Never. Stop. Speedrunning. I hope you get as much out of these as we do, Danya - mentally as well as financially. It’s a genuine source of comfort and enjoyment whenever a new vid pops up.
I just thought of a kind of interesting idea for a speedrun. What if you purposely played into lines that you didn't know the theory very well on and then an aspect of the analysis could be about how GMs go about learning new openings. Not sure if there's enough unexplored territory for you in the opening to do a whole series like this, but I thought it might be interesting to try.
Been watching your content for a while and you're an amazing teacher dude. It's so cool that we get comprehensive GM level analysis and wisdom (that's actually digestible). Really appreciate your time brotha!
You can only love naroditsky for making an effort to put these out, these videos might as well been behind a paywall, but they aren't which is wonderful, you get to learn and become a better chess player so freely, certainly a fantastic time to be a chess enthusiastic no matter your level
Kamil Plichta actually reccomends bb4 and nf6 in his chessable course on the accelerated dragon. He also points out the similarities to the four knights scotch... pretty crazy to see danya figure this out in real time!
both the game and the lines were very fun to watch but oh boy, my brain shut off at some point. that tactic that Daniel percieves as beginner lvl was really messing me up till the end. i did see this tactic dozen of times in the puzzles, yet it made the position so much more complex that i couldn't keep up anymore
Damn, such a shame the a6 move idea at @7:30 had that minor draw back and you had to castle instead, it was such a cool line i really wanted to see it :)
After Nbc3 defending the pinned knight on e4, looks like black had a sick tactic with Bxf2+! If the rook takes then the c3 knight is no longer defended since the e4 knight is pinned. If king takes, Bxe4 is a discovered check.
19:25 b5 was such a good move by white to complicate the game down a tonne of material. If black didn't have those tactics with saccing the queen on f2 he would be in a big trouble because of the pawn on the 7th rank anchoring the rook to a potential c8 invasion and the bishop covering the "luft" square on h7
According to my books, the early insertion by White of the king-knight development 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. c3 e5 (or 3. ... Nf6 or 3. ... e6) makes this an "Old Sicilian", not an Alapin.
I now see why you like the Alapin so much. It seems like such a bland opening at first appearance. This is on the level of the King's Gambit and Smith Morra, had no idea it was this tactical.
If instead of calling it 'speedrun' then it could be "last three rounds with the champ" and this poor guy would be counted out in the second. That was brutal.
19:10 is taking the rook really the only fighting move? You're already down a knight, does trading your queen for 2 rooks benefit you? It's an imbalance, but a queen offers so much more attacking potential.
Yes it is, being down a piece for nothing is just lost while if you have 2 rooks for a queen imbalances can offer White some very small hope, the computer might not care but this is a very important practical aspect
This is good content obviously but with how consistently almost the exact same comments are posted on every single one of these videos I’m convinced a lot of you aren’t real
It’s a term he’s used often in earlier videos. Usually when a knight goes via a3 or similar… not necessarily the best square but a transfer before it lands on its intended square… just like transferring through Frankfurt Airport….. maybe you had to be there? 😊 Made sense at the time.
@@chessicles99 I don’t understand what you’re trying to point out, you absolutely should know something against the Alapin even if it’s not the main-line, if someone follows his recommendation he won’t have anything for the Delayed Alapin
It refers to this symbol common in chess books: ±, literally the plus over minus math sign. It means white has clear advantage. And you'd flip it upside down for black.
I can’t believe how good these are, and how effective a teacher Danya is. Simply astonishing.
So true. What an amazing time to be alive, we can learn chess from Grand Masters online... insane. Danya is incredibly talented 👏
@@visionofconfluence9932 for free too
Not just effective, I would argue he is the best. Haven't seen anyone deliver ideas with such clarity and precision.
+ his oratory is superb

32:00 "You check it immediately, you memorize it, boom that's it" -- If only this kind of memorization was so simple.

Cool hope danya sees this and maybe decides to do it
Another one ! Best chess series on youtube. These 15 min games are the most instructional of your rating climb videos so far. Love it
Danya still kicking arse & taking names in the Blitz world. Love it ♥️

Really appreciate your time brotha!
Thank you so much Danya, this is the most educational chess content on TH-cam!
Just played my first chess tournament. I went 2-2. Absolutely love these videos, I will keep trying to improve
Nice work dude!

