How YOU Can Positionally Outplay The Scotch Game!! | The Sensei Speedrun | GM Naroditsky

This is basically the best chess content on KZbin , so it's basically irrelevant how many times you use the word basically in one stream.

That intro is *basically* a dream come true. More speedrun, more endgames. LET'S GO!

[@HebiSnake]

Exactly, a good balance is what I want. I love all of Danya's content, but it has been so much speedrun and so little other things that I have been missing the other types of videos a lot.

[@PJBoyYT]

7:45 "It can't be that bad; you're just developing your pieces, how bad can that be?" 27:08 "developing the knight in an inexcusable blunder"

[@robertr7923]

Yeah but Bb7 didn't blunder anything obvious. Nc3 literally blunders a pawn on the next move

[@PJBoyYT]

@@robertr7923 I know I know, but it still tickles me :D

[@tannerhyslop7943]

Hey Danya, I played in my 3rd tournament this weekend and won the U1800 section, your videos have helped me tremendously improve my positional understanding and coming up with a plan during the middle & end game, so basically thank you very much for all the content you put out, excited for the future series, you the man

[@drewb6377]

Agree …. Speed runs are the best !!!

[@kaboomkp]

Was so upset the series is ending, really happy to hear there's another speedrun coming soon; by far my favorite chess content in a long time

[@drewb6377]

Me too!!!! Was hoping he’d lose several games to drop his elo and extend the speed run… so happy he’s going to do another

[@Maskuslol]

Why is it that you don't have aleast 1M subscribers? All of your content is great! Very instructional and you speak with perfect pace and clearly too! Thank you, Danya!

I'm super excited for the new content coming after this, it sounds right up my alley!

Really digging the update news Danya! I'm a youtube only viewer and I always love your insights into chess history and its practical application to the game itself

Thx Dan. I'm enjoying these speed run videos very much.

[@rogerwarr4673]

Excited for your future plans for the channel! Thanks

[@adamfirth3082]

Love the plan, one thing that I think would also be really cool would be to see you analyze some computer chess games as its always cool hearing high level players opinions on the moves engines make and attempt to understand them and explain why they are so good

[@willemnieuwenhuizen5837]

Your insane danya, all this free content! Thanks for your hard work

[@brandonbarker7817]

I'm in the 16-1700s and the scotch is very common. I've always played d6 so thanks for the break down on it.

[@worsethanjoerogan8061]

I'm a bit weaker than you at 1500 but the Scotch blows so many people off the board at my level. Almost too strong lol

Pumped to hear that you’re reviving the endgame series. It’s the area of my playing that needs the most improvement.

[@HebiSnake]

This intro idea of where this channel is planned to go seems very good. I do like the idea of a little more varied content because we have been having a large amount of speedrun lately compared to other content. And while I do enjoy the speedrun content, I enjoy the other content even more

[@connermulloy7428]

[@Alex-gu1ry]

You are amazing daniel!

[@caedknight1218]

Daniel you are the man!

[@dendiv.2699]

Hi Danya. One of the most entertaining and digestable chess content. You make it look easy :-) Any chance you could touch on calculation subject in the nearest future? I think vast majority of players struggle with this most important aspect of chess. It doesn't matter what your middlegame or endgame knowledge is if you lose every game by a simple miscalculation. I'm blown away by GMs when they close their eyes, look away and they can keep track of every detail in the position. How do you acquire this skill? Can it even be trained?

[@benhenry6248]

I would love to watch your videos on the lives and games of GMs!!

[@daniel.b6867]

Thank you so much, you are the best

[@evanbelcher]

One thing I would love that I feel like would be similar to what you mentioned about recapping the lives of historical great players: When I watch you commentate games for super GMs I feel like they all get the same kinds of (deserved) praise: "X is so good at these tricky endgames", "X is so resilient", and so on. I would love if you could give like a rundown on the current top 10 or 20 players and what their relative strengths, weaknesses, and specialties are, with a focus on how they differ from one another. How is So's playstile different from Giri's or Naka's or Nepo's? That kind of info would be really interesting to hear from someone with experience against many of them like yourself.

