Watch Levy for Fun
Watch Eric to Relax
Watch Botez to Party
Watch Hikaru to be amazed...
Watch Dayna to Learn
I dunno, I find Levy more annoying than fun, but I know I'm in the minority here.
Who watches Botez? lol they use their looks and obnoxious personality for views. They're not even that good.
Well said
@@DougHoffman Finally someone with common sense here
@@DougHoffman I don’t think you’re a minority it’s just his loud fanbase outbursts on opinions like yours.
These videos are a blessing. I always watch one before I play and have a decent performance. Also went from 900 to 1300 in rapid and still climbing. Would love to see a Catalan game
He played the catalan in a prevoius speedrun
@@andrb8945 ha yea I think that was one where he recommended not touching the Catalan until you’re 2200 FIDE. Keep climbing!
Been watching the speedrun nightly. My rating has improved, but my enjoyment of the game has skyrocketed. Now I have some strategy behind every move I make, even if it's not always the right one :) Thanks for the great content as always.
21:21 Engine gives this position -1.38 in Black's favor on stockfish depth 30. Very close guesses from Danya (-1.7 was his guess)
I was hoping someone had the eval!
@@kruksog I didn't see anyone else with an eval number so I plugged it in for myself. After Qxc3 the engine is closer at -1.55 for black!
@@calvinlittle7 hey, I'm grateful you shared it. Thanks for doing it. I was stoked to see it after Danya said what he did. You just keep doing you bud 👍.
stockfish depth 20 evaluates the position -0.8 for black
On higher and higher depths Stockfish 16 ranges from -0.96 to -1.14, having run it to a billion nodes (depth 55).
One of my favorite tropes in Grandmaster chess vids is how they proceed with game and the commentary discusses "simple chess" with a lot of consecutive nice positional moves. Then *BAM* you get hit with this galaxy brain forced sequence starting with a 4 piece sacrifice and a 17 move mating net out of nowhere.
Can't believe he hasn't faced an open Sicilian setup yet. I swear I get that every single time I face e4.
what time format do you play?
Yeah, kinda crazy. I run into it 50% of the time
I rarely face open sicilians online. Mostly people play the bowdler (italian setup) the alapin or the mccdonnel. However in my otb gamed the open sicilian is what I face the most.
After this speedrun id love for Danya to deep dive into his recommended openings and add to that playlist.
That would have INSANE value
Danya showing no mercy to the bad moves suggested by chat and played by the opponent this episode and I’m 1000% here for it
Sick mate, these instructional videos never dissapoint. 😍😍
Great instructional video, as always.
Thank you Danya for the infinitely instructive content!!!!!
Excellent job during Tata Steel Danya!!!
Thank you so much GM Danya!!
Good video, thanks
Great video, thank you very much!
As always for a speedrun game both entertaining and instructive.
So grateful for your deep analysis of the line where white clings to the pawn with c4! Just had a game where I won the knight with the Qc7 and long-castle trap. You are a gem Danya, and I'm at my all time rapid rating bc of your videos.
Danya really thank you for those videos and you are very underrated you deserve millions of subscribers you are simply the best..
Amazing
Nice game Daniel, very well played :P
Hi Daniel! I've been following your Speedrun series for a long time and it helped me tremendously! I was just wondering if maybe for one episode you could give your opponent a strong attack and show us how to approach defending strong attacks.
Great content as always. Would love to see some instructional videos that try to fully cover an opening and all the main lines in ONE video so that I can study and learn from it.
These videos are also great but requires viewing a lot of them to see how to respond to certain moves.
Bryce you could supplement watching these videos with checking databases and finding ideas/lines
i thought the same thing! One video with the very basic explanation of all the opening recommendations and putting games of the speedrun which feature those openings in the description, that would be absolutely amazing.
Just play chess lol
@@T-Dogg121 why are you even here then? lol
Hanging Pawns on youtube is the channel you need
Thank you Sensei!
