Because d4 is booring

Good - people in this range should always play 1.e4.

Play e4 then

What do you know about alpha go? I've been getting into go and I heard its really important to go for some reason

Danya makes everything seem so simple. My rating has rocketed since I started watching his videos.

Slightly more work on your end, but you can always click his name in the analysis and go to his account's page, and then find the particular game you want in his completed games.

@@mryellow4633 thanks

You mean d4, obviously

@@AnCoSt1 Yes thanks for noticing, in hopes Danya somehow sees this comment

Ugh why do people play London I would never understand it’s so repetitive and such boring games

@@nathangrabias8045 Mainline london is drier than a camel's arse yes, but I do agree with the sentiment of the comment, that being we need more 1.d4 content.

You beat me to it!

I especially love these setups with b3 and Bb2 involved (if black plays Slav or QG style). 2. dxc4 is already really good for white if black isn't careful (most of the time even at 2200+) and d5 is challenging, but both sides really need to know what they're doing

I thought maybe this idea was nice, but does it maybe not work?

Do you know coaches that comment their games while they crush untitled players online? I don’t know any, this isn’t “coaching” content this is a speedrun

@@claudiog7692 this is far from a simple speedrun, I don't know about any other chess youtubers who can so clearly explain everything, there's a lot to learn from his videos.

@@MyDarkMuffin but that’s not what a coach will do, a coach will analyze your personal games and work on things that you personally need, of course he can’t do this in youtube videos so that’s why normally no one pays for this, this is generalized content mainly for beginners and very different from what a coach will give you

@@claudiog7692 Who called him a coach though? Idk who you're arguing with.

White can capture the knight on g4 with their queen and defend the bishop and black would be down two pieces

@@conor6403 goddamit, I feel absolutely stupid now. As a 1500 rated player i shouldve seen this.

We all make mistakes, that doesn't make you stupid!

Would take soooo many moves, engines are incredibly resilient

@@ignis6144 Sometimes. Especially queen endgames! When I am not fully concentrated or a bit tired I constantly lose or draw, but when I am fresch and alert I normally win positions like an endgame two pawns or a rook up, for instance. I've tried starting with Stockfish's king in the center on my half of the board. The first time I tried I lost, but then I checked with the engine what I should have played and after that I had no problems winning against the machine. You can learn a lot by this method - something that Daniel mentions in his videos as well.

I hope he reads this too, and I'm amazed more people don't point this out. His commentaries for chess com are unbearable because of his broken microphone

@@simonlowrie5731 What I like about Danya is how little he comes off like a streamer, with the obnoxious gamer chairs and LED lights and all that bullshit. But you need to have bearable audio to be a streamer. He should drop a few hundred on a cheap interface and a SM7b that will last for a decade.

@@mskcouric couldn't agree more. He's a class act in a sea of clowns. Just have to hope that one fine day, he'll stop grinding up razorblades in his coffee blender ...

who cares

i care

Congratulations ...

@@themarchoftime me too

well done
