Bro Naroditsky's control over the clock is the most fun part about this speed run. It's like driving around a racetrack in the passenger seat with a NASCAR driver.

I just went and looked back at the first episode of this series, daniels went from 1600 ish subs to over 5000, great to see him blow up

[@jacobshirley3457]

Same, but with my chess rating.

[@fujiapple9675]

Danya, don't feel the need to apologize at 11:00. The audience doesn't want to deprive the prophet of chocolate. It is well deserved with this amazing speed run!

[@bjmurphy34]

I never get tired of hearing a grandmaster's thought process (especially if it's Daniel).

Hey Danya are you single? My girlfriend wants to know.

my girlfriend: leaves me for Naroditsky me: understandable have a great day

[@raianbinmustack5180]

You know you're early when the guy with the hypermodernists not occupying the center joke hasn't arrived yet.😂😂😂

[@EpicDoughnut]

That's because the Hypermodernists let their opponents occupy the comment sections with bad jokes, then attack them from afar with their pieces.

YESSS another video, but also I'm getting nervous that this speed run will end. I'm already watching reruns on days that he doesn't release a new video.

[@ianerickson2210]

Ooo I should so that, the bullet videos arnt for me, I feel his analysis helps me recognize patters on the board and bullet lacks majority of that

[@matthewrigby6089]

@@ianerickson2210 Yeah for sure, the bullet can be exciting and impressive, but I need 30 seconds per move, not 30 seconds per game.

[@fujiapple9675]

If I had blundered my knight at 5:37, against the french, then someone would have had to pardon my french, because I would not have been happy.

[@swolejszo]

Playing against the London is always a grind, I felt the second opponent's pain.

[@midorimashintaro2613]

I love to crush london everytime a very boring opening but flexible

[@jonathanepstein5556]

Video on the Jobava London System would be amazing. I'm convinced and interested.

[@pm2342]

I have watched a lot of your videos and you made so many unconventional moves in your first game opening that strengthened your position for later. Amazing!

[@simonmurray3884]

Last time I was this early Danya was playing 1. e4 against 700s

[@jamesmonge7582]

I was waiting for this one since the other one got out!

[@Koliflower]

Hey Daniel, I've been loving the speedrun, although sadly I haven't watched all of it yet. many of the openings you have played have focused on maintaining your Bishops, which, of course, is an obviously smart way to play. However, I'm wondering if there are any interesting openings and gameplans that revolve around the Knight becoming the focus of attack and strategy? If so, would you be willing to demonstrate one in the speedrun?

[@traerooks4543]

The Vienna gambit is the first one I can think of. And the halloween gambit to an extent

[@samharman7732]

Daniel's done a few games in the London System for this speed run, which is known for leading to closed positions where one of the main ideas is getting a knight to e5

[@peterk5870]

He has mentioned that closed in openings knights are stronger than bishops.

[@jiggly229]

danya's played a few king's indian defences around 1600 i think, you could start looking there :) i remember this these two games where he played a petrosian variation, and then a samisch variation later on.

[@fujiapple9675]

The positional idea at 31:23 reminds me of Hikaru placing his king on f2 in the bongcloud. Granted, here white has a superior structure.

[@trent797]

Hey Daniel, FYI David Pakman said on his stream he'd love to do some coaching with you.

[@zacdubois8282]

Love your constant Danya!!

Daniel could you please make a video on chess books to learn the openings, midgame themes and engames??

[@kratos6412]

i think he sees those sort of questions more on stream

I have asked this same question and got no response. I hope he responds to you!

[@michaelwhinnery164]

Thank you, Sensei

[@rcsinzx]

thanks for this speedrun Danya! would be great if you can play more games with the Jobava opening :)

[@bkb04g]

Another super high quality video, bucko. This series has increased my rating 500+ points. Just curious, what is keeping Danya from being in the current chess tournaments? He seems to have a complete grasp of all aspects to chess, so i wonder what is his restricting factor?

[@winterwolf3435]

I believe it is due to his FIDE rating not being a super GM (2700+), and most tournaments these days only feature super GMs, at least the most popular ones anyway

[@SerLaama]

All GMs have an extremely strong grasp of practically everything chess-related. Doesn't mean some of them still don't play better than others.

[@bkb04g]

@@winterwolf3435 but he damn near adopted firuzja the other day and he is a super gm...?

[@winterwolf3435]

@@bkb04g Depends on what variation, because when Danya played Firouzja, I think it was in 30 second hyper bullet, which Danya is better at, he's not as high rated in longer games (Classical or Rapid)

[@landi2244]

Knowing all these things about Chess, I wonder how Daniel ever loses a game.

[@KF1]

There's a cool channel called Just Have a Think, and every vid he says "Thank you to my Patreon supporters for allowing me to keep this channel independent and ad-free" Could you, like, adopt that line?

[@isaacmammel9186]

Has Danya lost/drawn any non-cheater games yet?

[@satiricalaxolotl7923]

Nay

[@fujiapple9675]

Granted, those losses to cheaters, while unfortunate and unethical, are highly entertaining given Danya's comedic responses. "Pretty strong 1300 ladies and gentleman." "And he thinks in this position." (Referring to a checkmate in one the computer cheater was spending time on).

[@traerooks4543]

Hey Danya i have a quick question. I’m a decent intermediate player (2000 on lichess) and I don’t really have a style of play. Is this an issue and should I find one? If you or anyone else could answer I would appreciate it a lot

[@Cholo8943]

I am lower rated than you (1900 on chess.com), but I think the style is developed after you become good enough, let's say a master. We are only fighting against blunders

[@adamsonntag5686]

At 7:26 could he not have played knight to d4? That would’ve protected his queen and intercepted yours, or is there something I’m missing?

[@winterwolf3435]

Knight on D4 is protected once, by Rook on D1, and attacked twice by Rook on D8 and Queen on E5, that would've just been a free piece

[@adamsonntag5686]

@@winterwolf3435 ahh I see, thank you! I appreciate it

[@redsector1608]

Hey daniel please could you play the veinna, its my favourite opening by far, especially when you play the gambit

[@googleuser7823]

So what was the first game that been on a screen? Did he lost?

[@oxagonal]

He was looking at a line from the previous game where he showed how easily white can mess up. He did win that game; I don’t think Danya’s lost a game other than against a cheater yet. You can see the game in the last video.
