Danya apologizing that his 45-120 minute free educational chess videos that far, far outshines any free chess instruction available (and a decent amount of paid instruction) are coming once every 4-5 days instead of every other day, for like, a couple weeks is so funny to me. You spoil us!!

These games against 2000-2100 players are perfect. They know theory, they make strong moves and the mistakes they commit are small, so it's super instructive to see how to punish those. Pure gold.

I hate it when Daniel apologises, bro you are teaching a university level course in chess for free, your content is always worth the wait.

27:24 Danya saying "Lemme think for a second" and proceeds to think exactly for a second :D

Can't thank you enough for putting these out for free danya, you are one of the best teachers I've ever seen in my whole life, watching your videos I've gone from 1250-1950. amazing.

Never apologise for letting real life "intrude" on streaming. I love your lessons & speedruns, thanks 🙂

One of my favorite parts of these videos is how excited Danya gets about tactics that he finds. He has real passion for chess!

what lucky boys we are to be able to witness Daniel "Naroblitzky" "Sensei Danya" Naroditsky the Michael Jordan of Chess relay his understanding of the London System to us

36:28 that's naroditsky's voice without a human voice changer.

Danya is my role model for my own career, so disciplined, so perfect.

You are truly one of the best teachers of all time. No kidding. Humble, amazing and good at teaching. Wow. We've got the whole package right here

There are many entertaining chess channels on YoutTube, but when it comes to educational contents then nothing beats Daniel Naroditsky!

hey Daniel, I think it would be helpful to have the PGN in the video description so people can work through some of the positions at home easily. Love the vids!

Hi Daniel, I watched this speed run game on stream and found it one of the best ones that you’ve done. I just wanted to say thank you for all the content that you do; it’s safe to say that you are the best teacher (of any subject) that I’ve ever had. I’ve recently bought the Jobava course, and although only 8 hours in, I am absolutely loving some of the lines, and can’t wait to start using it in my games once I’ve covered a bit more of it. Furthermore, I’ve just started a new job teaching chess over the summer while I’m at home from university, and I attribute getting this job mainly down to your inspiring teaching, and a desire to do what I can to emulate that to my own students (albeit at a far lower level). Thanks again, Andrew

I just found this guy on yt, are all of his videos this good? Well done Danya, this was so educational I want to put everything you said into my brain

This is what I've been looking for! True analysis that doesn't suffer from being cut short for the sake of not trying to bore us or tryna make me pay for a course bundle, you have my sub brother, thank you

The content is worth the wait. And the chess world is blessed you choose to travel and teach live.

36:26 that line was so pleasing that Danya turned into Stockfish ahahahah

man I recently started to watch Daniel. This content is gold for sure 👏

I enjoy every stream of yours, especially the speedruns. The fact that i watched it on stream, but i enjoy rewatching it on KZfaq says everything.

We can never say enough times how lucky we are to have all this amazing content for free. Being able to see in the mind of a GM is really a privilege. I'm recommending your channel to every chess player I know. Thank you very much for everything you do.

For those who can afford neither books nor online courses, it is great that there are so many videos available on KZfaq that teach chess, and in particular openings. One really feels like a "member of the club" if one knows what is meant by all the variation names.

Danya your videos are SO DAMN GOOD. Your explanations are put into terms that make everyone understand every single subtlety in the position. These help so much and are for free!!

Daniel, thanks for all the speed runs. I’ve loved them and really appreciate the quality teaching.

I'm late to the party but holy smokes it's crazy how it goes from just a couple pieces on the board all the way to that seemingly fake position of all the pieces jumbled up in the corner

Danya is a GM chess player, but a Super GM chess explainer/instructor. From this video I learned a zillion things about different facets of chess, including an extremely useful introduction to a dynamic system against the annoying (but ubiquitous) London System.

37:09 i never saw a position like this, 27 points of material cramped in a 3x3 square

This is easily my favorite chess channel on KZfaq! The logic with which he plays each move is simply astounding! Yes, chess is complicated, but given how *Danya* explains the rationale for each move, the game is also quite enjoyable! (try analyzing out loud with the clock ticking!) Also, he's an amazing chess commentator, my favorite, along with *Tanya* (as well as David Howell and Peter Leko)! All of them give chess a good name!

Daniel is my favourite KZfaq chess streamer. I learn so much from watching his videos. It's such a privilege to be able to hear a top Grandmaster explain his thought process during a game. And Daniele is definitely one of the best teachers of chess.

As always your videos are filled with clear and concise explanations. Thanks for the great content

Hey Danya, I hope you continue sharing the knowledge as you’ve always done brother Thank you 🙏🏼!!

Don't forget to hit the "like" button folks. It sure looks like he gets a lot more views than he gets likes and that's not right.

Thank you for your work on teaching the game we love ❤ It is truly appreciated

This is probably the most instructive chess content on KZfaq. So glad I discovered your channel

Professor Naroditsky, you are amazing! My game has been significantly elevated since I started following you.

Your videos are great Daniel, it helps with finding small imperfections that do not seem like that at the eyes of less experienced players. Thank you for the content!

Hey danya idk if you read these or not but we understand you are a busy person in real life. Your following is great and real and the support is real! Thank you for the content and we are glad you are still making youtube content!

I have become so much better at chess simply by having similar conversations with myself in my head, where I explain to myself the weakness created after every move my opponent makes. These speedruns have helped me enormously

Yay, another masterpiece from the GOAT of chess teaching. Enjoy these more than the 10+0 games because you really take the time to explain all the nuances during the game about what's going on in your head. I would have never even considered Qc7 there for instance, but you explained it so well.

