Anybody else following his anti-Philidor speedrun? It’s supposed to be the Gleck system but all his opponents keep playing the Philidor for some reason lmao
The tragedy is that Danya is being punished for his integrity. Almost anyone with experience would advise against responding in any way to this sort of cancellation mob. It's a testament to his character that Danya even today responds in a way that tries to look at things from the eyes of his doubters - a level of generosity, objectivity, and fairness that none of his accusers have granted him, and that his accusers absolutely do not deserve. Danya is the sort of sincere, self-reflective person who is most vulnerable to be torn down by such mobs. He would never dream of asking for people's sympathy, but he should HAVE our sympathy. This is the kind of human being who deserves others to stand up and protect him with the kind of aggression that he is incapable of. It's sad to see so many in the chess world stand by idly as wolves circle the lamb in their midst.
Very well put. One positive takeaway from all of this never-should-have-happened situation is the much-deserved outpouring of support for Danya that is happening now. A curse upon Kramnik and his trolls. Hopefully, they will reap what they sow.
I think you put it perfectly! The level of patience Danya shows in any given situation is fascinating. I don't think most people have that kind of patience. Most people would snap much quicker than Naroditsky did after being accused of something they didn't do for an extended period of time. I'm personally really glad TTT changed their title to be closer to what Danya actually said in the interview.
Kramnik's Legacy is forever tarnished he could've kept his mouth shut and been remembered as a legend of the game! Now all that'll he be remembered as is a bitter old man who everyone hates!

Daniel Naroditsky has uploaded speedruns where he explains nearly EVERY MOVE i was 1800 now im 2100 in rapid this is thanks to Naroditsky cheating allegation is just absurd.
Pretty much all the chess masters doing "speedruns" explain nearly every move, that's generally the point - for them to be educational, and not actually for speed. Also, if someone at a high level is looking at stockfish, that would only help them explain a move.

that this is happening to danya of all people is so disgusting I can't even put it into words. he's been nothing but a positive influence on the chess community, and has taught a generation of chess players not only the game, but also manners and respect. wishing him nothing but the best, he doesn't got anything to prove for me.
He shouldn't worry. Most onlookers think kramnik is now an embarrassing crazy bastard who mistakenly believe he is a math genius because he was a chess genius, but fails horribly at understanding probability and derps other players and his community with crazy unfounded accusations.
The problem is that many in the Russian chess community are solidly behind Kramnik and like it or not, Russia is still a major player in the chess world. Just look at who has power inside FIDE's structure.
Nepo unfortunately sides with Kramnik, and I used to think it's just because he's Russian, but nope. Nepo is quietly becoming another person who's accusing others of cheating when it's completely unfounded.

Glad Danya chose to end on a positive note with gratitude - we're grateful to you too, Danya! There's a lot of good that's happening and it's good to soak up the goodness.
Usually I skip chess tournaments interviews as they are rather dry and insipid but I really appreciate the work put by TTT for giving us insight into the players, both top level and others, as human beings sharing their emotions on the couch!
You don't even know what really happened lol Just because he is a famous content creator and appears to be a nice person doesn't mean he is not guilty 🤷🏼♀️
Never seen Danya so restless! Danya is a man of great character, and those accusing him should just shut their mouths up. It's really sad to see such a pure soul and a player of such a great caliber suffer. We all love you and support you Danya, keep up the good work! I have learnt a lot from your channel and will always be grateful it.
Naroditsky seems like a very nice young man. Kramnik should be ashamed of himself and should put up or shut up. He’s carelessly tossing around accusations that are doing real damage, with zero proof.
You would expect chess champions to have a sense for strategy. Kramnik's reckless conduct is very unbecoming, and a great 'peep show' into his inner machinations.
@json3712even if you think what they did is comparable (it's not, Kramnik continues and continues to drone on about this and throw accusations and double down for months now) two wrongs don't make a right and I don't know why you can't see that. Since Magnus accused someone once it's ok if everyone does it constantly from now on?
Couldn't agree more; There are few crimes worse than cheating at the highest levels but this environment of disrespect and undermining of one's peers without evidence is one of those things. You've handled this better than anyone could hope to Danya, keep up the amazing work and thank you for your contributions to chess entertainment and education.
