- In this video, I play a fifteen-minute game on Chess.com against a player rated approximately 1200, talking through each of my moves and explaining both my opponent's mistakes as well as the strategies that led me to a swift and crushing victory.

“this GM is really taking his time with his move. maybe i have him stumped?”
Daniel: “Okay let me spend some time explaining how much of a dumbass move this was”
Funnily enough, I think that if GMs take their time before moving, they give more time for the opponent to think and the game quality increases.
Honestly I would be honored if a GM used my bad chess as a teaching method.
I would put the knight d4 before taking the bishop, because the bishop is still hanging and the queen is attacked at the same time. But I guess the position transposes. However putting the knight on d4 first looks more juicy.
Hahahahahahah
@@jonathanamwoza2157 And here we see the classical Amwoza blunder
"My opponent plays a bit of an enigmatic move" was a very respectful way of saying what you were trying to say.
Yeah, definitely added that phrase to my daily Lexicon lol
LOL
enigmatic move aka "lol this dude just fucking blundered"
@Yuri Lopes to be fair, I've done my fair share of those... If I had a nickel for every time I analyse my own game and go "wtf?" when I see one of my moves...
@Yuri Lopes 100% agree. Had to be a misclick. Not putting it past a 1300 to commit a 1 move blunder, but so many of his moves were quite sensible and then this random queen move comes out of nowhere, accomplishes nothing and blunders a bishop. No way did he intend to make that move.
He makes it look so easy.. i watched this and confidently opened lichess to lose 4 games in a row.
Right? A person who’s truly passionate and good at something always makes it look like a breeze it’s amazing
Hahaha relatable
LMAO. IM JUST ABOUT TO DO THE SAME
😂😂😂Loved this comment man!
every time, buddy
“And now I will begin delivering a series of devastating blows.”
Harsh.
Loved your videos. Keep up the good work

yeah lol xD
watch Pawn Sacrifice decent movie
this is why my rating is so low.. I keep getting matched up with GM's
Nonono, it's because your teammates are terrible, of course!
Ugh, my pawns are so awful at this game. I tell them to checkmate and they end up just getting themselves killed!
@@omnipresentsnowflake4698 woah man my pawns are rigged too ):
Omni Present SnowFlake mine seem to be doing fine maybe you can call the company you bought them from to get them looked at
Inting pawns. Thats a good username idea hahaha
This is the type of content that beginners like seeing. Direct to the point. There are online content out there by other GMs that discusses really just a vague and outright boring manner including philosophies in life making it sound highfalutin and doesn't really attract the novice players at all.
Which video(s) did you see GM life philosophies? I’m interested lol
On the other hand, this type of content is very easy to make and is super abundant. Any player 1200< knows everything he says. I am 1900 in rapid on lichess, and find there is a lack of amateur/ mid range information, that is memorably explained
julien astier chess dojo is great. IM Kostya is great.
julien astier ooh and forgive me for not mentioning hanging pawns. A freakin beast of a channel
@@jackismname really? I thought there were a lot of material out there
yayyy a chess game lower level enough I can understand! Nice vid Daniel.
hi
Portrait art fan here. I love your channel
I have recently been getting into chess and let me say, you had made more sense in one video than every other chess you tuber I’ve watched so far.
higher level* the higher you go, the more you can see.
Factsss. Im here to get better also lol
He explains his opponents mistakes very humbly and kindly, not arrogant or insulting in anyway. He also makes it simple and straightforward enough for lower levels to understand. Very glad to have found this channel!
I mean, would you mock a 3rd-grade student for adding 9 to 12 to 19 instead of 21? Probably not, that's how Daniel's chess skills are compared to that guy.

