I’m about the same ELO as Danya rn, the amount of people who play strangely and terribly like this guy in the video, yet it works and isn’t immediately losing is incredible. This video is amazing for how a super (online/blitz) GM is even confused at this guys play and how he can’t immediately win, I’m so grateful we played a guy like this on the speed run.

“White is playing badly but for some reason it’s very hard to play against the way he’s playing…” literally how I feel every game when opponent goes for the most dubious openings and somehow it works

[@TheRovardotter]

As a 1900 player, I face these players a lot. I think they have a limited understanding of positional concepts but are very tactical aware, so that they can make it work anyway. It’s probably very likely that they would gain a lot of elo if they took some time and studied the game.

[@wonderfullife1247]

[@hwangsaessi2335]

This is why openings don't matter that much up to like 2000+. His opponent was 1950, and even my 1100 ass could tell he played very weirdly, but he would have destroyed me any day, and even Danya was confused for a bit about what the winning approach was (of course he found it quickly after, but we could not have). I should really focus on tactics & endgames, but I just can't seem to improve :(

[@HugoHenriqueGrah]

Yeah, a general understanding of the game is much more valuable than memorizing moves

[@KF1]

About improving, just keep watching. I got to 1800+ on lichess just from watching vids and playing. Would love to break 2000 at rapid or blitz! Have found at 1200-1600 lichess rating, another great channel to watch is Chess-Network, who likes to keep it simple and play positionally. I find Jerry's play a bit easier to understand than Danya's more aggressive/tactical style, which requires more depth of awareness.

[@joshberry4322]

King f8 in that position is the most GM move ever... You really think I'm not going to ceaselessly check him until I run out of time and lose

[@alexanderreusens7633]

Yes, but it seemed so obvious when he played it. "Of course you want to bring your other rook into the attack, and of course you saw that long castling would get your king in trouble, so kf8 is the logical conclusion". Of course lol

[@StormKillzone]

Guess I am a GM 😎

[@maxkho00]

I think Re8 was far more GM-like, actually. Kf8 is a very natural move, just bringing the last piece into the attack (with check!), and I'm sure would be one of the first considerations by any attack-minded player. Re8, on the other hand, doesn't seem to do a whole lot initially, as it's controlling a file that the king is running away from, anyway. Mind you, it's still relatively natural as it still develops the last inactive piece, but if we had to pick which one of Kf8 and Re8 was more GM-like, it would definitely have to be Re8.

[@steelistheunworthy6534]

It's rather interesting to see the endgame position, then watch Daniel slowly reach that position, figuring out how it got so dominant. This games lesson was, from what I can see, taking advantage of whites poor development and quickly getting pieces aimed at the king! Fun game, I like what you've done!

Thanks Daniel!!! I defeated the cpu today on my phone on the hard mode with my rook and queen. I'm a beginner but this is proof that your teaching has greatly advanced my playing style. I tend to block and pivot then go for undefended open spaces to create a sense of foundation and then my opponent thinks i will move that direction when I'm literally distracting him or her to unprotect their valuable pieces🤣 once i get rid of his protected pieces i go for the kill.

[@anmax]

Don’t play the cpu, it’s miserable

[@lillemy5062]

@@anmax Eh it can be decent if you just want to play with infinite time, I've generally found the 1800-2000 bots match the playing strength of 800-1000 rated players and since he is a beginner that's perfect. But playing against players helps you learn blunders in many openings, especially at 800 where people actually play 1.e5 2.f6 which is an immediate blunder. It's fun to just learn the mistakes people play and punish away :)

I wanted to play Bc6 before e6 because that opens the queen and after d4 cxd4 Qxd4 you can take with the queen and white has an IQP. with e6 d4 you might play Bc6 now but it gets unnecessarily complicated

[@PeterChessPupil]

why not after knight c6 bishop Xg2?

[@glennswindler24]

Why chess is so hard. This video - "with this move we basically force the opponent to castle." Every other video I've ever watched - "this move just encourages the opponent to castle, protecting his king, and developing the rook out of the corner. Why would we want to do that?"

[@felbas4224]

Danya wants to play solid chess, help us learn, and win. This guy was doing some WTF moves and Danya didn't want to simply destroy him; however, he wanted to play solid moves. If this wasn't recorded, Danya would've destroyed this guy and just moved on without thinking.

7:08 that was greek gift dude, it was check with knight he would not had time for g3. That's the greek gift. Dissapointed not able to predict just 3-4 moves.

[@rolettuce9654]

The classic Greek gift squanders quite a bit of black's advantage. After Bxh2 Kxh2 Ng4 Kg1 Qh4 black can just calmly defend with Bf4, engine eval goes to 0. What he played (Ng4) was a more testing line, and kept most of the advantage (-4 for Ng4 vs -2 for best line after Bxh2). The Greek gift isn't worth pursuing here (as he stated during the game).
