This would be the perfect channel for the Khan Academy of Chess, just because you make everything so clear!! Thank you Danya, it's been a great journey.
Above and beyond chess, this series made my days brighter and was a strange source of meditative comfort and familiarity. Thank you for being one in a constellation of people that make my world better.
I love how Danya actually cares and wants to improve the skill of his viewers :) Of course other content creators do care for the fans but in my opinion, as of right now Danya is probably one of the best TH-camrs for improving and learning more about chess.
I honestly don’t think most others actually care. They just want the views. I don’t wanna name the creators but there is a reason why most of their followers are under 1000 despite following them for so long, cuz it’s entertainment focused more than educational.
@@landon8952 there are some smaller channels that are really good but in terms of big ones, St. Louis and Chessbase India have really good stuff. They are a bit more advanced though.
@@saiashwin26 I don't think it's fair to assume someone is purely making decisions around viewer count, just because they make content focused on entertainment over education. Both are perfectly valid themes in their own right
I absolutely love your idea to be the khan academy of chess. Your skill as an educator is outstanding. I think a helpful resource may be to create playlists from the speed run by opening. So like all the caro-kann episodes in one place. And because you rotated through them so evenly, you could watch the Caro at 800, 1200, 1400, etc. back to back to back and really see the progression in the complexity of the opening. Seems very Khan Academy-esque to organize it thay way.
Hey Daniel, just want to send an appreciation post on the creation of this series. I started taking chess seriously in these past months and I’ve recommended your videos to all my friends. You have such a way of analyzing and explaining ideas and moves. I’m one of many of your TH-cam students that get a kick of responding to your questions when you ask where the next piece should go and feeling the satisfaction of getting it right. You’re the man! I hope you get to a million subs one day!
I've learnt much more from you than any other chess content creator (including the 2 big ones), you are a great teacher which helps understanding some concepts for beginners and your non-bullshit approach is also somewhat entertaining. You fully deserve 1M subs.
Thank you for this series Danya. I watched every single video religiously. I was new to chess when I watched many months ago and now feel like a dragon. 🐉 The Naroditsky School of Chess lives on.
Daniel we need another speedrun. We learn so much from every episode. I’ve gone up hundreds of rating points (from the beginner level to intermediate) through your videos. Thank you
Thanks for the speedrun Danya, its been awesome watching you climb the rating ladder. Myself along with many others I'm sure have learnt tons from your videos so thank you so much.
Huge respect for refraining from clickbait stuff. I try to keep my TH-cam organized with a dozen or so accounts for different viewing topics, chess being one of them. I appreciate being able to accurately evaluate the contents of a video from it's title and thumbnail. I remain optimistic that your strategy of creating an ultimate reference for chess on TH-cam will create lots of recurring views.
You will influence a generation of players. And we will come back to watch the videos again and again for as long as the content is kept online. Congrats and looking forward for you to have a millions subs.
Thank you for the speedrun and the quality content. Everyday before I go to sleep I can just watch a thrilling video where I learn and have fun. Thank you Danya!
This is the best chess learning channel I found so far (~2 years), and more so Danya has a great personality and his teaching style is nothing less than amazing. The paradox is I found abut him from Levy's channel which I can't watch since.
You have a great way of explaining ideas and are a great person! Thank you for this precious content. I personally hope there will be another speedrun, since there is always so much to learn from a game and from you, but I'll of course enjoy every other content you'll create. Thank you!
I am so happy you made this series. This is my favourite one by far! The way you talk us through the games is really educational, and you show us that with simple ideas you can play very well and win tough games. Here are a couple of thoughts about your vids: - Thank you thank you thank you for talking in a language that I can understand. I'm not talking about english, I'm talking about not-super-duper-high-level-chess-speak. It makes it much more enjoyable when you simplify so I can follow along. - The emphasis you put on openings and positional ideas really made me rethink how I should approach certain positions, how instead of rushing into an idea that may not work with my position collapsing, I should take it slow and notice when my opponent has to opportunity to push certain ideas of his own. - On the technical side, sometimes it sounds like you're hitting your mic, and though it's not bad enough to click away it certainly needs addressing - As for the end of the series, I'm sad it's ending but I'm glad you're working towards making your channel a chess education hub. Every end is a new beginning! Thank you a ton!
