This series escaped my rating range a while ago. I've stuck around cause its entertaining to watch Daniel so gracefully win against these high rated players.
There was a nice comment thread on video 41 full of comments with the same concepts Daniel repeatedly points out. Watching Chess players flex their skill is fun, but the additional simple and thorough explanation of why really enhances these videos.
I live the in the UK. Watching these videos first thing in the morning with a nice cup of tea is the perfect antidote to Lockdown blues. Thank you Daniel.
I used advice I got from you to win a nice game the other day. The position became closed, and I remembered you saying it was okay to play some slower moves in a situation like that, so I lumbered my rook and queen over to the kingside and found a nice checkmate shortly after. Thanks a million Danya!
Danya's brain just expands with every new episode. It's so obvious he gets more and more enthusiastic as he gets to play better opponents, it's beautiful.
just my two cents here. Daniel is the GM who explains his thought process the best (at least on TH-cam). I have been looking around for a while now and I keep coming back here. well done sir, and thank you.
One example of an exception to the three move rule comes from Smyslov Panov Moscow 1943. Because the position was so thoroughly closed (the first capture of the game comes on move 40.), Smyslov had enough time to walk his king all the way from one side of the board to the other and reroute every single one of his pieces before he began his attack. It’s one of the most astounding games I’ve ever seen.
He actually showed that game in one of the early episodes of this series! IDK exactly which one it was though unfortunately. He was either illustrating the power of king activity or he might have been making the same point as you: using it as an exception to the 3-move rule. It's one of my favourite games too - it must have been a very satisfying to pull off that manoeuvre.
Old beginner in my 60s defining how I’m going to learn chess after failing at around 10 years old & again at 15 years old. I hope to avoid my previous failures by watching & listening to a bunch of TH-cam videos. And I’m rewatching this series as I’m finalizing how I’m going to learn. Imho rn this is THE.BEST.OPENING.VIDEO It’s so rich from beginning to end & digestible because of GM Danya’s excellent teaching style.🙏
@Daniel Naroditsky You are suuuuuch a good teacher and I really enjoy watching and listening to you whether it is general commentary such as Tata Steel yesterday or these speedruns. You seem like such a nice guy! Much love from Sweden!
You should totally go into theoretical waters. Every person/streamer I watch always says they're not going to get into theory and just cover the broad strokes... I want someone to actually cover the theory. It is a lot harder than you think to find main lines and alternate lines and all the theory behind everything. I have no idea where to start and believe me I've been searching. The only thing I can think of is you have to rent or buy books on specific openings. So yeah, you should definitely get into the theory of openings and middle and endgames
Is it just a running joke at this point to say "I'm going to start playing different openings but let's play the KID again?" Always get pumped when I hear the first part!
This series is god tier in youtube chess videos. A recommendation if it's possible: Maybe the editor can flash the question briefly if Danya didn't read it out loud so youtube viewers don't get left out. Again, thanks for the series and it's been very amazing!
Just played an all time best game with 97% accuracy and im not up to 1350, was at 1150 when you started this series it is reallly good, more games around the 1800-1900 mistakes from your opponents are sooo educational
Hey danya, i love your instructional style. The only thing I find myself going to other channels for supplemental content of is quick vids explaining openings. I would love to see you make more of that content in the future
@@KironKabir I guess thats what it takes to be a super gm. But that is classical though, I believe Daniel is talking about blitz where you cant calculate as far.
Rook placement. I recall he said earlier in the course to place the rook behind the pawn that will contact in a pawn break. Is that true? I can't begin to thank Danya for this information.
Hey danya love the series. I think a good idea for openings is to do a poll on TH-cam to see what the most popular opening people want to see is. Keep up the great work :)
Check out his video library. This is his 45th speed run video. He started at the beginner level. He does two games per video and explains important ideas during and after the game. 👍
@@nathansharp3193 yes so he moves on from one rating range very fast with 4 to 5 games,, I wish there was more games in each rating range like 1700 level 10 games then 10 games with 1800 players like that
![กี่หมื่นฟ้า | Your Sky Series EP.1 [1/4]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/vLGjxFL6U_I/mqdefault.jpg)
Opponent: grabs a free pawn
Danya: it is already checkmate ladies and gentlemen

