How Naroditsky Defeated Caruana At The US Championship!!!

[@johnrusty2298]

My heart almost stopped when he said he wasn't sure if people were interested in the game. I was watching so close at the time and thinking it was a crazy position felt like he was about to stop explaining, and i had a miniature heart break haha. Such good explanation and such a cool win.

[@knightshade1463]

Yeah, I cannot believe people would even seem to not be interested in this! Great analysis!

[@dinkleberg794]

Yea this was one of the most interesting chess videos I’ve ever seen. Not often do we get such detailed analysis of such high level chess from one of the players in the game!

[@ordoabchao3]

what do you expect from twitch viewers

[@bruce285]

they probably weren't saying much cos they were just as wrapped up in it as us haha

[@pushingyourownagenda9889]

i feel like danya didnt explain it as deeply as needed..i was thinking about a 2 hr analysis..damn

[@scheimong]

It's incredible to me how slim the margins of victory are at your level. One inaccurate move in a seemingly innocuous position, and the entire advantage evaporates.

[@LooseToots]

To be fair the position was highly tactical and the advantage was extremely slight to begin with

[@DanBorens]

@@LooseToots still insanely impressive

[@chuckyfox9284]

I feel that most of my moves would lose such a game

[@fujiapple9675]

"Innocuous!" That's a real Stanford Danya move!

​@chuckyfox9284 what do u think? if they wouldnt then u would be playing at their level

[@thegoldenboy3206]

I suddenly realised that this guy is the greatest chess teacher of all time. Thanks for teaching us, Daniel! You're awesome!(Btw I got your book, 'Mastering Positional Chess' recently, and it's a truly entertaining and educational read! Well done!)

[@kruksog]

He really is awesome at what he does. Also wanted to say how grateful I am for it. Danya, Levy, and IMRosen are responsible for at least 1k of my rating.

I'm fairly certain Danya himself admitted he considers it to be a pretty bad book btw xD

[@krishras23]

I remember watching this game live. After a couple tough rounds, Danya came back in this fashion. It's not often that someone would want to play for a win against Caruana, but as Maurice said, Danya was here to fight for wins with both colors.

[@kobukflowing]

I didn’t realize this video was 45 minutes until it was over. While yes I haven’t watched many breakdowns of big games against big players, this was such a thrill to watch and I would watch a thousand more of this caliber. Amazing to see such a great player explain their moves and what possibilities they had.

[@joeybrown9952]

Danya your explanation of this game was just as as sharp as your moves. You're a razor on and off the board.

Danya, please change the title to "How I Defeated Caruana At The US Championship". Personal titles get way more views, and part of what makes this video great is the fact that the player himself is analysing it.

I like danya's title. No need to go personal.

[@sleepcycle8032]

Really appreciate the in depth review of this game and hearing your thought process on everything. Huge congratulations for such a well played game.

It would be awesome to see two opponents analyze their game this way. That way you'd get the reason for every move the opponent makes, what he thought his opponent would do vs what he actually planned for, etc.

[@randomguy9084]

Hooray I was hoping that you might do a video on this game. You say sometimes in your videos that you are nothing special compared to some others in classical but here you are defeating world #2 in classical. I think this shows you are still in your prime in your chess game.

is it only doable on high level plays to detect zero threats in a position and decide on a prophylactic move (example 21:28)? do you usually do it on blitz where it's usually aggressive? is the move instinctive or do you have to calculate for that?
