Can’t wait for Danya’s KID Chessable course to drop! His mastery of this opening always makes for enjoyable games. I’m currently in the 1300-1400 rating range at age 28 after leaving the chess world when I was a middle schooler back in 2006. So I’m finally at a point where I am recognizing the beauty this opening. It truly takes a lifetime to master this opening the way Danya has and it shows in his games. Idk if you’ll see this but thanks Danya for reigniting an old passion and love for chess. Thanks for the countless hours and effort spent on your part to give us these lessons! 🙏🏾🙏🏾
I've never taken the time to watch Daniel's channel, only seen him in other chess related channel clips. I gotta say, he's a fantastic teacher, explains positions and concepts extremely well. Definitely subbed
I hope you continue to use the alapin against c5. It avoids a lot of Sicilian theory and you can’t really bypass the alapin once white plays it. It’s also really dangerous for black and almost no one knows how to play against it below master level. I know GMs see it as a rather drawish opening but I am just crushing everyone with it :D
Is there a rough date on when the King's Indian chessable course will be available? I'm actually looking to update my repertoire now and this will be a good time to pick up on kid.
@@robdubent Also buyer beware. We already had that scam in the 90s when they sold a 10 cent CDs for 20 USD. Do you still buy CDs or have you wised up and not support the rich? Ticketmaster is now getting sued for the same monopoly tactics. So, no, I wouldn't say it is capitalism. At best it is a very unhealthy one which doesn't promote competition. But if you want to call 500 pound people morbidly obese Olympic track athletes, then I guess it is capitalism. Again, buyer beware, you don't have to buy at jacked up prices. Promote it for one price and for a longer period of time and do it honestly.
Love your content. Would be awesome to see some more changes in the opening repertoire, though I get that openings is not the main focus of this speedrun, nor is it all that important at this rating range. I definitely prefer a speedrun that focuses less on opening theory and I think that is far more relevant for most viewers, but still. I would personally love to see Open Sicilian as white and Nimzo-Indian as black. Not sure how many people at this rating level plays the Najdorf or the King's Indian. It's cool to see the Glek system though, I can't remember seeing it much before.
Is it possible we get another speedrun reccomendation like the taimanov, four knights or accelerated dragon instead of the Najdorf?? The Najdorf is just way too theoretical for most people (including myself), and i feel like there would be more benefit from an opening most people can learn more practically
@DanielNaroditskyGM. Danya, you are an amazing chess teacher, I send all aspiring chess players to your videos. I've been playing chess for 27 years (expert player now) and I wish videos like this would have existed when I was learning, unfortunately, all I had was a beat to $hit copy of MCO and an early version of Robert Hyatt's seminal chess engine, Crafty. There are advantages to this approach as I feel like I got a good understanding of the great chess players in history, how the game has evolved and a general sense of chess history, It's no wonder there are so many chess prodigies these days, with great teachers like yourself and engines like Stockfish, the tools that are available are amazing. I can't wait to see how chess changes in the near future, players like Gukesh seem to play alien chess, with little regard for dogma and ruthless concrete calculation, they are changing the face of chess. Again, thanks for all you do, you and Daniel King are my favorite chess analysts and commentators, keep up the good work!
19:25 "Unless there are any questions." How are people allowed to ask questions? This looks like it was a pre-recorded chess class/session where people could attend? How does that work?
@@RaskazFirundin Yea, well, I am not waiting minutes for Twitch ads to finish. UA-cam lets us see the stream "live". If he doesn't want to take questions from UA-cam watchers, then that is fine with me. I am seeing how these chess sites are competing and not appreciating the fans. I have no problem looking at the games, commentary, and annotations post-hoc. 10 years ago we used to be considered important.
The engine move at 39:00 makes me hope for a reconsideration on not playing the Grünfeld in this speedrun, perhaps at least at the higher levels. There is a total of just five Grünfeld games on this channel - an oversight for an opening this good, I believe.
Or maybe I'm just frustrated because I rarely get a chance to play my theory against 1d4 and hold out hope that some of my opponents pick up on some lines against the Grünfeld if they watch you crush unprepared opponents with it. For me, it takes a lot of the joy out of learning theory if even 2100 rated opponents make serious inaccuracies against my lines by move 8. If I'm lucky, I get a main line exchange classical every once in a while, but mostly it's just inferior versions of the already boring Brinkmann attack. The frustration is mounting. (On a sidenote, big thanks to the editor. This channel wouldn't be where it is without you. Also great music!)
This video shows why its so frusterating to play at the 1000- 1100 rating. First opponent plays d3 and second goes sicilian nardorf theory. I literally have games were my opponent pushes 5 pawns in the opening and next game im playing 15 move ruy lopez breyer theory. 1000s have identity crisis.
Thank you, Danya! My night has been miserable; I threw up in front of a girl i admire, I broke two fingers in a silly fight and Real beat Dortmund. You bring me comfort again. Thanks bro
How's king's indian fianchetto and Sicilian fianchetto bore different results? I am not sure whether that question makes proper sense or not. Does they differ in just White's choice between playing d4 or e4?
43:25 still a great opening for anyone below "top level". Strong and fun to play! Also, super easy to get into, you get a development advantage and practice your attacking instincts.
Is focusing on theory as a beginner/early-intermediate not counter productive? I mean, for many games you either outplay your opponent in the opening and need to convert an advantage or you get to an equal middle game and just get mercilessly blown off the board. (Given your opponent in the same rating range probably is better when the middle game starts.)
Danya: "Naijdorf is theory, theory, theory, theory. You need to know the theory." Proceeds to play it in speedruns when 99% of people won't play the opening and get absolutely nothing from these games. Not even positional concepts because the games are won just because your opponent doesn't know all the theory.
Perfect timing. My food just arrived. There is nothing better than watching a Danya speed run video while eating.
I always wait for my food to watch a video of Danya
crispy pizza with corn and cheese. it's like cherry on top
Word is bond
The only way to eat food is with a youtube video playing lol

