I don’t think Eric Rosen could have survived his excitement if you had actually got a double pawn cube. Nice game and analysis. I love the Caro so it’s really great to have you deepen my understanding
I've watched lots of chess streamers and TH-camrs, but this is genuinely the most insightful and useful content I have come across, that still is also very entertaining.
Literally tried to study this line yesterday and realized "hmm this isn't very concrete, I would really benefit from some coaching insights here". Thanks Danya, you're always here to help people out :D
Dan is by far the best instructor on TH-cam. Levy tries too hard to be funny, Hikaru doesn’t explain anything and just talks about juicers, ben is too sarcastic and agadmator explains moves retroactively after consulting the engine without proper analysis
Check out my other favorites as well: Hanging pawns and NM Robert Ramirez! I love Danya for his 'walkthrough logic' "ok the position has transformed, we need to reevaluate first." Hanging pawns has a lot of theory and knowledge, only 2000 Fide, while Robert is similar in his content, he may offer you some niche/rare, but practical lines, as he is a NM. I joined my first few tournaments last month, and with the help of all these guys, I'm already 1600 USCF!
I learn so much from these games. Your comments are very helpful. I am a 1600-1700 player and I learn much more from your videos than from annotated GM games. Thanks, Daniel!
@@Tyler-bp4md that's understandable. Few 1300s go into main-line theory anyway. I encounter a lot of Bc4 on move 3, Bb5+ on move 3 after d6. I only get the Najdorf about 10% of the time, maybe now 25%, and in that position white has many good moves which all have good responses. :)
You have a real talent for teaching. Good professor, only adequate chess player here, but I do know teaching. Your deep insights shine through, and your honesty about not going as deeply as possible for an audience that may not understand you is also a pleasure.
@danielnaroditsky Just a thought, but it would be super cool if you had your speedrun openings organized into their own playlists. For example, I would love to find a playlist of all of your Caro-Kahn games/lessons!
19:51Very instructive Daniel thank you . The innocuous ab6 is much strong than the natural looking almost conditioned reflex capture Bxa6 ?! This theme of the stupid looking but deadly innocuous bishop moves instead of say the obvious bishop out post moves can be intriguing in chess because the bishops can reveal a lot of other possibilities in a few moves later. And even strong out posted bishops can become targets or easily avoided, but sometimes the bishop and pawn is very strong or very weak in endgame. Interesting finding quirky chess ideas comes with experience great Lesson Daniel .I think I've played Caro Kann 3 times in my life lol. Lets give it a try... yeah boi !! .I like to play against caro kann with white and I know a couple of whites gambits and I know and another crazy line chasing blacks bishop, I found with one of my gambits. Thanks bro . love ya work !! All hail the pawn cube , had a diamond once ;D
Hi Daniel, would you ever consider linking to an analysis board (or PGN) of these games? I know these were recorded some time ago, but that would be super helpful :)
I need a King's Indian defence episode please Danya. I know the opening moves and what I want to do against some variations but sometimes especially against higher rated players I'm just lost for what to do in the middlegame. Oddly enough I do better when they opposite side castle, cause then I push C5 instead of E5 and swarm them on the queenside.
you said pawn cubes can be clumsy in an end game, but if you have that pawn cube and wiped all of the major and minor pieces off the board, it would be almost impossible for your opponent to stop that pawn cube from rolling down the board
I don’t think Eric Rosen could have survived his excitement if you had actually got a double pawn cube. Nice game and analysis. I love the Caro so it’s really great to have you deepen my understanding
I love that Daniel's version of "trolling" is him asking a good question in a teachable moment. 11:44 He's so wholesome.
"Indestructible pawn cube".
IM Eric Rosen.
Awesome as always. Very meme-y episode as well, with "16(16)60" rating and the "indesctructible pawn cube!!!".
5:15 The most powerful structure in all of chess The Pawn Cube!!!!

I love how Daniel purposefully makes you think about the position, like he actively tries to make you consider new possibilities. Extremely helpful
All hail the Pawn Cube
haha
20:10 "all hail the Pawn Cube" cracked me up 🤣

Not only does Levy try to hard to be funny, he's smug and condescending.

You don’t watch levy to learn, you watch levy to be entertained

Interesting move at 3:50. I'm glad we get to explore all these variations of the Caro-Kann. It's making me want to play it instead of the sicilian.
I play the caro just know that though the gms make it look seamless it is anything but
the sicilian is such a hard opening

So bummed when he skips a day of lessons, thanks as always for the incredible lectures 🔥
The opponents are getting pretty good.
1700 is no joke rating
@@triflomastera4882 it is

I got levys course on the caro kann. This video is a very good addition to my tartakower gameplan. Love it!!!!!

I've never seen the pawn cube.
Great lesson on the Caro. Very instructive DN. We learnt a lot in a short time. Keep it up

Make it yourself bruh, so I could also watch if u make it public😅
best episode of the speedrun so far!
Thank you for the content! Hellou from Mexico :)
@@holabola9064 De San Luis Potosí! Y tú?
Great video, Daniel. I learned a ton. I loved the "snake-shedding-its-skin" analogy.

