Impressive. Danya Is not only the best chess coach on KZbin, a great commentatore and One of the top blitz/bullet players on earth, he's also one of the only people on earth Who can ride a hippopotamus

[@mr.scream2934]

Cmon we get this on every video i mean we all love our sensei but dont need to overmention i dont want him to turn into hikaru or magnus type arrogance

[@MeritedMasterOfTheUSSR]

@@mr.scream2934i mean yeah but its true

[@fsher2955]

​@mr.scream2934 he's not the type of person that gets arrogant don't worry. And Secondly if magnus gets arrogant, he has the right to. He's the best player of all time.

[@kotbegemot-sp]

I actually found that the various series of Aman from chessbrah are better to build systematic positional thinking. Danya is great no doubt, but better for higher level chess. Better for players above 2000 imho

[@jordanmcmorris5248]

He's rivaling the greatness of Jesus Christ at this point

I hope you read the comments sometimes. Thanks Danya for all you do and all you’ve done.

[@DanielNaroditskyGM]

I read them whenever I can and have no words to describe how grateful I am at the overwhelming amount of love and support. It's a great privilege to be able to do what I do! Much love, Danya

Poor guy was insisting on a rematch not knowing he would get adopted a hundred times over

[@joonatanlampenius5154]

I thought I was going crazy when I kept hearing the sound

[@rdm5687]

Awesome thumbnail 😂 Kudos to Clyde.

[@bilalbil1652]

What a sequence of brilliant moves by Karpov

[@musical_lolu4811]

I swear. How to train that skill eludes me. The book by Charles Hertan gives me some hope.

[@dobry_brek]

On a date but I have to watch anyway❤

[@user8153]

Please don’t

[@Tocinos]

Priorities straight

[@RMN671]

😂😂 My guy has his priorities

[@SirbySays]

My boy, you're grabbing pawns when you should be looking for mate

[@wanderhillen2435]

Watch it together with your date! Imagine if they say "oh yeah Danya is great!", that's a mate in one right there.

[@DanielWillen]

Thumbnail game is strong

[@Dagolis]

This is the most fire thumbnail I've ever seen

[@jasonhighdale6690]

He wanted that rematch lol

[@briant4326]

5 min games are so packed with instruction. Love it

[@alexwiththeglasses]

Deeply appreciate the time GM Danya took to explain how textbook tactics can involve complications and nuances irl & how to resolve them.

[@sladek692]

You are a wonderful teacher, commentator and human being I love watching your content, thank you so much for your work😇❤

[@user-xk4hh9kj4j]

Hell yeah for 5 minute games!!!

[@alexselby802]

Danya’s videos always brighten my day

[@schachprofinot7264]

You asked for honest feedback in your intro to the speedrun, which I am watching right now. So, here it is: this particular video here was JUST GREAT! Elaborating on the deflection technique was very interesting - thanks a lot for this. I am really looking forward to watching the entire series and maybe even catch some of it on Twitch. Keep it up, please!

[@Lieutenant99]

I like the way he’s brutal and with lots of charisma at the same time. Thank you Daniel for the masterclass piece.

[@kingofklutch1]

Love the 5+0 Danya!!

[@travisbmagic]

that breakdown of the h-file attack was gold, I don't know how many times I've had those attacks fizzle out by simply pushing g5

[@abolbuna8418]

we need more daniel we love the content and we appreciate the work you put in thank you and hope to see more of this content

[@7845668]

Absolutely love the lecture on removing the knight on f6!

[@DZ-lp6ls]

Same, this is one of my most favorite speedrun analysis and I have watched every single one since the start of them lol. Thank you so much Danya.

[@AI-xi4jk]

Fantastic job as always!! Thank you Danya

[@TheFilipFonky]

Fantastic lesson, Daniel.

[@bobkreme2175]

naroditski upload means its gonna be a good day

[@thetransferaccount4586]

those examples of dislodging the knight is why danya's speedruns are the best ever

[@ryanboyd4770]

Cheers Danya 👍👍

[@davidshatto7604]

Just started making dinner this upload came at the best possible time

+1 cause Danya is undefeated. Keep it up brother, we love you

[@fleddermuus4616]

5‘ games are supercool for a change 👏 i like to watch 3 games and the faster pace

[@vitojanav7644]

Finally! Another bitz video!

[@marcofrey2903]

Big ups!

[@WhizzerdSupreme]

The dude making these thumbnails needs a raise 😂

[@janc.2877]

Recovering from wisdom teeth extraction and watching the speedruns. Thanks Danya

[@SchmidtyClimbs]

This is the secret sauce! The methods you demonstrated for deflecting the knight on f6 were extremely instructive. I already had a game where I was able to implement the knight hop to d5 and won quickly after that. Thank you for providing the best and most enjoyable chess content out there.

