Danya: Imma clickbait the s*** outta that. Also Danya: *writes exactly what happened and puts three exclamation marks Gotta love that dude

That tactic landed like a thunderbolt outta nowhere. Poor guy. Danya is a monster.

"There must be a win here, let's calm down and find it." *finds it instantly*

Damn two bishops defending c1 and f1 from backrank mate is the best "random" defense I saw in my whole chess life

Besides sacrificing The Rook I feel like this is the ultimate demonstration of why the bishop pair is so dominant in an open end game. Despite the king being very vulnerable in the corner the Bishops were able to cover back rank multiple times while still fulfilling other jobs.

A 2000+ rated player: Find a strong move that Danya missed Chat: CHEATER !!!

Other chess streamers: OMG look at this crazy line!!!!11!! Me: *sleeps* Danya: I have a crazy line that just might work, or maybe not. Me: HOLY HELL LET'S GOOOOOOO No really, only Danya's hype about something is believable to me.

This is undoutedly the bishop pair of all time.

Stockfish 14's evaluation of the position after ...Qg6: Depth 25: -0.4 (cloud) Depth 26: +6.8 Conclusion: Danya is at least depth 26.

Danya about brilliant sac: "I'm going to clickbait the heck out of this!" Meanwhile Gotham: "MAGNUS! MAGNUS? MAGNUS!!"

Phenomenal Game, Nothing beats these 2000+ SpeedRun games

Beautiful finish to that game. Those bishops were doing an unbelievable amount of work!

I was laughing maniacally with that combo

"1 bad move spoils 40 good ones". Damn opponent was so solid for the whole game, even leading, but that single Qg6 move allowed total annihilation. I learn from Danya more than I do from books. What an awesome teacher he is!

That last tactic was BEAUTIFUL GREAT FIND with such little time!

The most incredible combo in the history of this channel. The truly amazing aspect is the coincidence of the two bishops guarding the f1/c1 back rank! A beauty!

Amazing game and analysis! Your speed run videos have been instrumental to my improvement. Thanks!

I haven't been this fucking emotional since The Red Wedding and I'm watching a Danya speedrun. This was such a rollercoaster. Unreal.

Okay, that's actually a cold ass combo to win, good lord

The way people just write whatever in the chat and he takes it so seriously and is ready to spend the next 10 mins catching someone up if need be is so humble!

Already know I’m in for a good night when I see a new speedrun ep! Thank you Danya

The longer videos are great, and I hope you do a series at this higher level as you're able to demonstrate positional play in ways that are relevant to all levels and providing information about how to play in new openings that really isnt available otherwise. Loving the content!

Not boring at all - wonderful to hear GM Danya’s thought process and recommendations of other games and books and articles along the way.🙏

god that rook sac is one of those sweaty palm tactics you play with 80% confidence in low time and are just the highest highs in rapid for me, great game danya

it is incredible to see how fast Danya came up with the move! GMs are on another level

man this is amazing, i love the games where we get into theory discussion afterwards- my favorite part almost always

Incredibly impressive move combination at the end there!! Great explanation throughout these vids as well, love your work!

Hope this series goes on for a little longer because opponents put up real resistance now at that level and have to be outplayed.

This is the best speed run video yet and one of the best chess videos I have watched. So many pretty moments over the board and in analysis. Thank you for the great content as always!

I logged in my google account to tell you how awesome this series are. The tactic in the endgame is phenomenal. And Danya is such a humble guy.

Great video. I really enjoyed the in depth analysis of a quality game like this.

Wow, that was so much fun! Great game to watch. Thank you!

Thank you for this really instructional game! This is actually how I meet the Smith Morra to try to get White out of SM theory and go for an IQP structure. Most people at my level play cxd5 and then Nc3 or Bc4. I have good results against the alapin but never have had such a complicated IQP battle so it's nice to see how you handle the IQP and the bishop pair

What a game! Best of the speedrun. Appreciate your analysis as always

this is priceless material hearing your train of thought as you're playing. Incredible. thank you!

I was thinking this was the best speed run episode I’ve seen out of all of them, and THEN YOU DROP THE SAC! Crazy danya, best game youve played hands down

What a great game and what a great defense by his opponent. Good stuff all around.

Love when he gets the books out!! Thanks so much GMDanya

By far the best game of this amazing series. Thank you I have learned a lot so far.

You know what’s cool is that Danya was probably gonna lose this game but his instincts told him that keeping his bishop pair was paramount. Then out of nowhere they became his MVP’s. The way they ended up defending any back rank plans was slick af.

love to see a new master class by you sensie!

WOW WHAT A COMBO. absolutely inspired. great content !

incredibly impressive, learning more every speedrun episode!

Beautiful! It's also great that you teach people to study their games. If I would study my games this much, I would certainly improve a lot.

