Danya's explanation is out of this world. His explanation of why the position is good or bad is instructive and easy to understand. Really appreciate it for making this content for free.
This is legitimately one of the most beautiful games of the speed run… wow
As a 1800 player who wishes to become a 2000 and beyond in the not too distant future, I really need to see games like this. In contrast to the last game that just makes me think that I will never be 2000.
Also I play the Alapin so I LOVE this video and all of your other Alapin videos.
This is what happens when he is playing actual 2000s and not 2000s with a help of GM stockfish on every other move.
As a 2000 rated player, some of the games Danya has can make a 2000 rated player seem much better then they actually are!
@@jonamy5001 That’s what I was hoping
hey I'm also 1800 hoping it get 2000 and I felt the same way but it turns out the dude was cheating
Same
😳 Holy shit,
He went into Super GM mode on move 4.
I finally figured out the difference between Queenless Middlegame and Endgame. This felt like a queenless middlegame for multiple reasons but it boils down to one distinctive factor: the main goal wasn't to promote a pawn.
Inverted and generalised: you're in the endgame once the most reasonable game plan is to promote a pawn. (Not a perfect definition, but serviceable.)
Of course the distinction is purely academic and calling all positions with no queens on the board an endgame is fine, I guess. The nittiest of pickers, the purest of the pure, might argue that this game also had a queenless openinf for a little bit. :shrug:
Very good definition for solving this philosophical problem!
Maybe a problem with this definition are endgames in that you try to mate your opponent? Or Queen vs Rook endgame? But the definition with queenless is not good because in many endgames you have a Queen. I thought myself too define an endgame when you have max. two types of pieces (except King and pawns)
I agree to an extent. Also, when queens are off the board then asking whether the king should march towards the center or is it better to keep the king safe far away from the center despite the fact that queens are off the board matters.
@@student99bg With that logic Shorts King walk to mate Timman was an endgame.
this is absolutely one of my favorite videos in the series. seeing the reality of positional destruction really helps me learn to be more adventurous with my attack
10:40 I call it the Pope! The bishop steps out of the house and greets his subjects.
Muchas gracias por el video, me gustó mucho. Lo voy a compartir con mi hijo que juega la Siciliana Alapin. Fuerte abrazo de Argentina
As you watch Daniel's games, you start noticing that opponents don't get a chance to attack but mostly defend their side. It's fascinating to see that one-sided gameplay.
It feels like better players get more turns. They develop quicker. They attack faster. Before you know it they’re running you off the board. I think it comes down to an awareness of tempi. Both using that against their opponents and not falling into it themselves. It’s something that isn’t really covered that much when folk are learning the fundamentals.
@@thejames666 Because it's an incredibly abstract concept to explain. Developing your pieces, protecting your king is easy to demonstrate, but making every move with a purpose to either gain time or hinder your opponent's development varies on a game to game basis. It's something that comes only with a sizeable amount of chess experience under the belt
Timing or tempi is very crucial and hard to learn
@@thejames666Exactly tempo is king in this game
It's like playing an engine. People also tend to forget just how strong Danya is because he doesn't compete in any major events, but he is rated 2619 and if he did compete more it would probably be higher.
Daniel this is the 4th time this week you showed the class a dominating position in the Alapin Sicilian
This is what happens when 2000 isn't cheating half of the game
Seems like the first player in the last few games that hasn't "played the best game of their lives". Also happens to be a viewer of Danyas. Strange.
@crugy Exactly. It's obvious he is playing some strong anglers.
@@crugy7 I'd rather see people who know what they're getting into rather than Danya just stomping 2000s on his smurf tbh.
@@Leo-zu5yl You sound like Gotham. Weak player prep "ruins" your ability to outplay them. It is far more instructive when they prep against Daniel.
I've been saying this since the 1400 games where they magically hold on against Danya like they are smurfing too lol, it's obvious when ppl cheat. Hilarious that people legitimately think a non-rated player has any chance to survive against a titled player, let alone a super GM xD when you watch all these GM streamers ADOPT IMs and go 10-0 against them... That should tell you what chance a random 2000 has.
@Yz Fool yes ans no, because realistically the skill you actually want yo learn is the skill of punishing bad play. Not the skill of playing computer moves like a GM which isn't attainable. As a 1900 it's far more instructive to see how Danya uses a bit of prep to insta crush with moves like knight g5 after.
Cudos to Danya’s opponent for embracing Monke🦧🦍
Kudos*
@@Mark_e_moo 🤓
It’s so calming and entertaining to watch danya explain and teach. Everytime I click on a new video it’s like entering a comfort zone. Thank you 🙏🏾
You made that look so easy! Great content as always!
You explanations are crystal clear to me who is not aware of the theory. Thank you!