Danya deserves nothing but the best, besides the fact that he's an elite player and a beyond excellent chess educator he's always a classy gentleman. It makes me sad to see him upset over some baseless accusations.
You made me love chess man. I wouldn't have any passion for it if it wasn't for watching you talk about it and play. You are an inspiration. We are behind you Mr. Naroditsky.
What you say here is important. Danya, through his brilliant analysis and commentary on chess games, amped up my interest in chess to a new level, and I'm sure many others are in the same situation and feel the same way. On the other hand....What has Kramnik done? He has brought in a disgusting tabloid-scandal view of chess through his accusations which tarnishes the game, and will, I think, be the main thing he will be remembered for, instead of his chess career. May Kramnik rot in hell.
I have 0 respect for kramnik both as a professional chess player and even less for him as a living being. Danya said it best, the quote is in the title.
He doesn't need your respect. His name and legacy is forever set in stone as the beat the invincible Kasporov. No one will remember Danya after some years.
From a title/marketing perspective I get why they paraphrased it. But also there's a big difference between language about behavior and language about the person. "Behavior is not identity" is a concept I've been working on internalizing for ages, and it's a really valuable way to frame both criticisms of others and of oneself. Danya is a guy who chooses his words carefully. I don't think he'd have attacked Kramnik the person like the paraphrase implies, even though he's (rightly) attacking the behavior
It's not much of a misquote, I'm halfway through and he's already insinuated that Kramnik belongs in a mental institution and that he's pathetic. I'm a Danya fan and supporter in this drama but it is true that he's (rightfully) having strong words with Kramnik and his supporters.
His performance was incredible. 9.5 pts, same number as first place. I'm not sure why that's considered 10th place instead of tied first but in any case, it's a testament to his skill in blitz.
Danya is a legend - and historically speaking, one of the key people of the chess boom post-Covid. He is arguably one of the best chess commentators of all time and one of the best speed chess players of all time. Much love from Australia. All the best Danya! Thank you for inspiring an old man to get back into chess.
I'm so glad Naroditsky called out the cowardice and two-faced people and used those specific terms. Too many people let it slide. Danya has been so insanely patient and even when he's clearly furious and reached his limit, he's so clear and collected. Kramnik's reputation has been permanently marred. I see him as an old, cranky idiot and loser now. He chose that path. Meanwhile, I have more respect for Danya than ever before.
Daniel you are my hero. You are a great player and a better human. I’m currently watching one of your speed run and learning so much. Keep being true to yourself. Maximum respect.
Kramnik: "Well I'm better that dirt! Well... most kinds of dirt. I mean, not that fancy store-bought dirt. That stuff's loaded with nutrients. I can't compete with that stuff."
Danya did SO well, consideting this was his first World Rapid and Blitz. Really wish there were more opportunities for him to take on the world's best at rapid and blitz in serious tournaments.
Take take take is showing that top chess players just need a platform to stand on together to complain about everything wrong with top level chess. We just need places like this where people feel comfortable speaking their minds.
What a courteous conversation between those two, especially by Danya. You can just feel the weight on his shoulders from the cheating accusations that have been pouring down on him from a bitter narcissist - what a shame. Danya is by far the best educator in the high-level chess scene and must be protected at all costs. We are with you Danya (I speak for all true chess fans)! 💪🏻
There are all in all 9 symptoms from the DSM-manual of a NPD. Prove to me that he is NPD. Especially if you are a psychiatrist. - Female schizophrenia sufferer
"Danya is by far the best educator in the high-level chess scene and must be protected at all costs" ... I couldn't agree with you more. As angry as I am to witness the attacks against him, it gratifies me a lot to see the support he deserves coming out. Yes, we are with you, Danya.
Kramnik was my favourite player growing up. I remember following his match with Topalov at the edge of my seat. It's all in the past now; what a shame he has become. Danya, you're not the only one who has lost a childhood hero, but I've definitely gained a new one in the past couple of years following your educational videos. Keep up the good work and play, Danya
We believe in you, Danya. Kramnik is using the threat of accusing his opponents of cheating to intimidate and unsettle. He's like Trump." If I win, I'll accept the results. If not, they cheated."