[@Fresh3990]

I’m really looking forward to the player profile videos :)

[@repacharge431]

YES MORE ENDGAME SERIES!!!! I probably shouldn't say this, but I can't wait for the speedrun to end now. Also keep up the great work danya :D

[@Not-You-Tuber]

These speed runs helps me a lot to understand lots of opening.. That significantly improves my overall chess.. One request please make opening lab videos.. Ponziani can be next choice..

[@nickamaya4735]

[@drewmiddleton9715]

[@gastonmarengo6790]

The mouse slip was so funny, the cherry on top

[@Kuribohdudalala]

I’m trying to learn e5 right now an have been struggling a lot against the sidelines like the vienna and the scotch, so this was really cool to see

[@hakon_helgoy]

There are three main lines after e4 e5: The Spanish, The Italian and The Scotch.

[@Kuribohdudalala]

@@hakon_helgoy I wasn’t aware that the scotch was considered a main line opening, news to me!

[@hakon_helgoy]

@@Kuribohdudalala yeah, the scotch is the main reason several people I know stopped playing 1...e5 entirely.

[@Sbigsla]

Basically a really good video, thank you :)

[@amateurschach8744]

@ Daniel Naroditsky. Thank you so much, Speedruns are not your favorit but i love them. Having 2100 real Life Elo i a for sure not the typical viewer but i have to say i can learn so much, you have a real talent as teacher and can even manipulate your playing style for that purpose. There are so much bad "teacher" on youtube, your channel is a rare case i found is ambitious to really help the player and not only generate clicks! All in the chat: leave alike and sup here, you are in the best of hands!

[@ranlit7717]

I really really wish the next speedrun can be mainly based on 1.d4 (Queen’s Gambit, not London lol)!!! I know Danya isn’t the biggest d4 player but tbh us viewers are mostly plebs so I’m pretty sure we don’t care if you don’t know the exact move 15 moves into the opening :)) Just wanna see more 1.d4 content, such as seeing you crush the KID as white, refuting the Englund, etc. Also, maybe could you consider switching away from the Smith-Morra against the Sicilian? Just to change things up, perhaps. I know we don’t wanna suggest too many deep theoretical lines, but the open Sicilian fascinates me, and if we’re going to keep on playing 1.e4, I wish we could do more open Sicilian. There is so little content on the sharp open Sicilian lines on KZbin. Too many content creators are afraid of stepping into them due to the complications, but I feel like that’s shying away from the beauty of chess.

[@jvillzy]

Danya is *basically* the best chess coach/content creator

[@alexz1232]

Your content is basically the best.

[@anthonyragan2696]

Basically, I'm looking forward the next series, especially if you include the now, basically, more obscure great players

[@deanandraschko7128]

Bro the “basically” thing was hilarious

[@soakedbearrd]

Danya is in his element, coaching advanced ideas that are approachable even by lower rated players. This is rare among super gms because they are usually so far away from the average player that many details are often skipped because subconsciously they are assumed to be already known. But in the same breath, he doesn’t dumb information down that it bores the advanced player. That’s a hard balance to keep and danya excels.

[@nutius]

Yes gm games analysis is best

[@brooksrussell5695]

A drinking game where you take a shot everytime Danya says "basically"... im hammered right now.

[@dominikmuller4477]

the basicality of your content never ceases to amaze me

[@danievermaak7]

Danya, you are basically good! Thank you very much for this content. As I live in South Africa, I don't have access to great Chess Masters like you and try to coach my daughter that is playing for our national team. Thank you very much!

[@STREETBEATstation]

i ilke your post-speedrun plan! most gm world champions are already covered - i'd like to study other gm's such as EFIM GELLER

[@Pogonotrophy]

liked for masterful use of the word "basically"

[@ericem7310]

My suggestions for the next speedrun would be, that you also play maybe the Dutch/English defense. It would be nice to see your comments on these openings.

[@J1ngzz]

Basically a great video

[@samuelgee6463]

[@MasterJack2]

I dont mind watching speedrun videos forever

[@usageunit]

I was just thinking how, rather than commentate his own games, it would be interesting to hear his commentary on historic GM games. Still would like to see him do more opening videos too, but endgame videos are also fine.