Thanks for the great series! Though my chess result hasn't improved much, but my thought process and chess understanding definitely have Wish you the best reaching your 1M sub goal!
What a journey, the speedrun was an AMAZING content for youtube, I was waiting for a new video daily, so thank you so much for the effort you make in creating quality contents! Greetings from Italy!
This series were amazing. Your channel is probably the best chess channel out there. Regarding new content, as a 1000 player, I would really like a few games where you’d always methodically go through all the moves you dismissed. Eg.: I look at all my pawns, but due to X and Y I don’t see a reason to consider pawn movements, I don’t want to move the knight in b1 due to Z, I don’t want to move the bishop next to it because of Z’ and so on. I feel like being able to focus on the right things is very important. After you say which piece to move I can usually follow, but how do you get there? I don’t know how to do that and not being super boring, but it’s something to think about maybe.
Thank you very much, I feel honored to have consumed this much of your educating content. I tuned in when you were at 1250 with rating, and though I never saw a Spanish game from you (expect the bishop sac variation) which is my favorite opening, I still learned so, so much. I hope your future speedruns will bring you even more subscribers, audience and revenue and that you continue to make this great and structured content. Kind regards and take care, Daniel.
I have enjoyed every video you have made in the speedrun. Very clearly explained, on every level. You have done something quite amazing Daniel. Sad it ends, but if you ever restart count on me to watch again.
Thank you for all of your hard work during this endeavor. I hope I speak for everyone trying to improve, that this has been super helpful and looking forward to more educational content in the future.
I would love for this series to keep on continuing. I think it would be very instructional to hear how you play against stronger players, even if you struggle against them
Thank you so much for doing both of these speedruns! Watching you teach charlie is what got me into chess, and these speedruns really helped improve my play! Can't wait to see what other content you make!
Hi Daniel, I started watching your videos around a month ago -- in that short amount of time I've watched many of your speed run videos and I've progressed from 1614 (October 2nd) -> 1800(November 18th) rapid in just over a month. You are a gifted teacher and you offer so much insight to players around my level. Thanks so much!
Goodluck Danya, this channel is amazing already with lots of instructive stuff. It's kinda underrated though. You're a great teacher. Really excited to see the new vast content coming up in the future.
This is hands down the best free content around. Really thankful for all the conceptual ideas instead of just another book line preacher. Actuay had substance, an Daniel is great with the perfect mix of down to earth and no nonsense. Thank you Daniel
Long time Gotham chess sub here but I have to admit that this been the most education chess content on TH-cam and it’s not even close. Keep it up Danya! More subs to come and for us (hopefully) more elo to come.
Hi Daniel, first i want to thank you a lot for this amazing content. Imho you shouldn't stop making speedruns videos. We learn so much from a whole game, ideas for the opening, the middlegame and the endgame with you're thought process, very pedagogic and clear, i love it so much and wait for every video like a chrismas present. I've been watching chess contents all year since the queen gambit got me into chess and this type of videos is the best imo. Levy had a "how to win at chess" serie that was great but he doesn't do it anymore, blitzstream for french people has a pedagogic game serie that is great too. But you're speedrun series are the best, highest level of chess combined with highest level of clarity is just the greatest. As a london player a speedrun with more D4 games would be greatly appreciated. An opening serie could be great too with tricky ideas etc. Thanks again for everything Daniel, wish you the best.
Your explanatory ability along the whole phases of the game is unmatched by the rest of youtubers I follow. I was happy everytime youtube proposed another video of your speed run and afterwards i was eager to aply your teachings in my games. Cheers
Thanks for these videos Daniel, i have learn a lot from them and my chess skill improved, I'm sure the channel will keep on growing, because of great content such as this. Keep it up!
Danya thank you for this speedrun. It’s like your favourite tv series coming to a end. Nothing on youtube comes close to teaching good chess like this series. You are a wonderful teacher and may you get the success and recognition you deserve.