[@mercilpb]

Love the karpov game, one of my all time favorites

[@MeritedMasterOfTheUSSR]

thanks

[@dermotshaw6775]

What a wonderful life you live. You are blessed

[@gilthbrim6423]

simply incredible thumbnail

Good vid and games

[@deepakbhange5715]

You are best free chess teacher on KZbin

[@forestvan4915]

Best thumbnail

[@ErickRileyMiller]

Any day a speed run drops is a good day

[@victor6010]

9:44 guy offering a rematch multiple times, he was pissed off with that loss 😅😅

[@XtreMePyroX]

You’re my favorite KZbinr by far and I’ve learned more about chess from you than anyone else on this planet. Some feedback : the majority of your demographic is in the 1400-1700 rating range and it’s been over a year since we’ve gotten any content from this range. Please spend most of your time in here (even if that means lowering your rating once you get to 1800)

[@andress4780]

10/10 thumbnail i cried

[@doiknowmyenemy]

That 2nd game attack was so brutal.

[@braillgebra1706]

I have one weird request. If an opportunity comes would you please play with 2 rooks against the Queen. I’ve just never been able to withstand the onslaught of the Queen in such situations. Tyvm

[@qiuzu5256]

If the 2 rooks are connected and have much potential to attack the king or grab pawns they are usually better than the queen

[@px2059]

last game was very entertaining. we need more of that lol.

[@showmethedamnvideos]

That Karpov-Korchnoi game is one of my favorite games ever, and I thought about it before Danya even mentioned it- feel like I'm really making progress!

[@charleskun6384]

The thumbnail goes so hard

Do a counter to the cow, just in case I play Tyler1

[@Grannyknockers]

It’s really the small moves like Qc4 that win the game. Squeezing out as many potential tactics from each tempo as possible. That pin on f7 was huge later in the game.

[@smokinafrican525]

the last game is insane, I usually poop my pants in such situations

[@tayk-47usa41]

[@carterburgess2337]

I spent more time than I'd care to admit confused out of my mind because I could have sworn I'd seen these games before. Then I remembered I was feigning for Danya content and so watched some twitch vods xD

[@artyom3404]

what i liked about pervious speedruns is that they were short/ These are goog, but long video are scary

[@user-fo9cq9le3m]

I do hope danya gives more instructive videos like this on intermediate players rather than 1000 rated beginners. However, Very impressive new approach to scandi+indian setup Learned a lot from H file attack ideas e5+Ne4

[@moatasimmohd462]

Thumbnail is insane

[@DarkShaman667]

My heart almost stopped several times. 5min chess is so stressful!

[@JFresh1977]

re: intro - I nearly won a game against a chess expert from the St. Louis Chess Club but I lost because I didn't consider the King's escape route. Opponent made a huge blunder and had I thought about that I would've won. Considering the King's escape route is so important!

[@J1ngzz]

10/10 thumbnail 😂🦏

[@refinedtalker6932]

I'd love to see more hippo destruction

[@shanastroskyphazer8172]

Interesting games thanks !, do you play 2/1 or 3/2 much ? could be interesting time controls for a speed run ?

[@husnainkhan6531]

As a student of English language Danya can be very good teacher along with teaching excellent chess

[@yafi2475]

Amazing video Danya. Just want to point out that the audio volume was a bit lower than the usual videos.

[@jessepace3042]

What a thumbnail haha

[@modolief]

Wow!!

[@axodash]

Naroditsky uploads, I click

[@dfmarver]

The H-file with a knight on f6 theme was a phenomenal lesson. Any literature you recommend that will have similar specific themes in it (i.e. deeper than general concepts)?

[@GabrielHaller]

Does the samisch setup also works against the hippo defenses? I have the feeling that these c3 lines make it quite easy for black to equalise

[@adityamukherjee9462]

Just an idea - what if you played bullet games (1+0) without explanation... and then after the game is done, then you can explain how your instincts caused you to play the moves that you play. I think bullet would fully ensure that you're playing with instincts only and not too much deliberation - and I would really be keen to learn how your mind works in such quick time controls.

[@vedantyelmalle2439]

Voice level is low in this video. I thought it was my headphones but the other videos are loud enough.

[@WhiteThunder121]

Ah yes, the famous Naroditsky Mouseslip Variation. A tale as old as time.

[@archibaldmcglasson7111]

i like this low energy shit

[@OmGupta]

danya waiting for your course

[@coffecuber1092]

Rxh5 was the strongest move 24:27 cos you have Qg5

[@MeleAndrea94]

What's the best way to be faster? Mouse/Smartphone etc

[@s4m3r]

Why is it that the d2 knight often ends up in g3 and not e3 after f1? It feels like after the knight is at g3 its squares are restricted by the g pawn

[@yoshitimz7808]

I really wanna see a speedrun where you play from a losing position the whole run. Just can’t seem to think how you would get to a realistic bad position.

[@michigan53105]

N e5 in the second game is gorgeous

[@Pitfall.]

On the topic of “speedrun time control”, it is we who benefit from your coaching. Feed me what you can and I shall feast. Thanks

[@Yu5f]

My dog died but I have to watch anyway❤️

[@xanderbeenen5729]

Is it possible to showcase how you find all those examples using ChessBase and how we can get most out of ChessBase as a intermediate player? (2000 otb)

[@user-ct5zs8dz9s]

More blitz pls sensei!

[@tayk-47usa41]
