Naroditsky for Nobel chess prize.

2 man operation?! This is the best chess content on KZfaq. I've learned more from this channel by far than any other source

Ive known that Danya is a KID player from the various speedruns but this is the first time I feel like he has really shown how deeply he knows all the lines.

I think that was the longest laid plan which was successfully executed on a speedrun video, with a couple of ad-breaks on the queen-side. Absolutely unbelievable plan which worked out so well like a movie script. How can Danya ever top this?

I've been in love with the Averbakh since the last time Danya showed it, but always struggled to make progress after h5-g5 closed the kingside. I'd end up sac-ing the bishop too early and usually lose, but this taught me so many cool ideas like delaying f3, how to reroute the knight, the Rb1 resource to deal with black's a3 and the need to connect the rooks without castling before Bxg5. So excited to take these ideas into my games!

16:05 "This bishop is terrible, it's a big pawn." LMAO

This is my favorite speedrun episode of all time, and I watched all of them! Much love from Italy, thanks for all of the amazing lessons ❤

This was such an in-depth line and it blows my mind how casually you explained all the moves and ideas which pay of 5-7 moves later. Absolutely awesome!! I hope you make a series or some long videos explaining some of the famous openings used at high level. I'd definitely watch them all.

22:40 he mentions having an immortal idea but he never explains it in the post game analysis :(

This lesson felt like a proper chess army tactical plan put into perfect execution

Your channel may not be the biggest but it definitely is the best for top level instructive content Danya, thank you so much for your continued dedication!

You are my favourite KZfaq chess teacher ❤️🔥

For me this was one of your most impressive games. Great manoeuvring game.

Im 1650 rapid and always play this with white. I had a couple ideas of how to attack, but this gave me more insights and also a name for my opening. Really great breakdown

You are probably the world's leading expert in KID. Would love to see more games in this opening from white side and black side 🙂

This was perfect. I don't play, nor against, the King's Indian, but this perfectly demonstrated several motifs the aggressor should follow when attacking a squirmy, closed "come at me" type defense such as this.

I think the potential of pieces is the hardest concept for new players to understand. The activity of a piece directly and strongly correlates with its future prospects. Just because a knight is on an outpost for example doesn't make it active if it can't go to any squares and sometimes it needs to come back and be redeployed. A piece pointed at a weak pawn often has the best kind of activity because it has the potential to capture a pawn and when weak pawns fall there tends to be a cascade effect because often the defending sides entire position collapses since their play leading up to that point was to defend that pawn. Thus the position of their pieces no longer makes sense and now the absence of that pawn creates more weaknesses in their position. The knight on f5 in this game would be pointed at two weak pawns and every forward square in Black's position is a potential landing space. That knight might be the most valuable knight possible behind only a knight giving checkmate. Therefore, just the potential of going to that square already constitutes a lot of activity as black's options become very limited because they cannot allow the knight to land on f5 free of charge. Very instructive illustration of how the threat can be stronger than the execution even if the threat is just positional.

Danya: "If a plan costs more than a few moves you should abandon it." Also Danya: *takes 7 turns to move a knight to a better square* smh, how can one heuristic not be applicable in all possible situations. Now I have to think for myself instead of memorizing some rules.

Thank you mucho for this averbakh variation Danya! I was really struggling so much against the king's indian

Can't say enough about how great these videos are! Thanks man!

Such an instructive game, especially with your commentary. I learnt a lot!

I don't really have anything to say other than I love this series and I try to leave a comment on each video because it helps the KZfaq algorithm.

Daniel Naroditsky you are an incarnation of a literal chess god. Plz don't ever in your life stop this series. It is a haven of knowledge for us commoners.

So glad Danya toned down on absolute beginner-friendly explanations. These last few games have been some of his best content to date.

If I could only keep one KZfaq channel it would be this one. Awesome content.

An unreasonably instructive game. Nicely done

Very instructive, clear explanations , we appreciate you Danya 🙌

Terrific content Danya. Keep it coming!

I've watched all the speedrun videos and this is one of the best. Nice one, Danya.

That was one of the most elegant win I think I ever seen. Like the position played itself. Beautifull game - thank You!

i love this series!! so interesting and helpful to hear you explain your moves to such a high degree. keep it up :)

Thank you, Daniel! What a great insight into those types of closed positions. I have learned so much about this wonderful game from the angle you teach at. #1 DN.

There are levels to this chess thing. Wow, Danya!

That Nxg4 counter-sac is *immediately* going into use in my games. Wow!!

Fantastic content man thank you!

amazing as always

I learned so much from this video Danya! I regularly encounter the position (or very similar) that you reached after about 10 moves (usually transposing from 1.c4). Right through to the very end of the game I was constantly picking up new positional and tactical ideas from your explanation. Thanks very much

if Danya is talking King's Indian, listen up. this guy knows the KID probably better than anyone else on the planet, except for maybe (maybe) a handful of people

I love the premieres! You get to discuss the game with other people in chat and it's a fantastic experience. Please do more premieres!

