I love all the tangents you go on bringing up random positions to illustrate various points. It's amazing how you have this seemingly infinite reservoir of games in your head!

Man, I never thought of h3 as a preparatory move for unpinning the pieces on demand. I always just go h3 g4 instantly and it destroys my structure. This idea will definitely change my playstyle. Thanks Danya!

Danya should get someone to make a mini doc about his life and how he rose through the ranks in chess, growing up being one of the best players in the country, etc etc. maybe it wouldn’t get the most views ever but it might deserve the most views ever!

[@jackson32]

I love that he has so many subscribers based on him actually teaching you about chess, and in such a great way, no bs entertainment like gotham chess, just normal and great commentary. There are too many people who just want more subscribers so they give you "content". Sometimes it is actually good and funny like the botez sisters, and sometimes in is annoying like gotham chess, but he shows that some people appreciate a relaxed teaching of chess by a very strong player. I have learned so much watching his games.

[@SteveDickman1]

I would most definitely watch!

[@SantiagoRK96]

@@jackson32 I disagree. Gotham is hilarious and provides both informative and entertaining analysis. But we all have different taste, especially in regards to humor. There’s no need to put down any content creator, though. They all offer different content that different people enjoy.

Honestly this is one of the best series of speedruns. He explains it so clearly and it never gets boring. A feast for Chess lovers. I will share this with my friends too. Much love Danya.

[@jedinxf7]

this man was put on earth to make complex concepts simple down to their analytical foundations in the shortest amount of time possible. we are lucky to be alive at the same time as both Danya and KZbin

[@hoegaarden2003]

I really enjoyed seeing the h3 idea used as a preparatory move without g4 shortly after. It's a great resource when needed later in the game. I'll be using this idea for sure. Thanks Danya!

[@charnielduterte3796]

it's also a typical idea in the king's indian. i've seen it many times in aman's speedrun

Average teacher tells complexity but great teacher explain simplicity. Simply great thank you Daniel Naroditsky.🙏🙏🙏 Respect from India.

[@24yroldchessimprover84]

I analyzed every game in the first day of the candidates with a chess engine. I highly recommend it to anyone here. It is nice to see a Danya upload even when the hardest tournament to win is going on!

[@alexwiththeglasses]

Really enjoy the examples of the same core idea at work in other games - they’re valuable so keep them coming! I’d really enjoy seeing GM Danya’s explanations on pawn storms - good, bad, attacking, defending… If I get beyond blunders (beginner here) that common scenario would be a high priority.

[@nephandi2316]

I actually won an online tournament game against a 2100 in february (being myself 1600) with this line, my opponent went queen side castle and it ended pretty much like this x) (I was above my own level in that game, found a brilliant rook sacrifice to open his king with a ~10 moves follow up)

[@big_darkside2716]

[@gregbillenness5973]

Very instructional video 😃

[@trequor]

Danya's awkward analogies are the best

[@Swimming_with_Josh]

“I get this massive diagonal for the knight, I get a very nice perch for the other knight…” my man I know you’re a grandmaster that is incredible amounts of rating points stronger than me, but that just makes that mistake so much funnier. On another note, thank you again for providing such amazing content, unbelievably instructive and entertaining, always a pleasure to watch and learn

Love these videos! I was happy to catch this one live. Thanks for the hard work and patience you put in to make these some of the best instructional content out there.

[@jackson32]

I like this line as white. I have difficulty with the scandi, I am not sure where to put my pieces and sometimes when black castles queenside it can be uncomfortable for my queen of the same rank. Thanks for showing me this, I am going to play it in my games. The fact that black seems to be infatuated with castling queenside so often makes the fianchetto bishop system even better.

[@worsethanjoerogan8061]

How does Danya remember his games that happened years ago? I can barely remember my last Rapid game on Lichess 🤣

[@KironKabir]

He analysed them afterwards so the patterns stay in his head.

[@kittuojha]

danya please make opening videos. you mention a lot of ideas but i would love to see them compiled in dedicated opening videos. And if you make them, please have a beginner asking you questions like "what if my opponent plays this" and "what if I play this move instead"

[@wellsgrant12]

I agree! I would love a queen's gambit or kings indian one. He talks about those so many times but hasn't talked in depth about them too much.

[@worsethanjoerogan8061]

I feel like it's bad to just tell beginners/intermediates specific moves like that. Better to understand the ideas behind an opening. Trying to just memorize theory at lower levels isn't worth it because your opponent is not going to play the best lines/moves.

[@jaeometryjones5000]

@@worsethanjoerogan8061 it's not really about memorizing moves but instead understanding the position and themes of certain openings. Your opponent doesn't have to play theory for you to understand the opening.

@kittu : Actually, Danya is making an endgame series. He might have to work more on that, before starting an openings series. Even prophets are mortal.

[@cobeferraro3464]

I was just recently studying these b4 thursts in the scandi. I didnt know about the fianchetto aproach though combined with b4, but I like that alot. My new setup against the scandi will involve the fianchetto combined with crushing on the queenside.

[@tomasetlin3820]

why arent u commenting on the candidtates?

[@bixcs2]

Hey Danya, you always seem to remember a game of yours that has similar themes to what you’re trying to illustrate. Is there a method to ingraining your own games in your brain? Or is it just as you play more and more you can remember your games after studying them a bit?

[@1001011011010]

He is probably recalling classical games. Imagine you spend hours playing something in a tournament then analyze every move afterward, and this is also part of your job.

Why not d4 instead of d3?