This was like 10 y/o kid vs. Mike Tyson with a microphone explaining how hard and where he's going to punch next.
I YELLED you're exactly right
True
😂
"So now I'm gonna crush his head with my elbow. He may die but at least I win this round."
Proceeds to kill the kid
That there are "beginners" who will win 100 out of 100 games against you. xD
But dude, as a 1600, your average Master would do the same to me, and a gm would do the same to him, and Carlsen would do the same to a low level gm.
There are simply many rungs on this ladder that are so wide you can't see above you.
So start climbing, because it's fun.
Thank you so much for this. EXACTLY what I was looking for. Expert vs beginner. Most videos that teach chess moves and openings, etc usually do so expecting the predictable moves of other experts. But what about when you don't play an expert, so the moves are very unpredictable. Better to know HOW to think about the game rather than moves. This was perfect. Thank you sir.
Exactly !
Same here!! This is just INCREDIBLY educational for us newbs!!
Daniel "Daniel Naroditsky" Naroditsky

16:02 "That mechanism in his brain that is responsible for detecting threats.. that might have failed." I laughed at this xD
The opponent was rated in the 1200s, and he calls him a beginner. What does that mean for the rest of us amoebas and pond scum that are below 800?

5:55 "Its important to have a stable internet connection" - GM Daniel Naroditsky, 2020
Well he’s not wrong
That didn’t age well
@@colt9758 can you explain?
During the last titled Tuesday, his connection cut out for a minute in a blitz/rapid (not rly sure could’ve been bullet too lol) game causing him to have 6 seconds left on clock vs 1 minute. He lost. Look up “WiFi Blunder” and it will pop up, a vid by chess.com. If you scroll through comments there’s timestamps, but I’m pretty sure it was at about 2:15:00
Edits were for grammar
@@colt9758 nice lmo
The reality is that the beginner didn't play badly at all. He made some minor errors that probably would be OK against most players. It just so happens he was playing a GM.
He did play bad though, blundered his bishop early in the game and a couple moves after around 9:16 he blundered his queen but Daniel didn’t see it probably because he’s explaining a lot of things as he plays
Lmao at 11:30 he explains why he didn’t initially take the queen, shows the difference between a GM and myself 😂
@@adamv9892 when his opponent played Nxf6 it came with check, so no, he never had the chance to take the queen there
@@MrNutburger damn you’re right I completely missed that 🤦🏻♂️😂
@@adamv9892 I think he saw it just fine but he had already check mate ideas on his head. If you take the queen with a knight you cant get that fast check mate after.
Then again im not an expert and might have missed something important.
Truly from the Russian school of teaching chess, no mercy
It’s honestly a very good teaching style, as long as the student can keep their cool and learn from their mistakes
protomous the best players in chess history have never shown any mercy. But I have seen magnus lose to absolute nobody’s a couple of times online😂 but I’m sure Michel Jordan and Tom brady have been out played but they are still the best in there sports history (if you think garry is better than magnus I respect your opinion) but no one else is valid
@@slllyy4985 well you don't even know if those best players are also ever get defeated by a lesser known players. Magnus showed his game so if he's defeated by random people, everyone can know. but in the past, not so much as now
what is daniel's ethnicity? was his first language slavic? sometimes it sounds like he's got a bit of an eastern european accent
@@lerrygindgren2076 I don't know the specifics, but I know he can speak Russian. He does Russian only streams now and then.
I love that chess is a game where you can say, "several centuries ago someone discovered..."
"several centuries ago someone did what we now call "smash" in badminton"
For me, you are probably the most educational chess streamer. Thank you for your content.
Ok this is actually super helpful and instructive
17:20 Thank you Niyoyu for being a punching bag.
You've become my favorite gm to watch because you are one of the greatest gms but more importantly one of the greatest teachers
By far. I stopped watching Hikaru because he’s not very good at teaching. Gotham and Daniel are the best imo
@@MrCEO96 isn't Gotham an IM ?
Tom Atans yeah, he is
@@MrCEO96 Hikaru is good but not for beginners. As an expert level player or higher when Hikaru makes a move or comments on a move we instantly get it. He doesn't go into basic principles and that's fine for more advanced players. He also blurts out sequences several moves deep which are, for the most part, easy to understand for advanced or titled players.
@@MrCEO96The thing with Gotham is that he limits his teaching by underestimating his audience. The majority of times he will tell us to not play complex openings because he only focuses on the noobs. He is cool when playing too but his repertoire is kinda limited I would say? But yeah my point that you can watch gotham only if you are a weak intermediate. After that a lot of Naroditsky and if you keep evolving watch hikaru
I find this so interesting, its like watching a fully planned out presentation but hes freestyling the whole thing. Its almost mechanical how he knows every move and the names of them and who came up with it and background information about the person who came up with the move. I can tell that so much time has gone into this and that this is true talent.
I have never played a game of chess in my life why am I watching this
You should play, as you can see the existence of Grandmasters, it has excellent replay value

