Thanks for coming to the ChessKid National Festival this weekend. My son got to play you OTB in Bullet and will never forget the experience. He said he knew it was over when you smiled, then saw it.

Any format with Danya as coach is amazing

Daniel Naroblitzky strikes again with some fire content

Morphy flew over to Europe and boy were his arms tired ;)

It’s such a privilege to get a glimpse into the thought process of a GM, however you cut it. Keep going, let’s see where it goes.

As a skeptic of the first video, I’m glad you stuck with what you wanted to do and with your gut with what would be most instructive even if I initially disagreed. I’m also glad that you’re planning on sprinkling in some rapid games as a compromise

I always love chess history diversions! Especially involving Morphy. Agadmator's series on him is easily one of my favorite things on KZfaq.

Man was having some serious ptsd flashbacks that 3rd game 😂😂😂. Never again!!

To the skeptics of the 5 min time control: I have been watching instructional chess content on KZfaq for 14 years now. Starting all the way back with ChessExplained’s channel back in the day, which was STRICTLY 5 min games, 3 per video. As John Bartholomew started posting his infamous standard time control games, I fell in love that content format for a very long time, even into the modern Hikaru/Danya/Levi/ChessBrah era. However, if there’s one thing I learned from starting out with years of 5 min content, it’s that the volume absolutely makes up for the quality. Seeing SO many games, with a shorter lag time between opening/middle game choices and their consequences in the endgame, creates strong pattern recognition that standard time videos alone will not be able to achieve. Mixing both time controls into your video-watching regiment will gain you the most rating points. I promise! Give it a chance!

My favorite stuff on KZfaq right now.

Even though you could have taken the Rook on a8 in the game against the d6/c6 defense, "showcasing" worked out very well I think. We got to see you make minor mistakes but to stay on point, recover, and deliver the win. Instructive content no matter what, thank you.

Hi brave man. I really enjoy watching you play and learn from you.

I really love the blitz format❤

The short history-lesson about Morphy was very intersting! :)

My man here can provide in depth analysis after 10 hours of chess streaming, I can hardly talk after 10 hours of anything

Thanks for keeping the 5 min format❤ for those who are stuck with a hectic schedule like me, watching these types of videos is like having a blasst, thank you and have a nice day🎉

Thanks u so much danya ! We'll never say enought that u are the best teacher by far on the internet (despite the fact i'm not speaking native english), u are allowing us to learn premium knowledge for free and we can't thanks u enought for this. All of ur vidéos are exactly what intermediates players need to add some details to their actual process while learning really concrete stuff. Wish u all the best

Very instructive. Love the blitz games since we get to see a variety of different lines in a shorter time span.

Love the shorter time control! Thanks as always Danya

A very lovely new format, since you're capable of explaining a lot even at this high speed :) followed by analysis afterwards. Just another pearl in the string of pearls of your content, very appreciated Daniel Naroditsky! Blagodariu (an old Lithuanian here, learned Russian as a child)

Love the new format and all of your great content. Thanks so much!

Glad to see this series continuing. I've been enjoying following the games and guessing the next move. Also enjoy the sidebars.

Hey! I did say I preferred a longer format but I am still excited (very, indeed) for this speedrun. I love all of your videos and I appreciate the value in all of them. I'm sure the shorter format is goung to be great too! Thank you for considering our oppinion

Great job Danya, thank you, keep going!

Frankfurt Airport was a legendary speedrun, a king among speedruns that will never be forgotten nor ever it will be surpassed. But other formats are interesting too.

Danya this is perfect. Thank you so much ❤

Great video and series Danya! Keep going :D

Game 3 analysis: because here I have an escape for the knight. The escape for the knight: DIE

The best kind of speedrun is whatever kind of speedrun motivates Danya to keep posting content. Whatever you do, don't stop!

I very much like this new format - I think it's excellent and informative content.

