‘And so the idea is that the pieces are like snipers’

@@lyntonmysun repetition legitimizes.

@@Reflexzzzz neely naroditsky crossover hell yeah

... what about him when he hasn’t done that ?

Opponent: “Man, this guy is good. He’s shutting down every plan I can come up with. Might as well make some random moves to throw him off a bit” Daniel: “He thinks he’s intimidating us, but this move is a horrendous blunder. His pieces are so passive that we have forced mate in 28. I will not make a move until I see someone in chat find the line”

@@koifish528 this is so accurate it’s hilarious.

​@@koifish528AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

but did you know that the hypermoderists were a group of players in the 1920s who were laughed at because they didnt control the center, and instead attacked it from a distance??

@@lizardi1037 Sure, but did you know that the hypermodernists were a group of players in the 1920s who were laughed at because they didn't control the center, and instead attacked it from a distance?

@@sashimi879 Sure, but did you know that the hypermodernists were a group of players in the 1920s who were laughed at because they didn't control the center, and instead attacked it from a distance?

@@stfustfu7765 I mean I suppose, but did you know the hyper modernists were a group of players in the 1920’s who were laughed at because they didn’t control the center, but instead decided to attack the center from a distance?

underrated comment

A group of people came together, they said why not let the opponent take the center and then snipe it from a distance.. lol

Facts

Hikaru is incredible to watch of course, but I find some of his eccentricities distracting and off putting to watch for extended periods (for me, I’m referring to repeating sentences constantly and his very ‘thick’ accent - I’m not from the US so maybe it stands out more). Danya clearly enjoys teaching and understands principles of teaching in his speech and methods. All love and its amazing that we live in a time to get free lessons and insight from some of the best players ever for free and daily.

@@twosnakse Hikaru doesnt have an accent what do you mean?

I watch Danya for chess and Hikaru for memes!

@@tayk-47usa41 I’m from outside of the US and I notice the slightly thicker accent too. It’s nothing much though

He has to teach more chess to Charlie!

Let’s plays always fizzle out over time because not everyone wants to spend half an hour every day. This isn’t unusual.

Nah, it's good that the thumbnail theme stays for the whole series.

Yeah the thumbnail game is weak. He needs hikarus editors

The fact that it's instantly recognisable is good imo, but yeah could use some spice

fifty thirth.

I cried with you..

I was in denial for hours Checked back every hour... for 4 hours.

My heart was broken

He said on stream that he doesn't like the catalan much, also these are wayyy staggered the speedrun is already complete xD

@@karthiktadepalli7560 Did he, that's sad...I probably will have to then wait for Srinath's course on it

Luciferian? How cool!

Yeah. Just like fisher said dont underestimate an open h file a sacrifice a lot to open the h file and usually turns into a great attacking tactic

and its only a pawn. 1 point isnt enough to lose a game

@@midorimashintaro2613 Thanks. This is definitely an area where I need to improve my chess. I would've seen the open h-file was valuable, but instead of just tossing away the pawn, I would've been looking for a way to trade a bishop for the knight so I could get my pawn back after he took bishop, maintaining material balance. I'm sure it would've been too slow.

you are not alone..

I know, that move is quite hard to spot and he makes it to look so easy and obvious.

Pushing the h pawn is a sacrifice made to open up the h file, freeing the rook. It's used for an attack later.

@@winterwolf3435 Thanks for the reply! Makes sense now

He is winning so easily but they certainly don't look like 800s because of it.

I thought my AirPods were broken at the start lol

Then just fossilizing the juicer like Hikaru. lol

Chessbase is a tool for professional chess players. It has a large database of annotated chess games. That's how Danya can search for particular ideas and tactics in older games.

Different people have different ways of playing, I guess it depends on your playing style, not that it's not good, but some people may be willing to trade their bishop and some may not, not all situations are the same

Don't worry about this, you will become better if you play chess regularly, do free chess puzzles on lichess and watch chess videos on youtube. I improved only by doing this and I got from 1600 to 2000 in 1 year.

mannn chill out he was at a tournament. Couldn't record from home. Be more gratefullll mannnnnn.

He sacrificed the pawn to open the H file and let the queen and rooks have access to the H7 pawn and the black king
