17:35 Analysis
#speedrun #grandmaster #naroditsky
Opponent plays the first move.
Daniel: now the game is effectively over.
Everybody's gangsta till Danya starts tucking his head under his shirt
My wife walked into my room and asked "Did he just lose?"
Lol
He’s prepping his ult. Anime style
Checking his fish bone necklace
That's his pose for powering up
10:07 "I've got to calculate something"
*Proceeds to look at the engine hidden in his sweater*
🤣🤣
lol
Lmao
LMAO
Hmph (that made me chuckle )
lol chat was getting nervous about the clock like Danya doesn’t play entire hyper bullet games in like 10 seconds
It's because we imagine being in his shoes there.
The fact that chat warns one of the best bullet players in the world for time is mind boggling
It's understandable.
@@peterevans3310 It really isn't and is strange. I didn't get worried even a little bit;10 seconds is a TON of time
@@catgenocide6940 not for everyone.
@@peterevans3310 yeah but that's where the "one of the world's greatest bullet players" comes in...
@@stvia Not really, because the viewers make the remark, not Danya, and it remains understandable that one cannot completely understand how 10 s is a ton of time, even when expecting it not to be a problem for Danya.
White would've shredded me.
me too LOL!! i am realising that lots of people blitz attack in the openings and win games against me in less than 15 moves. thats their main tactic,
@@jobkimani3517 you have to defend so accurately. It's hard.
@@bmoneybby precise AF or else you screwed
White was almost certainly cheating here lol, account is banned now
guy: “oh boy, my scotch gambit is too strong for this level, the guy is sweating”
meanwhile daniel: *gives an entire lecture on the position while deciding to premove a 5 move mating sequence*
Danya activated his ‘I am in complete control of the situation’ mode at 16:30 lmao
Also known as sicko mode
Proceeds to destroy opponent
Im new to chess can someone explain how good a GM is.. cz that was crazy
@@bashbk4599 There are ~1700-1800 GMs in the entire world.
@@bashbk4599 Naroditsky is around 160th in the world so he's very good
You know you played well when Danya has to hide to calculate the win.
That line, this is the second coming of tal had me nearly fall off my chair.
@15:45s. 20 second warning is started and this is the time I start moving randomly. But he starts explaining and even ask questions and waiting for answers. Then he start premoving 100% correctly. This guy is insane. Love the content.
10 seconds left: 'it really is an eternity'
Me with 10 secs: aaaaaaaaaaaaargh
Right !!!???!!!! I get nervous for Danya, and he’s still looking at the chat, sipping his drink, checking his stocks,
COMPLETELY IN CONTROL
Yep in bullet when Imma at 10 seconds I just blitz out random moves and pray to Xenu
Me: what?? I had 10 seconds where did it go??
Chat: *stressed about the clock*
Danya: *premoves entire rest of the game so everyone can relax*
What a pal!
Not gonna lie, he had me nervous again lol!
okay the random slavoj zizek impression at 30:16 caught me off guard ngl
This guy seems like the type I usually go up against, expect I don't defend as well as a gm lol
30:14 unexpected Slavoj Zizek
I was looking for this comment.
@@PROJECTJoza100 same here. I thought he was doing a Slavoj zizek impression but i wasn't sure
Two worlds collide
One of my favourite videos because it actually shows Danya defending a complex opening out of theory. As a Scotch Gambit player myself it was even more fun! Also it's somewhat "comforting" to know even though Danya clearly plays incredible Chess, finding the best defensive moves in this kind of time control really is impossible.
I've been addicted to Eric Rosen videos for ages, so glad to have found this channel, its just as good if not better!
I think they have very little in common besides playing chess. Eric is an uber chill dude and he goes on random tangents often ("badgers? ...fascinating"). The play styles are nothing like each other too.
This is all Scotch Gambit players I ever play. They know EVERY little trick. He played exactly like his rating ;)
Looks like I need to study the scotch because the game would have been over for me in 10 moves
yeah it definitely seemed like someone who had deep preparation in that particular opening
I also have trouble with the Scotch gambit as black.
You have the best chess content on UA-cam by a long shot. Simple, light, and practical. 👍🏼
I thought it was a really fantastic game, Daniel's play is always great to see but it takes two to make for a great game and I always appreciate the opponents who put up a challenge. Great content as always :)
Me: Oh No only 10,6sec!
Daniel: That's an eternity
Proceed to play 9 or 10 moves in 1.9 sec.
