Danya as black: Let's play the Caro-Kann because it's super solid. Danya as white: Here's how to crush the Caro-Kann.

[@ConfidenceGold]

that's funny but his score against Magnus highest among gms. Around 340-640 L-W. He's incredibly good GM

[@ryanboyd4770]

Quality tutorage as per always. Cheers Danya.

[@douggieharrison6913]

Danya has replacedAgad in my daily chess watching. I used to wait for Agad to drop a new video, but watching Daniel play these games and crush literally everyone with no effort is so satisfying. I still love agad, but now I find myself occasionally searching for his videos rather than waiting for them to come as I had before. Agad and danya are the best chess content creators on KZbin. Shoutout to Chess with Suren for the smaller creators that still have great videos.

[@Kijo487]

I really like Gotham Chess recaps and guess the ELO

[@walterjames8230]

agad don't know chess though

[@trequor]

I'm the same. Agad got me back into chess, but Danya is such an effective teacher.

[@trequor]

@@Kijo487 Honestly I can't stand Gotham's voice. And the way he meanders around the point just comes across as disingenuous.

[@user-xb6dk4zl7l]

Would like to see you play the fantasy vs someone who follows theory for a bit longer.

[@seanhunter111]

As a Caro player, it's great to see how you play the fantasy, because this is a line I don't enjoy facing. I'd also like to see you defend against it (and the Panov attack maybe) with the black pieces. I know people in your chat were clamouring for a hilbilly, but really I just don't find the hilbilly attack hard to defend against at all. White ends up wasting a bunch of tempi with their light-square bishop and getting nowhere.

[@trallegas6589]

The hillbilly thing is just a meme since one of the regulars in the twitch chat really likes the opening,i don't actually think they were asking how to defend against it seriously but good luck with learning to deal with the fantasy and the panov

[@jimmyturtwig7519]

Ive found fianchettoeing the bishop on g7 is a pretty good way of defusing the Panov, it just belongs on that diagonal putting pressure on White's inevitable IQP. As for the fantasy what I usually end up playing is Qb6, but it's one of those sharp lines that's too rare to really remember a lot of theory for.

[@Brenbolone]

I played a game very similar to this as black and the lack of development from the fantasy is so crushing. I don’t think I was able to castle and lost. I’m only like 1500 but I feel for black on this one.

[@frankieoliveras1271]

Does Daniel Naroditsky have any chess courses for sale?

[@armandsfreibergs4069]

is there somewhere where I can see Danya play Naro-Kann? where queen goes to f3?

[@shrinivas105]

This is unfair, you can't do that... I have spent lot of time learning your Caro kann defence videos 😭

[@stoutlager6325]

Check out the fantasy line for black's side. It's not too scary if you know how to play it. It's actually become one of my favorite lines in the caro just because it's so different from the others.

[@YegaMeista]

Play the raptor variation

[@zappyFPS]

thank

[@Kajal-gk9bg]

Danya recommends Caro Kann with Black and goes on to crush it when playing with white....Educating exhaustively ❤️

[@crowstar9069]

The Fantasy variation is the only reason I like to play The Caro-Kann as white.

What is the Naro Kann? I've heard him talk about it before, but I've never seen him play it. Can someone link a video, or tell me a more traditional name for the line? Thanks!

[@flavory9891]

I’m not super helpful but I have some vague memory of it being a tricky response to the caro where you move the queen to f3 early. It’s in one of his earlier speed run games (the 5 minute one).

If you play the Caro, you ought to have an answer to the Fantasy. It is tough though, my lifetime score against it isn't great, but I at least have a plan. Anyway, you should thank Danya for making you aware of it!

being a super duper GM must be such a fucking blast. Imagine making a living crushing people 1000-2000 ELO points below you. This man can have 1 minute on the clock vs 1700 with 30 and destroy them no problem. Must be the best living in the world

With streaming yes but before the boom to my knowledge they did not make a good living playing chess.

The fantasy is not really a good variation if black knows what they are doing

[@Kokurorokuko]

Am I the only one who doesn't understand the a3 move when trying to trap the queen?

[@yawn8974]

the point of a3 is to take away the b4 square from the black queen. and ultimately the point of it is to "defend" the d4 pawn with tactics. imagine if black had played Bxf3 Qxf3 Qxd4 Be3 and white hadn't played a3 before this sequence; then black could play Qb4 and they're up a pawn (and a key pawn at that). but the move a3 sets up the trap. check out the position during the game after Be3, and you'll see that the queen has no escape squares (thanks to a3)
