Danya, I'd LOVE a masterclass on the Grand Prix. You've advocated for both the c3 sicilians and the grand prix, but haven't played it even once.

[denisdemonte]

ive spent a friggin ton of time searching for good youtube to explain move by move for my levels and this is leagues beyond everything i've scoured over ! thank you so much.

[aristodemosii.]

Please turn the audio volume up a bit in the future, I have mine at maximum output and it is still rather quiet. Thank you. :)

[kruksog]

Danya, I need you to post about 3 times as often as you do. These are just too good.

[josephsalmonte]

My new favourite Chess teacher. The speed run you already did was amazing 🙂

[alexwiththeglasses]

I enjoy how GM Danya steps through possible moves and showing how some are not as good as they might seem and others good but needlessly complicating.🙏

[mikecantreed]

5:30 you know the opponent is playing well when danya checks their rating history

[Joemama-rbhc]

Been waiting for this opening for so long

[BiggyJimbo]

Those few moves leading up to checkmate were beautiful.. great game!

[ericgilmore]

Such a clean video, very calm thought process and clean execution, opponent played as well as he could for his rating. When a gm has this much time to think over the board there's nothing to stop the inevitable checkmate. Daniel is a great teacher and a class act. o7 to you sir

[godisgod]

Thanks Danya. Best educational content out there!

[sparrox]

props to your opponent to have played this until the end

[dinkleberg]

Nice video Danya. Not sure if you’ll see this but can you please increase the volume of your videos in editing? The youtube ads are always so much louder than the video which blows my eardrums out

[jamesp]

It’s insane how well Danya explains chess. It would be so nice to have him as a coach but I unfortunately don’t live in Charlotte so it’ll never happen.

[dauvyde]

Hey Daniel, I really enjoy theses classes on chess that you make. I would love to see you explore more about the "common themes" that you refer before the opening, and explain how you play around thoses themes more. it is one thing to know theory but I feel like once I am out of the book, I am clueless. big love

[anaddictwithapen]

Watching Danya's speedruns turned me into a very patient player when it comes to slowly converting a winning position, which increased my rating rapidly as my main problem was rushing with under-prepared attacks and eventually blundering

[RajnaTMS]

What a mate 😊 Beautiful lesson against the ponziani!

[thrill.]

I just wanna say thank you Danya! Just finished watching this video and then went on to win 7 games in a row and got to 1200 blitz!

[KF]

21:13 that's a pleasant thing right there. Nice dynamic finish

[garbour]

Great pacing and explanation of your thinking. There are so many resources that teach specific openings/tactics but it's hard to find things that explain positional chess as well as you do
