The duality of Daniel Naroditsky: The desire to produce educational content for lower-rated players and the desire to crush noobs who don't want to resign
That card game analogy is perfect, incredibly instructive. I play a lot of trading card games, and a lot of the strategic concepts of chess do carry over. Timing, move order, passive vs active, real threats vs empty threats, etc.
Thank you for these videos Danya. I realized I became significantly better at attacking with white after watching these, and have started winning much faster.
Bro seriously, I was so confused how a 1300 could use such basic tactics... I know decent tactics and overall good development yet somehow stuck at 900. How could someone even play this bad at this rank? Like cardinal sins being made
@@ApexTrading it's easy to be good against other 900s. if you played Danya you would look terrible too. it's easier to play against someone with 50% accuracy than it is against a GM whose every move would put you under pressure.
13:53 I don't know. If the guy is stubborn enough to not resign while down TWENTY-FIVE points of material, I think it's fair to torture him long enough to deilver a cool checkmate lol
Does anyone else come back and watch some of these and realize they’ve seen it before? When Danya shared that bit about ordering “well done” steak I thought it was very funny the first time and it made me realize I’ve seen this video like 3 or 4 times over the past couple years
Yesterday I had the same position as white after 4... Qh4. I stupidly played 5 g3! Afterwards I analysed my game and the best move for white is 5 Be3. Daniel played Qf3 which is probably the second best. 5 Bxf7 is another alternative. After 5.. Kxf7, you can play 6 Qd5+ Ke8 and 7 g3 and pick up the knight after the queen has moved.
I highly recommend y’all watch his stream when he does the speed run bc he plays a bunch of games and provides a lot of insight on them like how he does in these videos
It's funny to think about how screwed his opponents are in these games. Even if the opponent did make it out of the opening up a pawn or something, he would still get crushed. Instead he lost his knight out of the opening and then got crushed.
This one was more Daniel's opponent trying to get in an easily-stopped f2 mate at any cost. They could've just played the game but instead end up throwing away all their pieces trying to force a checkmate that wasn't happening.
LMAO @15:07 Danya used the word "dispense" and it was actually, "dispel (once and for all) with this fiction (that Barack Obama) doesn't know what he's doing he knows exactly what he's doing." Close enough. The only reason I remember is because I voted for Rubio in the primaries. lol
It’s such a weird old reference to pull from. A weird thing a weird little man who didn’t become president said in an otherwise forgettable debate from like six years ago. Something I totally forgot about until now. Love Danya so much.
At 11:50 couldn’t you play Bishop c5? Or am I missing something? Oh I did. The pawn would help if rook d6. Oh, now he just said it was good. Honestly I can’t visualize that far ahead.
So you are saying if you want to eat your opponent medium rare you use your bishop, and if you want them well done you take with a queen? What if I want to eat them alive? :)
It's so annoying when players just refuse to resign when there's absolutely no chance of winning. Like bro you've lost all your pieces while your opponent still has four plus three more pawns. Fucking resign, have some dignity and respect.
I gotta say, I'm more impressed by a fast, natural mate than some contrived sequence that ends in a pawn mate or castling mate. Another streamer that I like quite a bit goes out of his way to engineer those sorts of things and it always strikes me as borderline poor sportsmanship.
The name he was laughing about was Barry_mckaukkinner.
I dont get it

9:18 And he muted it hahah
Thanks, I was just about to ask.
Can someone explain?
Opponent: "HA, he's spending a lot of time on a move, he must be stumped!"

8:32 opponent: My last move got him thinking for a while
Meanwhile Danyas telling a steak story
Castling into checkmate is the chess equivalent of 360 no scoping your opponent in a quick scope 1v1
Well said
I wasted an extra ~20 moves against a friend using a discord chess bot just to get that sweet sweet O-O-O#.
En passant mate has got to be like doing that while jumping off a ladder and switching weapons mid-air
Your content is very educational and you are a great teacher, glad I found this channel.

