I know speedrun is coming to a close, but please keep uploading games, maybe versus subs, and then analyzing them. I literally watch all of these.

[@adilshekh8879]

The opponent: sneezes. Daniel: so this is completely crushing

[@sleepcycle8032]

Hey Daniel, great run in the U.S. Championship. I enjoy watching you play and hope you can find a good balance between training and the other 1000 things you do for chess. Thank you for being you Danya.

[@Sons_Brad_Dalton]

Daniel! Bro you’re my chess hero. I was moved by your interview with Maurice. I could tell you were tired and had given your all. A true warrior. Well done bro. Much growth is going to come from this. Remain on the path. We appreciate you!

[@ScooterYah]

Careful!! I've heard this Tommy guy is deadly with the Jerome

[@erzs.bathory]

"That's what you get for trolling" LMAO

[@banankulor]

One can imagine that this 1000 rated opponent, for a brief moment, let himself believe that maybe he caught Danya with a trapped rook... suddenly filled with confidence and adrenaline, only to be devoured moments later 😢

[@gen_jose3380]

I know right. I too imagined that. Never accept a gift from a grandmaster.

[@DivinePlant]

[@perteadsf4914]

@@gen_jose3380 But always be critical about your opponent's moves, otherwise you will never get an advantage

Strangely this 1000 rated player has a win against chessbrahs check his profile

[@OostyMcBoost]

I really enjoy your mid level content a lot and think it feels the most relatable! Love it all tho

[@r123554]

Watching you explain games is a treat and I hope you continue doing it on this channel. Maybe you can set up a series playing against subs; that way you can curate the rating level and even tell them to play a certain opening that you want to explain.

[@drewb6377]

Yes !!!!! Great idea !!!!

[@ajaybenjamin3087]

Your videos are so insightful in understanding and making the game easy.

[@fiodor11]

I'm amazed by his way of playing.Many of his positions I would consider horrible for me but he turns that position into the deadly attack👍

[@DragonSlayer334]

We love you Danya, please never stop making these (:

[@Chessgenie]

Hey Daniel, would you be able to show how you learn a new opening? Im a 2000 fide player otb but my opening knowledge is pretty basic because I play only like 2 or 3 openings for each colour and I wanna give myself a bigger range of openings that I could play decently. I really like those Speedruns because I get a basic knowledge of a lot of openings but thats ofcourse not enough to outplay someone out of the opening otb. There are a lot of video series for openings like on chessable but It feels that you just learn the moves but without understanding the move or the ideas of the opening. You are always doing a great job of explaining things so I would like to see some opening lessons from you!

[@benkelley6561]

Daniel, your videos are great but I notice your volume is at about half of other KZbin videos.

[@MeBeGilley]

Another banger video

[@nephandi2316]

7:50 Funnily, you'd see often White sacrificing the Rook on A1 in the Evan's Gambit, which is a line in the Italian that revolves much around the Queen-Bishop battery on B3 and C4, and trying not to let Black castle. Talk about patterns...

[@kajuanweaver1607]

I’m just really getting into Danya’s content, and I love these speedrun videos where he explains his thinking

[@Sons_Brad_Dalton]

He’s taken my game to a whole new level. Stick with him

[@Bobbystheboy]

The best chess series there is!!! MORE! What a time to be alive too. We get to experiences teaching like these. Thanks to technology!

[@xxhummerxx3]

This past series with the titles related to openings has been the best

[@tuddgrimley8532]

I'd love to see a game in a reversed setup, where Danya plays alone against an opponent backed up by a chat suggesting engine moves. ;)

TOMMYFOOKINSHELBY FROM CHESSBRAHS WHAAAAAT CRAZY XOVER

[@grgfrg7]

I was trying to figure out where I’d seen that name before thank you

[@themastamanhd4861]

I would love another speed run, but you pick a few solid openings (both white and black) and attempt to only use them. In this sense, breaking the speed run into 3 “tiers of elo” seems ok. For beginner to intermediate range as black, perhaps the danish, caro kann and e5. For intermediate to advanced, accelerated dragon, modern, etc…Same deal with white. It would allow us to apply and hone in on particular tactical ideas certain lines bring due to the fact we get to see a small sample size over and over. Congrats on your big win vs Caruana. Keep up the great content Danya!

[@chn683]

One can really tell your subscribers love you by looking at a few comments 😄

Hey Danya, what about having an analysis board on your second monitor and above/next ro your cam, to show certain lines while playing. Commentator style. Just an idea :)

I may be asking this question a bit prematurely as I'm only at the beginning of the video, but the sub that he's playing.......is he listening in on Twitch while the game is going?

I used to love seeing agad pop up on my notifications but Daniel many months ago has quickly replaced him as my top youtuber. Funny enough I just got an agad notification just now, and i still love his channel. But Danya is by far my favorite

[@conradnal8934]

4:30 Danya, wasn't Nb4 0-0 Nc2 Rb1 (moves that attack the bishop fail to Na1) Nb4 making a draw for him? I mean I guess Nb4 Bb3 Nd3 Kf1 with the idea a3-Bc2 might actually be dangerous for Black but still you have lost the castling right

[@conradnal8934]

Also, if your intention was to go Bb3 after Nb4 you could have played Nc3 before Ne2 as still Nb4 Bb3 Nd3 Kf1 will likely transpose

[@friedquiver4606]

I just checked with an engine. Similar to what happened in the game, if he plays Nc2 in that sequence, you play Ng3 and if he takes you get a massive attack.

[@conradnal8934]

@@friedquiver4606 I'd guess something like Nb4 0-0 Nc2 Ng3 Na1 Nf5 ef e6 with pretty clear compensation (Qh5, Nd5 might be ideas) but you have to give up at least an exchange

[@bjordsvennson2726]

You need to put out fresh content that isn't the speed run. The people here think all they want is the speed run, but they really want fresh content, they just dont know it. If you keep doing the speed run your views will stagnate until no one is interested anymore. If anything you can come back to the speed run after doing some other kind of content. That way the speed run is special and people are excited when it comes around.

[@AUG_Glow]

Funny

[@Isayonelove]

Would love an opening specific video covering all lines without the speed run stress or a gm tournament game review video giving a peek into the gm mind by looking at a recent tournament game. Or a bathtub stream.
