Danya is being so polite and patient to people in the chat.

I am shocked at how easily danya discussed the KZfaq and dealt with negative distractions in chat while doing a great job explaining the position. Danya really is one of a kind

Last time I was this early grandmasters were still laughing at you if you didn’t control the center with pawns

Daniel- when you recommend a book like that, you should put up an affiliate link so that you get a kickback when we buy it! I'm sure all of us want to have more ways to support the channel

Amazing lecture by Grandmaster Caroditsky.

Best thing about living in the EU (Croatia) is that I get to wake up in the morning and enjoy my breakfast with some quality content from Daniel :D

Hey Daniel, Thank you for making these instructional videos. I really appreciate it, I value them so highly. I have seen improvement in my game at around 700 in both the Danish and Carro. I hope to catch your stream in tge future as I catch myself having questions for you mid video. Oftentimes you do clear up my questions at the end evidently, so once again thank you. Cheers from Canada

Not sure whether Danya is just a natural teacher, or just so smart that he makes it seem easy. Best gm at teaching normal humans imo.

Stream chat needs to stop being so toxic to danya, sometimes looking in from KZfaq it seems that the chat is pushing him in a not-so-nice way. He's just a guy trying to educate us as best as he can

Thanks to GM Naro, i'm now close to 2000 rating in rapid! In difficult situations, i just think, what would GM Naro do? Or what did GM Naro said about what to do with this situation? Cheers! And thanks for the free masterclass!

selfless human, nothing in this universe appreciates this man enough. thank you grandmaster.

Thank you Clyde for helping in giving us Danya's teachings!

Props to you and Clyde, the smartest man teamed up with the hardest working man makes a great team.

If you didn't know how to play the Caro... now you Kann. :)

Thanks Clyde!

It feels like Danya was angry at something and trying to speak calmly

Hey Danya, just wanted to thank you for these videos, I've improved a lot more quickly and your way of explaining your thought process is amazing, thanks a lot!

Super appreciate these videos, I always look forward to watching them! ❤️❤️❤️

Amazing and instructive videos. You've single handedly brought my rating up higher than it has been before and I'm glad I found this channel. Don't listen to any of the toxic kids in your twitch chat. Keep up the good work and release videos when you want to release them.

Daniel thank you so much for all your content. It's amazing to learn from your videos. Keep up the good work!

Danya, you do an absolutely incredible job explaining your thought processes, general strategy ideas, everything. I’ve watched several of your videos recently and could not possibly be more impressed. I’ve absorbed more in 2 hours of your videos than I have in the past several months combined

Daniel has helped me increase my rating so much. I'm almost 1800 now and I was stuck for so long. Something as simple as focusing on a single opening and mastering it has changed my whole game.

Love this channel, thank you Clyde and thank you Daniel

Daniel, you're an actually great guy for your patience, politeness, instructiveness and good character. We love you, and thank you Clyde for your hard work.

These are amazing, I especially liked the Alekhine Masterclass as I have the most experience in that! Kudos :) Want to say that you are reinforcing what I'm doing right, I feel like 90% of the time I think about the same moves you do, but then you have that "talent" (I hate the term) to spot the critical positions and then obviously you're a machine at calculating, I always really enjoy what you say after the games to add to the level that I can easily understand during the games.

This series is absolutely fantastic, so so helpful. Thanks Danya

Love this content. I found your videos through a bunch of magic the gathering vids. Now I’m picking up the game and having fun trying to use any tactic I learn from you.

Been familiar with Daniel from commentary or appearances in other channels but new to his YT channel. WOW, this is by far the most helpful educational content I've come across. This man's cadence, thoughtfulness, respect for his audience, are simply amazing.

Great content as usual! Thank you for being an amazing teacher, and please keep doing what you do :)

This series is SO HELPFUL. I really benefit from these videos, thank you GM Naroditsky!!

Thanks for all the hard work, Daniel and Clyde!

Big props to you and your editor Clyde man! This content is great and in all honesty should be exclusive but it's free and it's worth the wait.

Daniel your videos are brilliant! Learn so much off you 👍🏻 keep up the amazing content

U are a legend for sure keep it up I don’t watch many chess series but this is high quality

I tought my nephew how to play chess today and he is learning fast, loving the instructive videos Danya!

Appreciate your vidoes. Thanks for breaking down every move for the beginners.

Hey just wanted to say I LOVE YOUR CONTENT and I really appreciate what you are doing. Thank you so much 😊

Very few make the effort to explain the concept. You have a gift. Thanks for the analysis. I am ur no 1 supporter.

"I would be honored if you subscribed" "I'm just a dude" -Danya

I really appreciate all the effort you put into this series. It has helped me a ton.

