l love how he searches a game from 15 years ago when he was 10 years old by memory and I go into a room just to forget what I'm doing

15:48 - "Not every development move has to be equivalent to finding the Coronavirus vaccine." The Prophet with some bangers tonight

Danya is the nicest gm out there. Spending his time to show people that aren't that good how to play better

I remember when I first saw that it was called a "speedrun" I did not expect such helpful and thorough commentary

Most GMs are terrible teachers because they expect we know all the stuff that is obvious to them. Great job Danya, you are the exception, wonderful explanations, keep up the great work!

0:52 "he's gone c3, xqc-style" - this opening is now commonly known as the Sicilian Defence, xQc variation. The main advantage of this opening is that white has a high probability of being checkmated within 6 moves.

"Rumor has it I've played a couple of bullet games in my life" lmao 3440 rating

The greatest chess series on youtube!

This is so good that Daniel deserves another bathroom break

3 day streaaaaak! Watched this one woth my dad. I showed him ur channel and he got back into it. Hasnt played since highschool. He was a solid 1800 back in his day and still got it. He hasnt stopped playing amd watching ur channel.

Love the Bill O'Reilly intro xD

"People are just kind of aimlessly floundering around" Stop watching my chess games plz

TIMESTAMPS: 1. 1227; black vs ctdcunha (0:20), analysis (18:42) 2. 1253; white vs german0400 (6:47), analysis (24:31) 3. 1243; black vs sirota9 (14:06), analysis (27:41)

This series is amazing! I'm learning more from these games than from almost any other series or source I've ever come across.

I love the Bill O'Reily reference at the beginning. Looking forward to the rest of this instructive speedrun.

lmao i love the intro "ill do it live!!" got to love bill orielly meltdown video. love you daniel for that one

litterally the only thing that could be improved is to add timestamps

Honestly Daniel has built such a wonderful community, just reading the comments is nice.

I love when he’s talking and they do something bad and he’s “okay”. It’s always exactly what he was about to warn against them doing haha.

My improvement has been astounding since finding your channel! My thought pattern is so much more sophisticated. Thank you!

I just love watching these and hearing how a gm can describe why amateur chess players like me make bad moves. It all makes perfect logical sense but when I try to implement in my own games I’m usually just as bad as before lol !

I just found this channel like two days ago and it has become on my of favourites because I´m learning so much! Usually other channels teach to advanced players, but not to people like me who are just begginer-medium players with so much to learn. Thank you for that.

I could seriously watch this guy play chess against 1200s all day.

Really appreciate your videos man, plainly explaining your thinking process with each move so any level player can understand. A lot of other streamers come off a little arrogant when denouncing certain moves while you simply analyze why it does or doesn’t work.

I watch a lot of Hikaru and other great streamers however I def learn the most from this 'Speedrun'! I Truly feel I'll be able to go up a few hundred points, 1400-1650 or so. Gotta love those Botez gambit references....never get old haha.

I love this speedrun and can see the effects of it.Even though the progress is slow for me,it definetly is there.

Loving the series! We’ll see how much sticks lol Also, “We’ll do it live!” in the intro is great!

GM Daniel "danya" Naroditsky aka the prophet aka habibi dance king

I’ve been hit by the weakness of d6 in the Taimanov Sicilian enough to know how much it hurts. Really appreciate you showing your game against Leavens, Daniel. The whole series is amazing; keep it up!

As a real beginner, the biggest thing I've learnt from this series is how to identify when to attack, when to open the center and when to trade. Made a huge difference to my game 👍

It's so funny i see multiple gm's describing their moves with ''Bing Bang Boom!''

Instead of saying that a knight "blocks" or "disconnects" the queens I'm going to start channeling my inner Danya and saying "closes the avenue of negotiation between" 😅

Your educational videos are fantastic, so glad I've found them.

Best studies by far! Appreciate GM Danya providing this great master class speed run.

Hi! Thank you for this series :) I've learned a lot!!

Love this series!

"Rumor here has it I've played a couple of bullet games in my life". Who else is here after the 200 bullet match vs the Pengiun grandmaster

These are the best videos I have ever encountered

Aww, he fixed his camera size, I was hoping he would stay small so I could make a _"hold me closer, Tiny Danya"_ joke. 😂

Awesome stuff as always, you re the best, Danya

absolutely beast commentary!

