03.08.2023Always great video's. ❤ Can you play evans gambit sometimes? I want to know what happens if you play evans at higher than 2000. With your explanations would be 👍

01.08.2023Danya, listen: WE LOVE YOUR VIDEOS, NO MATTER HOW LONG THEY GET TO BE. (I actually would be onboard for a lot of other Najdorf lines). Sending you a lotta love from Brazil 🇧🇷

01.08.202310:03 he archives the person lol then moments later says, "I am impressed with how our opponent is handling this line. He knows a lot more than even some gms [aka fabiano caruana]" lol

01.08.2023Of course Danya spends a lot of time teaching us his genius, but still these 2000/2100 players who can play so perfectly against a super GM in just two minutes make me a bit suspicious.

01.08.2023Man, please play najdorf in the future.
Such battle inspires more than dragon, no matter the amount of theory required.

28.07.2023This was such a cool video! I'm a beginner but I used the idea of infiltrating weaknesses with the queen to win a game today! Thanks for sharing the knowledge 🙂

28.07.2023fun fact miguel najdorf largely stopped playing the opening by his name later in his career because the theory had expanded far beyond his grasp, if i recall right he recounted a specific few times he was caught in the extensive prep of much younger players and lost. not sure if danya mentions this because im only halfway through but still.

28.07.2023What is your main weapon against d4? Is it the KID. Im not sure if I like Grünfeld or KID more. Atm I think Grünfeld, but love the najforf, so a lot of theoretical openings, only thing with Grünfeld is that its more endgames than the KID. Which are nice, but I want to pick the one that is more in line with the najdorf. Any tips?

28.07.2023hi danya, thanks so much for all of your awesome content.
I was really waiting for you to get to discuss the Najdorf, as it's my favorite opening and my main weapon against 1. e4, and I'm even more excited that you faced an English attack. what I was really surprised you didn't even mention is one of the best weaponst againgst the English attack, which is I believe Boris Gelfand's idea: responding to 9. Qd2 with …h5?!, postponing or avoiding castling (depending on white's play). In my experience, h5?! really frustrates white's attempts at a quick pawn storm on the king side, as the plans just become too slow, for example, h3 can be met withe …h4.
anyway, thanks again and hopefully for all current and future Najdorf lovers out there, you get the chance to discuss this line in a future video.

Clifford
28.07.2023"Can anyone spot the tactical defense?"
Okay brother, I looked directly at the move Kc5 and even so, I didn't see how it worked, with the arrows on the board. I guess I'm not gonna be playing the Najdorf XD.

27.07.2023I don’t understand how these players can outplay a strong GM while using so little time.

27.07.2023One of Tartakower's sayings was "Erro, ergo sum." He said that even before the advent of computers. Pretty prophetic.
Pan Michael
26.07.2023English attack in najdorf ends in only two ways: boring equal endgame, or black 3 passed pawns on kingside vs white 3 passed pawns on queenside.
I love this opening

25.07.2023Why didn't you talk about the h5 lines? They're very good to play practically and black typically gets amazing positions

25.07.2023Did you see the potential to infiltrate with the queen on the kingside ahead of time? Or does that just come up as you play and the position evolves?
Moreno Croda
25.07.2023lol you already had played this opponent in the video titled Smith-Morra Gambit ACCEPTED | The Sensei Speedrun | GM Naroditsky
Its a Trap
25.07.2023Does Dayna have a suggested approach to the reti opening? 1.nf3
C. Denny
25.07.2023I’m around 1400-1500 ELO and since this video dropped I’ve faced the English 3 times 😂 despite barely ever facing an open Sicilian
One game followed this game EXACTLY all the way up to BB5. I played the H5 line with great success and won the game! Thanks Daniel 🙂
Robert Gelblum
25.07.2023Well, I made it through the entire video! While I might have a headache from trying to follow all that deep analysis, I feel that even if I understood fully only 10% of the video, it must have had a big positive effect on my overall chess understanding.