I was stuck at 1300 for a month or two. After watching this series, I am at 1500 now. This series is the best.
@@akashmondal9794 congratz dude!
@@manfrom20xx13 Thanks man
Same dude, but I feel like I also learn a lot more things from higher rated games
I was so hyped when chesslebanesesaleh showed up again
Without the uppercase letters I read this as chessle banesesal ah
He is the anime villain in this series.
@@MidnightBloomDev Daniel is the villain in the chesslebanesesaleh serie
Which video did he play him originally in? I want to watch that
@@AISlopForHumans The speedrun episode before this!
i always think it's crazy when GMs say "let me think" and then close their eyes.
I've heard they do it because it's easier to visualise the positions in their heads without the board in front of them to distract them.
@@santiagoarce5672 which is crazy, is what GREATopinion is saying
Try it yourself it isn't too hard and helps 😊😊
@@sherllymentalism4756😂😂😂😂
The rivalry between Danya and chesslebanesesaleh is like Magnus Vs Hikaru
But better
That’s an insult
Danya has not even flexed a muscle.
This is hands-down the best instructional chess series on TH-cam!
In english.
ChessLebaneseSalah is crazy strong for his rating, pretty cool to see him surprising you twice.
What other episode was he in?
@@og8263 He was Danya's first opponent in the previous episode (part 44).
His latest video is also with him. Strong opponent.
I live the in the UK. Watching these videos first thing in the morning with a nice cup of tea is the perfect antidote to Lockdown blues. Thank you Daniel.
I didn't think I could be the only one!😂
Of course. I haven been a loyal fan of Yorkshire Tea for a decade now.
@zlnst6 the best🤣
Same!
Same here
You should try to contact chesslebanesesaleh and see if he is down for some coaching! It would be lovely to see some advanced coaching in action!
I second this!
Why hasn't this been done already? Let's go
I used advice I got from you to win a nice game the other day. The position became closed, and I remembered you saying it was okay to play some slower moves in a situation like that, so I lumbered my rook and queen over to the kingside and found a nice checkmate shortly after.

Me: I'll sleep early today.
Also me: watches someone explain chess at 1:30am.
i'm at 3am
The prophet
always a time for chess

The way Daniel got excited after the bishop took the knight at 2:26 made my morning
I just love how Daniel is not actually speedrun the thing, it's just lovely his urge to teach people chess.

player: *pawn e4*
Daniel: checkmate is inevitable
Daniel: And this is actually a blunder
Wait the thumbnail is back to the future style and we’re at 1985, the year Marty lives in
The commentary and the titled arena were amazing, but this, this is my favorite.
Same. This kind of instructional chess learning video easily worth $50 instead we get it for free. POG DANYA
Been waiting for a Maróczy Bind response since you started playing the accelerated dragon! My favorite line to play. Awesome stuff Danya.
12:34 omg dude you killed me right there 😂😂. Danya is besto senseiii
Daniel Narodistky?
More like Daniel Naroditsking.
1985 elo finally fits all these thumbnails perfectly
@Daniel Naroditsky You are suuuuuch a good teacher and I really enjoy watching and listening to you whether it is general commentary such as Tata Steel yesterday or these speedruns. You seem like such a nice guy!
Much love from Sweden!
POV: it’s 1:30AM and you’re watching someone explain chess. Lol
3:30 for me
12:30
Me india: your comment has no power here.
Lol forgot to consider time zones 😅
6:48 i win
I honestly feel like I’m in a chess class when I’m watching these videos.
you are!
danya: usually plans are 2, 3, 4 moves.
me thinking that all gm’s plans are at least 234 moves: :0
Thanks for continuing this series. I have a cold beer, watch some chess. It's my wind down from a long day of studying during covid.
Same here, i was studying for my MLS exam and used this to unwind and decompress.
Congrats, you drink alcohol
@@jrodriguezpiano I don't think he was showing off, lol
I love those background color changes every new video, its so refreshiing!

