I came for the instructive chess, I stayed for the masterclass in knight puns. “We’re going to hold our horses.” “Not going to beat a dead horse.” Truly incredible stuff.
Danya, thanks for your videos. They have helped me find peace in my life. If I had your ability to explain myself like you explain chess maybe my wife wouldn't have left me for Sergei. Since watching your videos I've found a new job, am in the best shape of my life, reconnected with my daughter who wanted nothing to do with me because my rating was so low, and joined a community of men whose main goal is to come up with strategic ways to get their partners back from Eastern European plumbers. You are a god send Danya. I owe it all to you.
Good luck on your journey Jonathan, as I have prior experience with similar situations I can tell you that a 2000 Elo in Blitz should be sufficient to get your wife and accordingly also your old life back!
@WorldOfDeepThought I play Nf6 to provoke e5. Then I return with Ng8 so my light square bishop can go to f5. I know this is definitely wrong but I'm always afraid to trap my bishop like in the french. So I give up some tempo hoping to get a similar structure to the exchange or advanced variation
Been watching the speed runs for a few years now. Somehow this was one of the best and most instructive videos you've ever made. Loved it. FYI I am making PGNs out of ALL of you beautiful opening analysis in this speed run! Happy to share with you once it's all said and done! Thanks for all you do
Hi Sensei Danya, thanks for continuing to upload all the time. I hit 1200 bullet and broke 1350 rapid recently. Huge progress the past year and I owe a lot of it to you!
Love learning the Fantasy. Always seems to lead to great attacking positions. I had fantastic one in a game after watching these videos but missed the key knockout 😂🤦♂️. I really like the tip Danya mentioned before about every time a pawn moves it weakens another square. I always look for that now and helps.
It's been a joy watching you discover and embrace your passion for teaching! Your videos have not only made me a better chess player, but your positivity and kindness inspire me to make better content myself! THANK YOUUUUUUU!
Fantastic content. Is it possible to make a playlist of different openings? It would be super convenient to roam around the old videos of the same openings.
The light square bishop trade in the opening is inspiring. I thought the it's the good bishop for white because white's pawn was fixed on the dark square ...
Very proud that I thought of Rf6 during the game ahead of Nf6+! Just looks so nasty. (Having checked with the computer: I didn't see the follow up lines... Absolutely disgustingly insane attack. Need to spend a few more decades on tactics to calculate that properly 😂)
33:12 without White's Knight on f3 already, the b4 recommendation is completely losing for white. Precisely due to Black's Knight sac on b4 that you specifically said was nothing. That's a long enough line to where White's Knight on f3 ultimately saves the day, that you definitely should have covered it at this level. Especially explaining why Black's strongest engine move of that Black Knight sac would be the follow-up and absolutely brutal in any other circumstance.
If it's not too much trouble, for future videos would you mind posting the PGN in the video description (with all your analysis moves)? I think that would be super helpful
19:17 is there a chessable course that has these types of overloading tactics? Most tactics just involve pieces, which seems limited. I'd like something with more gamelike tactics.
@@kurosakiichigo7475 he said: "it's checkmate in 2, there's no way to stop mate" It's implied that it's unavoidable mate in 2. I wrote that comment because it was funny that the engine gave such a long forced mate, in 25.
Thank you for sticking with the Speedrun even though you are feeling sick, when I have a cold I barely have the energy to do anything. I hope you feel better soon!!
Hey, ive been watching your twitch and youtube for a bit, currently i'm watching at 14:55, i was wondering, you said there were two candidates for the move between the queen and the rook, but i was wondering what if you just go knight to h7? im not a great player, so im just trying to understand a bit more. Is it because it blocks your own pieces from pressuring the king since you are so close to checkmate at this point?
Yeah, I noticed that move as well. It's a top engine move, but it takes Stockfish 11 on lichess a while to find it (depth 32 is when the engine evaluates it as best). Before depth 31, the engine doesn't like it. It's funny how humans can spot these ideas quicker than some engines.
I came for the instructive chess, I stayed for the masterclass in knight puns.
“We’re going to hold our horses.”
“Not going to beat a dead horse.”
Truly incredible stuff.
i didnt even realize those were puns, i hate puns anyway
@@yessir6427 I don’t think he meant them to be tbh.
If you think horse puns are worth reading you should get of your high horse.
@@enricopallazzo3244 Oh he definitely did haha
You seem tired,”Knight knight”❤🎉
"i have far more violent things on my mind" goes so hard
classiest trash talk out there lmao
That can actually be an incredible movie dialogue.

this comment was so cringe
@@die-wz the pot called the kettle black
Those who normally skip out on the Analysis:- This is one of the best Analysis portions ive ever seen from Danya.