It’s amazing how instant his evaluation of every position is

Thanks Danya.Always enjoy you're chess lessons.

I like very much this format. I'm a person that don't have enough time to play rapid games, so all my matches consist in bullet or blitz. Tyvm Danya, the best content i had ever seen about chess

cheers Danny, I really enjoy these.

Great content. About half the time I see the move...but not the full reasoning behind it. The explanation of each is so helpful.

I had nothing to eat , sleeping like a rat in my car for 2 years. But thanks to Mr Danya , i learned chess instincts and became the first IM from my country. Danya changed my life and others life.

Excellent content, thank you Danya

I love this format and the snippets of chess history!!!

Love the history lesson!!

I see, I click

Thank you Danya! This speedrun is just what i need. Since i often lose on time

Great video...I am fine with any format you do in the speed run 😊

This is fantastic content Danya. Sharing your painful loss as a learning tool for others earns more respect from me than watching you instructively win other games or playing against stronger opponents.

Love the new Speedrun format

The 5 min format works great because the level of a Danya game in this format is still greater than that of anyone watching the video, AND he is still able to explain what he is doing, AND we get more games for the "money". There is no downside. Thank you Danya!!!

The check and pin one was crazy thanks for the vid🔥

Beatiful 2nd game :)) Karpov style :)

I like the format and the full emersion in terms of chess strategy & tactics and chess history!

Great video! Thank you so much!!!

Thankyou for not taking the rook @26:11. you are a great Teacher , Sir.

Thanks! Exciting!

Thank you Daniel 🎉❤

So excited for your kings indian course! Love the new speedrun

Love these. Thank you Sensei

Thank you Daniel

Best chess tutorial setup! Definitely keep this way

Thanks Danya, i'll take instructional content in whatever way you provide it

5 minutes is good! Keep it up!

Your brain works so quickly I’ve always struggled with patience in games and I found myself enjoying 15 minute rapid chess now as I think of your voice even if it’s just during calculation 😭

Thank you for the historical tangent! Don’t be afraid to go through that. As a very low rated player who doesn’t seem to be able to find the time to develop my skills, it is really enlightening to hear stories that make the game more interesting and tangible. Human even.

Five minutes games are so good, Keep doing them!

Danya, I really enjoyed the historical diversion. It kind of flows nicely and naturally from the game and it could be an idea for a future series perhaps.

as long as you're happy doing this speedrun we'll be happy watching it 😊

I'm a big fan of the new format. Keep it up

You're great, I really appreciate your content and knowledge. :-) Thank you and All the Best!

thank you dude we love it❤

Love the content and here for more! Just gotta say it’s hilarious (and wonderful) that a speed run includes pulling out a physical book to see if it mentions the opera game 😂

❤️❤️❤️ you are great!

I like both formats. I like your deeper dives in rapid, but I like the way in the blitz games you get to see more openings in one video. I feel like seeing a wider range of positions and games is as good as going deeply into 1.

commenting to help please the algorithm gods. i will simply state the obvious that this is the most instructive chess channel there is

Big, big respect for walking through that upset loss. I'm 2100 USCF, and I cringe at the thought of me reviewing my worst upset losses, let alone sharing them publicly with others. Clearly that's the sort of mental block you gotta get through to get to a strong GM level. Huge props.

5 minute format works really well, and is a good supplement to the 15/10 videos you already have. Keep it up!

thank you sensei

"you dont always have to play for checkmate, you can just take material". wise words. ive lost lots of blitz game due to time, and me trying to find checkmates.

I surprisingly liked the history part ‼️ At first when I read the title I thought I'd probably skip it (sorry😂) but I was surprised I found it informative and entertaining (or is it the way Danya explains things that makes them interesting? ) I actually would like if you throw such diversions in your videos from time to time 🙏 Today as well thank you for posting such helpful content ❤

"I'm not going to show the opera game" proceeds to give factual lecture on the opera game! Love it! (Watched a short of the opera game inbetween the lecture- golden game!)