Love your vids
I do both BJJ and chess and am amazed at how similar they are.
Wrestling here!
I have literally never seen a GM explain so articulately and accessibly the rationale behind each and every move. This is top notch content, thanks so much!
The connection loss wasn't an internet problem; Niyoyu's fight/flight reaction when he saw who he was playing was just to yank out his cable.

Dear Daniel,
this was a great lesson indeed. It is very seldom applied by GM to explain their mooves in their games. This was a great lesson. I wish you much success in your further path and stay healthy.
Best regards from Germany

Dear thomas4328
This was so great complement for one of my favorite and also one of the best grandmaster of chess. I really appreciate your kind words for such a humble person who is also a world class chess player indeed. I also wish you much success and stay healthy and fit in the future.
Best regards from Tom and Jerry Island
Jerry signing off!
In my opinion, one of the biggest leaps you can make with chess is when you build a habit of articulating your moves to yourself rather than just moving off intuition and experience. The better you can articulate your reasons for the move, the better you become because your level of understanding increases.
Starting to take the dive beyond the basics and it's unbelievable we get this type of free lessons from a GM. Thank you, Daniel! I have been binge watching your videos and appreciate the content you put out.
The first thing I did when I was trying to improve was google "chess master vs beginner" and this was super insightful. Thank you for introducing me to how hard chess can be.
Thank you Daniel, we appreciate you for this
My man is popping off with these BANGERS!!!
*“And I’m just going to say goodbye to that Bishop!”*
i came looking in the comments for someone to bring that up after i saw that lmao
The way he stared straight at the camera for that one was hilarious hahaha
Dani: *absolutely crushed his opponent*
Also Dani: “GG” 💀
No point making the guy feel worse 🤷😜🤣🤣
This was a great video. Simple, informative, and in-depth without belittling his opponent like so many chess masters tend to do in their gameplay videos. I really enjoyed watching. Hope to see more content in the future with tips for chess beginners.
I always start by considering what moves my opponent would want to play if he had another turn. And then, I usually imagine I get two turns and I try to find a crushing plan. It works well for me. The way you look at something will change your perception of the thing you're looking at.
You're a terrific teacher. Thanks for continuing to put out interesting, instructive videos!
Meanwhile I'm wondering why my opponents don't play so badly.
Dude fr. Im 900 and the people I play against play better than this guy. Could’ve been nerves too
Jason Tauro very true. He just made it look so easy
They do. You just play equally as badly. Nardoitsky had his pieces lined up for a checkmate crazy fast. He makes it difficult to defend.
@@rathelmmc3194 Wrong. No legitimate 1200 would leave their bishop en pris in that manner (especially in longer time controls). That guy was either extremely nervous about playing a GM, or he had his rating boosted. But trust me, you do not miss such obvious one move tactics if you actually perform at a 1200 level.
TMaz94, please. 1200s hang pieces like crazy.
Explaining the thought process behind decision making is extremely helpful. I was trying to watch GMHikaru, but when I watched him layout 14 arrows in 30 seconds I kinda realized he's probably not the guy for me. The real icing on the cake was watching Hikaru in slow mow and still not getting it LOL! That was when I really knew.
So exciting Danya is doing this series :)
I feel so calm watching this.
When I play, time is coming for me like that bear coming for Leo in the Revenant.
Daniel did this to help us all get better. He spent his time, set up his tech, educated us... all for free. What a great human being...
"That mechanism in his brain that is responsible for detecting threats may have failed"
I think that this is a genius idea that could really be a smart idea to bring to streaming where you really explain things rather than saying fast coordinates that begginers to intermediate players don't usually understand. I think Danya would be a great candidate for this type of stream. 😁
Daniel Naroditsky: Chess Grandmaster.