What a way to start the day! I love the KID but sadly nobody ever plays the main line, so this was really instructive. Loved it.
Great games. Loved your book on chess strategy years ago.
Oh man, great timing. Thanks Daniel for this great series, it's really helped me improve my chess.
I get so excited for these everyday
Already 1985? I don't want it ever to end :D It is so instructive!
great q&a, please do more of these
Ahh yes, the good blurulurup tactics never fail
Danya you should do a kings indian course I would 100% get it
This is the difference between gm and regular high level players. Daniel is looking to abuse dark squares while his opponent is taking pawns.
Dude you are flying through the years
ChessLebaneseSalah is definitely sniping you lmfaoo
Probably watching Daniel's stream so he can see where all his pieces are.
Just here to appreciate once again
Thanks for your videos, Daniel.
Is it just a running joke at this point to say "I'm going to start playing different openings but let's play the KID again?" Always get pumped when I hear the first part!
Danya calculating is freaking dr Strange.
Glad the stream went so well today!!!
Thank Sensei Daniel! Keep crushing it!
This series is god tier in youtube chess videos.
A recommendation if it's possible:
Maybe the editor can flash the question briefly if Danya didn't read it out loud so youtube viewers don't get left out.
Again, thanks for the series and it's been very amazing!
Honestly I would love it if the whole chat is shown all the time
Found a new thing to watch every morning
Wow I’ve learned so much just watching these...
Daniel getting Benoni players' hopes up 4:08 or so into the video.
Wanted to go sleep, check if you dropped a vid. Guess we'll sleep late boys
Just played an all time best game with 97% accuracy and im not up to 1350, was at 1150 when you started this series it is reallly good, more games around the 1800-1900 mistakes from your opponents are sooo educational
Good commentary. Thank you for video.
Danya was disappointed with 89.4% but im happy with just getting double digits
Hey danya, i love your instructional style. The only thing I find myself going to other channels for supplemental content of is quick vids explaining openings. I would love to see you make more of that content in the future
35:58 I believe you but then I saw Grischuk with his 15 move idea and then I knew that's what it means to be a superGM

@@KironKabir I guess thats what it takes to be a super gm. But that is classical though, I believe Daniel is talking about blitz where you cant calculate as far.
King’s Indian: 0:11
Accelerated Dragon: 13:42
6:28 true art
Brilliant King's Indian lesson. Thank you.
21:23 was a really nice idea
Hard to believe this video was made in 1985
@7:45 Bd3 is an unstoppable threat? But as I see Ne-c2 can be played to stop Bd3 check.
Awesome content
21:05 xqc impression OMEGALUL
Love the videos !
Do you allow one off training sessions? If so how do you get paid?
I think Chesslebanesesalah played John bartholomew in one of his recent videos
This is insane chess
please do another one speedrun after this
Karpov could make 45 moves plans bc the positions look the same anyway
Rook placement. I recall he said earlier in the course to place the rook behind the pawn that will contact in a pawn break. Is that true? I can't begin to thank Danya for this information.
appreciate you dawg
Thank You
Danya can you play the larsen opening?
13:14 wtf is this
Boom goes the dynamite
Play some d4/c3/Nf3 lines with white when 2000+
C4*
Just for those of you watching in 2024 chesslebanesesalah is 2500 now and has the national master title
In king’s Indian, what should blacks do if whites push E5 before you have the time to push E5 yourself ? (00:26)
12:30 if you take immediately is there a reason it doesnt work? If not, that would be an absolute power move.
Nvm rip
@Steve Brown yeah i saw that
Where does he live stream?
I rather enjoy his energy.
Beth Naroditsky
Play the French defense
I can now appreciate why I am rated 1700 and not 2000
13:10 😂
What was that at 25:00 😂
x2 good games
23:09
Obligatory Danya is amazing comment
Hey danya love the series. I think a good idea for openings is to do a poll on TH-cam to see what the most popular opening people want to see is. Keep up the great work :)
3:40
Can anyone recommend me a beginner chess book?
Im stuck at 1500 and I feel like I'm lacking theory.
Jeremy Silman is cool and fun to read author. His book "How to reasess your chess" comes to mind.
way too early squad
same-
When this is done you should do a run where you use at least one other opening
88%...not that good he says lol
I know this is a speed run so you are supposed to level up fast but can you make a series like this but with more games at each rating range
Check out his video library. This is his 45th speed run video. He started at the beginner level. He does two games per video and explains important ideas during and after the game. 👍
@@nathansharp3193 yes so he moves on from one rating range very fast with 4 to 5 games,, I wish there was more games in each rating range like 1700 level 10 games then 10 games with 1800 players
like that
Salah is coming for you and he will destroy you next time
