This would be the perfect channel for the Khan Academy of Chess, just because you make everything so clear!! Thank you Danya, it's been a great journey.
I second this
I, for one, welcome Danya Academy.
Haha sal khan! The man who made me obsessed with calculus!
Yeah Danya is the man
Caro kann academy
Above and beyond chess, this series made my days brighter and was a strange source of meditative comfort and familiarity. Thank you for being one in a constellation of people that make my world better.
100% agree, same for me
I was about to leave a comment in this vein, but you said way better than I could brother
I love how Danya actually cares and wants to improve the skill of his viewers :)
Of course other content creators do care for the fans but in my opinion, as of right now Danya is probably one of the best RUclipsrs for improving and learning more about chess.
I honestly don’t think most others actually care. They just want the views. I don’t wanna name the creators but there is a reason why most of their followers are under 1000 despite following them for so long, cuz it’s entertainment focused more than educational.
Does anyone else come close? I’m looking because I’ve watched. Pretty much all of Danya’s videos
@@landon8952 there are some smaller channels that are really good but in terms of big ones, St. Louis and Chessbase India have really good stuff. They are a bit more advanced though.
@@landon8952 I really like hanging pawns, especially for openings
@@saiashwin26 I don't think it's fair to assume someone is purely making decisions around viewer count, just because they make content focused on entertainment over education. Both are perfectly valid themes in their own right
I absolutely love your idea to be the khan academy of chess. Your skill as an educator is outstanding.
I think a helpful resource may be to create playlists from the speed run by opening. So like all the caro-kann episodes in one place. And because you rotated through them so evenly, you could watch the Caro at 800, 1200, 1400, etc. back to back to back and really see the progression in the complexity of the opening. Seems very Khan Academy-esque to organize it thay way.
Great idea!
Really looking forward to the openings course. Yes, plenty of other resources for them, but no-one teaches like Danya. :)
Then you should perhaps consider marrying him.
@@flyingpenguin2229 oh man I wish
@@petergriffin8767 I as well ☺️
I've learnt much more from you than any other chess content creator (including the 2 big ones), you are a great teacher which helps understanding some concepts for beginners and your non-bullshit approach is also somewhat entertaining. You fully deserve 1M subs.
Thank you for this series Danya. I watched every single video religiously. I was new to chess when I watched many months ago and now feel like a dragon. 🐉 The Naroditsky School of Chess lives on.
Hey Daniel, just want to send an appreciation post on the creation of this series. I started taking chess seriously in these past months and I’ve recommended your videos to all my friends. You have such a way of analyzing and explaining ideas and moves. I’m one of many of your RUclips students that get a kick of responding to your questions when you ask where the next piece should go and feeling the satisfaction of getting it right. You’re the man! I hope you get to a million subs one day!
Daniel we need another speedrun. We learn so much from every episode. I’ve gone up hundreds of rating points (from the beginner level to intermediate) through your videos. Thank you
Thanks for the speedrun Danya, its been awesome watching you climb the rating ladder. Myself along with many others I'm sure have learnt tons from your videos so thank you so much.
This is the best chess learning channel I found so far (~2 years), and more so Danya has a great personality and his teaching style is nothing less than amazing. The paradox is I found abut him from Levy's channel which I can't watch since.
Easily my favorite series on RUclips. Such instructive and entertaining content! Loved it all so much thank you for this so much Danya
Thank you so much for doing both of these speedruns!
Watching you teach charlie is what got me into chess, and these speedruns really helped improve my play!
Can't wait to see what other content you make!
THNX FOR THE SPEEDRUN DANYA.... YOU'RE THE GOAT
You have a great way of explaining ideas and are a great person! Thank you for this precious content. I personally hope there will be another speedrun, since there is always so much to learn from a game and from you, but I'll of course enjoy every other content you'll create. Thank you!
Thank you for the speedrun and the quality content. Everyday before I go to sleep I can just watch a thrilling video where I learn and have fun. Thank you Danya!