Finally a GM explaining chess in a way we can all understand and not showing off by destroying weak opponents and showing off without really teaching anything. This was great
I've recently started playing chess, and have been having a lot of fun with it. Seeing a GM playing against someone on my level and thoroughly explaining his thought process is very nice. Thank you, Daniel. You're very well spoken and I'll definitely keep watching this series.
I’m a new player and please keep doing these videos they help me out on seeing the opponents mistakes much videos don’t explain how to do this well and I love how you play out different scenarios that may happen in a real match.. good content! 👍
"that mechanism in his brain that detected threats failed" hahah made me laugh so hard
I’m just getting into chess again after a trying a couple years ago. Videos like this that explain the moves as you go really open up the concepts to beginners so that we can understand as well. Beautiful presentation and video. Thank you!

I've been trying to figure out how to develop a good middle game and this was so helpful! So many videos fail to outline the strategy behind piece placement without going into super highbrow concepts that confuse beginners. Thank you for this!
Thanks Daniel, you're really helping the chess boom and the newbies that are just getting into chess.
This is awesome! I have never really gotten into chess before, as there was always so many different strategies and ways to play, and I always played more physical sports in HS and College. It was extremely helpful to have you explain each of the moves and the importance of each decision.
Great video. Thanks a lot, Daniel. Really clear and straightforward. I'm going to try and learn better chess to teach my son. He's only four, so for now, I still have the edge :-)
13:20 My first thought was that move
Never been prouder of myself
I have been consistently watching videos from this channel for around five videos, and I must tell you that this channel is GOLD. Thanks, Danya.

My question is why didn't he take the queen at 9:13
@@jamesmoses4066 white knight check on black king
"now it's time to deliver a series..of..crushing..blows." THAT CRACKED ME UP!
I learn chess after pogchamp 1, from complete beginer, now Im 800 thanks to youtube chess like this.
This man has really exquisite word choice
"And now it is time to deliver a series of crushing blows" 😂
After Bxf3+, I calculated Qxf3 Qxf3+ Kh2 Qg2# (played in-game) and Kh2 Rg2+ Kh1 Rxf2+ Kg1 Rg2+ Kh1 Rh2+ Kxh2 Qf4#, which is a beautiful double check into rook sac for a forced mate without taking white's queen or rook...
completely missing that after Bxf3+ Kh2 there was Qf4# already. Sometimes, I just miss strong moves in an attempt to guarantee a win.
Anyway, thanks for the easy-to-follow explanations! Very helpful for a beginner like myself.
This came up in my recommendation and I definitely subscribed. Such a helpful video for absolute beginners! I’m new to all this and it was explained so clearly and very digestible too.
How is your chess going now? :)
7:10 lol that escalated quickly 😂
This video is so insanely helpful. I just started playing because of the show The Queen's Gambit.
Love to hear it!
This was amazingly useful. You're very articulate Daniel and it really helps while you're explaining the theory and reasoning behind your moves. I've only been learning for a month or so but I'm struggling to break 1000. The info about the pin on the queen with the bishop was exactly contradictory to how I'd been playing : I'd been looking at the queen as a way to retake the bsihop if he took the knight, so as not to break my pawn structure. I would always have left the pin. I'll be watching more of your videos. Thanks for making them !
Awesome to see a grandmaster explain the basics. I'm a 1400 player and learned from this video. Thank you, and please keep them coming. You've got a new subscriber.
I wish he had said something mentioning that his opponent started with 15 minutes but got checkmated with 14 still remaining
Yooooo this was amazing. Learned a lot from just this one game as a beginner
Man Daniel you’re unreal, I’m rated 700ish blunder under pressure knowing I am playing a 10 minute game. Yet you’re calmly explaining so throughly and well every single move and winning in 2.5min I really appreciate your content thank you so much
You are awesome, I enjoy your logic and thought processes
15:00 in this position, if white doesn't immediately go Bd5, but rather g4 first, Bg6 and then Bd5, there is no attack anymore to give up the rook for. So black would have to play Kd7, white plays Bxc6+, black Kxc6 and white is 1.5 better because the king is so forward. Plan is to just bust open the position with pawns, playing either a4 or even b4.
Imagine if the opponent found this line. Would have been a though stream haha
Lesson from this video: Chess is like a conversation. Remember to listen to what your opponent is “saying”.
Imagine thinking you just beat a grandmaster but in reality he accidentally knocked his own internet out with his foot. lmfao
Just stumbled to this video. This guy should give chess lectuers in public universities, just amazing. I love how he simplifies the game.
easily my favorite chess streamer. thank you for being active. You're concise and frankly, brilliant. I really appreciate your content. You make chess seem simpler and you're even helping with my chess anxiety. Thank you thank you thank you.
Sharpest, clearest explainer of chess on RUclips by a considerable margin. Really impressed.
16:00 did he just casually insult the guy? "Yeah his brain.. just failed."
No, the part of the brain that detects threats failed. Not his/her entire brain.. It happens, sometimes you play fast and not pay enough attention and blunder a piece..

