I love how Danya often starts videos like "hey everyone, sorry but I've been awake for 37 hours now and it's 4am, so I apologize if I come off a little tired" but the videos are always top notch regardless.

[@tristancole8158]

“Sorry I’ve been playing bullet for nine hours and I have to wake up in an hour and a half, so I might only play at a 3100 level today. Apologies.”

For real he is a teaching machine

[@skycaptain95]

The vienna is how I get games with 99% accuracy. It is all you need in life. I have no credit and no money in my bank account. My wife left me and took the kids but it doesn't matter. I have my vienna and no one can take that away. Bless you danya ur vids are amazing.

[@nicosge6742]

amen brother

[@justarandomanimegirlpassin5341]

Sticking to your vienna till the universe stops existing

[@tookaysevon]

Isn't the Vienna like a forced boring equal endgame?

[@adomaskuzinas2137]

​@@tookaysevon lol

[@LaughShield-ik1oe]

​@@tookaysevonWith best play yes, but anything under 2000 you almost always get a better position against black since opponents simply don't know the theory as well as white does

[@Hahahahaaahaahaa]

"Not going to spend 30 minutes on analysis at this level" *actually cuts off in the 29th minute* GM level calculation.

[@fernandoblanco3001]

This level of chess instruction by one of the strongest blitz players in history would've easily cost hundreds of dollars for aspiring chess players back in the day. Thank you sir for your contributions and classiness. You are the epitome of the modern chess grandmaster.

[@Ayan-rh6gj]

I did a lot of Chessable courses.... They are very boring... Danya's videos are much more interesting

[@MadGunny]

This is one of the few channels I will hit like on before I even watch the video

[@n4ymzyt908]

Totally agree

[@chomastiarnoldo1892]

April 1 is on the horizon, a lesson containing nothing but terrible advice could be amazing, especially if he loses every game in that speedrun installment

[@justarandomanimegirlpassin5341]

​@@chomastiarnoldo1892yeah would be hilarious

[@davidshatto7604]

@@chomastiarnoldo1892that’s a great idea

[@MadGunny]

@@chomastiarnoldo1892I would actually really enjoy that haha good idea

[@jujudazoe415]

When I first stumbled on your videos I was a 1200 rapid. Now I’m at 1650 and still improving. Your videos really filled in the gaps for me.

[@Gramps346]

wow you've gotten strong i see good for you! :D

[@justarandomanimegirlpassin5341]

If you extract maximum value from his puzzle solving videos where he literally shows how to calculate and do active rather than passive learning you can go higher

[@econometrics469]

800 to 1450 for me! Danya is the best

[@Gramps346]

damm you're lucky i'm 800 :(@@econometrics469

[@maxhenderson1890]

I think I changed from Gothamchess to Danya at around 1700-1800, I'm now over 2000 rapid

[@Agrantar]

I personally preferred the faster time format and stronger focus on intuition, but I also completely understand that the longer time format is more popular. And it's not like another 15+10 speedrun is a bad thing - thank you for the hard work, Danya! (Just please take care of yourself and don't burn out)

[@tessa8230]

HELL YES DANYA ♥ You could do nothing but 15+10 Speedruns for the rest of your channel and I would still watch every single one. The extra time allows you to really deep-dive into key concepts where you feel necessary, and the advice is always absolutely invaluable. Thank you!

[@kruksog]

I tune in for every speed run video, and that's the only thing I reliably click. Not that I don't love Danya, that's just how it is.

[@ItIsYouAreNotYour]

I'd like him to start with at least 800-1200 since the same rules apply and you won't have AS much dumb moves.

[@bryanp5843]

I was actually looking forward towards the 5 min intuitive based speed runs, so I guess I'm pretty disappointed in seeing that Danya reverted back to the 15 min way. Still speedruns are very important and enjoyable so its not all bad

[@lukarunjic2704]

​@@bryanp5843 I totally agree, especially after already 3 speedrun series with longer time controlz 😏

[@spartanthe300ththermopylae4]

@lukarunjic2704 15 min format lands itself better to more thorough explanations. Everybody is then welcome to apply what they've learned to a blitz/bullet time format if they so wish.

[@ShionYTS]

Maybe you could do two separate speed runs with both time controls? Regardless, I'm here for the ride. Best chess channel

[@mcronrn]

And a third speed run at 27+7? You’re the best, Danya!! 🙄

[@spartanthe300ththermopylae4]

@mcronrn well said! And a fourth speed run with 15/25min + 3/17 secs. 🙄

[@bneal817]

Like you say, you can't please everyone at once. But all the comments and feedback all have one thing in common: we are all grateful for your content Danya. Longer games, shorter games, whatever... just keep doing your thing. No one teaches chess like you. Thank you!

