Master Class | GM's Blunder Too, Vienna Gambit | Chess Speedrun | Grandmaster Naroditsky

[@michaelsimpson6745]

Opponent: *exists* Danya: And the opponent has already started making very subtle mistakes that create weaknesses

The guy was like: yo this guy really blundered a knight and then started playing like a gm? Wtf? Stockfish.

I was thinking that too, but then they offered a rematch 😂

Right?

[@worsethanjoerogan8061]

He knew he had the forced mate so it didn't really matter :D

[@alexwiththeglasses]

The thing I appreciate most as a beginner trying to understand (instead of just obeying principles that may not apply or memorizing) are the clearly reasoned explanations that GM Danya gives. Even more when talking through his recovery after the mouse slip - a wonderful mistake to learn from!

Well he said the last speedrun he did was his last as well, so here's hoping something similar happens after this one 😂

LOVE the analysis of your games. Even in openings you explain really well and talk about theory as THEORY not just a sequence of moves! Keep the content coming :D

[@richardcuddy6166]

I like how Danya explains things too which is why I subscribed. Something I don't get from other Chess KZbinrs, i.e., the detailed reasons behind the moves! Of course worrying about the bishop after it has taken the rook is wrong. Better is developing the knight to d7 threatening to take the pawn on f6 with the queen (threatening an exchange of queens, gaining a tempo, and allowing queenside castling). Nc6 is the blunder that turned it all around. Great comeback.

[@Toonwoons]

I think this is the best video in the speedrun so far. You're the man Daniel!

[@kevinholditch]

Hey, you forgot to add this video to your speed run playlist! I’m loving the speed run. Such instructive content. Thanks!

[@coltonwalker1377]

anyone ,even 2000 rated players would have a hard time being up a single piece against a GM Most GM's lose to Top rated players like Magnus down a piece when it comes to classical time formats

[@JakeLYT]

Naroditsky can easily win with knight odds against untitled players.

[@thatguy5233]

@@JakeLYT it wasn't just knight odds. check with any engine and you will see that he was losing very hard in the moment where he blundered the knight. it was -7. it was really bad time for knight D4.

[@theTeflonDon1]

Who do you think daniel voted for, he never says anything political

[@christopherg1288]

Yeah this is a pretty good one eh, I remember watching this on twitch. I would have kinda liked to see how he played that position if he played 5. d4 instead of blundering the knight. I liked hearing Daniel’s take on the vienna too in addition to some of what Levy’s shown. Um the tip to go 3. f4 here after Bc5 is pretty interesting and is something I’ve started to do in my own games. Yeah, this felt instructive, funny it was only uploaded 4 hours ago cuz I remember this from so long ago. :) was a good one yeah

[@christopherg1288]

The part where he sac’d the pawn on e5 first instead of playing Re1 was pretty cool too Edit: Re1* not Re8

[@scheimong]

I'm offended by the heart emoji in your comment

[@nickthomson8512]

Thank you, Daniel, after watching a few chess steams I can say yours is the best at providing real edge. The others I would say concentrate on their income from advertising and not care about chess. But you, on the other hand, is the opposite, you concentrate on chess rather than the other stuff, and I love your channel for this, Thank you!!!

[@tonglu3699]

It’s like he’s been fighting with one hand this whole time and yet nobody can hit him. The second they finally hit him due to his own mistake, he knocks them out with the other hand.

[@mikeperkins6991]

The positional reasoning was great and very instructive. I don't want to suggest purposeful blunders, but I would love to have Daniel show odds games and how he turns the tables. BTW, I just subscribed on strength of Daniel's exposition in this video!

[@cspell]

I agree even though that was 2 years ago

Idk if u still playing chess or not but i have question what if he sacrifice his rook on f 7 rather than queen h5 is it a forced mate

Man I really wanted to see a Vienna gambit line

[@Tinyplanetco]

Me too! Dieing to see Danya playing more Vienna

[@SylvainRavot]

15:10 Instead of Qh5 the brutal Rxf7+ was another way to show the strenght of the 7th. I like Bg4#. Both are very nice of course. Instructive game thanks.