My GM! Edit: One of my favorite things about chess is it's history. The fact that Naroditsky stopped the analysis just to read part of Paul Murphy's memoir is fantastic and a great show of a scholar in the game of chess. The chess world is a great place to be a part of!

GGs !~Thanks Danya ! You got it brother ! The idea ! Movie Producers , movie directors ! Paull Morphy THE MOVIE !! The world needs this movie. The chess world needs this movie. Americans and Europeans would love this film. The whole world would love this movie... This would be an absolute box office hit ! And I want a guest appearance in this epic film. There are so many super talented people that could make this epic chess film ! ITS TIME TO MAKE "Paul Morphy" THE MOVIE. I cant wait to go and see this Film. BTW Hollywood needs a smash hit film like this. Now who would I get to play the parts ? Lets do this ! THE TRUE STORY OF PAUL MORPHY !! no problem YOUR WELCOME !

Goat Daniel

Thanks

All instructional, but game 3 was great for me. I love seeing the process of knowing when to attack all in and when to slow down .

Great photo on the thumbnail Danya. Loving this series!

I just don't know how I would've played a move like A4 there....thanks for your content as always Danya!

cant wait until he gets to 2000. This is the only EDUCATIONAL bltiz speedrun (not like hikaru troll speedrunks) and there would be a lot to learn

I'm finding the shorter game format of this new speedrun very good. You give us plenty of explanation upon completion of each game, And we get perhaps 3 games per video instead of only one. Plus, for better or worse, in practice many online players prefer blitz games rather than longer time controls. So they might as well learn how to play better at the time control they are most likely to actually use.

Ive got feedback that I didn't put on the last video - would you consider mixing up the opening repertoire between games like you did in older speedruns? I think it appeals to a wider audience and allows us to see a larger variety of types of positions. I personally found a lot more instructive value when you mixed it up. Thanks for the quality vids :)

"we're not going to go that deep into the opera game guys but...'Morphy's early childhood...'" 😂but i did love the history.

Love you DNasty

Didn’t get a chance to write a comment on the last video but super excited to see some shorter games. I wonder if you could spend some time in this speed-run talking about making candidate move lists. Personally as an intermediate player I think the more moves I consider the more likely I am to choose a great move. It’s often less about deep calculation in 1 line and more about broadly looking at a position and being disciplined to look for multiple moves before making a decision. Love the content, thanks.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. In that spirit, maybe a bookshelf tour in the future? It would be very interesting what other books you have in hand.

I think there was more time for reflection during the 10 or 15 min Speedruns, but nevertheless your teachings are simply the best. Entertaining and educationonal. It might be because the ratinglevel is more basic here. Or maybe less space for pedagogic qustions to the audience. Anyway you're by far the most inspiring teacher. Many thanks!!

Honestly here 22:04 as you said in the video i think it would have been easier to understand the conversion with knight takes rook, i love your videos and I think you add an excpetional educational value to the Chess world but sometimes i feel like during these sppedruns you could have played more at the level of you opponent so that people at that level could really grasp and take advantage of the situations that actually happen in their game. This is Just an observation that doesnt diminish your work and the instructional value of your videos!😊

Tyvm to GM Danya for doing this after 10 hours online🤯

It would be lovely to see your take on the games that Magnus did ❤

Best chess channel hands down

The return of Naroblitzky!

i prefer this format to the longer games. as someone who doesn't have time to play longer games myself, it's more interesting to see the logic and gut reactions you get during shorter games. That said, there's still plenty of time for you to talk about your moves during the game too, so it's not like we're not getting informative content during the game.

not gonna lie i was really skeptical of it going in but i like it, you've convinced me🙂

The one thing that is even better than a new speedrun video is a new speedrun video with a chess history diversion

Thank you for continuing this. As you said, I think having more games per video helps much more in developing instincts.