Thank you so much sensei for all these sppedruns-lectures. You are the best my man! Much love!

I learn a lot -- of actionable things -- from your videos. Thanks!

One of the best Chess lessons I have ever had! Thanks, Danya!

Danya you are amazing, thank you! I have watched a good handful of your videos and this one is just especially captivating and intriguing. A true masterclass of a video, and a master of teaching.

Thank you for this, is was very deep and instructive. It's thorough brah! I'm the type to enjoy type of struggle. Hope you make it to numero uno! aight I saw at the end how you said that " you don't clickbait". Much appreciated. Your stuff is really good.

Wow! You’re so awesome Danya. My favorite chess instructor hands down!!!

You do explain very well the position GM Danya , the way to develop our pieces to put good pressure on the opponent who makes some inaccuracies ... !!! it is always instructive to listen to your advices .. Thanks a lot ... : ))

Thanks for sharing your insights into the game. It’s very helpful.

Insane content! You learn so much here thanks mate

Your Explanation playing style is super super cool. Your teaching style is my favourite in KZfaq in all the chess channels.

I love speedruns. please upload them more regular

Excellent video lecture..... keep on keeping on... thank you

great explained! Thank's so much

Just the best! Thank you Daniel.

Making play tactical when you are positionally losing has a probabilistic interpretation. If the expected value of your distribution is negative, at least, try to increase its variance so that you have a hope to end up in positive territory.

This is beautiful, thank you!

Always amazing content!

loved the explanations... I will watch it again...

I agree his voice sounds far more at home doing this than commentary, he is a natural teacher. Thanks Daniel

Thanks Danny, great class!!

This was brilliant again!!

Thank you for posting these. You are the best, never mind that these do not come often. I've studied the jobava london system and against it as black I play d5 and bishop f5. Then close with e6 and a timely c5 would open the queen side. Best regards

Muchas gracias Daniel, excelente. Me encantó.

Man love you and your videos.❤

truly great video danya. most ive learned from a chess video

Thanks for the most practical advice to an opening I run into all the time. I like the Nimzo system that's why.

Love your work Daniel

Another excellent video. Thank you

Amazing commentary, had to split it between morning, afternoon and night hahaha

One of the most instructive chess video's I've seen in a long time! As an avid London player, I've once faced this line as white, I panicked after cxd4 and retreated with my f4 bishop to c1 in order to protect b2. Fortunately my opponent mishandled the position, but knowing Nc3 or Na3 even exist makes me feel like I've immediately gained 50 ELO points. Thanks Daniel!

One of your best videos. Thx

Really excellent game and analysis. I've been playing the Modern with C5 against the London but this is much more elegant, can't wait to try it out

Hello Daniel! I'd like to make a suggestion: 1. When you give us a positional idea (such as "making a move that doesn't damage our position") it would be marvelous if you could show what that idea would look like *for the opponent*. Something like "if we apply that same idea for white, the natural positional moves could be 1... 2... 3... etc" Thank you for the amazing video as always :)

these videos are absolutely amazing

Really useful opening analysis! I’m inspired

Thanks for doing this !

Thank you! Will apply this system to my games!

Pure gold. Thank you.

great stuff!

I'm so happy you chose this line this is my favorite line as well

I really really like your Speedrun explanation your the best 💕

Nice to have you back :)

those london system tactics were some of the maddest opening tactics in a "sound opening" I've ever seen^

Even if the Sensei is uploaoding fewer videos lately, there's much more instructive content in only one of these videos than in 10 videos of any other chess youtuber. Once again: thank you (as a more concrete thank you I have purchased Danya's Master Method and the Jobava London Study and they're both great) 😘

0:03 Thank you very much for putting out such top quality chess videos!

Always great.. Always entertaining..

I play d4 but never learned a good way to play against it - Love the video!

Best chess instructor on YT. Thank you!

amazing!

Put pieces not pawns on weak squares In closed positions, the value of a tempo diminishes (more time to do quiet moves) Don't be afraid of maneuvering pieces / backward moves When losing, make it tactical, to put opponent in an incomfortable position and increase your chances Chose moves that maintain flexibility Man. Danya droping those concepts for free and with games to back up. I'm loving it! You'd think those concepts should be obvious, but applying them in a game is not. Sometimes you need to listen to someone tell it to you to internalize it better.

Thanks for this Danya. ❤

Incredibly high quality content as always

I remember this opponent, he put up a great fight the last time both of you played against each other.

grindy positional games is why the caro kann plus how to reassess ur chess is some of my fav chess

Thank you so much

Daniel, I’ve been checking every day for a new video, please release something soon 😭

Danya you're the best teacher! thankyou!

I recently started playing c5 aftwr watching these vids. Now I let out a sigh when playing against the london. That is all I could ever ask for thank you.

Thank you so much for the game, Danya! It's a huge honor to be broken down into (chess) pieces by you. You are an amazing chess teacher and an incredibly entertaining content creator. You helped my chess a lot. Please continue being so great! I need to take a closer look into the lines with an early c5. I don't think I've ever faced this exact line after move 3 or 4. Even though I ended up with almost all my pieces in the corner, I'm not really unhappy with my game. Very instructive destruction. I only started playing the London a few months ago, after playing exclusively e4 before. I really appreciate the London (tributes to Alex Banzea for his London course on chessable), and I hope this game will help me to become a better London player. Thank you Danya, you are amazing!

Another pain killer thx very much for this.

amazing game and amazing analysis
