      He's number 167 in the world by FIDE with 478 games, peaked at 2647 ELO. 2700+ is Super GM, so that would make him one of the best ordinary GMs in the world, before super GMs, even though super GM isn't an official title.

    @travisSimon365 2 года назад +150

    For me, this is an example of how watching professionals play each other can distort your perspective. Watching pro NBA players, you start to appreciate the subtle differences between them, and you think that the variation in skill is minute, but significant. And with chess, maybe it's just better prep? Who has a better memory for long sequences?
    And then you see the odd video of a pro play at a playground, and they are effortlessly making shots from incredible distances, and you see how amazing they really are.
    I'm not saying Naroditsky is street-ball league, but I sometimes forget just how incredibly good Magnus really is. But watching him play against non- super-GM is like, '. . . oh, yeah, I see now. Sorry about that, I kinda forgot.'

    • @ShiningLion
      @ShiningLion 2 года назад +6

      Yeah, like, the thing with Naroditsky is he shares so much of his knowledge and so understandably on his YT channel. You get a lot of games from him when he plays really principled chess, then finds some alien line a 2000 or under could never see in their dreams, and wins an opponent easily with that line or some variation he adapts into on the fly if the opponent is playing especially well. Enter super GMs, who see those same lines as Danya, and more, counter them with ease, and often when two enormously good players who give each other absolutely nothing, they win with a sheer grind. Positioning, forcing an error or inaccuracy, making an occasional non-move if there's nothing to improve... heck, the difference often seems to come to something like one pawn push that shouldn't have happened, but super GM forced you to do it. That's enough for a seemingly narrow endgame win, but the super GM likely found that win 10-15 moves prior. This is completely different world to normal person's internet chess. :D

      If you watch enough top players they almost always move their king out of pins precisely because of this crap. I mean, I don't even think they give it a lot of thought. It's just, "I don't wanna calculate what happens if my opponent exploits this pin so I'm getting out of it." Amazed Magnus left himself in the pin and I suspect Naro finds the move against just about anyone else. Since, yah, I saw it too almost immediately. Fairy dust indeed.

    Also called the Durkin Attack after Bob Durkin of the Shore Knights Chess Club, Ventnor NJ.
    I played him in a team match. We were 2nd board. He was 1900 at the time and I 1600. (even numbers btw)
    Our team, Stockton State College was a man short. Minus one point.
    With trembling hand, I played f4, the Bird's opening. Withing 20 moves I blundered a knight.
    I was in trouble until he thought to pile up a triple cannon on me when he could have straight out won by force already.
    My team captain said he went into autopilot.
    With that one tempo I managed to turn things around and on move 40, I forked his K and Q with a pawn on d5 and F5.
    Somehow our 3rd board fish got a draw (no less surprising than my game). Our first board had good chances, could have drawn and it would have been a great day for the underdogs with 2-2, but alas, we lost.

    See if you can find the move(12:18) . By the way two GMs missed this move, but surely an 1100 can find it. I love it! Keep em coming.

    Greetings Levy from a small country in the world called Cuba. After 20 years, partly because of your videos, I went back to playing chess. In the end it went well for me but I didn't care, I love chess and this time, unlike before in my younger years, I played to have fun not looking for a result, in a certain way I try to instill that in my youngest son who just started in this wonderful world of the 64 squares, I always tell him that the effort is required, not the result... anyway: thanks for your fun and instructive videos and one day if you can I would like you to make a video where you delve into the Pelikan variant that it's my favorite.