You are the only chess guy that I'm subscribed on KZfaq. Awesome content

Excellent explanation. Thanks for sharing

17:37 damn you got me, never watching these while really tired again lmao

Love your videos Mr. Naroditsky, very helpful for a noob such as myself 👍

Hey man! I almost NEVER comment on KZfaq but felt I should. Not sure if this will ever reach your eyes, but it amazes me how people can complain about having access to a GM teaching them chess for free. It's a dream come true for beginners and chess players across the board, something that was probably next to impossible just a decade ago. I used to play when I was a kid and then lapsed for like 10+ years but its been so fun coming back with this resources available. Also super instructive: my chess its already increased noticeably better. So yeah, good job on standing your ground and hats off to you for making this. The world needs more people like this.

out of all the chess i watch, your videos make me feel like i can actually improve. as a teacher myself, i understand how difficult it is to keep your head level but you do a seamless job. props to you for being an exemplary role model. I hope your youtube keeps climbing and i am honored to learn from you. love from georgia

Danya, hope you're well man. Didn't seem like a wonderful night for you. Edit: Big cheers to Clyde and his work. Love this channel. Thanks Clyde!

Danya seems to be getting a lot of flak from his Twitch chat. Just wanted to give a huge THANK YOU from the KZfaq subscribers. Your content is awesome, keeping doing what you're doing!

You're a very good teacher, well done on these videos

Love you Danya, you make somewhat challenging or unforeseen concepts (for noobs (me)) simple to understand and replicate

Danya, "the speed run is my first big project..." Also Danya, wrote two chess books as a kid :)

Daniel should have a million subs. It's shocking that he is only near 200k!

Hey Daniel, You did it! 270k as today! Congrats and thank you very much for all this wonderful and patient content. I would like to tell you that.. everytime you say: Yes man, it makes perfect sense! always and everytime when you say: I hope that makes sense, it makes perfect sense to me. Thank you for your patience and dedication. I wish you all the best!

Love this series, more caro please!

Danya the goat, the prophet. You’re teaching so much in this series, you’re actively making me a better player and I know I speak for a lot of others as well. Thank you!!

Daniel "in the spirit of playing solid chess" Naroditsky 😇

22:04 Danya's inner russian chess professor coming to the fore

Thank you for these videos.

Great content to get over tough loss for the hornets.... 10 seed dreams

Jaw droppingly brilliant. Eyes wide open.

King Danya is simply the best. Truly helping so many. I love it.

It’s crazy to get this content for free I’ve been watching this series and feel like chess is an entirely new game for me

I'm cringing so hard at people being rude to Danya in the chat. Such a nice guy

8:01 "Then you will have to take with the king... ugh!" haha that describes perfectly how it feels when that happens

Such good content... rolling these, let's face it, free courses out one after another!

This seems like the official highest praised series on KZfaq. And with good reason.

This is great, thanks

Daniel, the pace of video output is plenty fast for right now!! I’m enjoying the amount of videos we get, because it’s all quality. A lot to be gained

SHOUT OUT TO CLYDE!!!! THE UNSUNG HERO

As much as I love daily videos, Danya and Clyde are chads and I hope they just keep on keeping on

Ey man!!! great content!

Thanks Clyde for all your hard work.

Daniel "let's just develop our pieces" Naroditsky - best in the biz!

Props to Clyde for getting these videos out every day

1yr from 100k to nearly 300k subs on yt. Keep up the work. I appreciate it!

Thanks Danya, my chess continues to improve from understanding your moves

Thank you!

thank you daniel

Usually when my opponent takes a while on a move i feel like I've made him think, now I'm just imagining myself sitting there smugly while I'm getting smurfed on by naroditsky and he's explaining to 10k people how my third move is an inaccuracy

cheers Clyde, much love

Legend

Thank you Clyde!

Congrats getting past 200k subs!

6:26 modesty like this is what I appreciate much more than a whole team of people. You are a true gem to this game Daniel. You too Clyde. Your efforts aren’t unnoticed

Danya is gonna set the world record for most speedruns. Also, the funny thing about this is when he did the first speedrun, he said this is the only speedrun he would do. Lol

Best chess content on KZfaq

I'm so glad I found this channel

25:59 It wouldn't limit black that much because you could move the queen to pin the knight instead of taking the bishop allowing it to take your pawn, then chase it away with your rook, then you get the D4 pawn. 27:26 is brilliantness.

Thank you sir for everything you do for chess. Love from India. ❤️❤️🙏🙏

I hope you know that we don't care about quantity of videos, the quality of what you are teaching is far more important. Thanks Danya.

Danya, you rock, man

Daniel, you make me happy.

We love you Clyde and Danya

Thanks danya for teaching us proper way to play ♟

As someone whose pet opening is the Caro-Kann, I've been loving these

Why is Daniel so polite and great.

🔥🔥🔥

What game was he talking about at 1:00

he calculates with precision 4-5 moves while talking to us, which to me is very classy and shows the difference of a top level GM from run of the mill IMs. When I calculate I am so preoccupied that I some times forget to breathe!!

Thanks for playing the caro.
