As a 1600 I’m of the mind… “That’s a strange move, do they see something I don’t? Let me look around and calculate a few moves… still don’t see it. Ok I have to take it, if I’m wrong, I learn a new tactic.” When training, if you can’t calculate the threat of a strange move do NOT defend it. If you can’t calculate the poisoned-piece/gambit/trap DO play into it. Getting punished and reviewing the line is the best way to learn new tactics :)
I'm around 2100 and most games I blitz out the knight block and then instantly realize it was hanging. I don't think any 1400 is consciously declining a piece gambit and there are almost no piece gambits that are sound
1600: takes a few seconds to think before taking the free piece 1800: haha this bozo blundered a free piece 2000: imma punish this guy for trying to be a troll, you don’t who I am?? I’m a certified 2000 rated player, elite player who’s part of the 1% of the player base, disrespectful c*nt you will regret the day you tried to mess up with me
@@darian5428 GingerGM is incredibly weak when taken out of his memorized lines & opponents don't surrender by default when they see an H pawn push... Check out his games against FM/IM and weaker players in events where he plays openings he is not familiar with - he blunders full pieces in 7-8 moves 😂😂😂
5:37 Danyas opponent: “wow he’s really wondering how to come back from losing that piece” Danya: SOW THE SEEDS OF DOUBT. MAKE YOUR OPPONENT HIS OWN WORST ENEMY. YOU HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE BUT YOUR CHAINS
“Engine says f4 is a huge blunder; ask me if i care” is both an amazing retort and illustrates that you aren’t fighting the engine, you’re fighting a human being.
What it really illustrates that Naroditsky is one of the best players in the world who can do things mere mortals cant. Especially when playing against much worse players.
The engine response to f4 for black '...Rc4' leads to a pretty easy cleanup of the pawns, but it's incredibly hard for people at 1350-1400 level to find. A stronger player probably finds it, but then Danya probably wouldn't have sacrificed a bishop against a player who was strong enough to find that move so your point is still valid.
@@Matt-sl1wg One response is simply to take the free pawn and go Nf7 next... if the pawn is pushed you fork it. It's not even a "engine line" and not a very hard move to find, something he could have "lucked into" easily as he moved the knight anyway. It's definitely not a "game winning move". He (opponent) was really close to winning after that move. Even GMs can blunder.... a few moves later evaluation is -6, in game.
Your explanations to us chess shit-lords are amazing. I can't get enough of it. This is my way of saying: don't be too hurt by complaints. You kill it.
I've just started playing chess recently and have gotten immense value from these types of videos from you. I don't mind at all you trying new things in order to instruct in different ways. I appreciate you listening to feedback though and trying to put out the best content you can.
Incredible how a GM fights a lost position. Never played against a GM. Just an IM, which dominated me every move. But I won against an NM, who blundered hard and didn't fight back like him.
probably 1300-1800 if an IM dominates him but he can keep a winning position against an NM following a blunder, any lower and the NM probably could've clawed his way back. I only say this because I beat a CM after he made fluke blunder against me and I surprisingly was actually able to win and i was 1350 at the time.
One thing I love about this series is that I can try to guess the correct move as danya is playing. He does a great job of leading viewers to the correct move while never shaming bad choices. This series genuinely feels like a free chess coach session. For which I'm very grateful. Thanks for another great speed run Danya
Very good point! Even though I watch every video I can, I will admit that I have fallen victim to the concept that the longer the video the more I’ll learn. The truth is, I learn something from EVERY thing I watch from Dayna. I appreciate the message and the continuing lessons.
Danya you are the best teacher on RUclips IMO. Really appreciate you and enjoy all the videos you post. I agree about the length of the videos not necessarily making them any more instructive. Thank you!
this was my favorite game so far from this speedrun. I found it very, very instructive and helpful, and I appreciate that you had to try harder due to voluntarily sacrificing a piece early in the game. also, the edit after 2:35 was genuinely hilarious.
Videos like this where you put yourself at a disadvantage are some of the most instructive and engaging. They are instructive because it is very often the case that I blunder a piece early in the game and could do to know how my approach should change as a consequence, and they are engaging because there is genuine uncertainty over whether or not you will achieve the win.