Incredible content Daniel thank you so much

Love these Daniel don’t stop!

These are great but if you haven't watched them already the latest speed run 'oh my lands' includes 10 minute games so he can spend a bit longer explaining the game. It's the best chess instruction I've ever seen.

THANKS love these videos ive improved so much !

Love this series

Great to see the chessbase games to help illustrate your reasonings

always enjoy watching speedrun x2

OMG.... Your video got recommended to me..... I didn't regret it...this series is a blessing for us noobz .....now Imma go speedrun everyone's funeral in chess

Love watching this before bed

I think I've learned more from this series than from a whole shelf of chess books.

I love the series, could you someday do a video on recovering from common blunders you find at this level?

Lmao the Bill O Reilly sound bite in the intro 😂

What am amazing teacher and savant. Thanks Daniel.

Hey Daniel, love your videos. An idea: When you play a game and you point out certain ideas to highlight during postgame analysis, could you add this timestamp to the youtube video itself so the concept you explain is easier to findd?

You are a scholar and a gentleman good sir

As Aman would say, they’re 1200. When they see a check they have to check.

Danya is the bro we all wished to have, great guy

Quality content

Lol ...the intro audio 🤣

6:56 he was about to say "a modern is a hypermodern opening"

Love the Bill O'Reilly reference HAHA

I see the (hyper) accelerated dragon recommended a lot by coaches. What is the specific reason compared to other defenses vs 1.e4 like reguler e5 and Nc6 or the Petroff?

What chess software are you using Daniel? I'm intrigued by the analysis tools and the ability to cycle backwards and forwards through the game.

Came for the chess, staying for the impressions 🤣

Your long time chess coach was Kaidanov? I’ve never met him but he actually lives in my area, or at least he did, last time I checked.

I wish I had a time machine so I could go to the future and watch the whole series.

"doubling rooks on the d file" sounds so good xD

xqc style got me loled. Love this series!

I'm so used to watching on Twitch, I almost keep double tapping my screen to see chat.

thanks!

*Naroditsy plays a move* me: yeah ofc thats the best move pff

I think it's called wadworth predator at the chess board. Best chess tactics book I ever read. It teaches you to screen for these tactics.

Daniel, I love you

instructive videos. thanks. but.. when you say he has weaknesses.. I'm ~1500 how do we find weaknesses? how to improve the positional understanding of the board? :)

Always ends up being an even game I never thought about opening it up when their queen comes out early after I chase it with my pieces

wasnt bobby fischer very critical of the accelerated dragon?

Accelerated Dragon: 0:33 Modern: 6:49 Sicilian: 14:08

Is everyone just gonna ignore that masterclass of an intro?

Rumour has it you played a few bullet games in your life. Yeah, yeah, you right! F E W

For context it could have been good to show the online Jeopardy game that happened on stream right before this, where the ‘volcanic etuption’ reference came from 😂

Plz make this a playlist in the channel

19:45 why is locking in the bishop fine in the king's indian?

0:12 I started saying that reference out loud then it started playing lol

Love the vids! Went from 700 to 1100 in 2 days!

Daniel, I almost always play the accelerated dragon but still my opponent goes for Yugoslav...I mean I should be able to punish it but my opponent just keeps being stubborn 😢

It's okay sensei... I don't need sleep... I need chess!

The intro! Wqw!

in the second game, after the opponent replies with Nd7 to your Nf6, is Qg5 bad? looks from my rather untrained eyes as a nice attacking option. then again, im not really great at chess haha

At 13:41, if King moves to H8, what does white do? Take pawn on C7? I don't understand bro

Solid chess advice: "Not every move has to be equivalent to finding the coronavirus vaccine" 🤣🤣🤣

@6:24 couldn’t white just play Qd2 to block the fork? Or previously played Rf2 to block the check? Of course Black is still winning but we don’t win a full piece. Or am I missing something?

I feel spoiled by all these uploads

18:25 What do you mean by forking a fork?

5:30 won't (white)Nd2 avoid the fork?

I believe you are going to 1MM followers very soon.

by now i am expecting some rng manipulation and warp zones to 3000

Why does he say “sitcilian”? I noticed it in other vids too.
