Naroditsky when he hasn't talked about how the hypermodernists were getting laughed at in the 1920's for not occupying the center but attacking it from a distance in 5 minutes

Opponent: “Man, this guy is good. He’s shutting down every plan I can come up with. Might as well make some random moves to throw him off a bit” Daniel: “He thinks he’s intimidating us, but this move is a horrendous blunder. His pieces are so passive that we have forced mate in 28. I will not make a move until I see someone in chat find the line”

As a Russian, i really like the fact, that Danya gives so much attention to soviet chess school, USSR really improved this game soooo much 👍

[@trikmandularlgaming2026]

wait, what is the story about how kings indian started? i think danya should talk about it in the next speedrun

[@sleepingdog12]

A group of people came together, they said why not let the opponent take the center and then snipe it from a distance.. lol

[@BackOfFace]

As fun as it is to watch hikaru, I learn way more watching danya.

[@dunkilationzzz]

Facts

[@twosnakse]

Hikaru is incredible to watch of course, but I find some of his eccentricities distracting and off putting to watch for extended periods (for me, I’m referring to repeating sentences constantly and his very ‘thick’ accent - I’m not from the US so maybe it stands out more). Danya clearly enjoys teaching and understands principles of teaching in his speech and methods. All love and its amazing that we live in a time to get free lessons and insight from some of the best players ever for free and daily.

[@tayk-47usa41]

[@bhaskarpandey8586]

[@largenaq2935]

@@tayk-47usa41 I’m from outside of the US and I notice the slightly thicker accent too. It’s nothing much though

Nah, it's good that the thumbnail theme stays for the whole series.

[@brooo4219]

[@ft7376]

Hey Danya, love the speedrun. is there a way that you could put the episode number in the title of the video alongside the rating number? i.e. Episode 43 - 2100. Would make it easier for KZbin to understand the ordering. Right now unless I watch them as a "Playlist," I just get the speedrun videos recommended to me in almost random order, which is pretty frustrating.

[@Kajal-gk9bg]

Hey Danya, can you pls play Catalan in one of these games, want to see your perspective and also bcos find ur explanations easy to grasp

[@jonathanlovelace521]

I don't understand the pawn sacrifice on hf to the knight. Is it really just to open the file for the rook?

[@midorimashintaro2613]

Yeah. Just like fisher said dont underestimate an open h file a sacrifice a lot to open the h file and usually turns into a great attacking tactic

[@kmktruthserum9328]

and its only a pawn. 1 point isnt enough to lose a game

[@jonathanlovelace521]

@@midorimashintaro2613 Thanks. This is definitely an area where I need to improve my chess. I would've seen the open h-file was valuable, but instead of just tossing away the pawn, I would've been looking for a way to trade a bishop for the knight so I could get my pawn back after he took bishop, maintaining material balance. I'm sure it would've been too slow.

[@kesslerj07]

Did Daniel blunder his pawn on H5? It seems like he didn’t even think about the knight on F6.

[@morckthedooorknob4991]

In the first game couldnt you also just take the bishop with the rook for mate instead of pinning?

[@miker573573]

Dan👍

[@MrBurnlan]

lmao the french player's name translates to "fat hairy tummy"

[@ApexTrading]

I don’t get on first game why he pushed the H file with the pawn sacrifice. I was thinking oh to force the pawn to take back and open it up but then i remembered his knight was there. What was point of just sacing the pawn? cant he just move the knight right back. Feels pointless to me. Anyone to explain?

[@winterwolf3435]

Pushing the h pawn is a sacrifice made to open up the h file, freeing the rook. It's used for an attack later.

[@ApexTrading]

@@winterwolf3435 Thanks for the reply! Makes sense now

[@moses4203]

REEEEEE

[@Blunted50]

bang boom

[@MarcelArtsCW]

You said, that the rook move was 'empty'. Levy recommended that move to prevent your good bishop from being traded. So I put that move in my mental arsenal. Do you disagree?

[@winterwolf3435]

Different people have different ways of playing, I guess it depends on your playing style, not that it's not good, but some people may be willing to trade their bishop and some may not, not all situations are the same
