This is to let everyone know I was 1200 in November 2022 when I started watching Danya.... Currently I am 2180.... This is the real power of his teaching ❤🐐
I just wanted to thank you for putting out all these incredible videos. As a ~2000 player, it's hard to find good instructional content geared toward players around my level (i.e. not GMs but also not beginners). These high level speedrun analyses are absolute gold -- I learn so many new things in each one. I know you mentioned feeling burnout recently, and you should take things at your own pace. Your old videos are already enough for me to spend years studying. But your analysis just keeps improving, so I'm always excited when you do put out a new speedrun video or opening lab. Thank you so much for everything you do!
This might be my favorite Naroditsky video so far. The talk about rooting out the dark bishop and using a5 pawn weakness to hold down black so that white can maneuver on the other side of the board was very instructive! I’m a 1600 player and this is something I have not thought about.
It’s easy to get burnt out doing the same thing over and over again. I really hope you continue teaching on UA-cam. Your channel provides the most instructive chess content. Hands down. I’ve learned a lot from you and enjoy watching your videos. Thank you :)
Dear Danya i just want to say thank you for all of your lesson videos, *I won 1st place in over the board local tournament yesterday* . by13/14 points , (yes i crushed 13 of them, 2 by checkmate, 10 resign and 1 by time). i watch each of your lesson videos and take every piece of advice you gave into... you are great sensei. please keep doing what you are doing. love from Indonesia...
Great video, as usual. Personally, I would love to see more endgame material. Good endgame analysis, not just basic theoretical positions, is very rare on the internet.
opponent played amazingly well. My lichess stockfish said prep until move 15 or thereabouts. Danya made a slight error with the first king move, but it worked out beautifully anyway. Great game
Hi Daniel: I've been watching your videos and have some requests / suggestions for possible future videos: 1) I'd love to see a KQ vs KR challenge video vs. the Chessbrahs - the contest being who can hold out the most number of moves before checkmate. 2) Similar endgame challenge videos vs GMs - choose a start position then see who does better (by some agreed upon criteria). And a post-match conversation would be fun as well. 3) Analysis of top engine games (e.g. from TCEC or CCC). Some people do this, such as Jozarov and GM Matthew Sadler, but I'd be fascinated to see how you approach commenting on these super high precision games. Hope you like my ideas.
Love to see an Endgame from the Sensei!!!!! Amazing details in the analysis. The tactics to walk the King away from the Pawn because the Rook and Pawn are protected for promotion. 10/10
Great video Danya, as always. Would love it if you eventually did a video in your endgame series on practical rook and pawn endgames, though this game was certainly a great start!
Oh my lands, your video on piece activity(the one where you sacrificed a pawn against a 2100 for the “pigs on the seventh” activity.) is so useful. That kind of position makes the game come alive with fighting!!!
Love it as always, would love to see more vienna now you're at a higher level as I started playing it thanks to your earlier vids and I've risen 300 points to 1850 and would like to see your higher level analysis on the main lines. Regardless thanks for whatever you do after all it's your enthusiasm which makes these magical
its incredible that how someone read a position all this endgame may be i am exggagerating but may be found with enough time and i think magnus do it by process of eliminating i really dont know but avoiding mistakes can be real but conversion is different story and every one can see the beauty and thanks to danya
Very instructive and encouraging that these rook endgames are even too complex for super GMs. One key note I took from this is to NEVER play the Belgrade Gambit, it's just way too deep theory for a occasional player to learn, so below 2200 level I suggest to avoid it.
When I started playing chess 3 years ago I watched any content creator. I was rated 800. Now I am at rated 2000 OTB and the only video’s I watch and take seriously are Danya’s. Dude is a powerhouse and a beacon of knowledge.