Excellent speed run Danya! Super instructives compared to other channels. We learn a lot and there is great interaction and explaination on the moves. No click bait, just real meat for the chess players. Well done!
Thank you Danya for teaching me chess and improving my rating by at least 500-600 points. This is the end of an era but the beginning of new one. I’m really look forward to your future videos!
Congratulations Danya! You are THE man! Love watching the early episodes as I am ranked somewhere between 600-1200 depending on time controls, so thank you for sharing your knowledge.
i've been watching since episode one and i'm sad to see the series end but i've learned so much. i can't wait to see what other ideas danya has in store for content, i will always be here supporting and watching. keep up the good work danya!
Thank you 🙏🏼 that was a great journey, I learned a lot new concepts which improved my play. I had a huge problem with recognising a moment to attack and your advices helped me a lot: not to rush with attack, develop pieces on good squares, making patient moves, defending from opponents ideas. This sounds really simple and it is written in all chess books but being able to follow your thought process was very instructive.
Thanks Danya! You're the best teacher because you make everything understandable as opposed to others who just want to impress us so they explain way too fast and not concretely.
A speedrun and overall channel content is phenomenal. There is - and I hope will be - a lot to explore and to go back to after some time. That's quality work and great personality (sorry for this vaseline, I had to!). You deserve 1Msubs like no other Daniel. All the best Mr. Naroditsky and thank you sir.
Hey Daniel, Just wanted to say thanks for doing the speedrun series. Watching your speedruns is how I learned to play chess; I’ve improved from a 400 rating to over 1300. More importantly you introduced me to a lifelong passion! Working to make it into the 2000s one day. Thanks for helping me start my journey!
I can't wait for your opening videos. I hope you'd take them in a new direction compared to what already exists out there. I would love to see you combine real-time games in the learning process, and going depth-first with the variations rather than breadth-first which many other content creators tend to do. The best way to learn is to take in information in small bites and have fun in the process! Your speed run videos achieve exactly that and that's why I love them so much!
Congrats on a great Chess Speedrun course! I hope you felt it was as much as a success as I did -- in providing a great resource to improve at this incredible game!
Hi Danya. I just want to say thank you for everything you've done so far. I've learned so much from you and realized my play style from watching these videos.
It's been a pleasure watching your Speedrun videos, I haven't missed 1 since you started releasing them. I'm sad to see it go but I'm sure whatever you do next will be just as great! Thanks Danya!
The best chess youtuber if you really want to improve your chess. Love every video, so much information that I have to watch multiple times. I believe in you Danya!
Daniel, I would like to thank you for your videos. Your patience and ability to teach are impressive. The way you explain how to better understand the game and teach has helped me to improve a lot. Please continue with the great work!
Thank you Daniel for this epic Speedrun. It was a pleasure to watch them all. Every morning I am used to open TH-cam hoping a new Speedrun video is out. Please start another one perhaps with a slightly different flavour.
I think if he reaches 1 million then we can surely as chess has become popular, because there might be other chess related chess with higher sub count but many of them are entertainment focused than educational.
Your popularity is growing Daniel, and you're pumping out some of the most concise and deployable opening and gameplay strategies. I know you'll reach a million someday.
Thank you, Danya. I look up to you because I feel like you are passionate about teaching chess and helping people instead of being in it for money. This is my favorite chess channel. This was a wonderful speedrun; I learned a lot.
Thank you so much for your content! Congrats on the undefeated completion of this speedrun.👏🏻 I'd love to see you do some TH-cam specific game analyses that illustrate different strategies and tactics. You could even stick with your non click bait titling convention and call the series the "Illustrative Game Analyses"😉🤣. For us Twitch folks, I'd also love to see you play some 10 or 15 minute games against other high rated players followed by an in depth analysis/Q&A session. The most riveting/entertaininh game of the Speedrun was the recent one in which you had to fight tooth and nail for a positive outcome. Watching and learning from you playing games that challenge even you would be both wildy entertaining and instructive. Hell, a series in which you invite other high rated chess Twitch steamers to play you then you both commentate on the game would be cool, unique and instructive/entertaining. Collaborations would be be a good way to reach more potential subs. You definitely deserve more subs, that's for sure. You're the best instructor/player out there by a mile. Oh, and WHIIDIA (What happens if I do it anyway) is now in my acronym lexicon. 😉 Looking forward to more of your content!👍🏻
Loved the whole speed run series. Watched all the episodes. Hope you will make videos live explaining your play against title players. Maybe not this as detailed as this as you would need to focus more on the match but as much as you can.
