Thank you Danya for the game! I enjoyed it even though I got crushed. Sorry this was my practice bullet account, I was looking for 10 sec games while watching your stream and I just thought I might get to play you If I started a 15 10 game, and I did. My real rapid rating is 2040, sorry for the play looking a little bit suspicious for 1790.🤔

“King to f2 is now a big threat” is a wild sentence lmao

33:08 "Yeah there is knight e6 here actually. Knight e6 might be very annoying. Yeah knight e6 is probably a good move." -- really tried to sell that: ice cold.

33:10 Danya checks if his opponent was stream sniping. Ne6 blunders the rook lol

I love how harsh danya is with his chat when they claim someone is cheating. What an amazing game.

I discovered this channel a couple of days ago and became addicted. Watching a strong GM explaining is something veeeery different from other guys.

Don't know if you'll see this but thank you sensei, these videos have been helping a lot in improving my chess. Keep it up

That opponent made this one of your best episodes!

All love and respect to you danya for doing this charity work for all chess fans. The insights and knowledge you share are mostly sold by GMs per lecture. Thank you man! You Rock🤘

Danya, as a d4 player I really, really enjoyed this. I've never really considered the jobava until now. I play queens gambit almost exclusively. Please, I would love some more d4 games. QG, Catalan, London, Torre, whatever. All the e4 content is great, but given where I am and how long I've been playing d4 I'm not exactly about to start playing kings pawn structures. Learning d4 is hard enough without starting again.

Danya I feel like it’s been overstated but oh my god you are the best chess KZfaqr and instructor out there. I cannot stress enough how educational patient and overall valuable you are, thank you so much

This was brilliantly explained and very illustrative. Thank you so much. I look forward to more.

You do great stuff! love every second of it :)

This video is incredible! Extremely valuable insight, thank you!

Fantastic ongoing explanation and break down. Thank you

Sensei Naroditsky.. man you really are one of the best... out in south africa I've learned alot from you and even won a chess tournament all thanks to some of your teachings

while i’m still not very good, i’ve mostly gone from playing with 50-60% accuracy to 75-80%, an achievement due largely to your videos. you make learning very engaging and interesting and for that i am grateful.

Really great video. I know now that I have been playing this opening incorrectly. Thank you!

Hurry up with this course! The jobava has become my bread and butter because of you and I’m pushing 2100!

This was unexpected and awesome. Would love to see more Jobava London stuff from Danya. I took the Hans Neimann Jobava course and getting Danya’s spin on it would be super valuable

Amazing. So insightful. Thank you!

I can't even fully comprehend your awareness and skill. This was so informative. Just bought the course. Thank you for making it useful for non-master level players

I really love the opening and hope to see more of it in the speedrun.

I love these videos! Jack played a great game! Jack should be proud! Daniel you are the best!

Great explanations!

Great game, opponent played and defended very well till the end, thanks Danya!

Fresh openings!!! Always feels great!

this game was extremely instructive and was very exciting to watch

What I really love about Danya videos is that he being super gm with a lot of achievements and practices still keep in every game extremely dramatic narration like he's on the verge of losing control which he obviously doesn't

Amazing game! Thank you

Thanks Daniel

I learnd to look for a right time to brakethrough from this game ❤️

This one was really enjoyable. Memorising the move order is the most complicated thing about this. How to respond If black responds differently. Nonetheless your opponent played incredibly well in this game, better than I ever could. I understood most ideas and most responses but I would probably still forget some of the key elements

You explain very good, Tx.

Some excellent defense from the opponent! This game was very pretty.

29:28 when we see danya is trying to pressure opponent's time we know he's been defending very well there

I love the nuances!

What a game. Kudos to the opponent, they're one of those people that get some kind of a wake-up call and play like a gm after they blunder, I would definitely have lost the game as white considering how resilient black played afterwards. Please like the vid guys! :))

The craziest thing about this opening and game is the advantage of the central doubled isolated pawns. They restricted the movement of the black's knights in the middle game and later prevented the infiltration of the doubled rooks on the E file.

I’ve been scoring around 60% with the Jobava. It’s incredibly fun, and I can’t recommend it enough. I’ve been a Be2 player so understanding that Bd3 idea is something I need to try

I started transitioning in the jobava sometimes after the van geet and it's so good especially against someone not used to play D5

yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes! Please do a few more Jobavas if you have the time to squeeze them in!

Favorite game this run. Suuuuper interesting.

Thank you

Your words are pure wisdom. ❤️

thanks love

great game!

Danke!

I am proud that I saw Qd1-Qg4 maneuver before he mentioned/played it.

