You are genuinely deserving.

Best chess teacher on youtube by far

[@noone-ld7pt]

No need to apologize for taking your time, the KID deepdives are my favourites. It never seizes to baffle me how you can go into such depths about a seemingly very suboptimal line. I've probably played a few thousand games online in the KID myself and never seen this, so the fact that you know this much about it truly shows your encyclopedic knowledge of it! Very excited for the chessable course!

[@noone-ld7pt]

@@user-fw9go8wh8x ahh thanks! that makes more sense, english is obviously not my first language :)

[@blueberryoatmeal4009]

​​@@noone-ld7pt"Seizes" is also a word, but it means to grab/take hold: eg "he seized my hand" = "he took hold of my hand". It can also be used figuratively: "I seized the opportunity" = "I grabbed the opportunity". "Cease" means to stop, which is what fits in your sentence: "it never stops to amaze me". (I like your attitude! It would be easy to get defensive in response to a one-word comment that corrects you. I also know plenty of native English speakers who don't write as well as you do.)

[@CGoody564]

Suboptimal my ass. It is what you make of it

[@Fajowski50]

“Take the bishop, take the rook, you’re at Golden Corral” 😅 I love that line

[@depan55]

Line was funny enough on its own but had me cracking up when he followed up with "I've never been to Golden Corral, idk why I said that."

[@christor2907]

It's funny how Danya sees straight forward, early opponent mistake into straight forward (for him) conversion games as a boring "meat and potato" thing. For me, as a 1300-1500 ish player, I find them to be by far the most instructive and easiest to follow. 2-3 move tactics are my current max comfort zone so it feels a possibility to emulate this type of conversion with more classy moves like unaligned the bishop and pawn...and seeing how to best punish these opening errors is going to live with me and improve my game! Love it thanks Danya, please more kings Indian!

[@JKKTaker-tg2lm]

[@ClassicMist360]

As a 13-1500 player you should easily be able to calculate 5 moves ahead, or even more depending on how forced the moves are

[@dont_deletethat4595]

One thing that really can't be overstated about your videos is how much they benefit from your consideration of your viewers. Most people making content *in general* don't really think about this, much less people making educational content, where it is essential. Meanwhile, you actively think about your pedagogical style and iterate upon it in a way that I haven't seen many other people do, including *actual professors* that I've had. The fact that you are this thoughtful about the needs and preferences of your viewership on KZbin/Twitch of all places while also being one of the best chess players in the world is kind of insane, your viewers truly appreciate it and we don't take it for granted

[@logicallylazy]

So true. Although, I had to google pedagogical, that’s one I haven’t heard before. Very enjoyable to say, 10/10 👌

[@mercilpb]

I love how enthusiastic Danya always gets when he talks about the Kings Indian. Shows a true love of the opening and the game

[@mannylokzzz]

Dune 2 was the peak of excitement and anticipation for me until I learned Daniel is cooking up a KID Chessable course

[@BeautifulChess1]

Wow, another insightful breakdown from Naroditsky! The way he explains complex concepts makes learning chess so much fun.

[@Lieutenant99]

Absolutely correct 👍

[@ryanboyd4770]

Hi Danya, I'm really enjoying this - thank you as always and good luck with the new course.

[@ravenbender6841]

It's nice to hear simple explanations behind moves. Realizing memorization is the main part of chess I get tired of hearing main lines, side lines I've learned to appreciate just the basic essence of the game thanks to Daniel.

[@dritslem4711]

Jobava London and Daniel just pushed me past 1400 today. Really happy with this! Summer goal of 1600 is one step closer!

[@Apollo-oq3kv]

Really enjoy the depth you go into with the Kings Indian lines. I've been flirting with playing the Kings Indian against 1.D4 and your videos and explanations are incredibly helpful

[@montagdp]

This is very helpful as someone about 1000 rated working on learning the KID to play against d4.

[@thecritic3443]

[@malstainkey]

Yes !! And more Kings Indian please.

[@tonyaglioti555]

Perfect video!

[@dars861]

The puzzle you showed at 40:30 was awesome! It took me a minute of feeling stupid as I had no idea where to start (the Qc4 idea fizzled out quickly). I then realised I had to find a check (as otherwise I would give up the b2 pawn and force a queen trade, or move my queen away and suffer an attack down 2 rooks), and honestly the moves came quite nicely!

[@Steve-xo4nb]

Thank you Danya for releasing some more Kings Indian content.. I tend to trick people into playing the Weiss Variation Austrian Attack in the Pirc when they think they're about to play the Kings Indian, but recently it seems everyone stopped playing the Kings Indian. Like it went out of style, and I wana keep my Austrian Attack sharp!

Your explanations are so great that I saw Bd4 just before you played it.

[@rahulvignesh2775]

Hey Danya, glad to hear that you are doing a chessable course. I'm not a Kings Indian player. But, will definitely consider buying the course this year to show support :)

Hey Daniel, how did you manage to study at a university and simultaneously study chess? How did you keep up the level of your game? How did you find time for all of it? How DID you study?

