me scared

[@alihasanaxe4936]

Tbh there aren't many phrases more bone-chilling than if you could hear your opponent say that...

[@genekisayan6564]

Why does it scare you ?

[@lautaromartinez2848]

@@genekisayan6564 because you are playing against someone who knows what to do, so to beginners it's a bit scary

I love Daniels videos and I watch every single video. But I’m an ~800 rated player and I don’t know how to get better. I’m definitely a beginner and I see a lot of the moves DN is looking for before he calls them but I can’t seem to ever play them when I’m in a game

What a speedrun

[@huek189]

What I love about your KZbin videos is that even though they're clipped from Twitch, you don't force us to have to look at the chat by adding it to your vids and you don't get distracted by the chat and start going off on a tangent in response to some random thing said. Even your interactions with twitch chat are cherry picked to address questions the KZbin audience might have. So many chess "content creators" that upload twitch clips don't realize how much of a turn off any of the above is for folks like us who aren't into live streams or into people who refer to "chat" as an actual entity for that matter. Thanks Daniel, keep up the good work

Hey Daniel, I’ve been watching your videos for a few weeks now and they have been some of the only games by GM’s that actually makes sense to me. You’re able to portray a lot of great tactics in very simple ways for normal folks like me. Just wanted to say I appreciate your videos and your Chess. Thanks!

Although this series is now way above my pay grade chess-wise GM Danya’s clear explanations and commentary still make it worthwhile 🙏

[@SEAKPhotog]

Another huge "thank you!" for your content!

[@kmktruthserum9328]

I like how you're starting to use the different colors that they offer for highlighting. I do believe that they use red and green to highlight move squares, and then the blue is to highlight the pieces. however you can obviously use the colors however you want.

[@robingilmore3924]

I mean, it makes sense that a pinned piece still defends other pieces from the opponent's king. if you could actually play to capture the king, as soon as your opponent's king captures your piece, the defender would capture the king. it doesn't matter if your king could be captured the move after; you got your opponent's king first

This is great! I encounter b6 a lot after 1. e4, so it will be cool to watch how our favorite GM Danya responds. I typically just grab the center with d4, develop knights, but there's probably a better way to punish black. Looking forward to tonights games!

[@danjeory3659]

there's absolutely wrong with b6, as this opponent shows very well... Just have to be correct. Don't expect to be able to punish it.

[@saintsaens21]

Damn girl

[@autismunion]

What a blunder!

[@skyshoesmith6098]

It's not an extra rule that a pinned piece still defends another friendly piece (from the enemy king.) There's just one relevant rule here: you're not allowed to hang your king in one move. The rook is pinned because moving it away would hang the white king; the queen can't be taken in that checkmate because it would hang the black king.

[@arpitrohilla285]

[@Jimbuluk]

I'm a bit scared, after just a dozen of these lessons I reached 90% accuracy on 1 of approx. 10 online games. I keep my rating stable in the neighborhood of 1100-1200, sort of sacrificed it to get more risk and fun in a game, and kind of developed chess online addiction. It takes a lot of time that could probably be better spent doing other activities.

Owen defense is the black version of nimzo lassen attack, for which he advocated in a previous episode

[@mareksicinski3726]

Not quite Also he played Larsen’s opening, Nimzowitsch played the 1. Nf3 version which is quite different

[@GingerNinja232]

When he took your rook you should have taken his king XD

Would you consider playing the pirc defense as black at some point?

He doesn’t really reccommend it

[@zizhdizzabagus456]

I wonder what happens in championship if gm makes illegal move and no one notice it and game goes on?

[@yesyoutooo8842]

There is almost no way neither of them notices. GMs can play an entire match without looking at the board. But if you make an illegal move you lose on the spot. Eric Rosen has a pretty funny story about sacrificing his queen, thinking he will win material with a forking the king and the queen after his opponent takes, ony to realize one moment later that is knight is pinned. :D

[@johnp845]

at the 1:39 mark, why not go a3 (before going Bd3) ? this would inhibit black from going Bb4, thus relieving the pressure on the knight, and keeping the pawn on e4 defended

[@michaelf8221]

Developing asap is always more important than preventing a possible threat (that as Danya shows at the end isn't really that bad for white)

[@antimatter2417]

YES finally my drug has arrived

[@adomaskuzinas2137]

Always a little dissapointing to be a player of the Owen's like myself and come here to see a relativley solid game from both sides where we get to some theoretical position and then see someone butcher their opening like that, but its at least instructive on how to attack this kind of loosey goosey stuff from black with the system!
