Wowwww, Been watching this series for months and had no idea I played you until I saw this video. Very informative. Thanks, Danya!

[@TrapGoose.]

well played sir

[@DerangedAussieMan]

You put up a very good fight against a super GM

[@ChessPlease]

Damn! That's so cool! Very well played!

[@autismunion]

It is interesting to know how you reacted when Danya switched to rocket speed in an endgame

[@MrRoupy]

Lol that's awesome!

[@shutton]

Danya going lightspeed starting at 19:44 is terrifying.

[@pewpewhuang4162]

[@KillerInstinct1]

@@pewpewhuang4162 imagine thinking that u had any chance of winning against a strong GM

[@richardcorney6938]

Watching his 80 game bullet match against Magnus was illuminating. He is crazy fast and incredibly accurate.

[@warrior_dark]

LOL absolute monster.

[@JohnWilliamShatner]

@@KillerInstinct1 The point is, from the opponents perspective he is just "OhMyLands", not a strong GM. This guy probably thought that he is a faster player, and then suddenly realized that his opponent had a second form.

[@MasterJack2]

His rhythm must make his opponent mind go crazy. 1minute to think the second move and some other simple move but he can aslo play 15 precises moves in less than 0,5 sec.

[@mikecantreed]

That’s a game where you know the opponent was scratching his head trying to decide if he just played an engine or a 3000

[@cafecubita]

Game went from 7 pieces on the board to 2 white queens checkmating in the span of about 3 seconds on Danya's clock.

[@amirbahrun3098]

Seeing all those 50 and even 100 gifted subs made me happy cuz Daniel totally deserves it for being a great teacher

[@lukeweston1234]

I love this channel so much. I’ve gained 350 elo since watching, held my own at a chess club I now frequent. It’s amazing what you’re doing thank you.

[@atwill1999]

[@herrjo7461]

@@atwill1999 It's a running gag from the channel GothamChess since in a video where he tries to guess the ELO of Players from their games he sung about Rook A4 which the KZbinr Young ELO made a disstrack against It's pretty fire you should listen to it

[@ahmedsandhu7]

That smothered mate & rook X-ray idea was absolutely stunning

[@d-jayyy5744]

This man is teaching and showing us his bullet speed, very instructional. Good job!!

[@thesilentmajority2765]

Danya is like a cam girl everytime he gets a sub. The more the subs the stronger the vibrations

[@mikejameson7678]

I have no clue what that's supposed to mean. And given the words "cam girl" and "vibrations", I don't think I want to know.

[@FrankTic-kx4hm]

Yeah I don't usually stay for the full analysis just the game, but I stayed until later this time, and he probably needs stream subs to keep his income steady but oof that hurts watch

[@AgentChiliFri]

@@FrankTic-kx4hm just in this vid alone, he was gifted over $1000 in subs. As much i want the chess analysis, we cant pretend like that isn't SUPER generous...my point is, it's not like he's gonna just brush that off. "Hey thanks🙂anyways..."

[@flavio5046]

He does that so they keep donating so he keep doing these videos for us and they keep donating. It's a fake orgasm for the greater good. Actually, it's not gift per say. He is helping us with these lessons, so he shouldn't have to fake orgasm.

[@wolfgangsell3233]

yo what is this comment section??? stfu and watch chess you weirdoes

[@uroskuzmanovic3317]

i was watching billion videos on chess and was trying to improve, but your videos are better than all other together. I am amazed how simply and instructive your explanations are. cheers man.

[@MrKongatthegates]

Every video is a fountain of top level coaching bordering on a firehose. When I was a kid, you woudnt have been able to buy access to such expertise for any amount of money. Watching this whole series over and over. What a world we live in

[@readingtimewithpickle]

You are by far my favorite chess player. Watching your speed runs and listening to your commentary has been so helpful. I was able to move up from ~1000 to ~1400 because of your help. I will keep practicing. Thank you!!!

[@marinmb44]

Hi Daniel. Your combination of excellent chess and interaction with the audience chess questions is the best I have seen. Please keep it up!

[@4piousmen]

Glad i just found this channel, I am around 1900 after 4 months from learning the rules but i can't afford a teacher. This channel is just what I need, with content all around the elo spectrum. Thank you so much dude!

1900 after 4 months? If that's the case your on your way to becoming a gm dude😂

[@johnknight6965]

Beautiful king chase and mate at the end-it's clear that this is all muscle memory to Danya!

[@williamweekhai3252]

30:22 Danya : "Let's fokus on the game." Also Danya : "Well. let's not focus on the game, let's focus on 50 subs that just gifted." Just kidding, you are amazing Danya. I learned about chess from you and I learned how to think logically and adapt in any chess position. I'm sure the other feels the same. Keep up your good work! Thank you Danya!

[@cdorresteijn]

Love how he 'wastes' minutes casually explaining. Effectively he probably only needed 30 seconds beating a 1800+ player

[@swift8821]

You would enjoy watching Aman from chessbrahs winning 15 seconds vs 3 minutes.

[@FredPlanatia]

esp. when he had 15 sec left and is casually explaining the most accurate way to play.

[@XAVargasX0206]

This dude thought he was gonna cheese you on the clock and you just obliterated him in 3 seconds at the end

[@lancetschirhart7676]

I can listen to you speak Russian for an eternity although I understand absolutely nothing 🤣

[@anandbenegal]

I used to (as a recent follower) always wonder what Danya would do if time was ever an issue because he keeps reminding us with a smile to not worry about it. That final sequence was stupendous to watch^

[@amirbahrun3098]

[@mefistowski5292]

oh man thank you thousands times for explaining this opening, I always end up without room to breathe against scandi and maybe finally I will be able to put up a fight

[@EOh-ew2qf]

omg so much anxiety when dayna kept explaining when he had 8 seconds left. and then he makes 15 moves and checkmate opponent after 3 seconds. Imagine how scared the other guy was at 19:47 ~

[@MrPatrikPass]

Great video. Very explanatory. Thank you.

[@alexwiththeglasses]

Again, at this level of play another dive into the reasons behind the opening moves! This helps me as a beginner to piece together the “why” behind opening moves, even if I’m not at a level to decide on playing specific openings atm. 🙏

Any chance you could please do a modern game or two? Or does it often just transpose into a King's Indian after Nf6? It would be really appreciated! Thank you so much for these videos btw, they are so interesting and informative.

Hey Danya you should go on GothamChess podcast I think it would be cool just to hear you talking about life and stuff with him

[@dermotshaw6775]

As a KZbin Danya viewer it always makes me chuckle that his twitch chat gets scared when he gets low on time. He's literally one of the best bullet players in the world and could make 15+ moves in 8 seconds 😂😂

[@frederickschulze8014]

Around 20:51 where he is reviewing the opening, I believe instead of playing bb5+, bd7, be2, then nxd5 the position that arises is the same position as if white played 3. d4, nxe5, then be2, except for one difference - blacks bishop is unmoved which I'm guessing could only benefit white. If you're at a low enough rating that your opponent always takes on d5 when you play d4, then it seems beneficial. I had to revise this comment though because upon further analysis, black has the move c6 to meet d4.

[@davidwhite2949]

I can understand why Alireza was angry. On the other hand, it’s not clear how serious Naroditsky was about this

[@melrakan]

I wonder if Black couldnt just play a kind of fort knox after Bb5 Bd7 Be2. So ...Bc6 h6 Nf6 wasting a tempo obviously, but the idea is just to take on f3 and play c6, with basically a really even position