My favorite series on youtube. Looking forward to another speedrun and the rest of the content you have planned. Thank you!
Thank you for all of your hard work during this endeavor. I hope I speak for everyone trying to improve, that this has been super helpful and looking forward to more educational content in the future.
What a journey, the speedrun was an AMAZING content for youtube, I was waiting for a new video daily, so thank you so much for the effort you make in creating quality contents!
Greetings from Italy!
Fantastic series! Grats on securing the win. I've improved a ton by following along and am looking forward to more tactics and puzzles.
This has been my routine for months now. Thank you, Danya. It's been amazing! Looking forward to more instructive content
Best chess teacher on RUclips, hands-down. I hope this was not the last speedrun but I am looking forward to other types of content.
Thanks for a great series, unbelievably informative. Looking forward to your next project.
Thanks for these videos Daniel, i have learn a lot from them and my chess skill improved, I'm sure the channel will keep on growing, because of great content such as this. Keep it up!
Goodluck Danya, this channel is amazing already with lots of instructive stuff. It's kinda underrated though. You're a great teacher. Really excited to see the new vast content coming up in the future.
I love the speedrunn series so so much
Of all the chess channels I know this is definitely the best one. So informative(!) yet entertaining as well.
I am so happy you made this series. This is my favourite one by far!
The way you talk us through the games is really educational, and you show us that with simple ideas you can play very well and win tough games.
Here are a couple of thoughts about your vids:
- Thank you thank you thank you for talking in a language that I can understand. I'm not talking about english, I'm talking about not-super-duper-high-level-chess-speak. It makes it much more enjoyable when you simplify so I can follow along.
- The emphasis you put on openings and positional ideas really made me rethink how I should approach certain positions, how instead of rushing into an idea that may not work with my position collapsing, I should take it slow and notice when my opponent has to opportunity to push certain ideas of his own.
- On the technical side, sometimes it sounds like you're hitting your mic, and though it's not bad enough to click away it certainly needs addressing
- As for the end of the series, I'm sad it's ending but I'm glad you're working towards making your channel a chess education hub. Every end is a new beginning!
Thank you a ton!
This was great content, Daniel. Several of the videos related to my openings were very helpful. Thank you.
Thank you very much, I feel honored to have consumed this much of your educating content. I tuned in when you were at 1250 with rating, and though I never saw a Spanish game from you (expect the bishop sac variation) which is my favorite opening, I still learned so, so much. I hope your future speedruns will bring you even more subscribers, audience and revenue and that you continue to make this great and structured content.
Kind regards and take care, Daniel.
Thank you for the great content as always. I would love to see more chess studies/puzzle solving on your channel moving forward!
Amazing stuff! Sad to see this end! Best of luck for your future endeavors Danya!
Great series Daniel! Thanks for all! Can’t wait to see what you get up to next!
Thanks for the great series! Though my chess result hasn't improved much, but my thought process and chess understanding definitely have
Wish you the best reaching your 1M sub goal!
Thank you Danya :)
I've watched every single video of this series
Can't wait for what's next!
Great speed run Danya! Thanks for educating us! Looking forward to what you have in store for us, you’re a great guy!
It's been a pleasure watching your Speedrun videos, I haven't missed 1 since you started releasing them. I'm sad to see it go but I'm sure whatever you do next will be just as great! Thanks Danya!
Congratulations Danya! You are THE man! Love watching the early episodes as I am ranked somewhere between 600-1200 depending on time controls, so thank you for sharing your knowledge.
You will influence a generation of players. And we will come back to watch the videos again and again for as long as the content is kept online. Congrats and looking forward for you to have a millions subs.
i've been watching since episode one and i'm sad to see the series end but i've learned so much. i can't wait to see what other ideas danya has in store for content, i will always be here supporting and watching.
keep up the good work danya!
Yeah, I think Daniel's good enough that he doesn't need clickbait titles and other dignity-sacrificing techniques. :) Looking forward to more educational content on the channel.
