i'm shamefully glad there's not millions of subs on this channel because this is really the secret sauce to get better at chess. You're the best teacher i've ever had in any field in my entire life. And because of that i wish you to be rewarded with as many subs as possible. Long live Danya our Sensei
I absolutely agree! I haven't come across another chess channel where the teachings are so succint yet elaborative and incredibly full of insight of all sort of things. Danya has truely mastered the art of teaching. Best channel for chess, no question! Plus, he's such a positive, wholesome and uplifting personality that I always have a smile on my face for the full duration! :)
These speed runs are absolute gold. I’ve rewatched a few of the series. I just enjoy the extremely thorough explanation of everything. It’s no wonder the New York Times picked this guy up. Most underrated chess channel. His lack of clickbait makes continued steady growth very likely.
Something about Danya's videos (particularly the speedruns) that I find fascinating is the rewatchability. Like yourself, I must've rewatched all of them multiple times from start to finish, and every time I learn something new.
Can't overstate how much I appreciate your content. Love the focus on what's salient about a position, and how the truth is formed and then emerges move-by-move.
"I think plans are overrated." (14:21) I agree! This past year, I reevaluated my chess and discovered that that one of my weaknesses is not realizing that there is nothing really to do. In the past, I often tried to make something happen when there was really nothing to do. It often happens where your opponent has a solid position where there really is no "plan" other than trying to improve your position. If your pieces are well-placed and harmonizing, a plan will eventually come.
9:02 you are definitely not talking too much. I found you and your channel from watching the speed chess championship stream and really enjoying your commentary. The videos I've watched so far are a goldmine of theory and the reasoning behind moves for someone like me. Gotta shout out Levy for getting me interested in chess streamers and RUclipsrs in the first place but I think I found my new favorite YT chess teacher.
Being playing the Vienna for the last weeks with not much success but very fun and wild games. Looking further to grasp some ideas out of the video! Thanks for the awesome and educational content Danya!
From looking at the thumbnail, it seems he's actually playing as black, AGAINST the Vienna. But GothamChess has a pretty good video on playing the Vienna as White, you should check that out.
If you play e4 try out the Scotch. At my level of 1500 it seems ridiculously strong. A lot of people don't even see the checkmate threat from the Scotch Gambit. 🤣
@@jonathanhenderson9422 he recommends the "KID setup" to beginners As someone who fell for his trap, he definitely lies about openings for the improving player
A. He doesn't "immediately" play it. He plays it 2 moves later. And only after giving a detailed explanation of why. Even if he does admit that it's a bit drastic. . B. You weren't listening every well because he says (around 14:52) that it will not stay boring forever and when the time comes for confrontation, the placement of pieces will matter greater. Funny enough I was going add a comment about how those that say boring position are no fun are the precisely the ones that make a mistake in the "boring" part and ran over fast. They get their wish on makes the game fun.. just not for them because they'll be their ass whipped.
Love the extensive commentary, please don’t ever withhold your thought process cause you think your boring us, I love hearing every idea going through your head.
Insane how good these videos are. I'm very new to chess (2 months of intensive play, currently 1000 rapid), and you can explain these more advanced concepts with such amazing precision and clarity. Thank you!
Love your videos Daniel, everytime I've played with people and they say "wow you've gotten better!" it's because of you! I always say, oh i've been watching a lot of Daniel Naroditsky videos haha
Just saw the notification and i already know this is gonna be an amazing game. Vienna gambit always brings a bunch of interesting tactical oportunities and vivid lively positions
Genuinely nuts that you are "a lot smaller than some of the bigger channels-" your content is more helpful and engaging than all of the bigger (chess) channels combined. Thank you, Sensei!
I think they all are good at different things and quite complement each other. For instance Levy, who I also follow, is great for beginners and intermediate players. He is more engaging and probably the best at getting new people into chess. Danya is more advanced and thorough; he's not for beginners. His explanations are amazing, but takes a lot for granted from the audience. As I said, both are great. Choosing "sides" (e.g., Levy or Danya, Agadmator vs. Danya, etc.) is. pointless and outright harmful. Many people like to do that, but it's wrong.