I wasn't feeling like watching chess tonight but after seeing my favorite opening 1. e4 Nc6 i was in awe! I learned to play Nimzowitsch Defense from a speed run scandi video where it was briefly mentioned. I belive this is the first game this has happened, no?
Your the best teacher ! I watched alot of Gotham and Nakamura, Rosen etc.. but always end up with you ! And you give me more improvment, than all the other streamers ! Played 2 years now, and rated 1600 cause of you !
always think.. What would Danya do? .. saying that to myself in my head, and i play better ! Even won over a 2550 player (he lost alot of rating, and was not happy about that, but cause of you.. My best game i actually had 99,7% accurancy :) Well.. One in a lifetime i guess :)
46:04 isnt rook b1 also a move? If he takes the pawn with pawn we win two rooks. If he pushes with the pawn we just take and get a pawn for the trade and the a-file opens up. If he doesnt react and lets say he catsles we would be able to got king to b3 or bishop c5
Um, this question is for GM Naroditsky and chat: Normally a bad Bishop is caused by placing your pawns on the same colour as your Bishop... however I also believe that a bad Bishop can also be caused by the opposition skillfully causing you to defend or attack in such a way that it causes you to obstruct your own Bishop and that a bad Bishop may also be caused by your opponent attacking squares along the diagonal thereby immobilized the Bishop. My question is where can I find examples of both cases? Which famous games, or your guyz' games, or Daniel's?
This is to let everyone know that i was 800 elo when i first watched naroditsky. I immediately watched chessbrah instead and am now 1850 rapid. Dont support those guys.
e4 e5 "Okay, so he goes e5. Now a lot of people here would just lazily develop the knight to f3, but we actually have a move here that poses a lot of practical problems for black and is borderline winning for white. The move is Ke2, and do not worry I will explain this more thoroughly after the game. Now you might look at this position and say, 'isn't this weakening our king and blocking in our pieces?' And while that may be true, you guys need to start thinking long term. In the endgame, it will be a huge advantage to have our king activated in the center. Furthermore, black has no threats here, he is not going to checkmate us any time soon, the king is perfectly well defended on e2. Now he does have a nasty little defensive resource he can try here, let's see if he finds it. Wow, Ke7 he finds it. Now guys, I don't wanna hear any baseless accusations, we will check with an engine after the game. It's not unthinkable that a 161660 finds this move. No black has not equalized, we just need to play clinically to secure our advantage."
Do a gambit only Speedrun. Balgred gambit, king's gambit, danish, Stafford, smith mora, Vienna, englund, elephant gambit etc. Not queen's gambit though
hey danya, im wondering if you are still planning to release an additional repertoire package to cover nimzo, benoni, kid, dutch, qid, french and caro invitations to supplement your jobava course
Hey Danya, What is your recommendation against players who play the Bowlder attack with d4? Face it a lot and struggle since it often transposes into a Taimanov type setup if I play the recommended e6 which is a position I am very uncomfortable in as black
virtually no risk, that's attractive but that double rook ending was less than sexy, if you know what I mean: If it were an otb game you could spend five hours just thinking about anything you like, and still collect a full point! However, I don't know that many chess players to whom you could sell that idea. Most of them - if you ask me - are adrenaline junkies. It's a rare breed that will collect a full point without taking risks.
@@musical_lolu4811 no ، I know how hard to get 2200 rating , but the game was nearly equal throughout the game and there wasn't actually any direct threats or attack , but he won because of a single mistake at the end of an equal endgame , I mean this 2200 player held the position nearly to the end against a person whose whole life was about chess , this is brutal and ridiculous And Don't misunderstand me , iam not critizing my best teacher GM Naroditsky , iam just critizing how chess sometimes seems not worthing wasting my time and money learning it

