I always wait for your videos which is very instructive and helped me a lot yesterday i defeated 1900 rated player because of these amazing speedrun. Please never stop doing these amazing speedrun. Thanks.
I'm French and I'm obsessed with your speedruns, it is sooo useful and you are so good at teaching simple principle of chess. I'm totally in love with your approach . Thank you for all of us who are still struggling with this deep game. This is an amazing content. Thank you from France with all my heart for that content !
Hey danya thanks for sharing with us your amazing grandmaster insight in these lower rated games. Your methodological and concise ideas combined with your knack for teaching really help make chess such an accessible & enjoyable sport for the masses, keep it up man!
Another early upload. Another appreciation comment to my sensie the legend danya. Just watched a brilliant match you played on agadmator's channel. an amazing attacker with the black pieces. Always a joy to watch
King Danya with another timely upload 🙏. Been going through a slump in the last few weeks but re watching the speedrun videos is slowly getting me back to playing, and improving. Thanks for all the educational content 💙
Thanks to Danya for these videos. Last week my brother played this in his school tournament and won the match. He follow your videos religiously. He's making notes for every variation in your videos
this is really cool and we get to kind of be involved in your thought process. it hepls a lot and i'm starting to just go on small binges of your videos to just learn these techniques and gain new perspectives. really great content, and you're making a really great service to the chess community!
Napoleon actually earned the respect of his men by loading and aiming the cannons, wich he placed at the front of his troops. So that is not a good example of a general to pick for this analogy
Awesome vids, probably the most helpful chess series ever. Something irrelevant: I've noticed that in a lot of vids you pronounce Pirc as "Perk". Just wanted to say that it's actually pronounced "Pirts".
@@DanielNaroditskyGM Oh ok Ι see. Well for me personally it was a little bit more confusing, since my native language is not English and I learned them different. The most confusing to me was Alekhine to be honest, I knew it as "Alyehin" (the russian way) when I was a kid and hearing people call him "Alekein" in English confused me into thinking he was someone else lol Anyways, keep making those, they are the best.
There's a popular trap in the Caro-Kann with a similar idea Starts 1. e4 c6 2. Nf3 d5 3. Nc3 dxe4 4. Nxe4 Bf5 5. Ng3 Bg6 6. h4 h6 7. Ne5 Bh7 Then 8. Qh5 threatening mate. Black typically responds with 8 ... g6 White then playing 9. Bc4! Using danger levels.. if black takes queen, Bxf7# is game over. So black plays 9 ... e6 And then comes the move 10. Qe2. It looks passive, but it carries a huge threat. Let's say black plays 10 ... Nd7, looking to trade off the knights.. 11. Nxf7!! Is basically GG. If 11 ... Kxf7, then 12. Qxe6+ Kg7 13. Qf7# is game over A similar tactic, with the knight exploiting the weakness of the pawn and the queen teaming up with the bishop.
How to crush the scandi in short notes: step 1:be 1k rating points higher Step2:know tons of theory and punishing lines Step 3: Recognize and punish opponents mistakes while playing top moves. Thanks for this insightful video that we all can learn from :) gonna have 100% win rate from herr on out
Спасибо Даня, что делишься с нами своими гроссмейстерскими шахматными знаниями! Очень интересно и поучительно. Постараюсь применить полученные знания в своих партиях. Молодец, так держать! 😃👍
Hi Danya! I absolutely love your videos. One minor thing, though : there is no need for this clickbaty titles. You will crush any opening if your opponent plays bad moves...
Unbelievable! I analyzed the game with Stockfish and it turns out that instead of playing Ne5, Bxf7 wins on the spot! Furthermore, instead of playing Qf3, Qe2 or g4 win on the spot. Stockfish is unbelievable, like WOW.
I think you forgot to cover 8. g4, with the idea of Bh7 but then Qe2. For any move after, say Qe7, then g5. If hxg5 then Bxg5!! with the idea of Qxg5, Nxf7, Kxf7 then Qxe6#. Very instructive video nonetheless, thanks Danya!
I'm between 1700 and 1800 never knew about this tactic.. I feel like I'm stuck on this rating and I cannot go up I lose really easily to 2000 and above.
The Scandinavian used to be a frustrating opening to deal with. Not anymore. I tend to win as white now against the Scandi except if black plays solid in the middle game. Still working on my middle game.
I had an idea for your next speedrun, could you try making a system based one? e.g. with white you play openings like the London and Colle System, with black you play things like the KID. My thinking behind this is that you can show how to adjust your play if your opponent isn’t playing critically, which is a big weakness of London players etc
I hope he doesn't. It just encourages ppl to play system openings....which actually is good for me, because I always destroy players that do, so maybe I hope he does do that.
Once again in just the first half a dozen moves we see unprovoked inaccuracies by the player actually choosing their opening - not because of any surprises. As a beginner it seems pretty weird to see 1400-1600s not aware… or maybe they’re used to bouncing back in the middle game? I’m beginning to wonder if this is fairly common behavior - maybe some kind of distain for “theory” or some antiquated advice about not bothering with openings until you’re rated higher. Idk. And again excellent talking through the thinking by GM Danya!
If black didn't miss the tactical sequence, his set up would have held off an attack for a lot longer. It was quite solid - h6 is a passive move but it also restricts white's knight and dark square bishop. It's only a problem if your opponent takes advantage of the difference in tempo because you waste a move playing h6, which a GM like Daniel can do.. not always other 1400s So ya, it looks easy when Daniel does it but it's not always so simple to refute these types of inaccuracies.
My online rating is only 1100 but I finished the Chessable course on the Scandi and black's play was terrible. Qd8 c6 and h6 I mean really I was shocked. The opening is a race against time and its matches like this that make me think I should get back into playing online and pump up my rating.
I'm only 1100 blitz, but many of my opponents can play quite nonsensically in the opening. It really doesnt matter much, because I still often fail to punish it and might lose later in the game (or paradoxically I often lose on time because I get fixated on them playing "wrong", trying to think of a way to punish them for too long). I think spotting tactics, and also general "strategy", is much more important, even though I just find studying openings fun.
When you first try out an opening, you're going to lose a lot if you didn't study all the moves (compared to openings where you're more familiar with the ideas). It seems plausible to me that h6 was to prevent a fried-liver style attack. If you're used to 1. e4 e5, you don't necessarily notice that e6 is available to blunt the bishop.
h6 was admittedly bad but c6 is a key move in lots of Scandi variations (the structure where Black has pawns on c6 and e6 makes me think "Scandinavian" just as much as "Caro-Kann") and Qd8 is the original main line! And still the #2 most popular square to retreat to after Nc3 iirc. Anyway, even though moves like h6 are bad, they're not THAT bad. You can't expect to blow someone off the board just because they play a few minor opening inaccuracies...unless there's a four digit rating different between you and your opponent of course!
Can you play a knight f3 in the future, i play that since i hate playing into what an opponent likely plays all day. At ytour level sure, you know so much but at my level its tough to play into what others want, plus Nf3 is also a good move from the engine.
I always wait for your videos which is very instructive and helped me a lot yesterday i defeated 1900 rated player because of these amazing speedrun. Please never stop doing these amazing speedrun. Thanks.
1900 rated in chess com or lichess
i just got a spider-sense-esque tingling sensation that daniel just uploaded a new speedrun and lo and behold here it is
Me too!
The normal people call it notifications
Some people call it intuition 😌
I'm seriously impressed again and again how entertaining and educational these Speedrun vids are.
I'm French and I'm obsessed with your speedruns, it is sooo useful and you are so good at teaching simple principle of chess.
I'm totally in love with your approach .
Thank you for all of us who are still struggling with this deep game.
This is an amazing content.