Levy is very entertaining in addition to also being instructive. But when it comes to purely instructive content (not that these videos aren't 'entertaining' in their own right) I feel like Daniel has no equal on YT, at least not from the channels I've checked out so far.
I primarily watch on youtube, but I'm always sure to give you my twitch prime sub because your analysis, thoughts and advice is invaluable in helping me improve my own approach. I have dozens of pages of notes on tactics and positions from your commentary because your pedagogy really is unparalleled and I hope your channel continues to grow.
I started playing in December 2019 but really started playing rapid in during March 2020 during lockdowns. I have tried a couple books (Soviet chess primer, Zurich 1952), but I find it harder to learn from books. These series are what primarily drive my rating increases. I’m now nearing 1900 in rapid
I just started learning chess and have been watching tons of videos to learn and get better. Your videos have by far been the most helpful. You are a terrific teacher. Watching your chess videos have allowed me to experience notable improvement in my chess game. Thanks so much. Keep up the excellent work.
i really like these speed runs where you analyze a lot with us gives me a chance to learn and understand how a master thinks during game of chess thanks Danya
Quality lesson. One hour video totally worth it. It's not about the subscribers count, it's all about the value you create with your video. BTW you got one more subscriber.
0:30 "This 4th speedrun has been about playing classical openings and taking care of fundamentals" *Danya having spent the entire speedrun playing the Smith-Morra and sacking pieces straight out of the opening*

THANK YOU SIR!! .... MIKE.
I am kinda new to your channel. But i definitly like yours the most. It is just the way you explain it, just a little better than anyone else but this makes the difference
I started my journey to get better by watching you. But you are so good I could not keep up. Went to some other RUclipsrs and now I am ready for your instruction.
Another 2 good educational channels are Hanging Pawns, plenty of opening theory, strategy and game analisis; and ChessCoach Andras, IM who overall is very experienced as a coach and with good fudamental knowledge.
Wow...i have seen you around for many years (i watch barthalomew when he was getting started)...but this was the first time I really "tuned in". You are my new fav. Incredibly articulate and informative. Love how you explain your ideas and thoughts. I have a few games on my channel, where I am trying to record my thoughts in a game(i figure its the easiest and ultimate way to annotate my games). For a guy who has been studying for 10 years, I am terrible :/ but I still really want to progress. I will chew on the rest of your content now. Thank you. 🙌 Curious...do you do private lessons?
i like how danya is genuinely excited about the game which in turn makes me want to watch, unlike another utuber that screams and gets artificially excited to get the noobs attention.
I've said this before but you are the best active chess RUclipsr out there. Gotham is far too clickbaity and obnoxious, more of an entertainer. Your videos are a lot easier to watch and relax to.
This will hit 1 million subs in next 2 years. Faster if he can market better may be using social media. But I have recommended it to everyone I talk to for sure. This is easily the best channel ever.
d5 is the clear best move vs the Vienna Gambit.. But as someone who plays it for white, d6 is also pretty hard to punish. Black is by no means lost if they play d6
At 15:27 I wonder about Qc2 by White instead of Bc2. It sets up a Q+B battery, and inhibits the B-swap by Black, at least in the immediate term. It may also start to threaten invading with Ne5 because if ...Be5 de, ...Nmoves, the h7 pawn is en prise. Note the N cannot go to e4 because of the Q+B lineup rather than as in the game. Wonder if Bc2 was thinking in terms of a Turton manoeuvre, with the WQ backed up by WB targeting h7, but as per the game continuation it fails to set the WQ and WB that way round, because it lets Black exchange the Bishops in a way that favours the second player.
Your opponent is very very strong for a 1735 - he/she seems very underrated to me. Almost all his moves were in the top 3 for Stockfish until Nd2 towards the end. In particular c4 is a very challenging move I think, for a 1735-rated player to find. Stockfish had it as a number 1 move and your opponent found it. Well done him! Incredible.
