Wish I could keep up!

Nf5 looked crushing to me when you instead played the long exchange variation starting with Rxd4. If d5 in that position, Nxg3 looks real good.

Great video and I love how he keeps you laughing at times.

The pace is frantic and I had to pause and back up twice to keep up with the calculations especially going into the endgame where the f7 pawn was under fire. But I LIKE having to do this because it means I am learning something.
Every time I watch one of Danny's videos I feel as though I am being hauled along by my bootlaces! It's definitely helping me to see deeper into positions and I can't wait to get into my next match now!
What looked like a drawn opposite coloured bishop ending was nothing of the sort - so this was another demonstration of excellent technique (apart from the dodgy King move towards the end! :p).

No wait c4 Bxd4 cd Ba1
Instead of Re1 in the opening, doesn't c4 hitting the knight win a piece after c4-c5?
by IM Daniel Rensch
After equalizing quickly against the English opening, IM Danny Rensch finds himself playing an "unstable" middlegame with neither side possessing a clear plan. When his opponent allows for an opposite colored bishop ending, Danny seizes the opportunity to grab a small advantage. Is it enough to convert? Watch and find out...