that is phenomenal
insane
actualy god teir improvement congrats, danya took me from 1200 to high 1800 personally, he's very good at what he does
What rating was this specifically?
To trust or not to trust🧐
Ive been feeling terrible from a hangover all day, but I got up to put this on the big screen and make some popcorn to watch this
🍿🎉
Feel better!
Thats epic bro I'd do the same thing. If your friends could see you then they'd think u so weird lolz
@@DazDillingerCox Bad friends in that case. If people judge them by their hobbies I'd say get new ones lolz.
57:47 encouraging to see that even at GM level rook endgames are impossible to understand
Possible, but take hours of analysis

The ones with complicated endgames are my favourite Speedrun games.
Somehow I always play better if I play a game after watching a speedrun video. It’s like I can hear Danya talking about the game while I play it
How many times have I heard that voice 'but don't miss the tactic!' and save my ass🤣
@@sqrti8825 lmaoo
so true
lol same@@sqrti8825
Yea I started watching danya a week ago and I advanced from 1000 to 1100
Dear Danya, you have made my top 6 people that have ever lived whom I'd invite to my dinner party. 😊

Love seeing such high level speedrun games. Keep it up, Danya❤
Opening up your thought process makes it the best way for me to understand your decisions along with the various tradeoffs along the way.
I'm almost never an e4 player, & this was still incredibly instructive.
🎉🎉🎉 Danya video what an amazing day

1 move into game
Absolutely everyone:
Naroditsky: ok this game just got very interesting we need to analyze and understand this elaborate position
Danya dropping heat on a Sunday! Love to see it
Love you Daniel

It makes chess feel like it’s so worth learning
Yes! I was just wondering about this opening and a speedrun video on it comes out! Perfect!
Very instructive middlegame and endgame clues. Thank you.
Another banger video daniel
just missed it live, as always 😅 thx for uploading Daniel
Wow excellent video. So interesting and well explained. Thanks!
Very Instructive educational..... enjoyed this video and learned a lot from it
love watching daniel play and comment games.
Very happy to see you back Danya!
My head is spinning from the immense depth and complexity of these supposedly "simplified" R & P endings!
Love it as always, would love to see more vienna now you're at a higher level as I started playing it thanks to your earlier vids and I've risen 300 points to 1850 and would like to see your higher level analysis on the main lines.

Yooo
I live in Belgrade
As always. The real deal!
Great video! :)

Masterful endgame play! This is a good watch.
just stoked that “trousers” made an appearance
great content!
Amazing stuff yet again❤
Please just do 10|5 for all upcoming speed run. It's the sweet spot
Thank you this is amazing

Now I am at rated 2000 OTB and the only video’s I watch and take seriously are Danya’s. Dude is a powerhouse and a beacon of knowledge.
Great one danya!
hes right, its a mentality issue. its better to play on a move by move basis, acknowledge only what is needed, thats the power of details.
Been a minute good to see it
always a lovely day when danya uploads
I don't think I've heard of the Belgrade Gambit. But I love early d4 grabs at the center, as opposed to d3 which can also be interesting.
Getting addicted to these hour long videos
Waiting in anticipation for a gambit speedrun 🤞
Would love to see a new speed run where you only try to reach an endgame every match
Wow!
Rook endgames always come with surprises, in bullet or even in classical 😂 no one should call it boring
Love the 10+5!
I wasn't feeling like watching chess tonight but after seeing my favorite opening 1. e4 Nc6 i was in awe!

27:20 What does he mean by independent value? I must've missed his initial explanation 😅
Doesn’t transpose to another opening
@@andrewmayne5096 Ah, that makes sense. Thanks :)
Love the idea

I noticed this game was really a Battle of the 5th and 4th rank.
@gmnaroditsky please analyse the positions that arise from centre fork trick in Belgrade gambit. Thank you.
My only regret watching this video is that I can only like it once.
doesn't the engine give Bxc6 instead of Nxc6? Yes, White gives the Bishops pair but in exchange for Black's doubled pawns
49:59
the bishop on b4 was pissing Danya off!!!
36:00 Can someone explain some of the possible benefits of f5, if e5 didn’t happen to work with so many other attacking ideas?
Danya is the 🐐
Danya glitching at 1:22🤔
Do a gambit only Speedrun. Balgred gambit, king's gambit, danish, Stafford, smith mora, Vienna, englund, elephant gambit etc. Not queen's gambit though
No knock on today’s Chess24 commentators, but I hope you and Peter are back for the World Cup soon.
Awsome

I just checked your channel yesterday to see if you'd posted lately. Pull your finger out Daniel san 🤣

why’d he castle if he was just going to move his king back to f7??
Danya 🐐

You think 2200 is child's play?
