I think danya has the best entertainment and knowledge combo, like some channels do more clickbaity and "entertaining" stuff and some do more instructional and in depth content but danya makes the best content that is both at the same time not to mention the fact he has both qualities in spades
I played the Kings Indian defense last night after watching Danya. I felt like a boss, by the middle game I was up a piece and a pawn, only to fail to convert the end game and blundered everything. Felt bad, man.
Yeah puzzles would be best. After hearing Danya mention hanging pieces so much I did puzzles for it and man you should totally do hanging pieces puzzles bc i completed destroyed my next opponent after that
As a beginner, blundering pieces is a big factor in what keeps your rating number low. You could be 1200, for example, but hanging pieces bring you down to 1000.
Daniel, thank you so much for all the time and energy you put into your teaching. Chess is a game that both exilirates and berates me and the berating has become less so since I have been following your lessons. God Bless!
Danya will you make another speedrun after this one? I know it's a lot to ask but I'm sure most of the people following you will agree with me, this has been really helpful and even tho I like trying to follow grandmaster level games, looking at you at this rating is like watching someone who plays the same game I'm playing
A dream came true. Mini Lessons from a super grandmaster, for free. (he gets paid by TH-cam, but we feel it like free). Shows that more breakthroughs like these are going to come making life easier for everybody allowing years of shortcuts.
it would be cool if you put the speed run games into a course on chessable when this is all over so we can play along and re-live it :) love these videos
Hi Danya, great video as always. In the future, could you talk a bit about the mental and physical preparation that it takes to participate in a top level chess tournament? How do you get yourself out of a slump when you feel like you're not playing good chess? Thanks!
Anyone else confused why at 18:45 you don't move your rook to the back rank? Other rook takes, you take with your rook, and then he has to block with his queen or knight. But knight only prolongues it, so eventually he has to block with his queen. Isn't that way more destructive than what Daniel ended up playing?
Surely at 18:45 he could have played Queen to G7 as his next move for checkmate. Am I missing something or did he make a meal out of finishing this game.
It was black to play, who gave a check with Qd4, then the king had to move and black played F5, making his queen support the G7 pawn, preventing the mate in 1
At one point I was 800, after watching Danya vids,, I was successful to up my rating up to 1,200 Then, I start to feel not enjoying playing chess because this "pressure" to always increase the rating... After that, I decided to drop my rating 500 and playing only for fun (I should've known this in the first place as I'm type of person who always play NBA 2K in "rookie" mode haha) And watch Danya vids also for fun only, not for learning haha
Levy - makes you angry just to look at him and see his toxic character. Hikaru - makes you annoyed just to listen to his voice, especially when he's also chewing his dinner in your face. Agadmator - every vid is exactly the same, though completely inoffensive. Danya - Finally some actual content!
Daniel: we're over 2000 now might lose anytime
Also Daniel: let's see if we can sac the queen and the rook
literally trying to look for checkmate with just pawns
Danya: Actually this doesn't win the pawn
Me: *not even seeing the idea that wins the pawn*
Me: not even seeing which pawn
@@Arominit hahaha
Nxc6 I'm guessing
I think he meant to say bishop? 30:21
I want this series to never end
Me too
Same.
Then he'll have to get infinite rating
İll watch again when it ends
Yeeeeeeesssss!
Nothing quite like sitting back and watching danya take apart people 3x your rating like its nothing
He can go even FURTHER BEYOND !!!!

how danya just remembers these past games he played and pulls it up instantly is mind boggling.
The section on working backwards to find effective prophylaxis is super instructive. Amazing stuff.
Yes! that was like a whole course on its own that was so good
Its funny how i can find the moves he considers best when watching the video, and then also simultaneously blunder my queen three times in one day.

Oooooh yes. My coffee is ready, my breakfast is in front of me and Daniel uploaded another speedrun video. perfect morning!!
6:46 seems like c3 is the move for white. Although Danya did say there were many ways to win here.
oh wow c3 is a good find
What's the idea of c3? The series is way out of my rating range by now :)
@@DickJokesGalore blocks queens defense of g7
That's pretty
Daniel, thank you so much for all the time and energy you put into your teaching. Chess is a game that both exilirates and berates me and the berating has become less so since I have been following your lessons. God Bless!
That concept to do with prophylaxis was awesome. I'm definitely going to apply it in my own games. Thanks Daniel!
I'm doing a speedrun too but mines back to 300 elo
Really lovely idea with retroactive thinking. These speed runs are getting better and better, filled with great ideas. Cheers.
damn that rook a to c1 move it so satisfyingly solid. maybe someday ill be able to think that far ahead
My favorite speedrun series by far! Thank you Danya!
I have learned so much with this speedrun!! Please Daniel, do it all over again when you finish, it´s really good!!
Its 8 am here. Waking up to this is such a good feeling.
At this point, I wake up every morning and immediately grab my phone to watch this speed run.