The only kind of videos that I will never skip the ads
And make time to watch in one sitting if plausible
Right when I'm trying to go to sleep Danya posts a speedrun video. I guess I'll just sleep later.
Thank you for the encouragement that I need to do more puzzles. That mate was hard for me... - a barley 1200 rapid.
that was such a cool mate
great game
I love listening to chess videos while playing Factorio
It's nice to see the reality of people not actually playing the main lines in these videos. I feel like older videos ended up with a lot more main lines than you typically see at these levels.
Amazing as always. Opponent played really well IMO.
sicilian defense
I always play sicilian with black unless I'm white I play the Reti
@Sachitananda saaaameeee i also play grünfeld defense against d4 and if they don't play Nc3 and c4, then i go for king's indian and if they don't go c4 at all i go for chigorin defense
LOOOOOOOL
thanks
I am watching this speedrun by order and have heard many times about Open Sicilian. Now I am waiting it to happen because I think there are some very powerful stuff will be told by Daniel, some secret weapons
The commentary was cold and bold here 😂
Sensei the wise one
I have recognised the mate pattern and have used something similar in a game. I agree with Danya, is a matter of making puzzles.
Easiest sub of my life
I’m in Sicily
Ne8 was my first a-ha moment in chess 😆 I was 7 and only knew some basic chess and my opponent was pretty much the same but he knew this idea with Qg3 and Bh6 threatening mate or winning the exchange and he went for it. It took me 5 minutes to discover Ne8 over the board but after that my opponent didn’t know what else to play and I proceeded to win the game 😆
Hi Daniel. I was wondering if it might be more instructional to the rating range you're at to maybe stick to playing only tactical ideas that are associated with the rating range you're playing at. Just a thought but in any case I love the content and thank you for taking the time to share with us
sensei is geniues
I'd say this game was a classic example of going on an unsound attack as a panic reaction to pressure from your opponent?
Sooo, White playing Nb5 at 16:15 threatening a fork on c7.. We counter with Nxd4 and on Nc7 we play Qc6 threatening Qxc7 if the Knight on d4 is captured and if Nxa8, then we remove our Knight from d4 and eventually capture the Knight on a8 (then it would be two minors for the took)? Or how does this work?
Hey Naro! I was wondering if 2.g6 vs the Alapin is a good alternative to mainstream lines. What are its pros and cons?
i saw the idea to attack b2 pawn but i thought about something slow like knight e5 to c4 which is probably as good. gotta see the more immediate threats i guess
That opening was so Benoni!
Whites pawn on d5 feels like a thorn in the paw but it's not Black just dances around it beautifully. And that Mate.... OMG that mate was sick 😎
I’m just going to start talking to myself out loud in my best Naroditsky voice and see if that works 😅
Hey could you please make a full theory video about vienna game? Including 3.Bc4 and 3.g3 and some plans for gameplay. I'm trying to learn vienna but it's hard because there is only few videos on youtube explaining that. Pleaseee
I am beginning Scandinavian player and that position at move there kinda looked like weird scandi and it's already felt advantageous because you opened useful c file for queen attack/retreat and white didn't developed any knights. The following development ideas also felt a lot like scandi with Bf5 and e6 preparing to castle long, so kinda curious thing
49:48 After Rc1/Qb4, why not Qd1, defending the Knight and getting white's queen out of harm's way?
Danya what about making a rook endgame for the endgame playlist? It would be very much appreciated
I thought that Qa4 check was the best variation for white?Followed by Qb3 and Bc4. Also according to Khalifmann.
What is the solution against knight c7 at 16:28?
Forgot that this was a top theory speedrun
daniel naroditsky sicilian openigs
yay
at 19' how about b3, bf6, c4 qa5, rc1 ?
