huh? Stockfish 15 browser sees +5 instantly on Qg6, hence it's called a blunder by the game analysis (depth 14) also, I have seen moves that the engine doesn't realize are best until depth 30, but I am definitely not better than Danya.
Besides sacrificing The Rook I feel like this is the ultimate demonstration of why the bishop pair is so dominant in an open end game. Despite the king being very vulnerable in the corner the Bishops were able to cover back rank multiple times while still fulfilling other jobs.
@@SchyllingWhistle he basically said “go to an ear doctor” to someone who told him he wasn’t saying “adjust” when touching his pieces without the intention to move them at a chess tournament
Other chess streamers: OMG look at this crazy line!!!!11!! Me: *sleeps* Danya: I have a crazy line that just might work, or maybe not. Me: HOLY HELL LET'S GOOOOOOO No really, only Danya's hype about something is believable to me.
"1 bad move spoils 40 good ones". Damn opponent was so solid for the whole game, even leading, but that single Qg6 move allowed total annihilation. I learn from Danya more than I do from books. What an awesome teacher he is!
The most incredible combo in the history of this channel. The truly amazing aspect is the coincidence of the two bishops guarding the f1/c1 back rank! A beauty!
yes the combo is incredible, but I don't think it's the most incredible in the history of this channel, Danya finds insane tactics all the time, though this one is def special
The longer videos are great, and I hope you do a series at this higher level as you're able to demonstrate positional play in ways that are relevant to all levels and providing information about how to play in new openings that really isnt available otherwise. Loving the content!
god that rook sac is one of those sweaty palm tactics you play with 80% confidence in low time and are just the highest highs in rapid for me, great game danya
The way people just write whatever in the chat and he takes it so seriously and is ready to spend the next 10 mins catching someone up if need be is so humble!
You know what’s cool is that Danya was probably gonna lose this game but his instincts told him that keeping his bishop pair was paramount. Then out of nowhere they became his MVP’s. The way they ended up defending any back rank plans was slick af.
What a treat. An hour long of free chess class by a GM, clearly demonstrating his thought process, his proposed lines, his ideas, and the final execution. Hands down Danya's the best chess teacher online. I wish they can just dock 400 rating pts from him so we can watch him play these 2200s over and over again. Restarting the speed run with him playing the 12, 1300 doesn't really help because those guys blunder too much. And kudos to this opponent ... it came down to a small difference between that black rook on the C file vs D file that ultimately made Danya's tactic worked to a charm. But also kudos to the bishop G5 idea. That was a great move. And yes, not a single second spent on the engine that tells you the answer rather than making you learn to critically analyze your game.
Thank you for this really instructional game! This is actually how I meet the Smith Morra to try to get White out of SM theory and go for an IQP structure. Most people at my level play cxd5 and then Nc3 or Bc4. I have good results against the alapin but never have had such a complicated IQP battle so it's nice to see how you handle the IQP and the bishop pair
This is the best speed run video yet and one of the best chess videos I have watched. So many pretty moments over the board and in analysis. Thank you for the great content as always!
This was my favorite Speed-run game! It was great to see David tested and explain everything along the way and of course the ending was quite nice. Love the 15 minute TC too.
I was thinking this was the best speed run episode I’ve seen out of all of them, and THEN YOU DROP THE SAC! Crazy danya, best game youve played hands down
Just wanted to say thank you daniel naroditsky sir. I was able to win my first chess tournament because of your teachings. Thank u so much sir. U are the best
knight c3 at 3:17 response is k(b2) to d5 which forces the engagment of the knight or alternatively p(a7) to A6 to force the early engagement or withdrawl of the treatening bishop, 10:10 game ends as well had black gone bishop f6 and then taken pawn and trades
This was the best example of a wining tactic coming “out of nowhere” I’ve ever seen. Black played an amazing game with no clear mistakes but then suddenly, as if chess was a solved game, it simply turns out all of danya’s pieces were in the exact squares they needed to be, not only forming a mate threat but defending against all counterplay. It turns out Black lost the moment he sat down to play danya. Amazing
i was following with an engine (on lichess), right around when danya was thinking about the rook sac, (minute 28.10 ish) the engine said the position was -0.9. i thought (since i read the title i knew danya won) this is a cool idea but danya blundered something surely, or the engine wouldnt say its a -0.9 if he didnt blunder something. After a moment when i played the rook sacrifice danya played, the eval bar went up the roof to +6. Even the engine didnt comprehend how strong the sacrifice danya made at first!!! What a strong attacker danya is just shocking
Love the videos. I know you're already doing a lot to put out these videos, and I appreciate it, but just as a suggestion, I was wondering if you might consider putting the PGN or link to the game in the description? Would make it easier for viewers to analyze lines that they saw during the game. If not, no worries, appreciate the content.
Its worth pointing out again and again. The way you reason through and explaining your thoughtprocess as such an asset, when learning more about chess. And more imitaions please, thats another more hidden talent 🙂
I actually spottet the full combination when Danya did. I dont think it's that hard to see when you realized that the White Bishop takes away the G8 escape square basically permanently an that Black has nothing to block the h-file with. Don't think it's a super hard combination to find but that doesn't make it any less beautiful and nice to have.
Great rook sac, uncanny how those bishops cover all the key squares. But it wasn't an endgame sac, it was a queenless middlegame. There is such a thing.
Yeah, and another problem is that many times when Danya tries to play the Najdorf, he gets hit with "anti-sicilians" like the closed, delayed alapin, and weird Bc4. It just seems like a lot of people in the speedrun rating range don't like to play the open with white.
5:55 I don't usually find cuts like this too jarring, but when we are encouraged to 'think for about a minute' before an immediate cut to the move played, it can be frustrating. Perhaps consider some fade style cut in situations like these? Anything to make it obvious that we will be skipping time so we can pause and think if we choose before seeing Danya's 'solution'. Great content as usual though! I always learn a lot from this channel and particularly the Sensei series. Highest quality chess videos on youtube imo.
That tactic landed like a thunderbolt outta nowhere. Poor guy. Danya is a monster.
That doesn't make sense... He's a grandmaster obviously
"There must be a win here, let's calm down and find it."
*finds it instantly*
Stockfish 14's evaluation of the position after ...Qg6:
Depth 25: -0.4 (cloud)
Depth 26: +6.8
Conclusion: Danya is at least depth 26.
thats amazing
Wow that is incredible!
huh? Stockfish 15 browser sees +5 instantly on Qg6, hence it's called a blunder by the game analysis (depth 14)
also, I have seen moves that the engine doesn't realize are best until depth 30, but I am definitely not better than Danya.
So bf2 kind of saves the game for black wow

