There was a point in history not too long ago when content like this would cost a small fortune. Even today there are paid courses which don't hold a candle to the prophet. Great stuff!!

"the most popular wrong answer" was my move lol

[Steff]

these moves like Qb8+ are easy to spot when someone tells me there's a winning move (like in a puzzle), but in real games it's so much more difficult to know when to spend that extra couple of seconds to look for tactics

[CodeShudder]

"I think this is a start of a very good series..." - YES!

[claxmma]

I just got back into chess for the first time since childhood and there are a surprising number of good content creators but none even hold a candle to danya as far as teaching. I genuinely feel privileged getting to view this content for free.

Love this new idea of going through games and answering a specific question. The prophet delivers once again.

I LOVED this video. helpful for people in this rating range.

[tomdon]

This is even more instructive than the Speedrun (which is very instructive nonetheless), thanks again and I hope you'll make more videos like this!

[frrmack]

This is amongst your best content. More of this format, please!

[JFresh]

24:38 - the advice here is amazing. Never thought of that. Definitely going to be looking to do that in my future games :).

[FoMiAl]

Daniel, your content is IMO the best among all chess streamers. Thank you Daniel & thank you YouTube!

[Novacification]

These videos are totally crushing. Thank you so much for all the instructive content!

It's amazing to me how positions that seem so hopeless to me are only a matter of pattern recognition to GM Naroditsky

[tylerburk]

There danya goes once again. Anticipating my questions I didn’t know I had, and teaching me well enough that I can explain it to others.

[igorleitner]

Love the vid! Also i have a very cool idea for a series of yours, where you like talk about how to progress in chess most efficiently. How to analyze your games to get the most out of it (preferably without the engine), how many games to play a day, how to analyze grand master games, how to study positional play, how to study tactics (although you already made a cool video on puzzles) and things that you think are important. Would love that kind of series, of course if you have time to do that.

Your videos are almost singlehandedly responsible for my improvement from 1000 to 1500. Thanks Daniel!

Games like these are why I don't always get upset at losses. I think it was Nelson Mandela who said, "You either win or you learn." It's a good way to approach all competitions, I think.

Looking forward to more vids in this series🤞
I’m retrospect I should’ve started keeping a list of GM Danya’s greatest analogies… 6:50 shooting a dinosaur with a bb gun!?😆

[jonrankin]

DN's analogies get me every time. Attack those dinosaurs!!

[peterflom]

Excellent video and I think it could be a series of dealing with typical middle games from various openings