I don't get the hate for "click-bait" titles. For people who are already fans/subscribers we're going to watch regardless of the title. Click-bait just helps draw in more people who are curious, which helps get you recommended by the algorithm, which draws in more people, which ultimately means more subscribers who will watch anything. Think of RUclips content creation itself as a game of chess: why would you NOT learn and make use of techniques that help you to win?
@@jonathanhenderson9422 so what you're saying is that mocking clickbait is akin to going to a chess club in the 1920s to mock the hypermodernists that did not fight for the center with pawns?
@@ScoffMathews I don't know if you can stretch the analogy that far, but it kinda works. I think the general idea is that for anything you attempt to succeed in there are going to be techniques you need to learn and master to do that. RUclips content creation is no different. Provocative titles and thumbnails help your content stand out from the billions of other videos out there. I also don't understand the argument that click-bait is dignity/soul-sacrificing or whatever. Is it immoral? Is it hurting anyone? No? Then what's the problem?
@@jonathanhenderson9422 I think agadmator's titles and thumbnails are tastefully appealing, but GothamChess' thumbnails are appalling (& crafted to the algorithm).
Levy seems like an okay guy. He very clearly puts a lot of work into his RUclips account. I trust he knows that his thumbnails look like garbage, even if they are effective at getting viewers. -- I guess it's that crafting a thumbnail which doesn't substantially represent what's in the video doesn't seem honest.
@@jonathanhenderson9422 Some content creators benefit from it sure, but when you are trying to create a body of work which people can use as a reference guide, it fucking sucks. Imagine if the index of a reference manual was all vague & sensational? "You won't believe this happened! .... p25". Useless.
Don't defend the rationalisation of it just because the very same people who stand to financially gain from the practice say it's a good thing. It has its place, but this isn't it and thankfully Danya has the integrity and intelligence to see that. Not everything in life is about making as much money and spreading as much influence as possible. Sometimes it's nice to be proud of what you've done without using financial compensation as a guide to its success.
Absolutely love anything you make, speedrun or not. Easily the best chess content creator bar none!
I have enjoyed every video you have made in the speedrun. Very clearly explained, on every level. You have done something quite amazing Daniel. Sad it ends, but if you ever restart count on me to watch again.
Loved this series, but also looking forward to the other content you have coming!
Best Chess RUclips content by far!! Learned so much!!
Thank you for an amazing series! Look forward to future content!
Love this series, hope you make another one soon. My chess skills are growing thanks to you
Love your channel. Your videos are so informative and I appreciate you. Can’t wait to see your next project
A fantastic speedrun- thanks Danya - loved it. Good luck with the next idea.
Danya, thanks for this speedrun! I learned a lot and had many hours of entertainment. Looking forward to the next episode!
It’s such an amazing goal you have for the channel. Thank you
Hi Daniel, first i want to thank you a lot for this amazing content. Imho you shouldn't stop making speedruns videos. We learn so much from a whole game, ideas for the opening, the middlegame and the endgame with you're thought process, very pedagogic and clear, i love it so much and wait for every video like a chrismas present. I've been watching chess contents all year since the queen gambit got me into chess and this type of videos is the best imo. Levy had a "how to win at chess" serie that was great but he doesn't do it anymore, blitzstream for french people has a pedagogic game serie that is great too. But you're speedrun series are the best, highest level of chess combined with highest level of clarity is just the greatest. As a london player a speedrun with more D4 games would be greatly appreciated. An opening serie could be great too with tricky ideas etc.
Thanks again for everything Daniel, wish you the best.
Huge respect for refraining from clickbait stuff. I try to keep my RUclips organized with a dozen or so accounts for different viewing topics, chess being one of them. I appreciate being able to accurately evaluate the contents of a video from it's title and thumbnail. I remain optimistic that your strategy of creating an ultimate reference for chess on RUclips will create lots of recurring views.
