Stopping the entire session to be focused on ONE SINGLE CHATTER and his understanding- is the biggest reason I've seen on why Daniel is the best teacher I have ever seen.
I think you're the only one that can take a GM game and make it interesting for us. You are mindblowingly helpful. Pausing to make sure everyone got the points you''re making and not leave anyone behind is a class act. Discovered you through charlie, and man, you're a fantastic teacher on top of being fun with banter and jabs.
@@sahirde yeah but only one of them is an actual gm, and the others don’t quite go into as much depth as he does and still keel stuff entertaining. Of course, not to take away from them, they’re great creators
Hikaru at the start was like Daniel... Trying to explain logic behind his moves... but than he kept more and more being popular and started to read chat 7/24... in the end he just plays and does little to none explanation... not at Daniel's level at least... We are truly blessed to have a Grandmaster like him teaching us... I cant describe words for this. I hope you see this one day Daniel... We are grateful to you :)
Stopped watching hikaru as much because he legit never talks about the games and his chat can be pretty toxic and annoying/ just a normal popular channel with randoms in chat instead of a real community
I hope you realise how much some of us value content such as this. It's like finding an icy cold drink in the middle of the desert. Finding your channel has been like finding a vending machine. It's also led me to your Twitch account and become a sub.
*Me watching Daniel explaining everything and making it look so easy* "hey, this helped a lot, lets play a game and try to look for good moves" *also me: comes back to youtube 3 minutes later to try to learn how not to lose in 8 moves for an 700 player*
A couple of observations... first of all this was the most educational chess video I have seen in a year and I follow a half dozen GMs and IMs. Why I say this? You explained the long term construct of the positon and when to change your approach towards it. Typically we see positional pressure leading to winning tactics or a blunder allowing tactics that then calls for a positional conversion. This video was higher level complexity and thus that much more educational. Secondly you noted that the attainment of your original plan would not suffice to convert. Many of us would have won the pawn and then had an unsatisfying draw. You showed the position could transform to more so re-set our thinking. Again many teachers showcase one single plan carried to fruition and I am left wondering how to get to 2300 never mind play a GM. You showed a sequence of plans... the game as an evolution. You are a wonderful, and considerate teacher. Thank you.
Ben Finegold is surely, surely very happy about this game. I mean, c4 which is explosive, knife f5, and always sac the exchange. AND never play f6. No wonder he lost.
having a chess teacher who of course knows how to teach but also does it in a way thats enjoyable to listen to is SO helpful. best chess youtuber out there right now
I look forward to your vids more than anyone else I watch on TH-cam. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge. You alone have helped me so much with my tactical eye and positional understanding
Firstly, a great video. Your analysis is always a real treat. Secondly, I'd love to see more content on this youtube channel. Perhaps an analysis of your own games or games from current events.
These games are amazing. Not only from the point of view of the amazing ideas that Daniel has but the fact that he’s also playing against a GM and that a GMs position can fall so quickly and devastatingly from a few minor weaknesses. It’s really amazing.
@@omnipresentsnowflake4698 Being good (or in Daniel's case, a grandmaster) at chess does mean you're smart; it just doesn't make you smart in every way. Pattern recognition, memorization, and critical thinking/deductive reasoning skills are all forms of intelligence
“The elitist gate keeper that I am” is actually the most interesting thing you said, from my perspective, this entire video. Amazing chess channel! But I’d love to chat with you about other topics too!
your titles are straightforward and non-clickbaity (although i appreciate a good clickbait), your thumbnails are just the right amounts of flashy and direct, and your commentary is extremely, extremely instructive; what a down-to-earth, humble, yet clearly incredibly talented person. i appreciate your content so much :) you are really one of the best teachers in any subject that ive ever seen, hands down (as many others have mentioned) thanks for being awesome ily
This was wonderful! I think I would have been capable of getting the sort of position before Nc3 but then not capitalizing (im around 1800 USCF). It was very instructive how when you knew you were better, you DEMANDED more from the position than a simply better endgame. Thanks for posting!
Thank you so much for these videos, I can't really follow your streams anymore as I do have a job now. But I still enjoy watching these videos just as much.
Phenomenal game. As you said its a combo of amazing positional and sacrificial game. Love these. Need to get Agadmator to do the video on this game. Definitely worth it.
Advice for future streams/videos: frame your video feed with the top of your head almost touching the top of the frame. It's much more visibly pleasing to have the frame be your face than half of it be an empty wall. Great commentary as always!
I was really happy to find Rxe6 without hesitation :D although I didn't understand why it was good quite as deeply as you explained, it felt right to me
You are a really good teacher. I am beginner and after watching your videos I beat my dad for the first time. I realized I was making random moves at first. You taught me to think logically.
Hey Daniel, I love that you are teaching people chess is an understandable and digestible way! I'm only rated 1300, but I feel that after watching your videos I'm seeing more on the board than I used to. I do not think that I'll ever be close to guys like you but I'm having a lot of fun and that's what matters to me. Thank you!
Great game Daniel. I just wanted to say thank you, if it wasn't for you and Charlie I wouldn't have got back into chess for the first time in 18 years. Still getting some of the rust off but I hope to be good enough to play you one day :)
Would you play 2.Nc3 against any black opening, or just against 1....d5? I ask because the London and the Jobava London are the only d4 openings I know anything about, and I'm curious how to decide between 2. Nc3 and 2.c3 Thanks again for a wonderfully-explained video!
Hey Daniel, you're Stafford video was really helpful. Would you please make a video on how to deal with and refute some weird and weak openings like Fried-Fox, Bongcloud and the f6 Englund gambit? I lost around 100 rating points on Lichess today just trying to punish my opponent who survived and when my attack didn't go the way it should he was much better in the endgame. Especially I really feel bullied and humiliated after losing several games against f3 Kf2 and some nonsense pawn push. I mean, seriously you can't play like that and shouldn't get away with it. I feel like it's a way to show that 'I can play the worst opening ever and still win coz I'm much stronger'. There's no fun in bullying someone weaker than you.
Premature attacks tend to not work. Against people who play dubious moves, just be extra solid and let them self destruct. Don't try to punish their weird moves right away, let them punish themselves. Improve your position, develop all pieces to good squares, get everything more or less active, and ask opponent "now what?". You should be able to literally push pawns against Bongcloud. Grab the center, put knights behind pawns, steamroll the opponent. And what in the world is Fried Fox??
Hearing your explanations of chess makes me feel like I'm significantly better at the game than I am.
Facts. Me and my 740 rating feel like big brain players
It makes me feel worse
This is true
What’s your rating
Same

