Ive known that Danya is a KID player from the various speedruns but this is the first time I feel like he has really shown how deeply he knows all the lines.
Agreed. As an aspiring KID player myself I was nodding my head along with almost all of blacks moves as they seemed to make so much sense to my limited understanding and Danya just absolutely dismantled him! Really cool to see, but also a little bit scary!
@@niranjanrajesh1058 of course I did and obviously Danya shows impressive knowledge of nearly all openings, but it was really evident in the video that he REALLY knows the KID because it's part of his main repertoire
I think that was the longest laid plan which was successfully executed on a speedrun video, with a couple of ad-breaks on the queen-side. Absolutely unbelievable plan which worked out so well like a movie script. How can Danya ever top this?
One of the most frustrating things about facing the KID is how easy it is as black to play near book moves for 10-15 even at low ELO. Very tough to gain a significant advantage against even with great accuracy.
I've been in love with the Averbakh since the last time Danya showed it, but always struggled to make progress after h5-g5 closed the kingside. I'd end up sac-ing the bishop too early and usually lose, but this taught me so many cool ideas like delaying f3, how to reroute the knight, the Rb1 resource to deal with black's a3 and the need to connect the rooks without castling before Bxg5. So excited to take these ideas into my games!
This was such an in-depth line and it blows my mind how casually you explained all the moves and ideas which pay of 5-7 moves later. Absolutely awesome!! I hope you make a series or some long videos explaining some of the famous openings used at high level. I'd definitely watch them all.
Daniel Naroditsky you are an incarnation of a literal chess god. Plz don't ever in your life stop this series. It is a haven of knowledge for us commoners.
I think the potential of pieces is the hardest concept for new players to understand. The activity of a piece directly and strongly correlates with its future prospects. Just because a knight is on an outpost for example doesn't make it active if it can't go to any squares and sometimes it needs to come back and be redeployed. A piece pointed at a weak pawn often has the best kind of activity because it has the potential to capture a pawn and when weak pawns fall there tends to be a cascade effect because often the defending sides entire position collapses since their play leading up to that point was to defend that pawn. Thus the position of their pieces no longer makes sense and now the absence of that pawn creates more weaknesses in their position. The knight on f5 in this game would be pointed at two weak pawns and every forward square in Black's position is a potential landing space. That knight might be the most valuable knight possible behind only a knight giving checkmate. Therefore, just the potential of going to that square already constitutes a lot of activity as black's options become very limited because they cannot allow the knight to land on f5 free of charge. Very instructive illustration of how the threat can be stronger than the execution even if the threat is just positional.
Naroditsky on demand creates live instructive games and gives masterly demonstrations. His commentary is superlative - concentrating on themes and being light on 'lines'.
Thank you, Daniel! What a great insight into those types of closed positions. I have learned so much about this wonderful game from the angle you teach at. #1 DN.
Daniel it is sooo fantastic how you explain all !!!!.....you do sooo incredible videos for chess hobby players... this makes chess much more exciting for everybody!!!!! It is one fo the best chess video cannals ever !!!
I think this whole h4-Nf5 idea is on par with that one insane Queen‘s Indian Greek Gift if anybody remembers that. Outstanding. And I‘d like to quote that previous video here: „Just because computers exist doesn‘t mean there no longer is any magic hidden in chess. Actually it means that now we can appreciate the magic even more!“ In my opinion, seeing the engine spit out Nxg4 as a critical resource for Black isn‘t souring the combination for me, it lets me learn without worshipping false idols so to speak.
I'm certain I haven't missed a single upload from the Sensei but this game and the explanations were so incredible, I've watched this 3 times in a row. Sounds mental but it kept getting better with every repetition. Thanks to the black player who played such an awesome game as well.
The mark of a good teacher is anticipating the doubts of his students in advance and covering them, and he does that quite effortlessly, covering all the nuances and possibilities in a position. I can watch this all day.
I learned so much from this video Danya! I regularly encounter the position (or very similar) that you reached after about 10 moves (usually transposing from 1.c4). Right through to the very end of the game I was constantly picking up new positional and tactical ideas from your explanation. Thanks very much
loved this video! great stuff Danya. Can't believe you haven't reached 1M subscribers yet. Where else can one get such great chess advice from a real super GM... Thanks
Very instructive King's Indian game. I think this was more instructive than the previous one's I've seen. Much simpler to understand the key concepts in these variations at least.
On move 13, Nxg5 was winning according to SF. Aside from that insane sac for long term compensation, these closed type of positions remind me of computer chess games where it seems that black has a blockade/fortress, but usually does not. See games 98 and 100 from the TCEC Season 23 Super Final and see how Stockfish crushes Lc0 in a closed position to learn more.
Hi Mr Daniel. I really love and enjoy the way you re playing chess. I learned a lot from you, tremendous thanks. believe me i have seen and predict all your moves. I think I am on my way to be like you. yestrday, I beat 1600 elo on 16 moves due to a trick i have seen on your chanel. furthermore, I want to say thank you so much for your clear english I realy enjoy developing my listening since I m an Enlish learners from Morroco ( arabic country).
Really impressive game. Your opponent played solidly but just didn't anticipate the bishop sacrifice idea which totally opens up their king. Also very instructive to see the option of going uncastled in a closed position.
The only thing I try to remember from my KID prep, is to go for the e6 break against aggressive lines like the averbakh or four pawns. But definitely without h6, cause you always wanna recapture on e6 with your f-pawn rather than your bishop
I'm surprised that at 7 mins in and still no castle unless there was something I missed. Also at around 15:22, I saw a tactic I think that also lead to checkmate for Black. It starts Ne6, dxNe6 - f7xe6, Ng4, 00, Nxg4... I wonder if anyone else sees this. I just realized the pawn would be in the way of the bishop after the pawn takes back Ng4, the rook is not enough it also needed the queen to back it maybe. My rapid rating is around 900 and I'm trying to improve my calculation skills and really like what I think is a deep dive, good times!!
I think i am going to start playing this instead of the classical. The classical if black knows his stuff is something he has played a lot and probably knows exactly what to do. This one, he probably does not face that much at my level and I can see a lot of people blundering with the automatic e5.
These slow maneuvering games are fascinating. With the position so closed that you can take the knight on a lazy jaunt to get it where you want it's just amazing stuff.
Wow this game develops so slow until it's suddenly over. Spend multiple moves slowly repositioning king and knight, and then all of a sudden black doesn't have time for counterplay.
So white took 5 moves to get his knight to f5, but couldn't he have done it in 4 if he just moved the light square bishop on e2. Then routed it thru e2 - g3 - f5. Maybe the light square bishop has no good square to move to temporarily without compromising whites position too much
23:09 you wanted to show an awesome idea after the game that didn't quite work. I assume it was 1. Qxg5+ Kh7 2. Nf5 Rg8 3. Qg7+ Bxg7 4. hxg7+ Kg6 5. Rh6+ Kg5 and White has run out of ideas. Correct?
Naroditsky for Nobel chess prize.
ong this man has taught me so much
Agree
Naroditsky is great at this coaching stuff. He should consider writing a book for intermediate levels.
Not even joking though. Hall of famer :D