[@cadenhartman235]

💯

[@banzaiburger9589]

As an 1850 player, I find this format extremely instructive and valuable. Thank you Danya

[@chanelverse1833]

Danya, the 15 + 10 format is much unique from the rest of the speedruns on YT for that reason we enjoy and appreciate this format better. As your subscriber I am here to learn and your in depth knowledge is priceless. It’s a blessing to be able to learn from you. Thank you!

[@humphreybumblecuck5151]

That certainly rings true, most chess content creators either play blitz or talk over an analysis board. Talking out your thought process over a longform game is surprisingly rare!

[@user-rr9lj1os7i]

Daniel Naroditsky belongs in the chess hall of fame for his contributions to the game of chess. Mass quantity, ultra quality instruction on openings, tactics, middle game play, positional concepts, fundamentals, endgames, and overall grandmaster philosophy of play. Thankyou sir

[@tajf5529]

Babe wake up, new Danya speedrun just dropped!!!

[@pavlos712]

Babe is already watching

[@cyin974]

Yes honey

[@abramisme]

I enjoy the longer time due to less blunders. Thank you for hearing us!!!!

[@richvienas3153]

A streamer taking on board feedback has to be commended. This is by far the most informative speedrun on the internet. The time taken to analyse positions and possibilities is valued - thank you.

[@NitinPatelIndia]

I jumped with joy when you said you're going back to 15+10. THANK YOU!

[@MrLachose18]

Thank you a lot for listen to your community and going back to longer time control! It is much appreciated

[@OGTox6]

Amazing, the best chess teacher.

[@shaneta4557]

I am so happy you are doing longer time controls! 5 min is just too quick for me to learn much at my skill level. Pumped about this speedrun!

[@mikeslimjimlim]

Danya your care really shows. Thank you for inspiring the next generation and new players like me. Cheers.

[@panchit0666]

Daniel just hearing you is a pleasure, thanks for everything you do for the people out there :) ♥

[@danh72]

It's incredible, yet not surprising, how responsive you are to your fans. Thanks for all you do for us chess fans.

[@JohSmith]

I'm so happy you changed your mind about the time control. Thank you Danya

[@ollivier75]

whatever speedrun you do i'll watch anyway. thank you sensei

[@nwood1311]

You are a fantastic teacher Danya. A lot of top players seem to be poor teachers-But this is not the case with you. Thanks for making these speed-runs available to everyone on KZbin. 🙌

[@judeschreiber2807]

This is amazing the deep analysis allows me to understand the game at a higher level and to look through the lens of one of the best players

[@love.flower.chainsaw]

Thank you for switching back to the longer time control! I really prefer this.

[@nuismus]

Thank you Daniel for returning to the 15 minute speedrun format. It's quite literally my favorite content on youtube. My improvement has not been as spectacular as some of your other viewers, but I'm having a lot of fun trying to get better using your suggested opening repertoire. Cheers!

[@flipsidenick9190]

Love to see it, great vid!

[@dcmayo]

I very much appreciate the longer time control. Thanks for taking the feedback!

[@LCTchess2]

Thank you for seeing the feedback, i love how you handled this and loved the new format even more!

[@huomer]

I am really glad you are back to 15 minute games!

[@gallagherian08]

Don’t usually comment, but I promise I don’t click so fast on anything else. Thank you for you time, knowledge and execution. You articulate well, and draw out the beauty of the game in a fundamental way- never boring. Thank you.

[@christopherstokes9393]

31:13 - "So we're going to face a lot of Philidors and a lot of... ermm, a lot of sidelines" Yes, "sidelines" is a family-friendly way to describe what Danya was probably thinking here!

[@SRMi]

Thanks for being so responsive to feedback! I didn't comment on the earlier videos (I think..) but I do prefer these longer time controls as well.

[@Brian3xm]

You are simply the best, Sir, in these teaching formats. Thank you

[@Susimaka]

Thank you from listening to the feedback Danya. I didn't complain myself, but I do agree that this time control format is better for my learning. Also, while I slightly prefer 15+10, I think a straight 10 minute time control is just fine if you're a little worn out. Keep up the great work :)

[@ralphderkapitaen9875]

great video! thanks for your thought process on all the combinations and possibilities!

[@erickonrad9962]

I can’t express my appreciation for this guy!

[@Thatotter223]

Thank you Dan. I completely agree with your logic behind 15+10 and am thankful you changed your mind.

[@benhenry6248]

Agreed that the 15|10 time control is great for instructional videos. Keep up the good work 👍

[@thetransferaccount4586]

the amazing speedrun series is back

[@Embacherz]

Never clicked faster

[@ssonal]

1:02:04 "that was very 1600 of me" sums up a lot of my games 😂

[@kryanbart]

Thank you Daniel for your humility and honorable character in the intro. I greatly admire you on the board, but i am overjoyed that i can say i equally admire your character.

[@haddymcbatty]

Thanks for the honesty and transparency Danya. Love the videos. I’m here for the long run. Keep up the great work.