Why does this have so few views? Amazing instructional content.
I admire Danya's attitude toward chess and I appreciate all the effort he makes to help beginners and novices to get better at the game. I love watching these videos and I get lots of very useful information that helps improve my chess.
This is absolutely wonderful Daniel! Watching you stay so poised during his attack was truly educational! You KNEW if you stayed composed you would outlast him. I am so grateful you post these videos. Thank you!
One of the best videos on the channel, started out on the back foot in the opening, amazing turn around, the casual handling of time pressure at the end, plus the bonus cheating analysis. This video has it all!
Perfect timing
Quality video, insightful, hidden jumper calculations and the ticking clock. Cheers for another great vid.
“Ok… this guy is the second coming of Tal… “
😂😂😂😂😂
i love these videos! Very informative, easy to understand and entertaining :)
thank you, daniel. you always get me hyped before blundering my queen on move 8
I'd love to know how many times people have reported danya's speedrun account for cheating hahaha
Lol especially because he pauses in between moves
@@yurdyurd2902 yee
2:39 after 7. nh6 8. bxh6 black can simply castle short. This position is only +0.5 for two reasons. One, whites bishop is hanging on h6 and whites rook can be won with bxb2. After 8. … 0-0 white must give up his bishop on g7, simultaneously defending against bxb2. Once the black king recaptures, stockfish gives +0.6 which is a clear advantage for white, but not nearly as decisive as white might hope.
Nice zizek impersonation @30:18
Thanks for sharing your games because I've improved many points watching them.
I have been crushed by this opening several times.
Thanks for this lesson Sensei.
scotch and scandi gambit are scary lowkey
I love these speedruns. There is so much to be learnt, it's perfect. Thanks Daniel!
"JUST TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING IS AT EASE" -REAL OG DANNY!
great videos Daniel, love the pedagogy you demonstrate here, with you're level it's a superb class for us, just one thing if i may, although it's beautiful when you calculate super complex lines at the end, i don't think many of us can finish games like this, maybe winning in a simpler way would teach us more achievable ideas. Thanks for the content it's really great
Thank you for making such great content. I enjoy your videos and they have helped me progress so much!
this guy played a fantastic game, kudos
Love your confidence so muchh
"I'm in complete control". Really love that!
You know shit's on fire when Daniel recurs to his shirt stockfish
3:03 The fifth option. A nice name for a movie.
Danya with 10 secs left - this is an eternity of time.
Me with 1 min left - time to become flash. 😄
Hats off to Danya, he is the strongest GM under 2700.
This guy got the best compliment from you "this guy is the second coming of tal"
Excellent, thanks for such great and informative lessons.
I know this guy can beat magnus in a one minute match but it makes me so anxious when he's explaining when there's is ten seconds left
I love it when you win with a few seconds left without losing your nerves.
10 seconds left
Me ? MOVE !!!!
Danya - okay chat “what should we do here ? (Knight to b6 , no, that would blunder the knight )
Me - HURRY AND MOVE !!!!
Danya - I’ll be right back, need to get some more water
Comes back with 2 seconds left
“Don’t worry chat, this is an eternity !!!”
(And proceeds to win )
LOVE YOUR CONFIDENCE and PATIENCE DANYA !!!!!
The first few minutes of this game had me sweating bullets just watching 😂
A brilliant move is one that the engine doesn't find due it's lack of sufficient depth but turns out to be the best move upon evaluation afterwards
Danya tucking his head in his shirt is the same thing as Kobe biting his jersey
5:19 hahaha awesome
Also 6:01
Forgive me, I'm making notes to myself
your teaching & this video are gold!
I think it is super timely to see scotch as black
More great stuff. Thanks!
10:16 Nice Žižek :D
Finally he shows the opening of the german endgame expert!
Confirmed Stockfish on the inside of his shirt!
"This guy is like the second coming of tal" that's how I feel anytime I play anybody 😂
Did he try to imitate good ol' Zizek at 30:17 lol
brilliant episode
Amazing content
Oh HELL yeah
30:15 Danya is Zizek confirmed
Wow you didn't get mated in 6.. I'm impressed
I never know if I’m declining the gambit or playing in to it 😂
Critical was black in that game
@@chris5559 Declining the gambit is when you don’t take the offered pawn
@@chris5559 I think you mean refuting the gambit, which means proving why it's not good. Declining the gambit is the opposite of accepting the gambit, so taking the offered pawn/piece
I was kidding…
Lol at that underrated Žižek impression 😂
Welcome to russian school of chess.. very concrete 😂 👍 DANYA❤️
90+ accuracy in the 1600s is not uncommon Danya, actually in 60% of my rapid games (15/10 pool) at least one of the 2 players scored 90+ (I got 99 once to my opponent's 40, in 34 moves). We usually lose due to a blunder and often half of our moves are best move.