This is absolutely among the best episodes I've seen and I've seen the vast majority of these.

What a treat. An hour long of free chess class by a GM, clearly demonstrating his thought process, his proposed lines, his ideas, and the final execution. Hands down Danya's the best chess teacher online. I wish they can just dock 400 rating pts from him so we can watch him play these 2200s over and over again. Restarting the speed run with him playing the 12, 1300 doesn't really help because those guys blunder too much. And kudos to this opponent ... it came down to a small difference between that black rook on the C file vs D file that ultimately made Danya's tactic worked to a charm. But also kudos to the bishop G5 idea. That was a great move. And yes, not a single second spent on the engine that tells you the answer rather than making you learn to critically analyze your game.

amazing video, thank you so much

I have been blessed with another danya vid thank you algorithm 😂

That was naaaaasty 😂 poor guy, he played really well 👏🏻

Just wanted to say thank you daniel naroditsky sir. I was able to win my first chess tournament because of your teachings. Thank u so much sir. U are the best

Glorious tactic in the end, so impressive. Thanks Danya

What a meaty video. Thank you!

My favorite game of the speedrun! Sick move Danya =)

wow i think this was the best game of the speedrun, and there have been some amazing games

This was my favorite Speed-run game! It was great to see David tested and explain everything along the way and of course the ending was quite nice. Love the 15 minute TC too.

Damn what a game, and brilliant analysis

very interesting, thanks

Its worth pointing out again and again. The way you reason through and explaining your thoughtprocess as such an asset, when learning more about chess. And more imitaions please, thats another more hidden talent 🙂

This series is amazing

Oh My Days that final combo was incredible!

The opponent played so well! Amazing game!!

Crazy game, very interesting

That was an incredible game. Props to your opponent he played very well

so well articulated

Love the videos. I know you're already doing a lot to put out these videos, and I appreciate it, but just as a suggestion, I was wondering if you might consider putting the PGN or link to the game in the description? Would make it easier for viewers to analyze lines that they saw during the game. If not, no worries, appreciate the content.

Great to watch, amazing climax

i was following with an engine (on lichess), right around when danya was thinking about the rook sac, (minute 28.10 ish) the engine said the position was -0.9. i thought (since i read the title i knew danya won) this is a cool idea but danya blundered something surely, or the engine wouldnt say its a -0.9 if he didnt blunder something. After a moment when i played the rook sacrifice danya played, the eval bar went up the roof to +6. Even the engine didnt comprehend how strong the sacrifice danya made at first!!! What a strong attacker danya is just shocking

Holy crap that tactic was beautiful!

😮 Amazing!!!

Great Game!

great game!

speed fall: give me control of the sensei danya account and watch me destroy its rating. its a comedic tragedy.

This was the best example of a wining tactic coming “out of nowhere” I’ve ever seen. Black played an amazing game with no clear mistakes but then suddenly, as if chess was a solved game, it simply turns out all of danya’s pieces were in the exact squares they needed to be, not only forming a mate threat but defending against all counterplay. It turns out Black lost the moment he sat down to play danya. Amazing

A game worthy of the throwback ohmylands speedrun series name. Bravo 👏

That ending combination was insane. And for it to happen all in the endgame?? Crazy!

And that is how ladies and gentlemen, Chess is a beautiful game....the geometry of pieces, wow.

That endgame sequence was a work of art.

We love analyzing these positions. It's so educational, and applies to lower level games as well.

Hey Danya! That mate pattern is called Karpov Choke :) - learned that at Zibbit chess channel - Zibbit also loves the "sitting duck" term :)

insane

wow what a finish !!!

What an amazing game!!!!

that was such a cool game

knight c3 at 3:17 response is k(b2) to d5 which forces the engagment of the knight or alternatively p(a7) to A6 to force the early engagement or withdrawl of the treatening bishop, 10:10 game ends as well had black gone bishop f6 and then taken pawn and trades

cant believe i actually saw the entire line all the way to Bh4 before danya played the sequence. i love chess

Oh my lands that was great

Incredible rook sack with the 2 white bishops dominating the rooks, preventing back rank mate OOoofff

what a game!

Amazing tactic there. Thats bishops value there.

This was beautiful. I thought any morra declined game would become boring, that was amazing

Bro u are awesome

Best game of the speed run! That was like watching Anderson Silva in his prime lose for 4.5 rounds and finding a way to win in the crunch. Amazing

awesome

I actually spottet the full combination when Danya did. I dont think it's that hard to see when you realized that the White Bishop takes away the G8 escape square basically permanently an that Black has nothing to block the h-file with. Don't think it's a super hard combination to find but that doesn't make it any less beautiful and nice to have.

My God... What a game.

Amazing ending, WOW

God that ending was incredible.

I want an app that can take a KZfaq screenshot and open the position up in stockfish.

What an ending!

Wow that ending was crazy