Thanks danya for these videos. Pretty sure these alone have helped me gain hundreds of points. Currently I'm almost 1800 in lichess and your videos always help me improve
Please do not stop producing content. This is by far the best chess teacher I've ever listened to. I'm a horrible player and I've actually learned so much from "the prophet"
This would be the perfect channel for the Khan Academy of Chess, just because you make everything so clear!! Thank you Danya, it's been a great journey.
I second this
I, for one, welcome Danya Academy.
Haha sal khan! The man who made me obsessed with calculus!
Yeah Danya is the man
Caro kann academy
Above and beyond chess, this series made my days brighter and was a strange source of meditative comfort and familiarity. Thank you for being one in a constellation of people that make my world better.

I think if he reaches 1 million then we can surely as chess has become popular, because there might be other chess related chess with higher sub count but many of them are entertainment focused than educational.
Your popularity is growing Daniel, and you're pumping out some of the most concise and deployable opening and gameplay strategies. I know you'll reach a million someday.
Thank you, Danya. I look up to you because I feel like you are passionate about teaching chess and helping people instead of being in it for money. This is my favorite chess channel. This was a wonderful speedrun; I learned a lot.
Thank you Danya :)
I've watched every single video of this series
Can't wait for what's next!
The best chess series! Thanks! I’m sure i’ll watch again down the line.
Thank you for an amazing series! Look forward to future content!
Thank you so much for your content! Congrats on the undefeated completion of this speedrun.👏🏻
I'd love to see you do some TH-cam specific game analyses that illustrate different strategies and tactics. You could even stick with your non click bait titling convention and call the series the "Illustrative Game Analyses"😉🤣.
For us Twitch folks, I'd also love to see you play some 10 or 15 minute games against other high rated players followed by an in depth analysis/Q&A session. The most riveting/entertaininh game of the Speedrun was the recent one in which you had to fight tooth and nail for a positive outcome. Watching and learning from you playing games that challenge even you would be both wildy entertaining and instructive. Hell, a series in which you invite other high rated chess Twitch steamers to play you then you both commentate on the game would be cool, unique and instructive/entertaining. Collaborations would be be a good way to reach more potential subs. You definitely deserve more subs, that's for sure. You're the best instructor/player out there by a mile.
Oh, and WHIIDIA (What happens if I do it anyway) is now in my acronym lexicon. 😉
Looking forward to more of your content!👍🏻
Loved the whole speed run series. Watched all the episodes. Hope you will make videos live explaining your play against title players. Maybe not this as detailed as this as you would need to focus more on the match but as much as you can.
This Chess Speedrun taught me a lot, thanks for your effort of teaching people!
thanks Daniel for the speedrun ! your videos are highly appreciated !
Great series Danya easily one of the best teachers on TH-cam and thanks for all the work you do for us
Thank you so much for this speedrun! Beautiful last game to cap the series off with! I cannot wait for your new series!
Thanks danya for these videos. Pretty sure these alone have helped me gain hundreds of points. Currently I'm almost 1800 in lichess and your videos always help me improve
Danya, thanks for this speedrun! I learned a lot and had many hours of entertainment. Looking forward to the next episode!
A fantastic speedrun- thanks Danya - loved it. Good luck with the next idea.
Standing ovation. Danya has given us all a true gift with this series
Please do not stop producing content. This is by far the best chess teacher I've ever listened to. I'm a horrible player and I've actually learned so much from "the prophet"
We gonna miss these. The longer time limit speed run is such a fantastic way to learn chess and freaking entertaining too!!
Danya, you deserve 10 million subscribers. Thank you for all you've done for the chess community!