If the kingside is closed; castling queenside,walk the king all the way to g2 and then attack the queenside is also a legit plan.
This lesson felt like a proper chess army tactical plan put into perfect execution

This is my favorite speedrun episode of all time, and I watched all of them!
Much love from Italy, thanks for all of the amazing lessons ❤
16:05 "This bishop is terrible, it's a big pawn." LMAO
You are my favourite UA-cam chess teacher ❤️🔥
You are probably the world's leading expert in KID. Would love to see more games in this opening from white side and black side 🙂
GM Gawain Jones is also a strong contender for that title
Danya is great but many superGM are probably stronger (Nakamura, Vishy, Radjabov...)
Daniel Naroditsky you are an incarnation of a literal chess god. Plz don't ever in your life stop this series. It is a haven of knowledge for us commoners.
I don't really have anything to say other than I love this series and I try to leave a comment on each video because it helps the UA-cam algorithm.
I think the potential of pieces is the hardest concept for new players to understand. The activity of a piece directly and strongly correlates with its future prospects. Just because a knight is on an outpost for example doesn't make it active if it can't go to any squares and sometimes it needs to come back and be redeployed.

Very instructive illustration of how the threat can be stronger than the execution even if the threat is just positional.
If I could only keep one UA-cam channel it would be this one. Awesome content.
I love the premieres! You get to discuss the game with other people in chat and it's a fantastic experience. Please do more premieres!
Thank you mucho for this averbakh variation Danya! I was really struggling so much against the king's indian
An unreasonably instructive game. Nicely done
That Nxg4 counter-sac is *immediately* going into use in my games. Wow!!
So happy to see another Averbakh! The last Averbakh video truly helped me win a ton of games and lots of ELO :)
I'm confused, I'm either getting mad deja vu or this is the same video?
@@Oldlard whoa. Perhaps? But I thought the move order was a bit different. I didn't search, did you?
@@Oldlard ua-cam.com/video/B0AdPztLsHs/v-deo.html
As someone really trying to improve my chess I find you to be the most articulate teacher here on yt. Thank you for these videos Danya
i love seeing him playing the kings indian, it is like seeing magic
All my homies love GM DANIEL NARODITSKY
That was one of the most elegant win I think I ever seen. Like the position played itself. Beautifull game - thank You!
Such an instructive game, especially with your commentary. I learnt a lot!
Moves like Rb1 or the subtlety of playing Kf2 instead of Kf1 are mind blowing.

This is one of the most complicated game in the speedrun
Hey Master, I really appreciate your lessons, you got me fighting side to side with strong players in my village!

Wow. truly a beautiful game. Connecting the rooks with Kf2 before opening with the attack was like watching a boxer tape his hands before a fight.
Amazing game, superbly explained!
Thanks Danya for continuing to give your time to give us the great content. By far my favorite chess content provider. You explain chess so well.
amazing as always