Nice rating danya
Thank you daniel for this series really helped me improve my chess :)
My rating is also the same as current year if we went back in time hundreds of years.
my rating is over a thousand years ago :(
My rating is the year of the Fall of Constantinople to Muslims hands
My rating is The Stone Age
25:01 is absolute gold.
Even though naro is a bit weaker than hikaru, his instructions are on another level.
you mean you don't find hikaru going takes takes takes takes takes takes takes takes takes takes and drawing 37 arrows helpful?
Happy 2021 Danya!
Plot twist: It's the viewers of Daniel's stream who are feeding him the super moves that crush his opponents.
"wait lemme think"
....seconds later, "oooooh theres a very cool move"
when Danya said "you might be rated 1000", I felt that
that way of thinking he described at the end is sooo nice
Daniel this series really blew up
:)
This is so fricking instructive
Day 3 of reminding Sensei Danya that his Wonderful Daily Speedrun Uploads are appreciated! Thank you, Danya 💕!

ahh nvmnd. He can first block with his knight. He doesn't need to take the rook first.
Love you Danya. Your videos are straight fucking fire.

I would love to see some D4 openings as well.
Great video by the way 👏. Like always
Great series
Danya “let me do some professional trolling”Naroditsky
This series is soo good, I think I'll restart it after all finished.
the 2020 just ended and video starts with Danya getting out of 2020 rating
6:59 pawn to c3 doesn't work?
8:30 OH NO MY QUEEN declined
rewatching this series whenever it ends.
Let's gooooo new vid
6:49 what a bout white pawn C3? I think it wims the game even quicker
Thank you sensei...
Couldn't he have won the rook and the queen with the back rank threat at 18:47 ?
26:00 when you see the move a now 2500 played, although for the wrong reason.
nice rating
f3 at 7:17 wouldve been sick
interesting way to think with the worst case for prophylaxis, nice
27:03
Why not Qg6?
Qg6 Nxd5 Nxg7 black is completely lost
Why would black play Nxd5? It's blundering a knight, no?
Ruy Lopez: 0:22
Sometimes I watch these and feel like I am watching Dora The Explorer.
5:18
"What's the move?"
Me - "DOUBLE IT UP!!! DOUBLE IT UPPPP!!!
Need more pogchamps content, please!
2021, nice
Yessirrrrr
At one point I was 800, after watching Danya vids,, I was successful to up my rating up to 1,200
Then, I start to feel not enjoying playing chess because this "pressure" to always increase the rating...
After that, I decided to drop my rating 500 and playing only for fun (I should've known this in the first place as I'm type of person who always play NBA 2K in "rookie" mode haha)
And watch Danya vids also for fun only, not for learning haha
Chess Speedrun 2021 . . . in the year 2021.
I hope to play the prophet one day
Titled 2021 not 2020 just out of spite
Does this count as a speedrun? Seems like he’s really taking his time
Reciprocal Thinking
I'm 1800 blitz on chess.com. What is your rating? Great vid
Last time I checked he is 3002 on blitz
Awesome
18:49 wouldnt rook c8 here be way better or am I missing something
blacks queen defends g7
@@rickdelathickbugenhagen9395 it still ends up being a queen versus knight which seems better than what he ended up with
@@ryangarvey8207 White can't go to rook c8 at that timeline.
Nf8
@@dfrumkin it doesnt fully work and white ends with 2 rooks against a knight so the position is pretty close to the other one. equalish I guess
we don't deserve danya
28:21 example of high level prophylaxis
did he actually lose or draw any games until now?
not that I recall
Only one game?
6:39
cant wait to get my ears blown out by notifications because I have to jack my audio up just to barely hear you
WHY IS THE SOUND SO LOW
Professional Trolling lol
Well, now that Lichess is restarting, guess I'll watch instead of play chess.
What?
Chess TH-camr:
Danya - Best instructional speedrun
Levy - Best chess lecturer
Agadmator - Best recap
Hikaru - Meme
Levy - makes you angry just to look at him and see his toxic character.
Hikaru - makes you annoyed just to listen to his voice, especially when he's also chewing his dinner in your face.
Agadmator - every vid is exactly the same, though completely inoffensive.
Danya - Finally some actual content!
Why only 1 game
hello.
Just one game :'(