Daniel you're literally the best chess teacher. Keep the vids coming. Would love to see a Blitz battle against Vidit Gujrathi.
Imo Hikaru opened up the chess streams to more mainstream audience's
Hikaru explains "Take take take take take take take take and take ."

6:46 no one expects c4, quite an explosive move
I see what you did there
@@apotato4873 should've been. "i C what you did there"
22:54 "it's not my best game ever". video title: my best game of chess
@Beta Simp hahahahaha
We can all agree the title drew more attention to us. He kinda clickbaited us, but he did say it’s his best positional game in a while.
"well, not a friend of mine, but we're on good terms" lololol
"scholar's mate him on the queenside" that sounds like something I've heard from Aman
The first ever speedrun of chess
Obviously he learned it from IM Charlie

You run these lessons like I imagine Socrates with his students back in the day.
Love your style, content, delivery and enthusiasm - it’s like listening to one of your mates down the pub..
Daniel you're literally the best chess teacher. Keep the vids coming. Would love to see a Blitz battle against Vidit Gujrathi.
Yup, liked their commentary together.
But didn't they play a match some time ago? IIRC, Vidit won the blitz section and got steamrolled in the bullet.
I kid you not, I was about to comment the same thing, 5 months later.
I look forward to your vids more than anyone else I watch on TH-cam. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge. You alone have helped me so much with my tactical eye and positional understanding
As long as you're putting out videos I am gonna watch Mr Daniel "The Prophet" Naroditsky
You forgot the GM Grandmaster. It’s Mr. GM Grandmaster Daniel “The Prophet” Naroditsky.
I've just caught on the chess-bug and your videos are by far the most educational!
I really like your style of explaining things.
Everything beautifully and clearly explained as always.
Really informative. Keep them coming.

Great video as always danya! Incredible analysis and explanation.
Who else wants Daniel to play Among Us with Charlie? Daniel would be the smartest guy there, I’d love to watch that.