Thanks to Danya for these videos.
Last week my brother played this in his school tournament and won the match. He follow your videos religiously.

You're seriously the best in the business.
You are a very natural and intrinsically motivated teacher. You definitely found your profession.
"This is flirting whit disaster" that quote made me laugh
3:50 really sums beginner scares like my own
Thanks for that
Napoleon actually earned the respect of his men by loading and aiming the cannons, wich he placed at the front of his troops. So that is not a good example of a general to pick for this analogy
He’s busy tending to his rooks not leading bayonet charges. Alexander the great fought with his men, is the bad example you’re looking for.
Which was probably a stupid move even though it worked
There is nothing we can do
Mostly at the beginning of his career, but 99% of the time he wasn't active in the fighting
Thank you sensei! What a time to be alive! We have access to such great teachers of chess!
5:55 napoleon famously did fight on the front lines
thank gosh I struggle with the Scandinavian variation and you are the apogee of youtube chess!
Opponent: plays his first move
Danya: now this is a decisive mistake
These video timings have been ruining my sleep schedule in the best way possible.
Danya sporting those Три полоски like a true russian schoolboy
That game you played in the previous video for this Speed Run where you blundered a piece and tried to come back was incredible. Need more like that
Just was I was hoping for! 🙌
I love how this opponent only uses their time AFTER their position has utterly collapsed.
great video as always !
Awesome vids, probably the most helpful chess series ever.
Something irrelevant: I've noticed that in a lot of vids you pronounce Pirc as "Perk". Just wanted to say that it's actually pronounced "Pirts".
Thanks for the note! I am aware of that, but generally I try to pronounce things in the most understandable way, even if its technically not correct.
@@DanielNaroditskyGM Oh ok Ι see. Well for me personally it was a little bit more confusing, since my native language is not English and I learned them different.

that tactic was sick, thanks
What a thoroughly enjoyable game. You have taken the fun out of Netflix and Prime.
"I can show you fifteen examples of this knight F7, queen F5 business" - please do!
There's a popular trap in the Caro-Kann with a similar idea
Starts 1. e4 c6 2. Nf3 d5 3. Nc3 dxe4 4. Nxe4 Bf5 5. Ng3 Bg6 6. h4 h6 7. Ne5 Bh7