Go Danya, it’s good to see this assertive side, he’s a great educator and therefore is possibly to kind to everyone even his enemies, but he needs to not tolerate any rubbish from anyone, even past heroes.
I used to love Big Vlad. But now I see him as a Big Bully. I wish Danya all the best. Must be absolutely horrible to be accused of cheating when you're the innocent party.
I remember seeing him play against Alireza during candidates, and still managed to beat him by a huge margin. While Dina sat right next to him. You can't cheat in front of another person and beat the best bullet player on the planet, in a 250 game hyperbullet match.
Absolutely love Danya showing up OTB. So inspiring to see, not just to regain honor after Kramnik's Soviet witch hunt, but also for his amazing spicy offensive chess. A lot of us are obviously rooting for him, and I really hope he keeps this up, he was insanely close to qualifying. It's time to forget about Kramnik, no serious player or chess fan cares about his antics.
Hi, I'd really love for you guys to publish all of your couch interviews with all the various players throughout the championships - - - it's a bit much to sift through the livestreams to find them Good work and thanks for the content :)
Most people don’t believe in what Kramnik is saying. We are not in the Hans’ accusations time where everyone believed in the “convincing statistics” from pseudoscience statisticans😂 But to be honest, most people are fanning the flames even more when Hans was accused especially Hikaru when they have no proof he cheated on the board. But Danya was a stand up guy and has never made money from the Hans’ drama. While it may be fair for Hikaru to experience what he did to Hans, it is very sad for Danya to be under so much pressure.😂 Take care Danya.
While not conclusive, statistics casting suspicion on Hans was several orders of magnitude more concinving that Kramnik's accusations tossed left and right every time any titled player achieves >90% accuracy in a blitz game. Even a game where Kramnik consistently outplays his opponent only to blunder badly in a relatively simple endgame. Come on
Don’t even try to compare Danya to Hans. Hans cheated multiple times and he admitted to it. Completely different situations. Take your Hans apologist propaganda elsewhere.
@@AGILISFPV Actually, you and Peter were in agreement the whole time. Peter was not comparing Niemann to Naroditsky or being an apologist, he was saying how their situations and personalities are polar opposites.
@@AGILISFPVthe problem is not whether Hans cheated or not. It is about being fair and not jump to conclusions. The “evidence of Danya opening chessbase in 2 seconds” can sound convincing to people who presumably thinks that Danya cheated. And pro players did accuse Hikaru of cheating behind the back. Just look at the evidence carefully before making the accusations. Those centipawn statistics and chessbase matching stats are outright fake science. And at the time, many people believed them blindly. Just be fair and stop categorising people. Look at the evidence 😂. If people do, Danya would not be under so much pressure.
I've watched the interviews that Levy's conducted with so many chess players with different personalities and the way he conducts and communicates with every single one of them with such finesse is astonishing. His emotional quotient must be off the scale.
I am so happy Danya came out in top for blitz and shut Kramniks crazy allegations . Well done Danya !! Honestly everyone should just ignore Kramnik . Wish Danya wins blitz!!
Danya is a pure gem! Well mannered, smart and a great ambassador of chess. I believe it was about time he stopped treating Kramnik with so much respect. Keep rocking, Danya: you’re awesome!!! ❤
Haha one of the most eloquent dudes on the planet apologizes for not being eloquent enough. We love you Danya.
That's what I noticed 😂

Proceeds to be far more eloquent than most

Why do you call him Danya?
Never seen Danya this angry. Damn
I get it he has been persecuted by Kramnik and his followers for a long time.
Ha, I love it. It's refreshing
He was also very candid in an interview with C-squared podcast (Caruana cast) about Kramnik. I think he's rightfully very pissed off at him right now.

He is arguably one of the best chess commentators of all time and one of the best speed chess players of all time. Much love from Australia. All the best Danya! Thank you for inspiring an old man to get back into chess.
Bro, the suffer in the eyes of THE SENSEI. Felt for you, Danya.
It’s cool to see my fav chess guys sit in a room together and chat
Kramnik: Topalov was ridiculous, of course. Also Kramnik: I am right about everyone accused of cheating, of course.