Thank you so much for this speedrun! Beautiful last game to cap the series off with! I cannot wait for your new series!
Danya thank you for this speedrun. It’s like your favourite tv series coming to a end. Nothing on youtube comes close to teaching good chess like this series. You are a wonderful teacher and may you get the success and recognition you deserve.
Hi Daniel, I started watching your videos around a month ago -- in that short amount of time I've watched many of your speed run videos and I've progressed from 1614 (October 2nd) -> 1800(November 18th) rapid in just over a month. You are a gifted teacher and you offer so much insight to players around my level. Thanks so much!
Most addicting series ever! Thoroughly enjoyed watching all your games. It’s given me a passion for chess during this awful pandemic.
So very appreciative of everything you do! Love your attitude towards RUclips and your content, your videos are the best part of my day.
Thank you 🙏🏼 that was a great journey, I learned a lot new concepts which improved my play. I had a huge problem with recognising a moment to attack and your advices helped me a lot: not to rush with attack, develop pieces on good squares, making patient moves, defending from opponents ideas. This sounds really simple and it is written in all chess books but being able to follow your thought process was very instructive.
Congrats on a great Chess Speedrun course! I hope you felt it was as much as a success as I did -- in providing a great resource to improve at this incredible game!
I really like the lack of click bait and the seriousness of the videos. I think it’s the way to gain the most loyal subscribers.
I really appreciate this series, I have been inspired to start coaching recently because of this series, Daniel Naroditsky is a real king
This is the best series to learn chess on RUclips. Thank you Danya! You are the best
Excellent speed run Danya! Super instructives compared to other channels. We learn a lot and there is great interaction and explaination on the moves. No click bait, just real meat for the chess players. Well done!
Thanks Daniel for making these series which are very instructional and helped us improve our decision-making in chess.
I would love for this series to keep on continuing. I think it would be very instructional to hear how you play against stronger players, even if you struggle against them
PLEASE PLEASE Danya make Chessable courses on openings and strategy !!!
This will enable us to gain from your entire deep thought process around a specific topic (e.g. Ruy Lopez).
You are the BEST chess online instructor in the entire world, in my opinion.
Dan
Really nice content! Especially so that we beginners also understand it! You have a new subscriber, and I don't subscribe that easily anywhere
Thank you Daniel! Great series 💪🏼💪🏼
Congratulations on wrapping up the run! I've learned a lot from your analysis.
This is how I want to play. Accumulate pressure to unleash devastating attack. Always struggling with premature aggression and especially hasty pawn moves. If I can imitate even a bit of this, my win rate will skyrocket as I do tend to get very favorable positions even against people 300~500 points above me in rating (online rating). Which I then throw down the drain...
This is how I play. I accumulate pressure little by little, before launching a mega attack. But unlike Danya, I often miss stuff and hang pieces, which relinquishes my pressure and with that, my game. 🥲
@@henrychess3 We the same. My coach told me just other day that "Sometimes you go berserk, start ripping your shirt on the chest, throw pieces at the opponent, push the pawns into doom, and all that just because you sense your position is better. Which it is. But not to the extent of justifying going loco." Also told me sometimes I play black as if I got the white pieces and am multiple tempi up. Gotta be patient...
Long time Gotham chess sub here but I have to admit that this been the most education chess content on RUclips and it’s not even close. Keep it up Danya! More subs to come and for us (hopefully) more elo to come.
Thank you for an excellent series, pretty much watched every video, great stuff
great content. Keep up the good work Daniel. Your classes are the best, thanks for sharing your thought process
Thank you. I love the way you present the ideas and explain moves.
I don't know if you read these Danya, but as an avid chess intermediate player that wants to improve himself to an advanced level, I have found your videos to be ones of the most useful ones to learn chess. My only issue with this is that your videos don't follow a certain structure in terms on what to learn, but that isn't to say they aren't useful. If I want to learn something of the Alapin Sicilian I can just browse the video titles and go ahead to it. As it is a speedrun journey, some aspects of certain topics are covered and some others are not, for example Alapin Sicilian game in speedrun will only cover the variation of what the other player has played, and it often isn't the main line. They are still really useful videos and valid to learn. You are one of the best chess teachers out there and you defintely can reach 1 M subs.