I like to move the f rook to free the f square for the bishop and to remove any bh6 shinanigans
After watching Gotham analyze 1200 rated players I feel there's hope for anyone under 800
I’m never sure when to keep the bishop pair and when it’s not a concern 🤷♂️ !
it's always the wrong rook - btw, altho I'm not sure, I think that the wrong rook came up in Marshall Capablanca, when the a-rook instead of the f-rook locked the king in a box - idk, i'm not sure, maybe
Thought of a forced sacrificial mating pattern at 31:30 NF3+ GXF3 BF2+ KH1 QF3+ KH2 BG3 = Mate
NF3+ GXF3 BF2+ KH2 BE1+ KH1 QXF3+ KH2 BG3 = Mate
Babe wake up, Danya posted
And this is why you do tactics every day.
RIP Alapin
If, after ...Qxf1+ White had played Kh2, there was a pretty mate in two starting with ...Bg3+!
Qb5 and Rd8 is the difference between us and a GM :D
Sensei danya is a legend. Iam 1400 now from 1100 2 years back👍
Great video. How do you handle 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.c3 where after 3...d5 4.exd5 we cannot play 4...Nf6
in that line you have to play Qxd5 because your opponent played the delayed alapin(3.c3) you can only play that Nf6 approach if the opening is alapin(2.c3)
@@efemetin5593 Yea, figured. Does not seem too bad for black, just somehow don't like it. More work required. Seems hard for me to put my light haired bishop to the right place in those positions.
@@MrKostaja Its always the light squared bishop that causes the problem lol. I always played Nf6 aganist alapin and i do quite well with it. You can try that line if you want, daniel played Nf6 in at least 2-3 videos i believe. Also if you are struggling aganist alapin i recommend you to study how to play aganist an iqp because most alapin games lead to the iqp structure.
Great content...though I find playing against the Queen with two Rooks and an extra piece easier
CATALAN!!!
Qb5!!
So when a lowlevel guy loses to a grandmaster in disguise, does he get some sort of bonus after the fact? Even just an message letting them know who that was, because it would be cool to know why your opponent seemed a thousand points higher than their rating. Otherwise he might think he's fighting Stockfish.
they get their rating refunded, i know that much. i assume that comes with a message explaining why it was refunded, but i'm not sure about that
20:41 can't you just have queen take c3 defending g7? Danya: Yes, very good, that's the best move. me: *squee*
(*Daniel playing the alapin*) We don't mind an IQP, it opens space for our pieces to manouver and the activity of our pieces compensate for the pawn and the opponent must be careful, our position is great
(*Daniel playing against the alapin*) We must do everything we can to get an IQP for white, which is the ideal scenario for us because it is a huge liability and the opponent must be careful, our position is great
Because position is equal, but ideas different:)
IQP is good during middle game with pieces to attack. However if you trade everything, it’s a vulnerable pawn difficult to defend in the endgame.
What game is this?
I think it’s Fortnite, but don’t quote me on that
It's just a dumb knock-off checkers game, I don't know why people keep playing it.
Holy shit the eval was -1.7 exactly, he got it completely right wtf
Intermediates are scared of open Sicilians because they know Black will have a favorite line
Daniel do you like planes?
It's really frustrating on the lower Levels.. the Open Sicilian ist the Most fun opening of all Times ever. And Nobody wants to play it because they think all the 1600s have some insane GM prep...
FOX!!!!
63!
White played like me lol. I'm so dumb
It's such a shame you only play the sicilian against e4
And whit white you always play e4 .
It would be nice to see a variety of openings
he plays different openings in his other speedruns on the channel!
@@satkidd. I know but lately he doesn't
Saddened by the fact that Danya had to check that the opponent's flag was Australia :(
It‘s a really small image tbh. Could easily mistake it for another former British colony like NZ.
I lose a lot of those dry games because I end up forcing it
Just spit on it first
29:57 we are using the minors 💀💀
I would have 100% blundered my queen on g2 at the end.
"knight c2. Cool." 😅
-2.4 in case you were wondering
dnk
First
nope :)
Happy black history month
Amazing