Danya: Imma clickbait the s*** outta that.
Also Danya: *writes exactly what happened and puts three exclamation marks
Gotta love that dude
Lol yeah. It reminds me of his story about the "edgiest" thing he has ever said. It was kinda cute.
@@howedaddy6122 what was the story
😂😂 what a legend
@@SchyllingWhistle he basically said “go to an ear doctor” to someone who told him he wasn’t saying “adjust” when touching his pieces without the intention to move them at a chess tournament
@@beesone_chess cold as ice🥶🥶🥶
Damn two bishops defending c1 and f1 from backrank mate is the best "random" defense I saw in my whole chess life
Random? Sensei Danya doesn't do random ;)
That's what happens when you play GMs. Their pieces just surreptitiously end up in best possible places.
Power of the bishop pair at play. There's a reason why GMs are obsessed with bishop pairs ;)
@@bloodycrepe that's why it's in quotes ;)
@@NickMaovich you must be fun at parties ;)
Other chess streamers: OMG look at this crazy line!!!!11!!
Me: *sleeps*
Danya: I have a crazy line that just might work, or maybe not.
Me: HOLY HELL LET'S GOOOOOOO
No really, only Danya's hype about something is believable to me.
Here we go....boom(sacs a rook or two pieces)
A 2000+ rated player: Find a strong move that Danya missed
Chat: CHEATER !!!
Not only 2000+ rated, I checked his profile and he has earned the NM title
Amazing game and analysis! Your speed run videos have been instrumental to my improvement. Thanks!
Danya about brilliant sac: "I'm going to clickbait the heck out of this!"
Meanwhile Gotham: "MAGNUS! MAGNUS? MAGNUS!!"
So accurate. Hans CHEATING CHEATING CHEATING in the title then in the video, “we don’t know anything about the situation.”
Gotham is a pedantic leftie. Naroditsky and chessbrah are the real brah.
@@pavlos712 Jesse what the fuck are you talking about
@@pavlos712 🤡
Beautiful finish to that game. Those bishops were doing an unbelievable amount of work!
Bishop pair from hell
Phenomenal Game, Nothing beats these 2000+ SpeedRun games
Its truly unbelievable. All the knowledge we get for free, modern times man.
This is undoutedly the bishop pair of all time.
"1 bad move spoils 40 good ones".
Damn opponent was so solid for the whole game, even leading, but that single Qg6 move allowed total annihilation.
I learn from Danya more than I do from books.
What an awesome teacher he is!
God chess is so brutal that Qg6 is a bad move because of that ridiculous tactic
@@jib151515 truth spoken

yes the combo is incredible, but I don't think it's the most incredible in the history of this channel, Danya finds insane tactics all the time, though this one is def special
That last tactic was BEAUTIFUL
GREAT FIND with such little time!
Imagine what goes through his mind in a classical game
I was laughing maniacally with that combo
I haven't been this fucking emotional since The Red Wedding and I'm watching a Danya speedrun. This was such a rollercoaster. Unreal.
This is hands down the funniest comment 😂

