  I miss you daniel, we all miss you. And ill miss you going forward too, every time i think about or play chess ill miss you. I sent you an email last year at the height of the cheating allegations and while you never responded directly, you thanked everyone on a stream for all the positve messages and help you received and im just glad you knew people supported you. You were an angel who i hope is able to now look down on us all and give us some strength with our own battles. Thank you for helping so many people, you were truly one of lifes brightest burning candles, and ill take the memory of what you did, what you stood for, and just how much you cared about all of us fans watching forward with me with everything i do. I just miss how happy you always seemed, your lovely smile and your warmth. Goodbye Daniel xx

  This would be the perfect channel for the Khan Academy of Chess, just because you make everything so clear!! Thank you Danya, it&apos;s been a great journey.

  Above and beyond chess, this series made my days brighter and was a strange source of meditative comfort and familiarity. Thank you for being one in a constellation of people that make my world better.

  I absolutely love your idea to be the khan academy of chess. Your skill as an educator is outstanding. <br>I think a helpful resource may be to create playlists from the speed run by opening. So like all the caro-kann episodes in one place. And because you rotated through them so evenly, you could watch the Caro at 800, 1200, 1400, etc. back to back to back and really see the progression in the complexity of the opening. Seems very Khan Academy-esque to organize it thay way.

  This is how I want to play. Accumulate pressure to unleash devastating attack. Always struggling with premature aggression and especially hasty pawn moves. If I can imitate even a bit of this, my win rate will skyrocket as I do tend to get very favorable positions even against people 300~500 points above me in rating (online rating). Which I then throw down the drain...

  Really looking forward to the openings course. Yes, plenty of other resources for them, but no-one teaches like Danya. :)
