Forks & Board Awareness!! | Glek + Scandi | Develop Your Instincts | GM Naroditsky's DYI Speedrun

[@Johnhoward4794]

Many people don’t realize that Danya is basically giving us top tier free instructive videos that many grandmaster coaches charge hundreds of dollars an hour for. God bless you Danya!

[@Lightspark]

Even at lower levels, this speedrun never fails to be instructive. Keep doing what you are doing Danya!

[@gloppengloop]

Danya never fails to never fail

[@cosasverdes]

even at lower levels = where a large majority of his viewers are.

@@cosasverdesso what? Thanks wise guy

[@GrainSummoner]

Danya, by simply just talking out loud and trying to rationalise my thoughts I skyrocketed from 1500 to early 1800s in around 4 months. My chess has been completely revolutionised and it's just thanks to your incredible teaching and methodical mindset. You're the GOAT

[@cosasverdes]

we believe you.

[@robdubent]

@@cosasverdes I’ve done the same this. Went from 1500- almost 1900 over the board USCF. I’m 40 years old. It’s doable.

Danya's speedruns are always so instructive. Thank you for not stopping after the first one!

[@3Max]

Also thanks for not stopping after like the 10th one (seriously though, how many is this now? it feels like maybe the 5th speedrun?)

[@haruka.h560]

I was watching old videos and wondering when you will post next.. I'm also again fascinated with how sincere your teaching is. I hope you know that having you in the same era is a privilege. Thank you today as well.

[@ALeNguyenThaiAnh]

Thank you for the speedrun, Mr. Naroditsky. Hope you enjoy making these speedrun as well.

[@Unknown1Percent]

You use a useless currency to flex as if you paid a lot

[@Ace-o3w]

The 4knights scotch speedrun was so instructive and enjoyable, so im really excited for this one .. thanks for reverting back to the longer time.

[@blakeleonard3990]

Daniel you’re killing this shit right now keep up the content grind, keep up the competition grind as well you’re one of the best players I’ve ever seen

[@nocurve2329]

Love these. Even at the lowest levels he shows the importance of getting the most out of every single move.

[@AwebGameDev]

This is the only channel i premove the like button on💯💯

[@KF1]

Danya is teaching us to track backwards once spotting the win. First what, then how? Instead of calculating forwards, rather thinking of how the position could be winning, and working it back to the current position from there. That's what I've learned from watching these.

[@pyaephyohan5457]

I am so fascinated with the glek system and hoping to see more in the speedrun. I myself would love to see Danya explaining more about it.

[@odietejoseph4603]

Having to learn directly from an elite player such as danya has been more than revolutionary to my improvement in chess. Thank you for being so sincere with ur teachings

[@jodeyrust8546]

I fell in love with the Glek system and play it anytime possible. Thanks for all the hard work that you put into all your videos.

[@priekamaaja]

You're a great teacher, Daniel

[@kimcostantino1051]

Daniel it’s a pleasure to “spend time with you” :)

That checkmate on the second game was disgusting. Thank you Sensei!

[@thatboyany3512]

Hi Daniel came here to say that your videos helped me alot and now for the first time i crossed eleven hundred elo. So thanks a lot keep bringing some more content and then I'll play games and cross 12,13,14 hundred

[@simdriver01]

Thank You Danya, you're inspiring me to get good by learning openings. Also I had a weird thought earlier today that you was gonna make glek vid

[@jamesduggan7200]

A very nice presentation: Many players stumble across the main ideas in the attack against the Scandi but end up just missing. In my case, often it was years before I learned where I missed the win, if at all, so thx.

[@MwanikiKelly]

Thanks very much ❤I really loved the speedrun

[@Flying_Chess]

Loving the Do It Yourself Speedrun!!

[@Mbear10]

[@OmGupta]

danya is GOAT of teaching

[@dromadrosis]

Daniel, I would like to ask you: why do you need sometimes to close your eyes to concentrate? What is on the board that can distract you? What do you see...when you close your eyes? Thank you!

[@robdubent]

I’m thinking it’s probably the same way I do it. Any movement or simply chess pieces on the board can distract from the changing tactical positions I’m playing through in my head. If I continue to stare at the board the ‘pieces get in the way’ so to speak. It just helps focus on my calculations

[@cyin974]

It's the same concept as doing math in your mind, you already get all the numbers you know from paper, so you don't need to stare at it while calculating in your head.

