These are historical lessons. Daniel has/is creating a library for chess players of all levels globally. I subscribe to his channel on twitch, eventhough I'm never on it, specifically to support this content.

[@DanielNaroditskyGM]

Thank you so much!

[@theTeflonDon1]

I'm exclusively on KZbin. These could easily be paid lessons.

the caro "kanning" I'll see myself out lol

[@chilliram]

I love the way you cater to players of all levels and not once assuming something is too trivial to be explained. This is like an astro physicist teaching gravity to school kids and doing a great job at that. You are just a brilliant teacher!

[@Jamal-gy5lu]

Loving these Caro Kann videos. made a playlist only for these Caro videos so I can squeeze the most juice out of them. You definitely know how to teach people the best on youtube, and your style makes it very easy to get this stuff in to my head. so far, destroying people that play e4 with the Caro,, Keep at it champ! (Future Tense)

[@hasankalla5373]

Mind sharing the link to the playlist?

[@matheusmartino5738]

I improved so much because of these caro kann of Daniel

[@davide4052]

Could you share

Please stop hogging this playlist and share it

[@shadowflamelightburst4503]

Thank you for these speedrun videos, they have helped me a lot recently

[@invisiblelemur]

That "proper time for creating a pawn hook" explanation was a thing of beauty.

[@Timmyjoc]

How did I just find your channel?? Wow, blown away. This is some real study here, thanks!! Awesome content!

[@shaicontrol]

was watching the stream earlier today, nice to have this to watch after it ended!

[@muntoonxt]

There were so many great positional insights in this lesson. I feel like my mind has been opened. Kudos to everyone for asking good questions, and to Danya for answering them so well.

[@LureThosePixels]

Love your work Danya, and loved your commentary on FIDE!

[@alfiewright1396]

Could tell from the moment he played e5 on move 2 that he was the type of player to take the pawn on b7

[@Tyler-bp4md]

honestly. i wouldnt ever expect a 1600 to play e5 in that position. its not a losing move but man is it ‘creative’

[@brucewayne2184]

Nice video as usual Mr Daniel. Keep up the good work from ur No 1 Supporter.

[@alieser7770]

Incredibly instructive and fun

[@Neilyolol]

Caro kann is my favourite opening against e4 thank you so much I’ve learned a lot from you

[@KironKabir]

Thanks for the upload

[@kayelemenoh]

thank

[@bryander9041]

I really liked how the discussion evolved into kingside pawn pushes to break the pin, even though those moves weren’t played in the game, but chat questions were addressed on the fly

[@yawn8974]

24:13 wow what a nice move... would love to find something like that in one of my games

[@othmanemansouri3631]

Another great video !

[@SEAKPhotog]

Thanks for the amazing content.

[@juanroaguilo]

Love it!!!! As a Caro Kann player I am digginnn ittt

[@Mali8029]

I am now rewatching this speed run since I remember nothing from it and realizing how much I have grown by getting almost all of the moves before Danya even gives his usual hints is the most satisfying thing :D

[@christopherg1288]

These are so instructive

[@JJ-xd9dr]

love your videos! i have a question. do you recommend the bayonet attack for white against the caro kann?

[@Chesshumor]

Very informative even for me

Please please continue the caro Kann,how to beat 1700-1900s with caro kann,what a coincidence.This is exactly what i need rn.Thank u so much

Look, i saw rook a4, i just didnt like it

[@zlatkofelic8820]

Love these. I think I found my favorite opening for black. Can you please do Ruy Lopez as white in depth, next?

[@conradnal8934]

Daniel I would love to see your Alapin videos but it's hard to find them because in the 5 minute speedrun you didn't put the opening in the name of the video

[@xavigarcia6207]

Brilliant

[@nonebelievingbeliever3753]

F5 after that kingside pawn push is going to be my new O.p idea in some positions

you videos are awesome, you are great at explaining, I love watching your games in Liches and now here in youtube, just keep doing this! Are you active on Reddit? leave some comments and post a bit to the community, Im sure they will welcome you if you are not there already.

[@kchiang4]

This is funny, the last game shown, today I played the exact same lines before watching this video and won

[@nathaniel532]

the one dislike is the person who took the "free pawn"

[@HughMorristheJoker]

Can you next do the Shaka Kahn defense?

[@6500s1]

9:50 why not bishop c2 and then queen d3 to unpin and keep defending the knight?

[@xx-cj6ew]

6:30 the prophet guesses wrong

Does anyone who watches Daniel's Twitch streams know if he does more Speedrun games there that he doesn't upload? And are they in specific streams or does he just randomly throw one in amongst his normal streaming?

He uploads all of the speedruns to KZbin. They're just delayed compared to the stream by weeks/months.

[@6500s1]

sPIce spring invitational on the pi day March 14th :DDD

[@AnkhArcRod]

Ì can't believe that this player is a 1600. Moving the queen to c3 in such a position is just unthematic! If not Be2, Nd3 was always an option since the dark square bishop was already out. The damage to king side when f pawns get doubled is really hard to contend with!

[@gardenmenuuu]

xD don't overestimate 1600s they just dont hang their queens or pieces and know basic tactics.That's it

[@michaelfortunato1860]

After ...f5, Qb3 comes with a check.

[@vaibhavarora3389]

These positions also arise in exchange french

[@mangai3599]

At 5:08 opponent losses his patience! He/she should not have done that.

[@Force95042]

That bishop d6 move at the end was awesome, that's a great teaching example problem

[@MediocreApologist]

Nice Colinear move at the end !

[@Nick2014B]

a tutorial by a human chess engine lets go

[@yashgupta8734]

Can anyone help me understand why h5 would not open up at 14:45?

[@xaidenthefrog]

Playing h5 would weaken the g5 square and white would go Bg5 followed by Nh4 and Qf3 when black's kingside would be terribly weak.

[@alexf0101]

"that's not a mistake that people in the 16… O_O" when the prophetic powers fail the prophet showing where g4 after castling is good or bad was priceless, awesome stuff

[@MainUkraine]

Wtf was that 1st game. I'm 1400 in rapid and no one blunders that fast.

[@anstaffer8482]

Sometimes you just have a bad day

[@vjbragae]

Then you are the one who blunder that fast

[@valvequotecultureoyster]

On average, the player who "blundered that fast" is better than you by definition of his elo. Otherwise you'd be better than 1400.

[@hostiletoaster7395]

Bro I'm 1500 and everyone just blunders I think 1300s are better than 1500s

how is that dude in the 1600s

[@brucewayne2184]

Like anyone, they just play thousands of games until their rating goes up high.

[@RaptureReady2025]

I reckon they cheat to build their rating and then ease off cheating. Problem is they got no real development bc they lazy instead of putting in the hard work. Imo. 😀

[@FizzleIsGaming]

@@brucewayne2184 this dude played worse than most 1100s would. its like a 5 year old played on his dads 1600 account.

[@hal0jump3r]

A position being "boring" is often a reflection on your own play. No opening is inherently boring if you don't want it to be.

[@coleschemistrychannel4172]

yes and no. There are different levels of complexity in different positions