2:46 after dxc3 Qd5 Nh6 Bxh6 0-0 Bc1 Nb4 you cannot prevent Nc2+ and the position is like -1.5 for black. The problem though after dxc3 white should play Qb3 after which black has to sacrifice his f pawn and castling rights and that'd be slightly better for white. My little contribution with the engine analysis.
i enjoy the vides keep it up
Meanwhile, CHARLIE: This is EXACTLY what we practiced for
I'm so happy to see you play the scotch as black. I always get destroyed when facing this opening. Too many ways to go wrong.
I liked this opponent he played some very nice attacking chess and I'm sure that opponents on his rating level are having massive difficulties defending against this onslaught.
Can you do an entire video with that Zizek impression?
"this guy is like the second coming of tal" lmaooo
I always appreciate you're commitment to evidence-based process and presumed innocence when talking about cheating. These kinds of ethics are sorely lacking in today's world. I remember playing a friend online and I scored 92% accuracy (I'm only rated like ~1200). It was the best game I had ever played in my life... like the moves were just coming to me intuitively. He "jokingly" accused me of using an engine and it left a sour taste in my mouth.
I need Danya to be the voice in the airplane announcements when there is turbulence
those last 10 seconds was crazy haha
You know how I always guest best moves? Easy. Danya moves cursor towards that piece when asking to find it.)
Brilliant move is a sacrificial move that works.
When Danya says he is in control and playing so calmly in the last 10 seconds while still asking questions to chat, he is badass as making an en passant mate.
At 23:39 BLACK IS NOT LOST!!! Danya do you know that there's a very trappy line for black in this position? I discovered it on youtube as a weapon against the Scotch Gambit!
There you can castle and if white tryes to save his bishop with like Bc1 (most played move on the database) you have: Nb4, Qd1, c2, Qd2, cxb1=Q, Rxb1, exd5, Bf5! And white loses a piece, and an exchange! All the moves are almost forced after white blunders with Bc1, and the final position is evalued -5.5!
Alldoe this trap is very specific you could've played it in this game!
he knows but that is theory he wanted to play like a person who havnt studied theory. he wanted to play a what can YOU a non-gm do in this trappy line
@@tayk-47usa41 oh hold on, this is not theory! and if white don't blunders with Bc1 black is worst! It's a trappy line, and honestly i don't think he knows, because it's a bad line at high level and it's very specific, and if he did know i think he had mentioned it once.
He entered a lot more into theory than he wanted in the end, and of played like a GM, i didn't like this episode so much because he wanted to prove that you can avoid theory while in many cases you cant do it so easily...
Scotch gambit looks nice. also nice to have some idea of how to play against it :) thank you
Damn that scotch player was one of the most annoying player I ever seen
Danya is the OG-M
One of my favourite things is Danya's chat getting nervous when his clock goes under 20 seconds... as if Naroditsky isn't one of the fastest players in the world. Like if this dude can checkmate Carlsen in 10 seconds then he can do it with a random 1500
You really had to flex on them 😩
He had us in the first half, i´m not gonna lie
Lmao at the zizek impression around 30:15
Yeah, I always thought 11 seconds is an eternity when I play! 😳😂. This man is decent 😁👌
Actually the line danya gave at 2:30 is incorrect, yes white does win a piece but after Nh6 Bxh6 0-0 black is threatening to recapture the bishop and also is threatening cxb2, if Bc1 then Nb4 is better for black
but that is theory which he wanted to avoid
zizek reference really caught me off guard lol
I thought there was a forced mate by sacking the white Knight on h7, but then I played it out on a board and I don't think so.
daniel naroditsky was that a slavoj zizek impersonation?
another great game
In the latest Speedrun games you've been playing some Smith-Morra gambits. How do you like playing the scotch or goring gambit as white?
Why you didn't play Rock H6 at 27:27 when his Bishop was on G6?
I want more scotch theory
Hanging Pawns has a great channel where he covers a lot of theory (including a ton of theory in the scotch)
@@cooperfontaine2942 Thanks but I like Daniel way of teaching