Very instructive video!

Love this series

Absolutely fantastic video.

Very instructive game. Thanks for the quality content.

One of the best videos ever thank you so much sir!! Please don't stop making these videos .....We all love you

As someone really trying to improve my chess I find you to be the most articulate teacher here on yt. Thank you for these videos Danya

Would love to see more d4 openings, great content keep going !

Thank Danya, you make very useful content!

Amazing game, superbly explained!

loved this video! great stuff Danya. Can't believe you haven't reached 1M subscribers yet. Where else can one get such great chess advice from a real super GM... Thanks

i love seeing him playing the kings indian, it is like seeing magic

Great video! Every time a watch this speed run I learn something, this video just tops it all off!!! 😁

Recently discovered already my favorite chesschannel. would love to see more about the averbakh

Thanks Danya for continuing to give your time to give us the great content. By far my favorite chess content provider. You explain chess so well.

danya: "i remember a game where i was down 3 queens and a rook, but i managed to draw/win against my opponent"

Very instructive King's Indian game. I think this was more instructive than the previous one's I've seen. Much simpler to understand the key concepts in these variations at least.

Hey Master, I really appreciate your lessons, you got me fighting side to side with strong players in my village!

My favorite chess KZfaqr....and it's not even close! Thanks for all of the great content.

I learned a lot from this video, thank you sensei.

great video! As a d4 player I really enjoyed this game

This was a great game. Strong opposition familiar with the opening, tactics and fantastic explanations of strategic ideas

Good stuff

Oh and I love the way that you are so interesting and instructional

I'm certain I haven't missed a single upload from the Sensei but this game and the explanations were so incredible, I've watched this 3 times in a row. Sounds mental but it kept getting better with every repetition. Thanks to the black player who played such an awesome game as well.

I don't understand how this guy's channel is not growing faster, he is doing such a great job with these videos. Love you Danya (even my autocorrect is correcting his name to Santa lol)

I think this whole h4-Nf5 idea is on par with that one insane Queen‘s Indian Greek Gift if anybody remembers that. Outstanding. And I‘d like to quote that previous video here: „Just because computers exist doesn‘t mean there no longer is any magic hidden in chess. Actually it means that now we can appreciate the magic even more!“ In my opinion, seeing the engine spit out Nxg4 as a critical resource for Black isn‘t souring the combination for me, it lets me learn without worshipping false idols so to speak.

Naroditsky on demand creates live instructive games and gives masterly demonstrations. His commentary is superlative - concentrating on themes and being light on 'lines'.

Can’t tell you how good the quality of these videos are.

Thank you for this chess lesson, you are the best, God bless you 🙏👍

This game is an excellent example of a GM's skill. A magnificent vision of the position's future. Learned a ton!!!.

This game was a symphony

Thank you Daniel

this guy. this guys is a wild man

Moves like Rb1 or the subtlety of playing Kf2 instead of Kf1 are mind blowing.

15min games is perfect! Very well explained, love your vids!

Very nice attack 👌🏼

11:51 "black is gonna murder us on the queenside" 😂

I can watch these videos all day ... great content

All my homies love GM DANIEL NARODITSKY

On move 13, Nxg5 was winning according to SF. Aside from that insane sac for long term compensation, these closed type of positions remind me of computer chess games where it seems that black has a blockade/fortress, but usually does not. See games 98 and 100 from the TCEC Season 23 Super Final and see how Stockfish crushes Lc0 in a closed position to learn more.

Thanks a lot Daniel, this content has really helped me improve! now a 2200 and going

Wow. truly a beautiful game. Connecting the rooks with Kf2 before opening with the attack was like watching a boxer tape his hands before a fight.

Bro really called his dark square bishop a Big Pawn 😭😂😂

Watched the game open-mouthed. Looking forward to the analysis later... 👏👏

Amazing attacking showcase

This made my day ❤

My favorite content on KZfaq hands down.

Great game!

Would love to see more kings indian games from either side. So many different lines to explore

NO way. My favourite variation Thanks Danya

Great explanations as always! It's making me want to consider playing d4 or the KID.

This is a FANTASTIC chess channel.

The mark of a good teacher is anticipating the doubts of his students in advance and covering them, and he does that quite effortlessly, covering all the nuances and possibilities in a position. I can watch this all day.

Masterful game

Danya playing my favourite line as white in my favourite opening? Dreams do come true 🙃

Thank you danya senseiii, i learn a lot. i hope i can win my next tournament on oct 11.

This is one of the most complicated game in the speedrun

Full menu from Daniel, awesome.

thanks

I love super closed games like this.
