"2.3 Seconds=20 moves" | Four Knights Scotch | The Sensei Speedrun | GM Naroditsky

[@TryingIGuess]

I love when chat panics over one of the best hyperbullet players running low on time.

[@sharpvidtube]

I remember when I used to be like that, now I see he has 2 seconds, and that's like me having 2 minutes.

[@star-iv]

"Yeah, and there's plenty of time" - Danya with 2.3 seconds on the clock

[@trequor]

Yeah lol. That little panic alarm at 20 seconds just means that Danya has up to 200 moves remaining. An eternity in chess.

[@OneMasterDisaster]

Me when I’m deciding how to convert a winning position: 28:30 The engine: 28:33

Cracked me up

[@ivel17]

Lmfao

[@kingsgambit]

that was hilarious xD

[@sbxftr]

omg 😂😂😂

[@lavpanchal3265]

For fucking real 😭🤣

[@geoffreymak000]

I like how he says “and there is plenty of time” at the end with 2 seconds on the clock 😂

[@BlanBlan19901990]

Dude I was just gonna comment this lol

[@sharpvidtube]

It is lots of time, compared to some previous games I've seen, where he does many moves in the last second. An impressive skill.

[@descendency]

I'd love to see Danya play 23 moves in 2.3 seconds... especially against me and especially in a rated game :D

[@carlpederson2701]

just caught his stream for the first time today. dude actually plays dozens of games with 10 second time control and no increment. 2 seconds to him actually is plenty of time

[@trequor]

My man is like Quicksilver in the X-men movies.

[@michaelcaron5756]

I can just picture an announcer voice saying “Naroditsky down to the wire with 2 seconds left, can he do it?!?” 🤣🤣 Danya’s like “I could’ve played this entire game in the remaining 2.3 seconds if I didnt have to stop and explain everything to you mouth breathers” 🤣🤣

[@fredgandolfi2356]

"Plenty of time... TWO SECONDS IS LIKE AN ETERNITY" is an astonishing display of mastery. Because he actually means it. His voice does not change while explaining and wrapping up the game. He stays Zen. He may as well be noting a grocery shopping list. Ftlog. Sensei is on a different plane.

[@brunilda]

I am still dumbfounded by Danya’s humility, like he is really genuinely surprised and pleased when the computer supports his moves, and also he is genuinely open to being shown all the putative inaccuracies. The content is great but I think that is truly a great lesson in chess psychology

[@dominater5]

I mean computers are WAY better than humans at chess, I wouldn't really call it humility.

[@trequor]

@@dominater5 Yeah but good players can find the best move for most moves in games at this level. Man vs Machine is a knockout, but in a game with a GM versus a high level amateur the GM should be making mostly engine moves most of the time. I'm a lowly 1000 elo and I can play above 90% accuracy against lesser players (i.e. my relatives when they wanted to play)

[@impishlyit9780]

I love how you can see the moment when the time gets close and his brain switches from "teaching chess" to "blow him off the board". His instincts are honed for those moments lol.

[@gelatinousjoe7979]

The level difference goes from large to insurmountable for a 2000 when Danya is trying.

[@aravindsfirst]

"Check, take it, and mate" he says while sitting on just 3 seconds. First time I actually clapped to a video on KZbin. SO GOOD!

[@TheQuicksilver115]

You must be new here ;) welcome!! And strap in because that was nothing lol, you're in for a real treat!

[@scottruckel8810]

Thank you very much for all of your free content! I have learned chess pretty much solely through KZbin and have watched a multitude of different creators. I just recently started watching you but you do a wonderful job of breaking down top level gameplay to a point in which everyone can understand! I know myself and many others benefit greatly. Please keep up the great work!

[@KingoftheJuice18]

On this day Daniel invented the concept of the "Pawn-Bishop Battery."

[@yvespratte8668]

You Bet! Lol

[@miguel-espinoza]

That calmness with 2 seconds left... mindblowing!

[@Not-You-Tuber]

Full of information, just a random speed run video can improve your chess understanding quite a bit.. This series is absolutely gold for chess enthusiasts.. Thanks Danya..♥️♥️

[@michaelc8192]

Can you make some history of chess content, different openings, players that innovated in their time etc., love the content

[@eruptrl8893]

Honestly I enjoy the speed run but would love to see some more content from Danya since he’s so good and entertaining

[@tharakakarunarathne2420]

He try to find the fastest mate in a time that I try to find any legal move.