[@Edamori]

So, minor nitpick - Bc5 by Black is the third top engine move against the Vienna setup, is recommended by both Levy and Jonathan Schrantz, and it often transposes into the Classical variation of the King's Gambit, which is a very respectable way to meet the King's Gambit. Saying that Bc5 is inaccurate is simply incorrect. White's first mistake in the Vienna game is actually playing exf4. The whole point of developing the bishop immediately is to allow d6 to be played without locking it behind the pawns, so taking on f4 shows a fundamental misunderstanding of the point of Bc5 against the Vienna.

[@chrysnp1523]

I just hit 1300 in blitz from 800 in 10 months just by watching your vids. Great works man

[@magnesiummike]

Was about the have a heart attack while he was talking at 15:00

[@TheRovardotter]

Must be convenient to be able to access an engine by putting your hand on your eyes

[@jamesp6376]

Love you Danya. Please play a black knights tango for one of these videos, it’s so underrated!

[@hyura_png]

Not to be political but I would LOVE to someday see a speedrun where you intentionally blunder a piece in the opening every game. It happens all the time to us non-GMs and this game was *super* instructive in showing how to play from behind. This is already the best speedrun series, but like most other speedruns you're basically never at a disadvantage because you're too good! A "playing from behind" series would help teach a very useful skill for us commoners!

[@flavory9891]

Saw that you mentioned at the end you might do lectures for KZbin… putting a request in for main najdorf ideas. Traps they can fall into and how exactly to use the b file for attack and what to do if your opponent f’s around. Thank you!!

[@Sevenes7-S]

Oh, the legendary Knight gambit, I see.

[@seanmcdonough8815]

One of my favorite chess streamers, but (purely constructive critique) please acousticly treat your room behind camera or get a large condenser mic 8" away from your mouth. The voice reflections in the room "honk" we've all gotten use to via zoom/pandemic is ok for a biz meeting or a minor guest on msnbc, But your such a master (with the coolest intro!) That that small change will make a world or professional difference. Daniel=2630 Intro graphics =3100 Sound=1167

[@seanmcdonough8815]

I'd be happy to assist with consulting (it's really easy to set up good sound)

[@Mr12345bleepbloop]

I want a whole odds speedrun! Maybe down a knight at the lower levels and a pawn at the higher ones?

[@matthewrigby6089]

Agreed! Though he discussed this in another video and it doesn't seem like it'll happen. I guess we have to just hope for mouse slips.

[@ReflectionOcean]

1. Move the same moves when you are up a piece as you will do when you are not 2. Think about what your opponent would do and prepare for it 3. Make moves with multiple threats and follow up options

[@aussj4link]

You should do intentional blunders to teach more damage control, I feel like I learned a lot from this one.

[@danwilkins7738]

Also I just want to say ty to Danya I just hit 1700 after 7 months of playing and it’s mostly due to the speed run :)

[@juanibiapina]

This is the best Speedrun game in a long time!!

[@rafachmura6800]

11:33 Qd7 is not a checkmate, even if his opponent does move a queen to B8 or am I missing something?

[@pabloisaev514]

Isn't mate but you enter in black's position. Qd7-Qd7+, Kf8- bh6+, Kg8-Bg7. And you win the echange.

[@pabloisaev514]

The first Qd7 was Qb8 sorry😃

[@ethan073]

This series has turned me into a Danya fan 😎 can’t wait to see more 🙂

[@TheBuddhaBilly]

I followed every speedrun of you, amazing instructional content. I have a question: can you show how you work with Chessbase software? I'm always amazed how quickly you come up with a certain position, and analyse it further from there (not to mention what an amazing memory you have of played games). That would be very helpful. Thanks again.

[@mikecantreed]

Damn that was a nice positional game. Danya you should consider writing a book about mastering that topic.

[@Heathersworld4]

[@perfectiondreamusa]

17:29 can anyone explain why the queen is stuck in the position? why can’t it go to h3 or something to evacuate and then continue normal development

[@aoe2sfgt184]

It CAN evacuate, but that involves 2 more queen moves while you're still developing your pieces as planned. That leaves the opponent with a completely undeveloped position while you're attacking

[@psychwolf7590]

Lmao I love how you stress everyone out with the time 😂😂😂😂

[@andrew6069]

I really like 4.d4 allowing Qh4+ 5. Ke2 for white, the position is objectively fine for white and practically dangerous for black. Plus it's a way of making a kind of bongcloud a part of my tournament repertoire.