[@Whooboy]

Thanks for the time control adjustment! I agree. I love to hear you explain your reasoning with the moves !

[@drjuju3331]

I’m glad you decided to go back to the longer time control. Thanks man.

[@malik-rajan]

Thank you for switching back, Danya! the 15+10 format allows me to take some time to think with you at each move, and the more relaxed vibe of this format gives me more time to really digest the logic behind your moves, and thus improve my skills. Love what you do, thank you!

[@Wes_Reed]

Absolutly Love the format and videos. Thank you Danya!

[@tonyaglioti555]

I was looking forward to the 5-minute blitz format, but I’m excited again for this longer format as it definitely more instructive! Great first video Danya 👏👏 keep it up 👍

[@jurygoose1422]

Nice Video I'm glad I got to see it on Twitch for the first time!

[@danm8487]

So happy you're doing another speedrun!

Love how you play against everyone as if they are a gm. Please keep this up. Thank you sm danya❤

[@giiigachadsr9960]

Great Video. Glad to see 15+10 format.

[@SolarWindDark-di9nd]

The discussion of your attacking the london with c5 was so awesome. Ty, learned a lot.

[@kevinbarzel5163]

Thank you for the new series! It is so great you changed the format back to longer time control games

[@GiggityGooh]

Woo finally!

[@BigChimpin1]

Danya, these videos have been the most helpful chess tool out there. I can sympathize with your hesitation to starting a new, identical speedrun to those you already did. But each game is so different and warrants different discussions. I go back and rewatch your previous speedrun catalogs when I have similar positions in my games. I am so excited for another speedrun

[@ruthxk7844]

I would watch regardless, but yes, 15+5 is the perfect speed! Anything you make is highly educative, but at this pace I can assimilate/understand/integrate better. Thanks again Danya :')

[@abdullahmohammed20y]

Omg I love this series so much please make more vids like these

[@TheMosayat]

Crazy! I was just rewatching his past speedruns. Wishing he'd drop a new vid. And here it is 😂

[@chickenman1163]

Sorry more people weren’t really feeling the five minute structure, but I’m glad you’re still making speedrun videos. I will keep watching them as long as you’re making them, regardless of what format you choose. Love this series! Nobody teaches chess like you do!

[@T1J]

i also appreciate the longer time controls. i love the more in depth explanations

[@vm0033]

Over an hour of 15+10 time control is heavennn. I do feel a little bad for players who enjoyed the blitz and for Danya too since it looked like he was having fun with it, but i’m also happy to see it’s not just me who was yearning for the long games. I’ve been through the majority of chess content KZbin has to offer and there are certainly a lot of skilled players AND teachers, but nothing has done more for my personal progress than this channel :))

[@spartanthe300ththermopylae4]

@vm0033 yep, 15+10 time format FTW!

[@jrcambria92]

Yes! Thank you Daniel

[@Dmatafonov23874]

15 minutes is perfect ❤ Thank you

[@TylerHumphrey05]

So glad you keeping the format! Was rooting for you and Hess. Very entertaining to listen to you two. He really seems to boost your confidence and is a good partner for you. Thanks Danya.

[@michaelf8221]

Glad to hear you're back to 15+10. You really excel at explaining your thoughts at this time control and supplementing the game with useful and relevant master games!

[@dnmclnnn]

Thank you for switching back 😊 I was disappointed when you switched to 5 mins but wasn't going to say anything. Tbh, I will watch you no matter what time control.

[@andress4780]

agree with the general view that 15+10 is better. your explanation during game 2 and the analysis after was fantastic. ty for all you do

[@omarcos3228]

Yes sir. Much more instructive. I cannot say I did not like the 5 min but I agree this is much better if you ask me.

[@ericfrederickson2692]

I think you really made the right decision here Danya. Can't wait for each step in this new odyssey of long games!

[@albertoloaiza860]

I appreciate all the effort you put into your instructional content. No matter what format you decide to do, I always feel I learn a lot from you, and if nothing else it’s entertaining to watch you play.

[@AndMoreGame]

My head was still smoking from thinking hard, but this was much more my speed. Love it!

[@JohnSmith-op4ho]

You’re a treasure Danya. It’s amazing that your expertise and your incredible gift for teaching are available to anyone with an internet connection without charge. Thank you for all of your teaching!

Nice Danya is back wit the origonal formate. Being able to understand the reasoning is a massive plus!

[@julianernstberger9876]

It's funny how Daniel talks about the natural instinct do play Rg1, while Rd2 is trapping the queen in an instant.

[@GooglePlusSurvivor]

thanks again GM Naroditsky for more lessons of legendary value

[@ShanomoBro]

Nf6, c5 has been my response to the London for a long time with solid results, I enjoy creating those dynamic imbalances that lead to tactical opportunities. Great to see you'll be using this variation in the speedrun too so I can improve it further with some GM insights :)

[@barthouweling4787]