Wow the d3 pawn was such a beast throughout the game completely blocking the e4 and c4 squares AND indirectly locking queenside AND helping control the e file

That was a great game

Masterclass 💪

Great game

I’ve been playing the Vienna from 1000-1600 but the jobava looks really fun. I think I’m actually gonna pick it up as a secondary opening

Hi Danya! How are you? I love your videos and keep the good work up! Could you please do a video on your favourite openings as white, and favourite openings/defences as black.

thanks

Me gustaría ver más partidas con 1. e4. Hemos tenido muy pocas partidas de la escocesa de los 4 caballos en este speedrun. A pesar de eso, siempre se aprende mucho visitando otras de aperturas para ver otro tipo de planes.

Oh hell yeah baby

The best chess channel in the world. Period

The prophet returns when we need him most

20:24 I hope Hikaru has seen this position. This is the most wooden of all the shields

I really like the Jobava, it is my main opening. My only issue is, when the games turn really tactical and long I often lose on time. I guess I should practice playing small improving moves quickly rather than spending too much time always looking for the big winning tactic. On my level 3 … Nf6 is the most played variation, and that leads to all kinds of fun. I look forward to your course.

~ 22:30 when saying boa constrictor method you should’ve said “the thing about the boa constrictor method is eventually you gotta eat the mouse” (or whatever animal the boa would be eating)

Daniel's opponents have been insane recently... The last one I saw, while he was rated 1700ish rapid, was 2500 blitz lol. I think some people kind sandbag to play him. I'm around 1800 rapid and I doubt I'd play this good against him.

34:59 is a beautiful position I love it

Excellent and very informative to see you hunt down a 2000! Also I like how, despite the title of the video, you finish with a tactic on the queenside ;)

great play by your opponent

You are so far over my head, it's taken a while, but I'm finally learning from you.

What is your overall feeling about the f3 response to Bf5? What is it about the position that you prefer getting the knight out to e5? I feel like the f3 lines force some immediate attacking options kingside

AND HE SACRIFICES THE ROOOOOOK

I have an idea for a series, that you get to a set elo by only using good principles and not calculating, and showing how far you can get by just the basics

Daniel, I'm wondering if you've ever done a video where you compare/contrast the regular London with the Jobava London? I've been involved in a discussion on this topic with someone who claims the Jobava system should not be called a "London" at all because the differences are so marked.

Nice sir❤

Im here for the GOT references LOL lets gooo

Thanks Danya! Now the Chessbrah community doesn't like me because I pulled a fast one with an early Nb5 Nc2+ and won a queen and the game with 95% accuracy. I'm a 450 in blitz but apparently my Jobava was too hot to handle😂

I've been looking forward to some London :)

Well played by the opponent today. Very determined.

All hail the sensei

33:08 "Pausing and trying to figure out how that does not blunder everything before realizing this is recording from stream..." Also, how is the opponent only 1800, approximately same rating as I am and I would never played that well. Props to him!

Have to admit that ive played a long time and watched thousands of games, and it does only seem to be in these 15 minute games that 1700 players seem to find resources later in the game. They often do average openings that fall fairly quickly then after losingva pawn they can find 5-6 really good moves. i do suspect that players go in without intention to cheat and then faced with GM level play they often end up consulting stockfish just try and get the game back. Maybe not, but under shorter time controls these kinds of players just seem to melt.

Is this better than the London system? Or should I learn the London system or are they both completely different openings with different play styles

Queen side pawns just standing around for half the game, forgotten by the officers.

Jack played an amazing game

Danya what exactly are you talking about at 41:16? Are you currently working on a course about the Jobava London? To be honest this would sound very interesting to me :)

13:52 Is it a good idea to play Ra2 following it with g4 and Rg2 after?

tyvm - often my opponent blunders a pawn in the opening and I flounder instead of convert - useful game IMHO

Since he didn't elaborate on it at the beginning: What course is Danya working on?

Kudos to jack, easily a 2200 player. Well done mr jack!

I think you're opponent was seeing an engine

you can be the next oxhorn of starfield if you keep this up

33:00 how is Ne6 a good move? or was this bait

Danya, did you see (or hear about) the recent Eric Rosen video where he mentioned one of his friends was playing on a smurf account and ended up on the speed run? I can't recall which video it was, but he had a stronger position out of the opening

we've reached a far point from my own ELO but I still find it interesting.

Nimzovich was frequently a boa constrictor.

Bro, our school will have an upcoming tournament in the next 2 months so could i ask a suggestion for a good opening repertoire? I really want to win this tournament, if you read this comment I love you and your videos man😇

Danya why did you not reroute the knight for the first 20 odd moves

What course did he mean? A Jobava London course by Danya? On chessable?

When is the course coming out

33:05 why is it a good move? Doesn't it blunder the rook?

Did he say he is working on a Jobava London course?
