He jacked the game on move 2 with the weak ass horse move lol

@@southerncharity7928 Still an incredible defender. He plays like me lol: bad openings, but awesome on defense.

@@southerncharity7928 if Magnus were to play that moove you would c*m instantly

@@marlon7555 he ain’t Magnus, my guy

@@trequoragainst me I would punish you immediately for playing a terrible opening. Opening is very important. Don’t neglect it my guy.

lichess analysis board is also nice for that

Good stuff

That's a good recommendation, I'll try that to make the learning experience more active than passive.

Another way is to listen, remember and apply. Without a board. For more advanced players

Yeah, an attack will usually fail if there are more defenders than attackers. Always develop.

One of the main things which taught me about the importance of piece development was refuting dubious sacrifices in the opening phase of the game. I would look up with an engine where I went wrong, what engine wanted to do and engine always wanted to get the pieces out as quickly as possible, I noticed that by far my best bet in such situations was to get my pieces developed as fast as possible while not blundering anything dumb.

I remember when playing the London there was a line where I would take on b7 and temporarily be up a pawn. That variation worked against players up to certain rating but I could pinpoint exactly at which rating level players started punishing my greedy play and getting great initiative after which I would be lucky not to lose fast. I remember when playing tournaments on lichess I would judge whether to take on b7 in such positions based on the rating of my opponent. I don't remember where the line was but I know that when I saw my opponents were below a certain rating treshold I would play Qxb7 otherwise I wouldn't. This all tells me that in order to get better at chess you need to face opponents that will actually punish your mistakes.

@@danielward7008 what I meant is that I can succeed to exploit a weakness (pawn on b2 🙂). But, then, the lacking of my development often causes me problems later. Basically, I will concentrate more on my development on the opening phase. Regards.

If you're talking about dxc4, there's nothing anti-positional about that. I think you're thinking of the specific case of recapturing an exchange away from the center when you have a choice between taking with, say, the b and d pawn since taking with the former would have supported a future push of the d pawn. But there's nothing intrinsically unprincipled about capturing away from the center in general, e.g. when there's pawn tension as in this game or when you're recapturing if there's no choice between pawns.

Doing the same thing rn lol

I liked “a priori” ☺️👍🏽👏

Previous speedrun he play e4 c6 nf3 d5 e5 and if bf5 then nd4 Bg6 e6 Idk what this line called tho

Sometimes he recommends the goldman variation

I'm blown away by Danya's greatness. I am however underwhelmed by Danya's gangsta side.

@@GERBILSAURUSVids Class act for sure.

then the bishop on d3 will capture the queen

It was explained to me that Its called the fantasy because if the pawns are exchanged a certain way in the middle, white gets two pawns in the center and an open f file for his rook when he castles short. So its a "fantasy position" for white as he gets two pawns in the center and a semi open file for his rook.

It IS named after a chess master, Maroczy Variation is how lichess calls this

Probably because the engine automatically starts analyzing when the game ends

Because he opened the engine as soon as the game ended

@@pranavjoshi2968 He did that fast then

Even if he had an engine open the whole game what's the problem? He's instructing not competing. All the opponents of the speedrun get their ratings points back anyway.

@@jackbicknell4711 You're kidding, right? I would be REALLY disappointed if that was the case.

@@TimJapan well I see where you're coming from, but at the same time, the teaching included in any chess lecture you watch will have been thoroughly prepared using books and engines. As long as he understands the moves he is explaining and explains them well I'm not sure I'm bothered whether or not he came up with them on the spot.

The eval bar shows up when the game ends

He was definitely using an engine. How can a 1700 player play like a super GM

@@rayshido1908 She was asking whether Danya was using an engine. The other guy did not play like a GM at all, Qxb2 is clearly appalling.

I understood, the joke was referring the fact that he is playing on a 1700 elo account like a gm because he is

@@JohnsonSmithson It doesn't show up instantly does it?

Living up to your name

Gotham posts alot of click bait thats why he's more popular. Daniel is for serious chess players which there's less of

no

It's an opening repertoire. In previous fantasy variation videos he has explained the theory from Black's perspective too. If you're not satisfied, go pick some opening book or training and do your homework.

@@musical_lolu4811 Funny. The point is he always plays Fantasy from White's side. The content, in general, is catering to you, so enjoy it.

Don't be silly.

Bro 🤣🤣🤣

When a game ends the board usually goes into analysis mode and shows the engine evaluation

Lol 🤡

Both your character as well as your IQ are showing and it isn't flattering.