Already know I’m in for a good night when I see a new speedrun ep! Thank you Danya
Frfr. I'm either sober enough to have a good night or had a few drinks and have a great morning 😊 5:30 am on the east coast and I'm 10 mins in lol
Incredibly impressive move combination at the end there!! Great explanation throughout these vids as well, love your work!
Not boring at all - wonderful to hear GM Danya’s thought process and recommendations of other games and books and articles along the way.🙏
god that rook sac is one of those sweaty palm tactics you play with 80% confidence in low time and are just the highest highs in rapid for me, great game danya
Solidarity with another sweaty palmed tactic player 😂

Okay, that's actually a cold ass combo to win, good lord
it is incredible to see how fast Danya came up with the move! GMs are on another level
You know what’s cool is that Danya was probably gonna lose this game but his instincts told him that keeping his bishop pair was paramount. Then out of nowhere they became his MVP’s. The way they ended up defending any back rank plans was slick af.
I logged in my google account to tell you how awesome this series are. The tactic in the endgame is phenomenal. And Danya is such a humble guy.

Hope this series goes on for a little longer because opponents put up real resistance now at that level and have to be outplayed.
Wow, that was so much fun! Great game to watch. Thank you!
Great video. I really enjoyed the in depth analysis of a quality game like this.
this is priceless material hearing your train of thought as you're playing. Incredible. thank you!

What a game! Best of the speedrun. Appreciate your analysis as always
Glorious tactic in the end, so impressive. Thanks Danya
amazing video, thank you so much
wow i think this was the best game of the speedrun, and there have been some amazing games
That was naaaaasty 😂 poor guy, he played really well 👏🏻
We love analyzing these positions. It's so educational, and applies to lower level games as well.
Its worth pointing out again and again. The way you reason through and explaining your thoughtprocess as such an asset, when learning more about chess. And more imitaions please, thats another more hidden talent 🙂
What a meaty video. Thank you!
And that is how ladies and gentlemen, Chess is a beautiful game....the geometry of pieces, wow.
Best game of the speed run!
That was like watching Anderson Silva in his prime lose for 4.5 rounds and finding a way to win in the crunch. Amazing
speed fall: give me control of the sensei danya account and watch me destroy its rating. its a comedic tragedy.
That ending combination was insane. And for it to happen all in the endgame?? Crazy!
Hey Danya! That mate pattern is called Karpov Choke :) - learned that at Zibbit chess channel - Zibbit also loves the "sitting duck" term :)
Oh My Days that final combo was incredible!
If you ever needed a demonstration of why the bishop pair can be powerful... that was a clinical finish.
That was an incredible game. Props to your opponent he played very well
My favorite game of the speedrun! Sick move Danya =)

I dont think it's that hard to see when you realized that the White Bishop takes away the G8 escape square basically permanently an that Black has nothing to block the h-file with.

@5:48, @6:05, plot twist: Daniel is actually a 1200 player getting engine moves from the chat
A game worthy of the throwback ohmylands speedrun series name. Bravo 👏
That endgame sequence was a work of art.
Incredible rook sack with the 2 white bishops dominating the rooks, preventing back rank mate OOoofff
cant believe i actually saw the entire line all the way to Bh4 before danya played the sequence. i love chess
This series is amazing
so well articulated
Great rook sac, uncanny how those bishops cover all the key squares. But it wasn't an endgame sac, it was a queenless middlegame. There is such a thing.
Honestly, I wish more content creators covered the Open Sicilian
Danya has several Najdorf games across speedruns
Yeah, and another problem is that many times when Danya tries to play the Najdorf, he gets hit with "anti-sicilians" like the closed, delayed alapin, and weird Bc4.
It just seems like a lot of people in the speedrun rating range don't like to play the open with white.
Great to watch, amazing climax
The opponent played so well! Amazing game!!
When your opponent has an isolated queen's bishop pawn, they have an ICP situation.
@Daniel Naroditsky
On 51:48 can't lightsquared bishop block the chech on f7 and simultaniously defend the queen on g6?
That move pins the bishop and drops the white queen
@@rawkurface ah sure i'm dumb sry
Damn what a game, and brilliant analysis
Crazy game, very interesting
very interesting, thanks
u have serious powers
at 47:00 minutes there is a mate in two by just doing Bxf8 then Qh8. no need to simplify for a pawn :)
Bxf8 loses a queen, no?
Danya, Rd2 is actually losing after black plays f5!! -- with precise play white's dark square bishop ends up trapped! It's a crazy combination!
Amazing tactic there. Thats bishops value there.
Damn Danya, these 15 minute games and your enthusiastic and crazy in depth analysis afterwards are amazing. Thank you! 👏🏼

the sicilian has provided the best games so far in the speedrun
I want an app that can take a UA-cam screenshot and open the position up in stockfish.
Considering it's such a disturbing move to the strategy, I am very interested as to how that Qe4 move "discourages" but not stops f5.
wow what a finish !!!