Boring 🥱 Who cares what Kramnik has to say. Dude has lost his mind many moons ago.. A sad legacy to leave behind
I'm so glad Naroditsky called out the cowardice and two-faced people and used those specific terms. Too many people let it slide. Danya has been so insanely patient and even when he's clearly furious and reached his limit, he's so clear and collected.
Kramnik's reputation has been permanently marred. I see him as an old, cranky idiot and loser now. He chose that path. Meanwhile, I have more respect for Danya than ever before.
Daniel you are my hero. You are a great player and a better human. I’m currently watching one of your speed run and learning so much. Keep being true to yourself. Maximum respect.
Danya is honestly just an awesome person, love the guy
😂
@@Александр-о7я3чhm?
The man has passion. I love when the players and commentators get real.
Daniel IS a player, too. #CHESSPIMP
Danya is such a great human being.❤
The other guy is not worth mentioning.
Kramnik: "Well I'm better that dirt! Well... most kinds of dirt. I mean, not that fancy store-bought dirt. That stuff's loaded with nutrients. I can't compete with that stuff."
Danya did SO well, consideting this was his first World Rapid and Blitz. Really wish there were more opportunities for him to take on the world's best at rapid and blitz in serious tournaments.
Dayna is a great chess player and fantastic commentator. Always classy. Fudge VK!
Danya is such a good guy. Good for the game, the community, good for everyone. Protect this man
I will go on record and say that I am a huuuge Danya fan. He's my favorite chess commentator by far and I love his educational content.
I love these interview sit downs. This format is perfect
Every word was entertainment, I loved the way he talked, just perfect!!
Take take take is showing that top chess players just need a platform to stand on together to complain about everything wrong with top level chess. We just need places like this where people feel comfortable speaking their minds.
A real class person.
Danya is a great dude you can tell by the he reacted to Ivanchuk mental collapse he just offered respect
Daniel is an astonishing teacher,I don't give a shit about lies anyone said,his thousands of fans say everything.
“I went the extra 10 kilometers” man Danya we love you haha
Danya, you’re a good man❤
Forget about chess , I should get English lessons from Danya
What a courteous conversation between those two, especially by Danya. You can just feel the weight on his shoulders from the cheating accusations that have been pouring down on him from a bitter narcissist - what a shame. Danya is by far the best educator in the high-level chess scene and must be protected at all costs. We are with you Danya (I speak for all true chess fans)! 💪🏻
There are all in all 9 symptoms from the DSM-manual of a NPD. Prove to me that he is NPD. Especially if you are a psychiatrist. - Female schizophrenia sufferer
DSM-5 manual.
"Danya is by far the best educator in the high-level chess scene and must be protected at all costs" ... I couldn't agree with you more. As angry as I am to witness the attacks against him, it gratifies me a lot to see the support he deserves coming out. Yes, we are with you, Danya.
Respect for Naroditsky. Appreciate the candidness and it's been fun seeing him in a big tournament.
beautiful words like that , he's a genius
Embarrassing comment.
@@blbl126 Danya reads books. That makes him a one-eyed king in the land of the blind.
Kramnik was my favourite player growing up. I remember following his match with Topalov at the edge of my seat. It's all in the past now; what a shame he has become. Danya, you're not the only one who has lost a childhood hero, but I've definitely gained a new one in the past couple of years following your educational videos. Keep up the good work and play, Danya
We believe in you, Danya. Kramnik is using the threat of accusing his opponents of cheating to intimidate and unsettle. He's like Trump." If I win, I'll accept the results. If not, they cheated."
Go Danya, it’s good to see this assertive side, he’s a great educator and therefore is possibly to kind to everyone even his enemies, but he needs to not tolerate any rubbish from anyone, even past heroes.
I used to love Big Vlad. But now I see him as a Big Bully. I wish Danya all the best. Must be absolutely horrible to be accused of cheating when you're the innocent party.
I remember seeing him play against Alireza during candidates, and still managed to beat him by a huge margin. While Dina sat right next to him. You can't cheat in front of another person and beat the best bullet player on the planet, in a 250 game hyperbullet match.