Patiently waiting for your Kings Indian Chessable course. This was another great informational speedrun video.
Love these videos danya, I’m glad you still find the time to make them
I'm so happy you come back thanks
Thanks, you are a beast teacher
This video was unbelievably instructive thanks a lot Danya!!
Upvote if you want danya to upload more frequently.
Danya is getting too much cutass as of late in hyper blitz to upload any more frequently. Wounds take time to heal

He busy :(
He's very busy because of so frequent chess tournaments this few months
Honestly cannot get enough of this series. Personal opinion I like the shorter but more frequent 5 minute games
Literally got home from the airport and just wanted to chill; this showed up on my feed. Thanks Danya!
Thank you❤
I'm so excited for the course
Always love the videos Danya, especially when the openings I play happen to get covered!
thanks danya i had a great time
really very informative, Daniel :)
Notice how whenever danya says ill try to make it a good video it's always without exception a banger video
Cheers Danya
Amazing content, thank you
i concur with your analyses, well done
Excellent content as always, Danya! Thank you very much.
do your chessable and eat your vegetables was hilarious 🤣, great content as usual

Thanks for the video Danya!
Daniel, danya, bro, you are amazing. I always look forward to your endgame videos!
Perfect timing. It is 3 am and I am debugging.

Where is KID? I see some weird opening (game 1) and Najdorf Sicilian (game 2)
OK. This is game 3 not mentioned in summary :)

I will never become a GM, but a man can dream. I can at least be decent thanks to these videos

Always makes my day when an new Danya video pops up.
Checking back in after a while Danya I was reminded by Vlad I have a great content creator to help me learn the KID
I love the idea of an 1100 going to relax with a game of chess and running into years of GM prep
Kings Indian?

After watching some of your older videos recently, Its pretty odd to seeing your camera quality suddenly improve lol.
Kindly make more King's Indian Defense videos
They're always memorable but I still have to go back and rewatch them lol
Go Danya rooting for you in the Bullet Championship!

Does Daniel have a release date for the KID Chessable course?
at 21:54 why cant white take with a pawn?
I think it can but it leaves the knight hanging, so now Black is up an extra knight. 21:58
what if it was Develop Instincts Yourself and then you could call it DIY Speedrun?
Am I missing something or did none of the games feature the KID?
Be3 in last game is wild, don't think I've ever seen this move and I've seen some weird moves in KID.
Thank you, Danya! My night has been miserable; I threw up in front of a girl i admire, I broke two fingers in a silly fight and Real beat Dortmund. You bring me comfort again. Thanks bro
08:35 innocuous

How's king's indian fianchetto and Sicilian fianchetto bore different results? I am not sure whether that question makes proper sense or not. Does they differ in just White's choice between playing d4 or e4?
Is it possible to do one for more advanced players?
Gotta wait man it’s a speedrun
Hi bring a video of sicilion 🐉
Was thinking to learn kings indian and bro casually drops a vid
Am I blind or did he not even play the KID
Against KID , with whites, what´s the best line ? Thanks
I love the I have to convert in 30s comment in game 3. Especially as I watched this video the day after the hyperbullet finals! 😂

Hi Danya, can I request to change the board colors to something more comfortable at night? Like a dark color scheme to watch while in bed? Thanks
I find this color scheme very comfortable at night to be honest, maybe turn down the brightness a bit?
@@misterunknown8923 Using lowest brightness. Blue and white is a very bright combo

No. This has been the theme forever

So - where is the KID here? What am I missing?! Edit - OK, I found it. No mention of a 3rd game threw me.
Sucks when you know chess. I was thinking the same. "Wth? No possible way to get to KID from here..."
