Thank you for everything Daniel. We miss you

Hey Danya, doubt you will see this but just wanted to let you know: Take care of yourself first and foremost.  Don't push through burnout just for us.  While we love your content, I am sure most of us would agree that your health and wellbeing matter more

RIP Danya.  Your videos were fantastic and you were  a contribution to the chess community

This opponent is now a National Master! Congratulations to him 🥳

He played a really good game!

Rest in peace, Danya-Sensei.

Don’t worry about the lack of YouTube videos — your live commentary is a gift in its own right.

Reading the comments makes me sad, I'm watching the video like he's still here 😢

Rest in peace, Danya. Know you are missed.

Danya, your community loves you and wants to grow with you in a way where you stay happy and healthy. If you need to take time for yourself, do it. When you’re ready to come back this will still be the best chess content on the internet

You’ve given countless hours of top tier chess lessons and content for free. Absolutely nothing to be sorry for. 50 years ago people would’ve paid and arm and a leg for access to your level of explanation and we all get it for absolutely nothing. No one can complain about slightly less frequent uploads

RIP the saint of chess community

Thanks for all the content you've provided over the years! 🙏

Got my first title today all thanks to you danya.. We all miss you so much

Danya at 1100 elo: "Our opponent plays the philidor defense, already a mistake. Here's a 15 move line of perfect engine moves to punish it."
Danya at 2400 elo: "We could equalize with c6, but let's play this other line that's more fun."

2026 and I still can't believe this amazing guy is gone. Rest easy brother

Danya you desserved  much more better. you  are a real big missing to the chess. Regards from Algeria

Your videos helped me gain so much rating. With that being said, you’ve made an enormous amount of content so far. Your channel is a gold mine and if you need to take a break and focus on life then do that brodie. More than enough content for people to watch. Didn’t you write a book when you were like 10 or something lol you’ve been working hard for a long time 😂 take some time off and pursue some other stuff if you want. Sometimes a break can lead to future growth when you go back to a former passion. I know that always happens when I stop making music for an extended period of time. Hope whatever you decide to do gives you happiness man

rest in power sensei <3

Kudos to Daniel for turning the chessboard into a playground of wit and wisdom on his streams! Learning chess from him is like having your brain cells do a happy dance. I'm so thankful for this content!

Hey Danya, as someone who is suffering from work burnout as well I know that a lot of this goes in one ear and out the other. We all care about your well-being. I don't think there's a single fan that wants you to pump out videos and be stressed and burnt out. Focus on what makes you happy to produce(or not produce). I promise, no matter what it is we will love it.