I feel very sorry for Danya, crazy witch hunt by Kramnik and his fellow trolls
Absolutely love Danya showing up OTB. So inspiring to see, not just to regain honor after Kramnik's Soviet witch hunt, but also for his amazing spicy offensive chess. A lot of us are obviously rooting for him, and I really hope he keeps this up, he was insanely close to qualifying. It's time to forget about Kramnik, no serious player or chess fan cares about his antics.
Hi, I'd really love for you guys to publish all of your couch interviews with all the various players throughout the championships - - - it's a bit much to sift through the livestreams to find them
Good work and thanks for the content :)
Most people don’t believe in what Kramnik is saying. We are not in the Hans’ accusations time where everyone believed in the “convincing statistics” from pseudoscience statisticans😂
But to be honest, most people are fanning the flames even more when Hans was accused especially Hikaru when they have no proof he cheated on the board. But Danya was a stand up guy and has never made money from the Hans’ drama. While it may be fair for Hikaru to experience what he did to Hans, it is very sad for Danya to be under so much pressure.😂
Take care Danya.
While not conclusive, statistics casting suspicion on Hans was several orders of magnitude more concinving that Kramnik's accusations tossed left and right every time any titled player achieves >90% accuracy in a blitz game. Even a game where Kramnik consistently outplays his opponent only to blunder badly in a relatively simple endgame. Come on
Don’t even try to compare Danya to Hans. Hans cheated multiple times and he admitted to it. Completely different situations. Take your Hans apologist propaganda elsewhere.
neither danya nor hans has cheated otb
@@AGILISFPV Actually, you and Peter were in agreement the whole time. Peter was not comparing Niemann to Naroditsky or being an apologist, he was saying how their situations and personalities are polar opposites.
@@AGILISFPVthe problem is not whether Hans cheated or not. It is about being fair and not jump to conclusions. The “evidence of Danya opening chessbase in 2 seconds” can sound convincing to people who presumably thinks that Danya cheated. And pro players did accuse Hikaru of cheating behind the back. Just look at the evidence carefully before making the accusations. Those centipawn statistics and chessbase matching stats are outright fake science. And at the time, many people believed them blindly. Just be fair and stop categorising people. Look at the evidence 😂. If people do, Danya would not be under so much pressure.
A professional, teacher, gentleman, an honest man. Danya.
Much, much better ambassador of chess than Kramnik
Danya you’re amazing. Don’t let haters get you down. Thanks for everything you do for us chess lovers
At 3:30 Danya turned into a 5 star general. Very assertive and fair.
Kramnik in old age = Bobby Fischer in old age
It's sad to see such a kind, talented player hurt by one of his heroes
They changed the title. They put" kramnik is worse than dirt
We Stan Danya 🎉
*danya trying to get his point across*
Levy: “swear you’ll dumb down your speech for us next time”
Yeah, idiotic interviewing by Levy. Way to completely fail to listen to the most important part.
sadly Levy's IQ is maybe 50% of Naroditsky's so he's probably not the best choice for interviewer.
Two of the best commentators in Chess. 👏👏👏
More power to you Danya
You are so kind ❤
So awesome to see Naroditsky perform as well as he did.
LOOOL
Danya was already one of my favorite Chess Player alive but now he reached top 5 😂😂
Daniel is class. And a very good ambassador of chess.
KING Danya!
I've watched the interviews that Levy's conducted with so many chess players with different personalities and the way he conducts and communicates with every single one of them with such finesse is astonishing. His emotional quotient must be off the scale.
Danya is my favorite American GM!
Danya is the man! Fan for life right here! His passion for Chess and aggressively play has been inspiring these past few years.
I am so happy Danya came out in top for blitz and shut Kramniks crazy allegations . Well done Danya !! Honestly everyone should just ignore Kramnik . Wish Danya wins blitz!!
What an amazing dude. Even when he’s going through so much he’s still classy as ever.
Talk to em Danya 🗣️🗣️❗❗
Danya is a pure gem! Well mannered, smart and a great ambassador of chess. I believe it was about time he stopped treating Kramnik with so much respect. Keep rocking, Danya: you’re awesome!!! ❤
Danya, Levi, you guys rock.
Gotta love how Danya apologizes for not being eloquent and then casually throws obsequious and sycophantic into the conversation.
Danya is a gent and he is NOT a cheater. He has my 100% support.
But he admitted to cheating.