A reading from the book of Naroditsky: And so the Prophet, thy lord, spake upon his flock, “learn from my fallen foe’s mistakes ye mighty, and thou shalt prosper in thine hall”. And his flock rejoiced, for many hath not known of a solid defense for the Ruy Lopez opening. After by the Prophet’s will, after time and dedication put in by his flock, they too found their ranks engorged. Amen.

This was a fantastic summary/explanation. I'm just getting back into chess after around 12 years away from the game, back when I was Class A/Expert (around 1950/2000) and this video sparked a whole bunch of memories and lessons learned back then. You've definitely earned a new subscriber, going to be watching many more of your videos!

while i'm not a GM, i am in the upper 90%...played every day for the last 4 years...
chess is like 100 games in 1.
Oddly, chess is like playing madden NFL on xbox.
Playing madden, when you line up on offense, your offensive playbook has about 50-100 plays to choose from with different formations.
in chess, the first 10 moves are like picking your offensive play. you have to learn and memorize the line.
In madden you can pick screen pass, or slant pass or hail mary.
In chess, you can pick things like italian opening, queens gambit, or kings gambit...
Likewise, defensively, you can pick blitz, field goal block, or man coverage.
In chess, there are defenses like Sicilian defense, Karo Cann, or French defense.
In both games, the outcome will depend on how educated the player is to recognize the opening and set themselves up with the proper audible or the proper formation.
In madden, if i called a hail mary pass, and you picked field goal block, you will get murdered by a quick throw for a touch down.
Likewise, in chess, if you do not deploy the correct line early, you are essentially playing a failed game.
In madden you see the results in 1 down. In chess, you see the results over the course of the entire game.
High level players know the lines and the counters, or enough of the counters to get them deep.
The more formations and counters you know, the higher your rating will go. But remember, a single formation can have many variations depending on the strength of your opponent. How well you know the fried liver attack on move 6 and move 12 depends on experience.
All these generic videos about looking to where to place your bishop or to put pieces in the center of the board are straight garbage.
If you seriously want to get good...
Learn the formations or you are playing with no purpose.
The single most important thing you can do is to analyze your game after its over. And not just a simple analysis, you need to find out what move your position changed from positive to negative, and do a deep 30+ move engine analysis and let the computer think. Narrow it to the top 2 lines and study what the best move and continuation is. Eventually, you will narrow your errors and play like a pro.
Took me 30,000 games and 4 years playing every day...
Tactics, end game and the rest will fall into place over time.
Its a fun game, and players get stuck not realizing that there is no magical "line" that will win every single game.
This is the reason bobby fischer said "tactics flow from a superior position."
It took obi wan 20 mins to gain the high ground against anakin.
In chess, sometimes you can get the high ground fast, and sometimes it takes 20 moves...
Good luck out there!
Where? How? Just google “opening chess formations” and start reading?
Great advice, and I have made a copy of it to look at it and to understand it fully over time. Could you just do me a favor. Edit it and Skip the first line, because this deserves more likes, but the first line just puts a shadow over it all, the rest for me is just pure gold.
@@jasonacraft ya bro just dive into it. I started with learning italian game and the variations and also how to defend against it. Fried liver attack is fun to learn