[@Rangerboy030]

[@willhamilton3343]

Loving the high level speed run gameplay. Keep up the great work Danya!

[@pablourosa1443]

For my beginner friends: If you have a rook and king vs knight and king endgame and you don't wanna be forked, place your king and rook on different color squares and you will be unforkable

[@asianb0iiii]

That’s a great tip! It’s simple rules like this that are helpful in reducing blunders under time pressure

[@howedaddy6122]

@@asianb0iiii i mean this comment isn't true though

[@adriankla7947]

Also always check if the pawn endgame is an easy win and sac your rook for the knight makes things waay easier

[@jere3604]

Babe wake up, Danya's new 4 knights' scotch just dropped

[@johnwalker1058]

Danya: *literally has two seconds left* "Yeah, we have plenty of time." *totally calm and nonchalant* Me: "Danya is a real life speedster confirmed."

[@cyin974]

2.3 seconds is also the time it takes for me to click on this video

[@charlesgrube5906]

quite a long time

[@andrewnelson7166]

best sensei speedrun opponent yet

[@zHqqrdz]

8:20 : Me, 1300 : "e5 dxe5 fxe5 Rxe5 Qxd4 wins the knight ? If Danya doesn't see it, it doesn't work, but why ?" Stockfish : "...Qxd4" Ah..

[@alexwiththeglasses]

Cool to get a game with a solid opening and such an instructive middlegame.

[@akseliollikainen8301]

Rb7+ instead of h4 at 15:50 like a good russian school boy forcing the enemy king further back before defending the pawn.

[@ashmanfreepress]

I was getting nervous there and my boy Dan here is like “plenty of time left an eternity”

[@yvespratte8668]

23 moves... I'm crying 😒🤣. By Far, You are the best Streamer Teacher in the World! You have the rare capability to make chess look so easy and understandable. At 57, I'm officially a Self learning Beginner (1200) thanks to You!

[@alexlithgow-bj8bc]

It would be cool to see a gambit speedrun next

[@mkb5743]

Most lower rated players don't even accept gambits. Like he tried to play the Danish Gambit for entire first half of the master class speedrun but people would never go into it (which makes sense because that is really dangerous)

[@badjaeaux]

dude you are the greatest chess teacher and probably the GOAT of chess classes

[@douggieharrison6913]

5:05 dead ass though Danya was hitting a vape lmap

[@ryanboyd4770]

Still loving it-cheers Danya

[@doodoopoo]

dude this is amazing

[@evanbelcher]

14:45 Nope I don't. I don't remotely see how Nf4 is a threat. Whatever it is, I would have blundered it 100%

[@bendshort]

amazing. Thanks Danya.

[@TheAngelOfDeath01]

13:11 should have moved the Black King to f8 instead of moving Pg7. That would have prevented the rook capture sequence or winning both rooks, plus it would also open up for Black Ng4 forking White's Rook and Queen.

[@douggieharrison6913]

2.3 seconds = 20 moves Anyone else hard after reading that title? Watching Danya be mister "wow this player is severly underrated" after opening with e4 and Danya going into actual demon mode to blitz out 5000 moves in 0.04 seconds is such a fucking treat. The best speed run videos end when he has less than 10 seconds which we consider no time, but he considers a fucking eternity

[@drewmiddleton9715]

Here to politely beg for more endgame videos

[@mooglemayhem5958]

At 19:20 is he saying you lose the potential to take a piece from the opponent the bishop? Rather than lose a piece for yourself?

[@kamilklimowicz6160]

Bxe3, Nxg7, Kf8 if you take the bishop back with xe3 black will play Kxg7. In this situation you'll be down a bishop and a knight for a bishop and pawn. If instead you retreat you're knight let say back to f5 then black will treat his bishop and you'll be down a knight for a pawn. In both situations you are down a minor piece, that's what he's saying.

[@ougoah]

"The bishop is an extension of the pawn." mmm... Zennnn

[@nbeqo]

Yeah, fianchettoing the Bishop is what Karpov used to do, he would even sacrifice the e4 pawn.

[@domenicozaza192]

What a player!

[@siddharthjain2799]

Hi daniel can you please play kings indian defence against semish?? I changed my repertoire from QGD to kings indian after seeing your videos. But struggle against semish.