I think for now he's just trying to build up a base of people who regularly watch his videos. He probably has many things he plans on going into detail on later
Thanks for your great insight throughout this year Danya!
A speedrun and overall channel content is phenomenal. There is - and I hope will be - a lot to explore and to go back to after some time. That's quality work and great personality (sorry for this vaseline, I had to!). You deserve 1Msubs like no other Daniel. All the best Mr. Naroditsky and thank you sir.
Your explanatory ability along the whole phases of the game is unmatched by the rest of youtubers I follow.
I was happy everytime youtube proposed another video of your speed run and afterwards i was eager to aply your teachings in my games.
Cheers
Thank you so much for your lessons, I've learned so much, you are such an amazing player!
Hi Danya. I just want to say thank you for everything you've done so far. I've learned so much from you and realized my play style from watching these videos.
You definitely deserve 1m sub's danya. This series was very educational. Hope to see more of such content in the future.
Thank you Daniel for this epic Speedrun. It was a pleasure to watch them all. Every morning I am used to open RUclips hoping a new Speedrun video is out. Please start another one perhaps with a slightly different flavour.
You have a natural "teacher personality". This has been an amazing journey, and I will be following future content.
One of the best chess players out there. Keep up the great work Danya!!
This series were amazing. Your channel is probably the best chess channel out there. Regarding new content, as a 1000 player, I would really like a few games where you’d always methodically go through all the moves you dismissed. Eg.: I look at all my pawns, but due to X and Y I don’t see a reason to consider pawn movements, I don’t want to move the knight in b1 due to Z, I don’t want to move the bishop next to it because of Z’ and so on. I feel like being able to focus on the right things is very important. After you say which piece to move I can usually follow, but how do you get there? I don’t know how to do that and not being super boring, but it’s something to think about maybe.
Thank you Danya for teaching me chess and improving my rating by at least 500-600 points. This is the end of an era but the beginning of new one. I’m really look forward to your future videos!
Thanks danya for these videos. Pretty sure these alone have helped me gain hundreds of points. Currently I'm almost 1800 in lichess and your videos always help me improve
Hey Daniel,
Just wanted to say thanks for doing the speedrun series. Watching your speedruns is how I learned to play chess; I’ve improved from a 400 rating to over 1300. More importantly you introduced me to a lifelong passion! Working to make it into the 2000s one day. Thanks for helping me start my journey!
Thanks for the speedrun content. This really helped me a lot Danya. Cheers
Thank you, Danya. I look up to you because I feel like you are passionate about teaching chess and helping people instead of being in it for money. This is my favorite chess channel. This was a wonderful speedrun; I learned a lot.
The best chess series! Thanks! I’m sure i’ll watch again down the line.
Awesome content,thank you Daniel for this speedrun
This is hands down the best free content around. Really thankful for all the conceptual ideas instead of just another book line preacher. Actuay had substance, an Daniel is great with the perfect mix of down to earth and no nonsense. Thank you Daniel
Daniel, I would like to thank you for your videos. Your patience and ability to teach are impressive. The way you explain how to better understand the game and teach has helped me to improve a lot. Please continue with the great work!
1M subs is in the cards Danya… IMO this is the BEST YT channel!! A DayuM GurrrrrL!! 👏👏👏👏
Such a great teacher.. Great vision, accuracy, positional play and understanding of the game. Explains everything! Respect sr!
thanks Daniel for the speedrun ! your videos are highly appreciated !
The end to a legendary era! I'm excited to see where you take the channel next, a Khan Academy of chess sounds brilliant!
The best chess youtuber if you really want to improve your chess. Love every video, so much information that I have to watch multiple times. I believe in you Danya!