"Babe wake up, Daniel Naroditsky has posted a new video"
This format is incredibly didactic❤
This was good. Thanks ✨
Love these videos always and just wanted to point out the format of the title differs from the other installments of the series!
Another Alapin! That’s awesome 🤩
Another super instructive Speedrun from the best chess streamer on the planet.
I am a long-time exponent of the Alapin variation against the Sicilian, but I still learned a ton from Danya's exposition, extending at times deep into the middle game.
Another speedrun video, lets go!
Thank you so much 🎉👍💗
You are the best chess teacher in TH-cam as far as I know
this was amazing again
amazing analysis x2
Great demolition with the alapin over some common lines
This was a good one 😃
Another day, another Danya masterclass woop woop 🙂
Can't wait to learn more now...
Probably one of the more instructive aspects of games like these is that we can all relate to being both on the winning and losing end of games where an early inaccurate move, that superficially looks reasonable, can create a cavalcade of problems you simply can't get out of. For us lower rated players, and I'm going to include a wide range of ratings there, when we are typically playing someone at our own level, we can usually get away with those inaccuracies. However, should either we or our opponent play accurately after those mistakes, we've all had games just like this where either we Crush our opponent or our opponent crushes us. The thing to take away is how better players don't take these early moves for granted. And one of the ways to get better is to minimize making these positional mistakes. It seems self-evident, but somehow we seem to postpone the study of these Concepts for some reason or other.
So smooth 😮
Dear GM Naroditsky. You are truly a gift to the Chess community. I would have snapped up your Jobava course only I recently switched to 1. e4. However, I would pay top dollar if you did an Alapin course. Is this something you've considered?
this was a beautiful game
Wow .. this is the difference of a strong GM like Danya with a casual player like me! .. after ...Qxd1, Kxd1 I would quickly judge the position as a boring equal Queen-less endgame... really eye-opening analysis !!
There are no boring equal endgames below 2000 elo.
had to upvote at 8:18 lol. lets go
Very interesting video! But think the problems were black’s defence oriented play… If you sac a pawn to get your pieces out, then get them out and don’t try to get the pawn back immediately! Have been looking at these lines from black POV for possible repertoire and find there are better lines than 2 knights, such as Nc6 followed by Bf5, when black gets adequate compensation in pawn sac lines (stockfish). For good Bf5 game See Paehtz-Short 2012, which has an amusing end… Also Royal Chess Channel has a great vid on early Bf5 line, which checks out with engine.
17:00 this whole line is very similar to the Botvinnik variation of the semi-slav!
absolutely brutal game
Knight to d5
Me: "wait, what does this move accomplish? Nothing right?"
Danya: "so.. Knight to d5.. very understandable move"
u should see it defends the c7 square
I love queenless middlegame mating attacks!
You can make 10 different chess videos with just one of Naroditsky analysis and they all will be extremely high quality
Yay!
Ouch...that was curb stomp!
So based. Thank you for putting so much effort into giving us all of this God tier content.
4:00 does Bd2 work to defend the pawn? With the idea of pushing b4.
@26:28 .is knight to d3 check a move for black?
At 15minutes isnt there a knight sack with check to block the rooks check. This way black looses one more pawn but makes his position slightly easier to play'
Seems like Nf6 is the best respond to the alapin avoiding all the shenanigans
I saw you lost a game before this one, do you plan on making a video on it or did you even played that game?
Thanks for the video ! Does someone have the reference of the Alapin book please ?
Does anyone know which Alapin course Danya referred to in the game ?
Can't figure out why this guy haven't reached atleast 1M subscribers till now
This is what it should look like whe you play someone 600 elo points above you.
Surprised he didn’t find Nf6 at the end there
Back to his bread and butter after those shaky Jobava games 🙃
Where to buy that hoodie? Thanks
Did he get these lines from the alapin chessable course?
Great game as usual. However, at that specific position, Ka3 is very hard to find
Na3, K is for King
@@ryans9094 It's theory. Not only is it theory it is tactical threat. If you can't find tactically threatening moves your problem isn't the opening.
whats the best alapin chessable course?
what ended up happening to the guy from the previous video?
Would love some najdorf, sveshnikov, and other sicilian lines. Maybe even the levenfish variations like in the queens gambit
You're not going to find any of those here.
@@Graceclaw why?
@@yiqnni9789 no one below master level plays the najdorf
@@lanlehoang2177 Maybe but I play tournaments around that intermediate level of around 1500-1600 otb and get a lot of najdorfs
@@yiqnni9789 i mean even if danya plays the open sicilian it would take dozens of games to find an opponent playing the najdorf, and he'll need like dozens of najdorf games to illustrate the main ideas. So it's really impractical to expect a najdorf here
Instead, if you play the alapin/smith morra, your opponent cant play the najdorf, right
It's fascinating to me to see how a 2000 rated player in a game with no major tactical blunders ends in no time no castle pawn structure ruined and with two bishops a knight and a rook on top of his king.