Daniel’s Opponent probably: Ah, a couple games of chess to relax, should be nice 😃
GM Naroblitzky: I have far more violent thoughts on my mind 😈
7:45
Caro players are stoners, confirmed
@@arleyantes9321 You bet.

Top tier shitpost
I laughed out hard
I love it when Danya makes a video that destroys my main line :')
At 1500 I never see anyone play the Fantasy against me. Maybe you're higher ELO than me 🤣
@@worsethanjoerogan8061 yeah i never see the fantasy at 1500 either, but when I do, I close the middle and I get destroyed
Nf6 is your main line??
@@WorldOfDeepThought Yeah I was just about to say lol. I'm 1800 and punish this immediately
@WorldOfDeepThought I play Nf6 to provoke e5. Then I return with Ng8 so my light square bishop can go to f5. I know this is definitely wrong but I'm always afraid to trap my bishop like in the french. So I give up some tempo hoping to get a similar structure to the exchange or advanced variation
Probably the first time I've heard someone say "hold our horses" and actually be talking about horses

I've fallen in love with the Fantasy and I get super hyped with each game we get uploaded.
A lot really happened in this game Probably my favorite one yet Danya
Hi Sensei Danya, thanks for continuing to upload all the time. I hit 1200 bullet and broke 1350 rapid recently. Huge progress the past year and I owe a lot of it to you!
Wow, I'm 1450 rapid, but never got through 1000 even in blitz, bullet is impossible.
Love learning the Fantasy. Always seems to lead to great attacking positions. I had fantastic one in a game after watching these videos but missed the key knockout 😂🤦♂️.
I really like the tip Danya mentioned before about every time a pawn moves it weakens another square. I always look for that now and helps.
wow - that was a great session - jam-packed!!!
Amazing content: these recordings feel like Free masterclasses. GM DN is the man.
My guy you gotta throw us caro mains a bone at this point
Hey! Let the off-beat-repertoire guys have a little fun for once! 🤣🙏
He needs to play the tal variation with Bg5. I have an 80% win rate with that line. Tired of this fantasy garbage
@@johndavidallison7601 sure your winrate is all that matters
@@sbxftr Just an anecdote to show it’s effectiveness. Give it a try. Destroying French/caro players is one of my guilty pleasures.
@@johndavidallison7601 Grandmaster Naroditsky’s recommendation is garbage? Please tell us more 🤣
"I have far more violent thoughts on my mind."
This was so fantastic to watch live.
Really instructive, inspiring me to play the fantasy
It's been a joy watching you discover and embrace your passion for teaching! Your videos have not only made me a better chess player, but your positivity and kindness inspire me to make better content myself! THANK YOUUUUUUU!
Dear Danya, your beautiful analysis videos and thought process has helped me to climb from 900 to 1200 in one month. Thank you💙
Simply can't get enough Naroditsky content, you're doing everyone a much appreciated service. Please keep em coming 🙌
Thanks for all your wonderful videos, get well soon 🙂
I have to wake up in 6 hours but I’m watching this and I regret nothing
Wicked analysis. Subbed love the content.
illuminating lines 🤩
Great analysis as usual, I might actually learn how to play the Fantasy properly now
What he says exactly at the 5 minute mark is something i need to hear every single day
The checkmate in that sample game was sick as heck. WOW
Hungry hungry hippo queen lol
I haven’t lost a game in the fantasy since danya dropped the second fantasy video
Great game, thank you mr. Danya!
Great video as always Daniel.
Thank you.
Kudos for playing as my home airport
8:58 "Should we hold our horses?"
Ba-dumm-tish!
What a violent game. I love it!
Great video! :D
0:40 Daniel starts his game down a rook and a pawn to elo 1605
My thoughts exactly
Carnage. Boa constrictor vs big fat mouse. 'Everyone should see this move' i see it...after you announce it everytime! :)
05:05 You tell me to temper my expectations, but when I see that knight hitting f6 I'm immediately thinking of Spielmann vs Walter.
brilliant stuff
Fantastic content. Is it possible to make a playlist of different openings? It would be super convenient to roam around the old videos of the same openings.
Thanks!
At 8:56 was it a pun intended? 😂haha In my language the knights are literally called horses
The light square bishop trade in the opening is inspiring. I thought the it's the good bishop for white because white's pawn was fixed on the dark square ...
Very proud that I thought of Rf6 during the game ahead of Nf6+! Just looks so nasty.
(Having checked with the computer: I didn't see the follow up lines... Absolutely disgustingly insane attack. Need to spend a few more decades on tactics to calculate that properly 😂)
You have to think of everything in relative terms 💯
A perfect video ☆ hello from Germany 🙂
lmao the Latest Sub's name at the start of the vid
Hold our horses, when delaying a knight move. I'M WHEEZING
great game i literally use the same bishop discovered attack to win a rook in my most recent game!
thanks
Just learning this line!
