The best non-chess part of this video is Alekhine's creepy little grin, which is wild for a video where Danya's doing impressions.
@self-righteousideologue9398
2 жыл бұрын
Alekhine's Gun was original called Alekhine's Grin due to the way Alexander would grin while setting up the rook, rook, queen formation. Soon, however, Alexander Alekhine was grinning for over twenty minutes straight while he waited for his opponent to respond to his formation, and grinning for that long is very hard to do, not to mention a little creepy and distracting. Thus, Alekhine's Gun was born. Born as a substitution to Alekhine's Grin

@9:45 I think it's a combination of three things: 1. Most people are used to playing faster games, so it is difficult to break the habit of playing quickly. 2. A lot of people just get impatient. They want to blitz out the ostensibly easy moves so they can hurry up and arrive at an "interesting" position. Basically, they want to play the whole game like a tactics puzzle. 3. Thinking for a long time on a move tends to lead a lot of people to overwhelm themselves considering complications and variations, leading to performance anxiety. It's a small stress relief to just play a move and deal with the consequences.

An interesting thought on the "why play 15 minute chess when you make moves instantly" idea, back when I played a lot, I would play 5 minute chess (ended at 1100). They started to not be easy wins, and then I switched to 10 minute chess. As my rating reached my 5 minute rating, what I noticed was that people who played in my games would try and match my speed. But since I was coming from 5 minute chess, I was used to quick moves whereas they weren't, so I could play at least relatively reasonable moves for my bracket while they would blunder quickly. And these games were just fun. Now, you can very easily say that this builds bad habits and that this isn't sustainable and stuff to that like, and I would say you're right, and I don't play chess anymore because of frustration. But it was still fun playing the dynamic of people trying to match my move speed until it wasn't. But also, neither people in the game were a GM, so the instant exploitation of a small error that Daniel always sees isn't there, and it is silly to play quickly in these games, but it looks exponentially more silly when you're a GM, when in a normal game they get away with it more often so it feels more safe