A similar tactic, with the knight exploiting the weakness of the pawn and the queen teaming up with the bishop.
This also happens in the Tennison Gambit variation of the Scandi 1. e4 d5 2. Nf3 exd 3. Ng5

Dayna "the queen is the supporting actress" Naroditsky
When the time of the video is less than 20 minutes, you know the opponent got smashed. Lol This is going to be good!
Wow.Learned again with GM Naroditzki.
Great video, easy to digest
Wow Danya and Levy are both making content for my specific rating rn, what a time to be alive
Levy confuses the ish outta me and the excessive marketing is so annoying. Sensei is clear and makes me think.
Спасибо Даня, что делишься с нами своими гроссмейстерскими шахматными знаниями! Очень интересно и поучительно. Постараюсь применить полученные знания в своих партиях. Молодец, так держать! 😃👍
You don't want Napoleon at the front line but actually even further behind the enemy lines
I would like to hear your top two or three choices for openings for white and black for lower rated players.
there goes me playing the Scandinavian.
I love this guy!
Hi Danya! I absolutely love your videos. One minor thing, though : there is no need for this clickbaty titles. You will crush any opening if your opponent plays bad moves...
So grateful to you danya
It's going to be really awesome watching Danya vs John Bartholomew playing some bullets.

after black's Bf5, I wanted Bxf7+ for white, any reason not to?
Respect!

thanks danya😇😘
Didnt Napoleon regularly fight on the frontlines?
Thank you again Daniel. I'll try this instead of a Tennison Gambit
Try the ICBM
@@geckogeico2212 icbm is the tennison gambit
Thanks
Does anyone know the name of the intro song?
You should do a Speedrun where you make really risky moves and still win
"these things are real and occur in real games"
I don't know who made a video on it recently but all the 1500s are playing the scandi with Qa5 on me the last week or so for whatever reason.
Me an intellectual playing the scandi since I was 1000 and casually losing all games
I'm between 1700 and 1800 never knew about this tactic.. I feel like I'm stuck on this rating and I cannot go up I lose really easily to 2000 and above.
The Scandinavian used to be a frustrating opening to deal with. Not anymore. I tend to win as white now against the Scandi except if black plays solid in the middle game. Still working on my middle game.
The scandinavian always seemed to me better than caro kann for beginners because it's more simple.
the amount of times I've sac'd the G pawn to trap the queen after E4 Nc3 Be2 is getting old at this point
yeesh I think this guy might be done with chess for the next few days lol
I had an idea for your next speedrun, could you try making a system based one?
e.g. with white you play openings like the London and Colle System, with black you play things like the KID.

If u play the London you get no girls
@@jackbakey7251 cheers mate
The London is for low test guys
I hope he doesn't. It just encourages ppl to play system openings....which actually is good for me, because I always destroy players that do, so maybe I hope he does do that.
@@shmurfy4971 Cheers boys
Just devastated by Danya. Wow.
"how to crush 1400elo player"
Just crushed one down a queen
Hey Daniel can you please play the French?
Thank you for your instructing videos, much love 💙

Do an instructive video on CATALAN Opening
John Bartholomew disapproves of this message
You're best
The ICBM is the best way to play ngl
What's type two undefended pieces? Also I wish your opponent played properly! People who I play against know what they are doing
I'm a little surprised that he missed 7.Bxf7+
What an absolut privilage this is.
John 14:21
nice game
Thanks for these uploads, have an engaging comment in return my guy!
Am I the only one who thinks Daniel looks like Donnie Darko?
Thanks. Aloha
I use the Scandy a lot
Earlier there was queen takes h6 checkmate
Nice game by the way
Rook takes
Opponent played like an 800
and sometimes he plays like 2100
After h6, barely a scandi
"Maybe we should be Russian" 😬😬 lol
Scandi players run the clock out instead of resigning.
Can you play a knight f3 in the future, i play that since i hate playing into what an opponent likely plays all day. At ytour level sure, you know so much but at my level its tough to play into what others want, plus Nf3 is also a good move from the engine.
because people bid the rates down to 1%
Someone really should put all his tactics in lichess. Call it Danya's tactics.
I play the scandi modern
😎🤙
i got 100 accuracy by following danya queen gambit decline instruction hahahaha....
جميل 1 اسكندنافي،
Did Daniel just play openly play hope chess with Qf3? I thought you weren't supposed to play hope chess
That is not hope chess.
@@TheMrInfantaria yes, he's hoping black doesn't play Qxd4 and instead blunders, and black does blunder, but Qf3 is just a bad move
@@TheMrInfantaria he literally said "im hoping my opponent doesnt find the [best?] move [or else it doesnt work]" lol
As I understand, he just wanted to show nice tactic. Also it was ok move as he showed in post-game analysis.
In analysis, his position is still okay but it's a bad move because he went from winning to okay from it.
lol im stuck at 500