I've been refreshing YT all day waiting for this. It worth it.
The last week i guess i have watched about 20 hours++ of Danya's videos! AMAZING educational skill. I will buy his courses if he has any online
the fact that this content is free is amazing. even as someone who is 2200 fide. these are really useful
thank you GM Daniel, greet from Indonesia, I love how you commentate your own game, sounds like watching World Champion match.
Just lovely to get such quality instruction for free. Thank you so much.
Been greatly enjoying your commentary during the World Chess Championship! ❤

Just what I needed :D thanks for uploading!
Really useful as always
Amazing, as always. Danya, come back and visit stanford!
As always,
Thank you so very much, GM Faded Даня.
great game. those engine lines were ridiculous
both the game and the lines were very fun to watch but oh boy, my brain shut off at some point. that tactic that Daniel percieves as beginner lvl was really messing me up till the end. i did see this tactic dozen of times in the puzzles, yet it made the position so much more complex that i couldn't keep up anymore
Amazing series sir
Coach it is very helpful to me because I love to play cicilian alapin❤
Amazing content - thank you
Amazing example of Danya’s vision and skill. It’s astonishing to watch and yet be taught enough to comprehend his thoughts. Love these!!
get a room
You open the book and you memorize it... I think I was born broken cuz I can't just memorize it that fast...
Thank you Sensei
Yay! Danya upload
Great video!😊
these videos are great it would be really helpful if you could include more catalan/nimzo/grunfeld
Someday Daniel has to do a grind to make a course with videos!!! I am ready to buy!
Amazing content from Danya.
"Oh no my pawn. Er, yeah, all part of a larger picture. Thank you for your cooperation." -- how to never 'lose' a pawn again.

You are not counting the material balance after these sacs.
I watch these videos, gain hundreds of elo points, but I still hang my rook 🤦♂️
Might as well sac the rook for something on the g file if it's gonna hang anyway...lol

If black didn't have those tactics with saccing the queen on f2 he would be in a big trouble because of the pawn on the 7th rank anchoring the rook to a potential c8 invasion and the bishop covering the "luft" square on h7
No because even Nb8 or Ne7 is simple enough
Lol don't complicate issues. Black had a better position with many options.
Love these speedrun videos!
I'll take a Hikaru impression any day 😂
According to my books, the early insertion by White of the king-knight development 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. c3 e5 (or 3. ... Nf6 or 3. ... e6) makes this an "Old Sicilian", not an Alapin.
Your books are likely old and outdated, that’s a delayed Alapin
Sometimes in life and chess it's important not to tell 'em we're deflecting.
I now see why you like the Alapin so much. It seems like such a bland opening at first appearance. This is on the level of the King's Gambit and Smith Morra, had no idea it was this tactical.
Who is the author of the alapin bible?
If instead of calling it 'speedrun' then it could be "last three rounds with the champ" and this poor guy would be counted out in the second. That was brutal.
I hope there will be a time when we can play this kind of so-called simple game..🤔🤔
ah the sicillian speedrun
The southern accent is so funny even tho it’s only for like 2 seconds lolz

What do you mean by the Aleppine Bible? Please tag me in your reply.
Hey guys, do you know what book Danya calls the "Alapin bible"? :)
Squeezing the Sicilian
yes we mated the queen
wheres the hoodie from
What’s the name of this book?
Пасиб за новый урок Даня
How can I get that book? I can't find it anywhere
Love how he finds a great move, but also refutes the line in the 7th move, so he doesnt play it.. he always expects the best from the oponent
This is good content obviously but with how consistently almost the exact same comments are posted on every single one of these videos I’m convinced a lot of you aren’t real
Why your nick is FrankfurtAirport?

@@thejames666 thanks!
man this 1900 is pretty good im sure he will become a gm one day
I love you
Nice haircut!
which book is he using
Squeezing the Sicilian
I thought this was a speedrun that focuses on opening theory, so why is he improvising on move 3?
he couldnt play his recommended opening, which is accelerated dragon. but he then went over the theory after the game. i think that's fair :)
you can’t make your opponent play main lines
@@chessicles99 I don’t understand what you’re trying to point out, you absolutely should know something against the Alapin even if it’s not the main-line, if someone follows his recommendation he won’t have anything for the Delayed Alapin
How can I contact Daniel Naroditsky?
Superrrtt
At the level of the people that are watching?!?
Hikaru has left the chat…
What does "plus over minus" mean? Does it mean white is better? Or maybe that whoever is better is actually winning?
It refers to this symbol common in chess books: ±, literally the plus over minus math sign. It means white has clear advantage. And you'd flip it upside down for black.
@@josh_finnis thanks!
Danya you INTP I love you!
Earliest I've been to one of these
Am I tripping or is he drunk haha
Almost first
Thirst
open ne noor
Hope this video is good for destroying alapin