This is some of the best chess content out there for learning. Love this speed run Danya!
Big fan of the consistency of these amazing and well done videos. Much thanks as always Danya!~
This speedrun is better than reminiscing over Yasser's story about Geller and Anatoly Karpov after a Fabiano Marijuana game.
Ahh my favorite player. Mr marijuana
Gex post
What is the story? I couldn’t find a link anywhere

Hi Danya just out of curiosity: do you plan on doing a chess hot tub stream someday? thanks for the educational content!
Underwater speedrun where computer is in the bottom of the tub and he has to go up for breath. :D

Thank you so much for these classes. I am learning a lot
The opponents plan looks to be attack the queen with every move even if they lose pieces for no reason as a result lol
And apparently that will get you to 1300
@@julius_3361 Absolutely. 1300 only seems good to beginners.

Danya is so wholesome when he smiles
Yo logic jumping in the chat is absolutely insane. GZA should jump into the stream next!
Shout out to the Marco Rubio meme Danya
Thirsty Rubio knows exactly what he's doing, so let's dispel once and for all with the notion that he doesn't.
Can I just say the thumbnails for this series have been very tasty
You can
Damn was really looking forward to that O-O-O#
My man gave up every piece... he was about to give up his car keys
There is only ONE DANYA. Legend.
Does anyone else come back and watch some of these and realize they’ve seen it before?

Whoa this is a great video!
1:56 is a transposition into a line of the urusov gambit (e4,e5,Bc5,Nf6,d4,Nxe4,dxe5) which is completely winning for white

Hahah thanks Evan. Was looking for this comment. Great question Borrio
Thanks for the content

nice reference 15:06
Alright Let's Go.
love ur content daniel
Was the game at 0:01 in the youtube series?
9:18
I'm extremely here for quality chess content that contains burns of Marco Rubio.
Great Danny👍👍👍!!

All roads lead to getting crushed by Danya

aha! the centre game yessss!
Why aren't all speed run games uploaded? Like the one at the very start of this video?
lmao at the marco rubio reference
Danya knows *exactly* what he's doing!

Really useful!!
With the amount of times Daniel talked about castling this episode I almost thought I was watching Hikaru
Rookie mistake from Danya. I always go above and beyond and order my steak BEST-done.
carbonized

You're correct! He should have played it at 12:14.
hilarious game
was that the actual rapper logic in chat?
2:44 Wouldn't Qe4+ win the rook after fxg3?
thanks

it was Barry_Mckaukkiner lmao
@@serge7167 that's perfect.
Thumbnails are so pretty
Moar! Yes, thanks man.
i didnt get the steak analogy though
Medium rare is where it’s at.
Will somebody ever accept the gambit... (taking all 3 pawns)
Still waiting for that
Gut
How is that 1300 hanging every other piece.
How can he not take en passant when possible?
3:15 could he play bishop c5
Danish: 0:21
whatta guy
Best chess player ever in my opinion i don't care
Queen odds to 2K would be awesome. He will lose some games but I think it is possible, maybe only for Blitz though.
Meow mix meow mix please deliver
I wish 1200s would play like 900s for me
What was the funny name he kept chuckling about?
Someone with the name Barry_McKuckinner donated on stream and he read it outloud
_He's clearly trolling about _*_Well Done_*_ steak being superior to _*_Medium Rare_*_ only my dad eats that way lol_
It is objectively better
he was talking about his naivete when young, not his preferences now
day 8 of saying you're the best daniel! Thank you for the wonderful content.
So you are saying if you want to eat your opponent medium rare you use your bishop, and if you want them well done you take with a queen? What if I want to eat them alive? :)
Then you take counselling
All these Poor 1300s thinking they’ve Got an easy Game Against a lowly 1200, only to get absolutley smashed😂😂😂
wish he hadn't muted Barry lol

Who hurt those who disliked the video?

Hello
Danya, I hope you’ve changed your steak eating ways. Well done is inferior to medium, and is not the better steak. At least medium!
He's over 1300??!! I wish I can meet these 1300s.
Some of these players’ rankings seem highly inflated, I’ve never played such poor 12 and 1300 players