[@whatsup_3554]

I love the KID explanations! You mention all of these different systems that white can adopt and I was wondering if you plan to cover all of them in your chessable course. If so, I would definitely purchase it

[@whatsup_3554]

Btw, not me thinking Bc6+ was checkmate at 40:30😅

[@caienmusharraf7222]

Notes for revisit; 6:12 Imp concept; 9:23 Art of self-pin; 13:51 look for better; 52:24 , 4:03 history repeats itself; 53:21 bishop pair or the permanent weakness?

[@vimalrajan5710]

Hello Danya! Great video as always. The KID is my strongest opening and I want to get even better - do you know when the Chessable course will drop?

[@AndMoreGame]

At 23:25 you kinda dismissed the line with Nh5, Qxh5. But after that, the white queen takes the knight on d6 that's now hanging. I was puzzled by this. Turns out, you have to notice that after Bg4, the white king struggles to get out of the center because the bishop is hemmed in. You do eventually regain the material, but for a while, white goes up a full knight. Anyway, I just thought it was worth noting how complicated that line gets.

[@elilipsman5643]

Hey Danya, any idea of when the KID course will come out? I've been perusing chessable courses but would love to buy yours!

[@michigan53105]

[@user-xr4bq3eo7s]

Hey Danya, I appreciate these so much. Could you please play the Scheveningen? Thanks

Danya, when you flashback to a previous game you had a similar position from as a kid, can you have your editor use the sound effect from Kung Fu: The Legend Continues when Peter has flashbacks to his time at the Shaolin Temple? That would be cool. Good vid as always.

[@mikeempey2483]

Big D Naroditsky

[@cringenickname0304]

23:25 I think the expectation after Qxg5 is Qxd6. The black queen is tied down to protecting the d6 knight.

[@joesu4777]

I agree, I'm not sure what the exact follow-up would be, but my intuition says that Black would have compensation for the exchange. Either Qe7+ or taking immediately would be my guess

[@andrewuhlian7930]

[@frankjohnson123]

I can't wait for the KID course (if reasonably priced)

[@zoklev]

KID chessable course by danya :pog: I want to start playing the King's Indian setup against anything white plays, so should I just buy your course to learn the lines and hope other openings like the pirc & modern transpose into the KID lines I learn? to be honest I'm kinda confused on move orders and transpositions

[@129felixhsiao3]

Pirc is very different I recommend learning another opening for 1e4 as black

[@129felixhsiao3]

If you really want to do it there’s a free pirc course on Chessable but it’s very theory heavy like KID so I recommend learning an easier one

[@zoklev]

@@129felixhsiao3 I see, Pirc has different lines bc white doesn't play c4. but if I insist on playing King's Indian by delaying ...Nf6, will they play c4 transposing into King's Indian?

[@spodule6000]

What was that noise at 49:23 lol ?

[@tfewald01]

2 questions: (1) What's the target range for your upcoming Chessable course, and (2) What is the target date for its release? Thanks. I thoroughly enjoy your explanations.

[@pranaytopgun047]

I bought a Dutch defence course but kid seems more my style.

[@-AxisA-]

I'm around 900-1000 rated myself in different modes and at 10:10 I woul've pretty instinctually traded the light square bishop for the knight. I'll explain myself, but could someone more advanced explain to me why the light square bishop is better placed at e6? I think I would start just simplifying the position if I'm 2 pawns up already. I know I'm giving up the bishop pair, but black has 3 connected pawns and one of them is passed against 2 isolated pawns on the queen's side, an extra center pawn and opposite coloured bishops, so would trading still be a solid move in this position at this elo level?

[@alexrooke9757]

I think naroditsky recommends you be 3 points of material up before you can start trading down without taking into account positional factors

[@edwinma8085]

Trading the light squared bishop for the knight would result in an opposite coloured bishop game. If your opponent manages to get the rooks off the board then it’s an opposite coloured bishop endgame which are very drawish. Besides your light squared bishop is pretty good on e6 bc it exerts pressure on the pawn on c4

[@setex5469]

can someone compile a list of fancy words danya uses that they know? would love to widen my vocabulary while learning chess

[@bughunter1766]

If I may suggest, often in your videos you do analysis in Chessbase, which has virtually no documentation whatsoever. It would be nice if you would do some basic instruction on how you perform many of the searches and analysis you do with it. Also, I'm betting you know a zillion lesser known tricks with it and it would be highly instructive if you'd throw those ideas in a video or two. Thanks for all you do!

[@joefawcett2191]

I like to play a3 44:31 they often take the pawn on b2 and you play knight a4 after trapping the queen, a common trap in the jobava london

[@antimatter2417]

Comments are weird today. Anyway, good video Danya !

[@eslamhamada5157]

Thank you sm Danya for these informative videos but I have a little recommendation if you would like to accept it ! Why you not introducing us to new lines like 99% of the videos you play e4 and e5 of c5 as black like it's okay but we need to more videos about jobava london for example more videos about new responses for e4 rather e5 and c5 like Alekhine defense for example you get my point ? I hope I see more videos about new untraditional responses to popular opening in the future videos

[@nothingnothingnkthing]

at 32.20 how about black f5?

[@sqttttt]

I took an early screenshot of the double rook sac position to show to my friend… and forgot to tell him there was a black knight on e7 💀

[@awesomacher7312]

I just stalemated my opponent after being up 9 points of material, 1 square away from promotion, and 37 seconds on my clock... pain... I played a very accurate game too.