Kudos to chimp for watching the stream and finding E6
What's the name of the chessable course?
As always, the best!
The Alapin is amazing at this level. My opponent walked into this position the other day where you just take the knight and say "Oh no, my queen!":
1. e4 c5 2. c3 Nc6 3. d4 cxd4 4. cxd4 d6 5. Nf3 Nf6 6. Nc3 Bg4 7. d5 Ne5
It's not about the opening my guy.
@@musical_lolu4811 well he won because of the opening so clearly it is to a degree at his level 🙂
Which book is Danya using for the Alapin opening and others?
The book he's referred to frequently is "Squeezing the Sicilian - Alapin Variation" by Alexander Khalifman and Sergei Soloviov and the chessable course that he mentioned is "Tame the Sicilian: The Alapin Variation" by Rustam Kasimdzhanov & Surya Shekhar Ganguly.
Khalifman and Sergei Soloviov
Did he delete the last speed run video?
not uploading losses? I wondered what the thought process was in those games
A couple of them he resigned in even positions, so maybe he just had to step away for something? Did you see them on-stream? There is one he straight-up lost though, and the opponent played enough inaccuracies that it doesn't look like a cheater (to me).
@@usageunit oh that makes sense since he's always playing them when he's about to end the stream :p
SOME BENONI GAMEPLAY DANYA special request
Watched
Having been married to the Grand Prix against the Sicilian for a very long time, I'm getting a divorce.
Almost everyone plays the Alapin now. I'm starting to hate it. It's all about who's deeper in the book.
@@canonjean-mignon4985 I mean from black but yeah
@@canonjean-mignon4985 Smith-Morra doesn't avoid the Alapin.
Did you ever determine if the last player cheated
Yes he said in his stream that he thought he was cheating. The opponent even showed up in the twitch stream and tried to defend himself but nobody believed him. It was pretty funny
@@maximix5447 At least he didn't flee like a coward
@@monstermagnet3150 I mean he cheated like a coward. Then showed up in the stream to see if he could get away with lying like a coward.
I love the Alapin but sadly keep messing it up 😢. I need to study all Danya’s more clearly!
Dam I feel bad for black, he got absolutely destroyed
And he prepped!
I had two ideas and Narod immediately explained why both were awful 🤦🏻♂️
Well, now you know more!
Could you do a speed run of artistic chess next? Going for sacrifices, romantic, and even aesthetically pleasing chess like Ng5 at 8:00. I think it would be super fun and interesting, less educational but more entertaining.
Pawn phalanx
he really didn't play like a 2000 at all.
They really shouldn't allow something this dirty on TH-cam.
I think I'll have to study every variation on this video if my 600 elo brain can handle it.
Ur basically never getting this at 600
I gained 300 elo points in 50 days watching this speedrun, i am 1956 now
I gained 3000 elo points in 3 days watching this speedrun, i am stockfish now
Why is it soo rare that most chess players ever become GMs ?
I wonder why people think that is 🤔
If most people who played chess became GM's then it wouldn't really mean anything, would it?
it takes commitment and time that a most people don't have.
@@nicholastedesco2905 I think this makes the most sense but if we look at chess streamers like Gotham chess he's whole life is chess but somehow he still isn't there
@@bjornfollin5056 yeah but what separates the them from every other player like why can very few reach it are they some sort of child geniuses
the requirements for getting the GM title are very strict, you have to be good at chess, play internationally in tournaments at a high average rating (2600) against at least 33% gm opponents etc.
I am a simple man, i see sanya video i click
Who is sanya?
Who is sanya?
I played no Alapin since my childhood but was very happy to see that I know much better how too handle that position than a so strong grandmaster. (a5 ist played very often OTB under 2100 Elo)
Cringe comment, kudos for knowing an opening move
This guy is good! I wander why he still isn't an IM.
you mean daniel ? he is a super GM
I significantly prefer it when you don’t play viewers.
First!
Weird title...
okay mr. stockfish...
Just because of the Word "dominate"?!
@@Pascal-md9os The title was changed, now it's normal
He forgot to post the game where he got beat by that cheater 😂
He said he wasn't going to post it.
@@maximix5447 a shame
@@cnred7987 you can always watch the twitch vod
Embarrassing performance from Black. He should be ashamed.
If you are a Chopin enthusiast, you should be a gentleman and save your p*ssy comment for whoever
The guy has the right to be stressed when facing a GM he likes