This is true but not the ideal long term solution. The real solution is to not blunder the piece in the first place. That's the main avenue for getting better, not playing better down a piece.
@@TRXSTA38 I am 800 ELO, it will be a while before I stop blundering pieces lol. I take your point, and obviously my main focus is on that, but given that it's just a reality of my chess experience for the foreseeable future that I will blunder in a nontrivial amount of my matches it's good to have some recovery skills as well.
As someone around this level, the moves hardest to find for me are near the late/middle - early endgame, because its usually a pawn or king push, which then leads into an attack/past pawn advancement. When doing more puzzles, tactics like relative skewer from the bishop are seen more easily, but sometimes those don't relate in game, as there is no alarm bells for "tactics" The way you used your king in the endgame mate was insightful as well. Thanks for the content btw.
Another way of `blundering and recovery` could be that you try to play into your opponents preparation. You dont necessarily have to give up a piece but could just go for a line which is considered bad. Anyway very instructive videos which are fun to watch.
Thank you so much Danya for this, I'm trying to climb from 1400-1500 to 1800 and your content is helping so much. I think it's one of your vid that made me try the Alapin in the first place, and now you are giving so much tools ! Thanks a lot
Love the short and long video format! 30 min for lunch break and then I dig into the hour long ones in the evening during dinner. Great content! Best at what you do! ❤
Yeah you'd assume he started using an engine after he blundered. 'Blunders a piece then miraculously plays 95+ accuracy at 1400 rating? Definitely cheating' - turns out it was all part of the prophet's cunning scheme.
You shouldn't apologise for anything Daniel, I can't begin to thank you for the hours of quality content you have made freely available on RUclips. I re-watch the speedruns every night to improve my chess and help me relax. You're the man!
What I've really learned from Danyas excellent analysis during games like this, is that top players like him will always look that one more move in a combination. In some of these lines I seen the issue that would stop me playing them, then Danya said "let's look one more move" and finds a brilliant reason to play it anyway.
This was very instructive, props to the guy who defended so well in the endgame. Also it would be great if they make a post on the channel whenever Danya goes live, I would like to watch his streams.
Thank you Daniel. This is by far the most educational “speed run” I’ve seen. A lot of other streamers/GMs care only to show off their abilities but don’t explain the reasoning behind moves or theories.
I remember a few weeks/months ago you accidentally blundered in another speedrun video by misclicking a move, and it was such an incredibly instructive video to see you easily take the win anyways (and iirc it was even higher rating than this game!). So glad to see that you may make it a somewhat regular occurrence! The complainers are the only the vocal minority, we all love your videos and the length and depth you go into is perfect!
This is an absolute master class in resiliency and tactical recovery. This game was well fought by both sides and an absolute privilege for me to watch.
you're awesome and these speedruns are the best it's not even up for debate. One thing i would love you to explain a bit more is the difference between a luft and a hook, specially in the opening and middle game. I understand in the late game that you need an escape because of back rank threats but in the early stages it's not always 100% clear to me why you say it's a hook and how to take advantage of it. Thanks for everything Danya
I knew OF this man, even saw games he played against some other GMs I had been a fan of. However listening to him speak he comes across as simply one of the most intelligent people I've ever seen. It's not a given with chess players and quite a surprise. I like listening to him speak and this also makes me want to check out his friend Jeffrey Xiongs channel as well I knew they were both strong grandmasters (around 2700 give or take) but the way Naroditsky communicates i like to listen 👂
I watch these in the morning, before work. While I really enjoy the longer videos, simply because they are so enjoyable to watch, I also value the shorter videos. They fit more in my morning and are equally instructive.
ironic how you said longer doesn't always mean you learn more, and the 10 seconds where he didn't take the bishop was the most enlightening moment ever
Reactions to bg5 by elo:
600: Oh no, I need to defend my queen
1000: Look, a free piece!
1400: I am unfamiliar with this gambit. I better decline it.
lol
Why is this so accurate
As a 1600 I’m of the mind… “That’s a strange move, do they see something I don’t? Let me look around and calculate a few moves… still don’t see it. Ok I have to take it, if I’m wrong, I learn a new tactic.”

