  Andy Soltis an American GM was once asked how to handle the Danish.  Andy responded, "Take two pawns and call me in the morning".  Posted for the algorithm.  PS  Non-Americans and those not from my generation may not understand the colloquialism.

  Very underrated channel. The content here is worth a lot more than just 15.5K subs.

  Playing against the Danish Gambit is like taking a knife to a gun fight.

  I have started to really appreciate gambits because they show how important activity is and the importance of not making moves that are a &quot;doozy&quot;!

  I love the way you repeat moves from the start when you cover a new line that make us very easy to remember such a good teacher!!!

  Coach Andras, I have no idea how you pack so much information into such a relatively short video like this but very well done. And my favorite line from this one after that Qg5 move, &quot;Anytime you face a move like this, I highly recommend you evaluate it: Is it what I expected? No. Is it developing? No. Is it controlling the center (centah)? No. So it&apos;s a terrible move? Yes!&quot;. Just keep developing and black will fall apart soon enough. Very good advice. If we had a breakdown of all the openings like this, it would be liquid gold. You have a wonderful way with words when describing the positions at hand. I wish you much success with your teaching. I&apos;m learning a lot from you.

  One of the best chess videos I&apos;ve ever seen. Grateful for a guy in a comment section of another chess channel who recommended me to watch Andras. Cool explanation. Subscribed