@@freshc9240 He is trying to say that it doesn't make him the smartest one in the group just based off of his chess prowess.
Absolutely
The way you talk about the game makes me more eager to learn more from you, thank you!
This is so beautiful. Thank you Danya!
This guy is soo good and so patient .. awesome
Brilliant demonstration of exchange sacrifice!

Very instructive, thanks!
Haven't made it to a stream in a long while, but I'm glad to see more TH-cam content. Thanks Daniel!
Thank you I have learned new Idea in this opening. Keep safe coach and more power!

I’ve missed your Tuesday lectures at the Charlotte Chess Center so I’m so glad I found your YT channel!
All this stuff makes so much sense. I just have to remember to do it in my own games
Always have my full attention for your videos Daniel, stop making such great content, it keeps me from my uni work
Thank you so much for these videos, I can't really follow your streams anymore as I do have a job now. But I still enjoy watching these videos just as much.
Amazing game super instructive.... Thanks for sharing.
Dude I just picked up chess again after years from not playing and you are the best coach/TH-camr out there for chess. NO DOUBT
Amazing game. Very inspiring. Thanks for sharing.
Phenomenal game. As you said its a combo of amazing positional and sacrificial game. Love these. Need to get Agadmator to do the video on this game. Definitely worth it.
You explain it so perfectly(:
stunning idea. great game
I really enjoyed this, thank you! :)
Thank you Daniel...great game!
Your explanations are crystal clear. You deserve a million subs sir!
Wow I saw the first Exchange sac as a possibility but was blown away by the second. Good stuff
Such a great game from you. I love that you don't hesitate to call your own idea brilliant if that's true.
That Jobava London looks like it would be good in blitz, lots of opening traps along the same lines as the stafford gambit, without the gambit
Advice for future streams/videos: frame your video feed with the top of your head almost touching the top of the frame. It's much more visibly pleasing to have the frame be your face than half of it be an empty wall. Great commentary as always!
gm: makes a mistake
daniel: I'm going to end this man's whole career
Hi! I'm new to the channel and I am already a fan of how honest your videos seem. Very instructional and very welcoming! Had to drop a sub for that
not sure if this game was ever covered on agadmator's channel, but it should be. love when gm's break down their moves to us mortals
You are such a good teacher!
Bro you teach chess like no one else can. Never change Daniel.
I was really happy to find Rxe6 without hesitation :D although I didn't understand why it was good quite as deeply as you explained, it felt right to me
Awesome vids brotha!
Brilliant video
Brilliant game, Danya!
Love you videos mate 🙂
damn, looking good as always Danya!
Fantastic game
Beautiful. Not sure I have seen two exchange sacrifices in one game before and correct! Wauw.
You are a good listener and a very good teacher ... Respects from India.
That moment, when you get sacrificed so hard, that you have to sacrifice back
thats a beautiful game
that game just demonstrates an unbelievably deep understanding of chess... gg yo
Very trivial stuff
Thanks for the vids
Great Game!
You are a really good teacher. I am beginner and after watching your videos I beat my dad for the first time. I realized I was making random moves at first. You taught me to think logically.

really good

Great game Daniel. I just wanted to say thank you, if it wasn't for you and Charlie I wouldn't have got back into chess for the first time in 18 years. Still getting some of the rust off but I hope to be good enough to play you one day :)
Who's charlie?
Already saw that video on chess.com.Great yo see it again un TH-cam
brilliant
that was awesome 👏
Danya's Immortal 🔥🔥
The entire chat tries tries to look genius by reading the pgn to answer every question ;)
bruh, at this level the players are playing subconsciously, they've just synthesized so much latent information
I call it Rapport-Jobava London :D He deserves to be mentioned too!
Would you play 2.Nc3 against any black opening, or just against 1....d5?
I ask because the London and the Jobava London are the only d4 openings I know anything about, and I'm curious how to decide between 2. Nc3 and 2.c3

I only know his channel thru Levy (GothamChess) and I am learning so much. I agree that he is a great teacher
Perfectly explained and making chess interesting even to a 850 rated plsyer
lol 'well not a friend of mine'
You are really one of the best ❤👌
Really easy to understand better how to move.
Ends the game with a fork on 2 pawns