Thx for the amazing content these speed runs are so helpful
22:52 is the funniest thing I have seen from dania. lmao.
Hope we'll see some Benko gambit in the coming speedrun.
I paused watching these really helpful speedrun vids due to my studies but I saw 1660 and then I had to come
i came too
i’m coming now
no point holding it in brother
I came again after 2 fucking years💀
Man, the odds of Daniel uploading a 1660 speedrun and gotham uploading at the same time..
They definitely colluded!
Daniel doesn’t hang pieces on move 6 though.
You are an incredible teacher, player and person
Another great episode of my favorite series
1660 elo, hmmmm
Danya uploads video at bed time... Bed time gets pushed back
So instructive thank you very much!
Thanks yet again for another terrific tutorial!
You're such a good teacher, Mr. Thank you very much.
thank u daniel , u really do big effort to explain us how to play better chess 🙏
Great explaination, thank you.
7:41 Re5 c5 you can just take due to the pin
When i heard a pawn box beeing good i was so happy. Definitly found my favourite line haha
So good quality content, thanks daniel from france
I like this line from both sides!
Extremely instructive 💯
The only thing I "hate" about these videos is how easy Daniel makes it look 😂
Do continue this series...it's good for you as well as us
1:30 Ah yes, of course, the Bronstein variation. Dubious indeed. I do not recommend it.
I thought it was a good line, people like Hikaru plays it
@@James-Cook because hikaru can get away with dubious openings doesn't mean you can
In my extensive studies as a 900 rated player I've found it to be indubitably dubious
@@insanemaniac9317 actually I play it with decent success, and the computer doesn't hate it, also many grandmasters play it in classical
Great lessons as per usual
I love that he’s playing the caro and the Danish so much because those are my main 2 openings
What's your rating and what you play on
@@BREAKocean like 1000 on chesscom
I love the caro-kann, i will give this one a shot Sensei Daniel
im learning different caro kann variations right now on chessable i would love to see more unorthodox variation and the fantasy variation
I freaking love the look of the pawn cube😂
Thanks for your great video. The pawn cube is a new idea which I hope to use for a win someday.
god this analysis is so good
Excuse you, Danya, it's called a pawn CUBE. It's indestructible.
thank you for the content, good sir
These thumbnails are getting better and better I swear.
Hello Daniel, can you try a wing gambit? Its a very cool line, I don't think grandmasters play it much.
The sacred number
We’ve anticipated your return Sir
Hi Daniel, would you ever consider linking to an analysis board (or PGN) of these games? I know these were recorded some time ago, but that would be super helpful :)
I think you can just go to chess.com and search him by the username
@@henrychess3 Didn't think of that. Thanks!
I need a King's Indian defence episode please Danya. I know the opening moves and what I want to do against some variations but sometimes especially against higher rated players I'm just lost for what to do in the middlegame.
Oddly enough I do better when they opposite side castle, cause then I push C5 instead of E5 and swarm them on the queenside.
He played lots of King's Indian defense in prior speedruns!
Thank you GM Danya
The caro Kahn was actually played in Vienna chess but caro made it big in the world of chess that's why they made it the caro kahn
Daniel Naroditsky hung a piece on move six
It's just gone above my head 😵😵
There should be a queens castling move in chess just like that of king's. So that both king and queen could remain safe until the end .
Thank you for the content
I love how Daniel is explaining these chess lectures.
Honestly just a Caro-Kann speedrun would be very interesting to watch
You are great bro. And your English is simple love you from Syria ❤️
Do you have any videos against hilbily attack and panov-botvinnik attack?
im surprised there aren’t more 1660 jokes in the comments
Caro Kan not boring it start very solid and the action heat up in the middle game.
I can only hope that I will be as good at explaining things as Daniel someday.
The Rosen pawn cube!
1660?
Most insightful... I just feel stronger :-)
Very enjoyable. 👍 cool beans
Daniel 'Pawn Cube' Naroditsky
@8:36 Is Rh4 a good move?
okay nvm he’s gonna explain it
Fascinating.
Danya DAMNNNNN GIRL Naroditsky!!!!
i can believe he's already 161660 elo
Love your contents
Min 8:43.. Rook to h4 is posible?
you said pawn cubes can be clumsy in an end game, but if you have that pawn cube and wiped all of the major and minor pieces off the board, it would be almost impossible for your opponent to stop that pawn cube from rolling down the board
I'm glad that your opponent didn't hung a piеce on move six
My drug has arrived
hail the pawn cube
*ALL HAIL THE PAWN CUBE*
23:18 HAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHA
At 7:30 can't you play Nxc4? You're gonna lose that knight anyway and that temporarily protects the rook and attacks the queen
already liked this vid, but I'll watch it later, i still have work. But of course it's rebeccaharris so it's a solid quality content 💪
danya the very best ❤️
Do you have a photographic memory?
At 22:55, why not c5 instead of Rad1
It looks also crushing, but it seems like white gets a rook for a pawn instead of a full rook
@@MM-sc4ww But Rad1 doesnt give white a full rook as rook goes back to d4 (like he said).
Caro is my oppening,only thing i hate is when white chase my bishop with g4 in advance variation.
You are awesome ! 🤩🤩
800 elo PROTIP: make the pawn cube and wait for your opponent to die.
Look he saw rook h4, he just didn’t like it.
I got that reference
22:31 by the way