Yall are so cringe, literally every video someones calling the opponent a cheater. I know youre 400 elo but devloping moves that dont blunder any pieces arent hard to find. The guy is 1750, he knows how to develop and not hang pieces. Youre 400 elo. Stop talking weirdo. Imagine thinking someone cheated just to lose the match. You literally put the game through an engine, you are literally projecting your engine use.
I honestly never thought the 150Th best player in the World would be the #1 chess teacher. I used to only watch Hikaru and the big names, but they simply don't teach like you. I just hope for your tournament success, and that one day you make Super GM.
Sadly, statistically, your kind of material will never be rewarded with a big amount of subscribers like Gotham Chess. Thing is, your videos target individuals that really care about getting better at Chess. That is a bit of a niche market. Gotham himself has said that Guess The Elo is one of/ or is his biggest episodes. I love Gotham Chess videos; but I am not spending my time watching Guess the Elo. But if you check the views he gets from those videos, it is stupendous. I don't see you making videos like those. Your love for the game is too much for that.
@@DanielNaroditskyGM i don't have to know this about the vienna gambit, it's good to know but it's not a "MUST". I don't even play vienna gambit XD don't forget likes and subs.

@@thatguy5233 you really can't survive in this world if you always take everything as literal as possible. people rarely mean the true "have to" when they say "must"
@@hellopleychess3190 maybe there is a cultural difference, because I'm not a native, but a must is a must. When you must do something, you must do it, no?:D like i said tho, i just don't like where this is heading, I've seen it too many times. There are many channels over 1mln that don't do all that staff and they're doing fine. Are we going to see danya posing for clickbaits someday?
As a user who uses and wants to play Vienna opening only, I barely play f4 gambit. because after 3.f4 d5 it becomes really tricky position for white, and everybody knows that at my level (1600 ~ 1700), it's just too risky to play. so if you want to play Vienna, there's some moves after 1.e4 e5 2.Nc3 Nf6. 3.Nf3 (transposes to petrov defense), 3.g3 (Mieses Variation), 3.Bc5 (Stanley Variation, mostly transposes to Bishops opening) and even 3.d4, 3.a3, 3.h3 are better than 3.f4 gambit according to stockfish
I found this channel by its placement as recommended by the RUclips algorithm, and it's truly a great analysis. Just what I'm looking for. QUESTION: Can anyone tell me where can I get a PGN string for this game? Thanks!
You talked about how important it is to know how to play "boring positions." This is why I play the Slav Exchange variation as White. Slav players *hate* this precisely because it is boring. I have studied the nuances of that variation, however. I can recognize a mistake very easily. Boring your opponent to death is a psychological tactic - especially if they're an aggressive, attacking player.
i'm shamefully glad there's not millions of subs on this channel because this is really the secret sauce to get better at chess. You're the best teacher i've ever had in any field in my entire life. And because of that i wish you to be rewarded with as many subs as possible. Long live Danya our Sensei

It used to be... Until Danya crushed it
Danya you are absolutelegend
I found this channel by its placement as recommended by the RUclips algorithm, and it's truly a great analysis. Just what I'm looking for.
QUESTION:
Can anyone tell me where can I get a PGN string for this game? Thanks!
who needs potty mouthed Danya when you get phrases like "bloody the waters"? Love it 😄
Danya we just love you
u r an awesome teacher
You are smaller but for sure the best! People come here for chess, not the drama 🎭
Te amo Danya, literalmente el mejor
If the next speedrun is more geared towards d4-openings, that would be cool!
You make the best chess content on RUclips, sub count aside.
You talked about how important it is to know how to play "boring positions." This is why I play the Slav Exchange variation as White. Slav players *hate* this precisely because it is boring. I have studied the nuances of that variation, however. I can recognize a mistake very easily. Boring your opponent to death is a psychological tactic - especially if they're an aggressive, attacking player.
You just changed it, now it’s bloody the waters👍lol
I still think that bh2 might have been played even before re6...great video! thanks!
I don't care if the title is ironic, it's still eye rolling