LOL Danya's face when he doesn't take the bishop is gold
That was like a jontron moment or something
Very polite lol
I genuinely think his opponent thought it was a mouse slip and was being nice. Wild how many good folk he’s run into
lmfaooooo should be a meme on its own
This is a spoiler for me ;()
Dude, this series is amazing! Don't listen to the complainers. Where else can you get commentary on chess like this from a GM?
GingerGM has his own speedrun
US chess school?
Andras toth also really good
who complains?

2:55 My most favorite moment in entire danya's speedrun videos ever.
2:32
LMAO, the look of dismay on Danya's face.
His opponent straight up declined a free bishop 😂
2:26 Funniest moment in the speedrun so far lmao,
Keep it up Danya these videos are great!
Genuine laugh out loud moment. 😂
"Just take me now, Lord"
2:45 when you are broken inside but you keep smiling because it's the only thing that keeps you going.
A Danya a day keeps the blunders away! Good stuff, can't wait for more endgame studies!
I think it's nice to have videos of varying length. Sometimes I'll watch one on my lunch break, sometimes I watch one for a study session.
This is by far the best chess content I've ever seen and you are a brilliant teacher. I don't see how anyone could watch this series and moan.
I watch it and moan but in a different way 👀
Fantastic job listening to feedback from your audience. Best chess videos by far!
I watch about 5/6 of your speed run videos every day. I've seen them all at least once. Thank you so much. I enjoy them immensely.
Your explanations to us chess shit-lords are amazing. I can't get enough of it. This is my way of saying: don't be too hurt by complaints. You kill it.
Danya: “I’d rather have a shorter video than a longer one”
Also Danya: *proceeds to upload 52 minute video*
a short long video

There are puzzles where it's just about those pawn/king moves. They are just a little higher rated. Keep doing the puzzles and you get to them as well
@@stvia Thanks for the advice :)
Yeah Dannya! No need to apologize brother!!! You are a great teacher, and we love your content!!!
One of the best episodes in the speedrun! Great commentary to go with a great game!

Imagine being the other guy, so your low elo opponent blunder a piece and then play the rest of the game like a GM
Two pieces*
Yeah you'd assume he started using an engine after he blundered. 'Blunders a piece then miraculously plays 95+ accuracy at 1400 rating? Definitely cheating' - turns out it was all part of the prophet's cunning scheme.
I would probably think of him as cheater😂😂
This is my favorite chess series right now. Thanks so much Danya!
You shouldn't apologise for anything Daniel, I can't begin to thank you for the hours of quality content you have made freely available on RUclips. I re-watch the speedruns every night to improve my chess and help me relax. You're the man!
One of the most interesting games of the speed run so far. Thank you as always for taking the time to share these.
That capablanca game was so cool to see how it mirrored the game that was played
Been watching these videos for several months. I really like this "playing from down" video style. Really helpful!
Danya, you're a stellar communicator! Eye-wateringly articulate!
This shit is gold, both from a helpful content standpoint and a comedy standpoint.
This video is absolute masterpiece into a calculation and slowly manoveuring. Holy moly.
This video was a masterclass. Amazing series and content. Thank you 🙏
This was amazing to watch. Such creative ways to make his opponent uncomfortable even when they're winning.
2:04 lol indeed what a great opportunity to blunder, I will start searching for these beautiful blunders too.
jokes aside great video Daniel
Love this! Probably my favorite game from all the Speedruns. I hope you do this more often.

In some of these lines I seen the issue that would stop me playing them, then Danya said "let's look one more move" and finds a brilliant reason to play it anyway.
Thanks again for your wisdom!! Greatest chess teacher in the YT domain
This game was just insane, learned so much from this game. Thank you very much!
By far the best RUclips channel out there love it
When Danya said people hate decisions that really spoke to me
One of the best episodes to date, and yes I am calling them episodes, this is my new favorite tv show
I love the varied video lengths. Short videos I watch at lunch, and longer videos I watch at night.
Best chess teacher on RUclips. Professional, courteous, and clear.
Shorter videos honestly make things much more digestible! It’s about the instruction not the length! Appreciate all you do for the community!
Brilliant content. Simply a cut above the rest. Bravo Danya. Great game too.
I don't know what the critics are talking about. This is easily the most instructive chess content on RUclips. Keep it up Becca.
Awesome video! Danya played his true strength. And black's defence was so stubborn!
One of my favorite videos recently, thanks!
Your videos are seriously something special. Thank you!

Whaaat a gaaaaaaaaaame it was! That was a rollercoaster! So much instructive material! Thanks Sensei 😁
that pawn to d5 at 21:00 is just unthinkable move, incredible display of tactics
Liked this speed run video the best so far. Trying to recover from a blunder is more like my games. Loved it. Thanks for the help.
Awesome lesson GM Danya, like always, really apppreciate it. Большое спасибо 🙏

Such a humble and instructive person. Good first name too, 10/10.
This was a fun one! The raw emotion on display
That endgame was insane. Totally bonkers.

This is freaking awesome. A GM explaining how to play a game and how he thinks is just gold to a chess player as me.
Perfect timing. I’ve been playing the delayed Alapin.
Love the instructive chess videos
I like your play style. It's very intuitive.
Brilliant instruction on this one, Danya
Cramming in the aha moments!
I enjoy when danya challenges himself. It leads to a much more educational video
Great to watch and hear
Sensei's reaction... 😂 Sensei's development as a youtuber 😊👍
This video was worth watching just for that checkmate sequence alone.
Right when you said ‘throwing oil onto the fire’ you were interrupted by a ‘Dawn’ commercial 🤣
Best chess series I've seen.
great video Danya!