Danya I think your throat got dried BTW love the content Amazing stuff
46:38 2100-rated queen agression
너무 재밌어요
33:12 without White's Knight on f3 already, the b4 recommendation is completely losing for white. Precisely due to Black's Knight sac on b4 that you specifically said was nothing.
That's a long enough line to where White's Knight on f3 ultimately saves the day, that you definitely should have covered it at this level. Especially explaining why Black's strongest engine move of that Black Knight sac would be the follow-up and absolutely brutal in any other circumstance.
I really wanted to see knight h7 sack at 15:32
I was curious so I checked. And the computers approves ! Everything is winning actually.
You should see the "juanjo sound speed chess music video"
Trust me when I say you'd like this. You are in it.
Danya sounds sick
straight from a black mirror scene ;)
To paraphrase the immortal Olivia Newton-John - "Let's get clinical, clinical. I wanna get clinical...".
if i'm not mistaken, knight takes h7 works at 14:45
It’s equivalent to the move Daniel played.
Great stuff as usual , but again the opponent messes up on his 3rd move with white , my opponents don't
If it's not too much trouble, for future videos would you mind posting the PGN in the video description (with all your analysis moves)? I think that would be super helpful
The teacher explains very well
"Who cares about the center if you can checkmate your opponent in a few moves. The priority has shifted."
19:17 is there a chessable course that has these types of overloading tactics? Most tactics just involve pieces, which seems limited. I'd like something with more gamelike tactics.
Is Danya sick here? His voice sounds off
Are you feeling okay. You sound sick danya
I like the latest sub in this video
22:30
11:48
Let’s get some Bg5 tal variations one time for the hood
You have to think of everything in relative terms
53:24
Danya: no way to stop mate in 2, none!
Stockfish seconds later: Mate in 25
He doesnt say no way to stop mate in 2, he says no way to stop mate.
@@kurosakiichigo7475 he said: "it's checkmate in 2, there's no way to stop mate"
It's implied that it's unavoidable mate in 2. I wrote that comment because it was funny that the engine gave such a long forced mate, in 25.
Thank you for sticking with the Speedrun even though you are feeling sick, when I have a cold I barely have the energy to do anything. I hope you feel better soon!!
Love the video but the sound is not so good. Not the voice itself but the sound is somewhat distorted. Speedy recovery, all the best!
This line is so bad after bf5 stock fish says +2.9
Thinking in terms of squares: identify the mating square
48:40 Qxd4 here and it's still a game
Hey, ive been watching your twitch and youtube for a bit, currently i'm watching at 14:55, i was wondering, you said there were two candidates for the move between the queen and the rook, but i was wondering what if you just go knight to h7? im not a great player, so im just trying to understand a bit more. Is it because it blocks your own pieces from pressuring the king since you are so close to checkmate at this point?
14:00 I found Rf5!! the only move that doesn't win
is there a voice mod?
At 33:26 why is the knight trapped on A4? Don't we have anyway B4 to counterattack the queen and free a spot on B2 for our knight?
Maybe one day you’ll cover the advance variation… maybe one day.
Why did you kill those college students in idaho
Not really that close
Almost pissed my pants laughing
They kept playing Nf6 against the Fantasy.
lmao
I haven't had a chance to analyse yet, isn't Nxh7 good around 15:15 instead of Nf6+?
Yeah, I noticed that move as well. It's a top engine move, but it takes Stockfish 11 on lichess a while to find it (depth 32 is when the engine evaluates it as best). Before depth 31, the engine doesn't like it. It's funny how humans can spot these ideas quicker than some engines.
Yeah I saw that too. Was hoping Danya would go over that move in the analysis. Engine says it’s good tho
@@JonathanMooretufts Well, I guess my casual strength is about depth 32 on Stockfish 11. What can I say?
@@Gretchaninov 😂
25:16 why does it show a white rook in black’s gained material?
hey danya, could you show us how you find games with specific maneuvers o themes on chessbase?
Is there any video for marshall attack .... from you
g.o.t.👏
"Bring all the toys to the nursery party"
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i love you
Was Nxh7 first suggested by chat? Seems like he only saw it after looking at chat.
dont forget the bebsi
Would be nice to link the game in your bio so we could analyze it
a false fork operation, haha
Why is #stablediffusion in the tags? Is it that good of an algorithm booster?
I am wondering the same thing, is he milking this whole controversy now?
At 6:45 why does the display show Danya's opponent is up a rook? That piece was a lightsquared bishop.
it was there from the start of the game.... probably a bug
Makes me think twice as a caro kann player on the black side.
How were you able to search for the rxf7 ? Like how does one even search for games with that with the same motif
Go to bed Daniel!!! Get Fitbit sleep tracker! 😂