[@Yayaisbadatchess]

Those lower level speedruns are extremely effective Feels like I get 101 lesson with Danya

[@anthonygusman3439]

Yes! A Danya video

[@thetransferaccount4586]

speedruns galore

[@codegeass7162]

The B4 pawn push and specially thr game you show cased after were eye opening. I would have seen fork but dismissed it cause of the knight protecting the square in most games. In the game you showcased, i saw that queen d4 was strong and that the knight wanted to be dislodged but I missed the similarly strong idea of rook to a2 cause I got hung up on trying to make queen to d4 work. Good lesson to keep looking for strong ideas.

[@PerezParkes]

Please teach us against 2000 rated players, so much useful information even for us lower rated players

[@Zyrexia]

It's been a long time since i was able to come online, and I'm happy to catch your videos back. I wonder, what does DYI mean in this case?

[@sorryforbatenglish]

"Develop Your Instincts", the speedrun's focus was originally on decision-making in Blitz games

[@yusufyusuf1998]

this guy forks

[@shuvro40]

B4. Agadmator would be proud of the first game.

[@Speedster___]

I suck with the Ruy. Would love some Ruy games

[@sorryforbatenglish]

Relatable. The Ruy Lopez is tricky, there's so many lines

[@KingoftheJuice18]

To Daniel's moderators or editors: To make a noun possessive, you need an apostrophe before the s (unless the word is plural and ends in s, in which case it comes after the s).

[@ss-kg6yr]

Hi danya, could you highlight the difference between the Glek and the g3 Vienna (where you can play Nge2) in a future video? Thanx a lot for your work, always appreciate it!

[@misterroboto1]

The position also resembles a "King's Indian attack" setup with Nc3 instead of Nd2. The h3-Kh2 manœuvre is also common in that kind of KIA

[@AndyKotz]

The blitz speed runs are so much better

Another great lesson! I play the KIA and notice similarities between that and the Glek system, except the queen knight is on c3 instead of d2. Could you talk about the move order differences between KIA/Glek, and the differences between them?

[@pranaytopgun047]

Please do your next speedrun with my openings - Vienna ,caro kann and Dutch.Thanks for the videos.

[@anaddictwithapen8537]

Are you gonna include some d4 jobava games in this speedrun? it would be nice to get a mix e4 and d4 at all levels. Good games!

[@michaelvanharten9833]

Question for the community (and Danya, please help me!), one been studying Glek and KIA. I'm wondering if you have any suggestions when facing a Sicilian if you can play a glek, or transpose over to KIA? I also struggle with the important Nc3 because i often use c3 b4 to promote queen-side attack, and diagonal support of e4

[@belendrina]

I love thee

buffalo chicken, pepper jack, and sriracha aioli on sourdough on the panini press 👌some banana peppers and other veg on there. guess im getting lit up in more ways than one 🤣🔥 nothing gets me HOT like the Glek system

[@xDemoFMJ]

ima try out the glek system danya

[@biankaj.v.2218]

07:46 I never like those positions with the king on the g file and the rook still on the h file with either color. In this specific example it is easy to see that white is much better bc black will have a weak king, bad structure and weird pieces (i might be wrong tho. Will analyze). Ill try to find a similar position i often find myself avoiding online where black is in a similar position and comment it below. With low time i find it quite hard. I should be around 1500 real elo (peaked at 1950 in blitz on lichess).

[@LelaAndersson]

Hi Danya you missed a forced mate at 23:08

[@Noko099]

I could watch sensei Danya's super instructive videos all day long. Thankkkk uuuuu

[@bong8654]

Isn't there Be8+, Kxe8, Nc7X after black plays Qf5 in the end?

[@XVRMEDIA]

🎉🎉🎉

[@nimabehnam]

nice🥰

[@neilvita3230]

Would be cool if you played the ponziani

[@analogical4090]

It looks to me like there's a refinement to the a6 defensive resource that Danya points out at 26:00. If instead of the immediate a6 Black plays Bxc2+, then the bishop takes the a4 square away from White's bishop and Black seems to win back his piece: ... Bxc2+, Kd2 a6, Ba4 Bxa4, Nxa4 Nxc6, recovering the piece. What am I missing? Oops, I miscounted the material and Black would actually win a piece it seems.

[@constantijndekker8343]

After … Bxc2+ Kd2… a6, white can play Nxb4+ and after Black’s response …axb5 white can then also go Nxc2, winning a piece

[@analogical4090]

@@constantijndekker8343 Ah, I see. Thank you. I suspected I'd missed something, and it's an instructive error: subconsciously I'd written off the discovery because the checking piece was under attack. Thanks again.

[@oraz.]

Glek seems a lot like Vienna

[@WhizzerdSupreme]

I was thinking the same thing!! I think the key difference is Nf3, because it makes it harder to play f4!! later

[@oraz.]

@@WhizzerdSupreme yeah. Maybe if you play g3 before committing the knight it's more predictable or something but it seems similar.
