The Power of Pawn Hooks, Rook Domination | Develop Your Instincts | GM Naroditsky's DYI Speedrun

[@GouthamMohanvk]

Thank you Danya. I didn’t play chess at all. Now I’m genuinely into chess. 1000 rapid and blitz. Thank you for being a great teacher.

[@naryvan_]

i have more ratings

[@AdrianHernandez-ul4in]

@@naryvan_nobody asked. 1000 ELO is still a big milestone in one's chess.

​@@AdrianHernandez-ul4inI care I think it's pretty cool

[@advancedorange4818]

ur welcome

[@tannerjmewborn7470]

If you’re 1000 blitz you’re probably playing at 1200 rapid level, keep going!!

[@grahamdugan]

“Ok our opponent is clearly not in their right mind” - the most polite roasting possible.

[@J1ngzz]

My pawn is hooked as soon as I see a new Danya upload!

[@John_NYT]

Pawn? Yikes. Hopefully you can promote it once it gets in a girls back rank

[@Mejayy]

I love how Danya just casually quotes a "Denial Naroditsky" comment

[@bryanp5843]

Love seeing that guy in the Twitch chat

[@dohpam1ne]

Danya calmly asking "okay, where's the mate?" with ten seconds left, before delivering a beautiful checkmate 3 seconds later, is peak Danya

[@muharremcelik7071]

Even I know he is the top blitz player, it still gives me a lot anxiety lol

[@emilsadykhov123]

The guy in game two thought he was actually making his opponent think hard not realizing he was being used as an instructional lesson 🤣

[@nhaskell]

These once a week videos are the highlight of my week.

[@John_NYT]

I love how casual he is in the 2nd blitz game with less than 30 seconds and most of the pieces still on the board. He just knows he has mate around the corner.

[@r3ptillion565]

3 speedrun games in one, dayum gurll!!

[@lebirdking]

Superb analysis. Addictive content. Thanks Danya.

[@lucksker]

Oh My Lands what a GM move that pawn to h5 was on 32:50 . And you were so casual about it. My god that made me curse because how strong and subtle it was. That's the kind of move that escapes my mind when in such positions. Great Move Danya!

[@John_NYT]

Not a GM move. I’m 2,000 and that move was screaming to be played. You’ll get there someday. Just keep putting in the time.

[@yusufyusuf1998]

even without Rh4, its a good move becuse it isolates black g-h pawns

[@Rathbun222]

Just hit 1100. Used to be 1300, don’t know what happen but I fell off and these videos been really helping

[@richardlong5928]

It happens don’t sweat it

[@samarpan9382]

Before success comes the big dip

[@lyingcat9022]

People are getting stronger too! I’ve noticed it too over the last couple years. I’ve taken some time off but got back at it and I’m arguably stronger today than I ever was and I’ve lost rating points.

[@mircopaul5259]

If you play on the commercial site, I strongly suspect they engineer streaky play. The intense emotional response to the streaks leads to people playing a lot more than they otherwise would ...

[@3looy]

Its normal. I dropped from 1400 to 1100. Then from 1600 to 1400. Then from 1900 to 1700. But now im 2000

[@infernalflamezz7480]

Loved the Alapin French crossover!

[@itsmeleemarc849]

Thank you for quality and extraordinary play

[@jonathanvega7523]

I always imagine how many moves it would take for GMs to beat me and every time I watch Daniel I realize I’d be cooked in maybe 5. Anytime he’s like pause the video and see what to do, he proceeds to go and” I know the move you were thinking, and that’s the worst move in the position” and I’m like oh damn that is what I was thinking.

[@conicalreason2981]

Danya: "a pretty boring game..." Me: "That was f***ing awesome!"

[@thenyel1]

Daniel is such a good teacher

[@jordand2137]

Thanks again for all you do danya-

[@Chess_Improvement]

excellent video as always, my favorite GM, Trainer, Streamer, Commentator, Chess Figure, hope to meat him in person, all the best !!

[@DlyubPG35]

I love the basketball reference☝🏼😂

[@DlyubPG35]

As a hooper and a chess enthusiast this episode was for me lol

[@faintedmemo]

Only a chess player would call a basketball reference obscure lol

[@DlyubPG35]

@@faintedmemo that’s facts😂😂😂

[@LimboGcX]

As a big man who’s had the chair pulled out, this reference felt targeted 💀

[@psaini1999]

In the first game, Ne2 preparing f4 does work if you play it before castling and it's a really cool tactic if black goes for d5 you go f4, and if they take you have Bb5+! Black plays c6 and you only have 1 piece in the path of the pawn and black has two. Full line 8. Ne2 d5 9. f4 dxe4 10. Bb5+ c6 11. Qxd8+ (important) Kxd8 12. fxe5 cxb5 13. exf6

[@davidlavy4888]

This was an excellent video and perfect for my skill level. Thank you so much for everything you do

[@Ulicius99]

I have a suggestion! Something that happens often is I realize I’m losing and then I don’t know how to create difficult situations for my opponent. Could you do a video where you get a worse position against intermediate players and teach ways to play the position? (Even piece down positions)

[@emilsadykhov123]

“Ne2 yeah, not Nge2 btw because the other knight is pinned” I love the subtle carlsen notation complaint reference 🤣

[@jkarush]

You’re the best Danya. Seriously. Please put out content more frequently. We’re all addicted.

[@chizuru1999]

23:55 why we couldn't check mate with queen and the bishop and instead moved the pawn?

[@bonsaiviking]

Black is in check. Only legal queen moves are Qxe4 or Qf5.

[@AntõineMora-p4r]

Always watching your content daily....I know understand indian game, sicilian and vienna, which is now my favorite opening

[@chuhai4172]

very nice and instructive video

[@geoffreymak000]

37:50 Those French lines are crazy

[@xuankienta3246]

Wow Naroblitzky has a new video!!

[@blammular]

You were looking for another game with this tactical theme 15:25. That Capablanca game. Maybe not one to one (fewer pieces) but pretty similar end. Bernstein - Capablanca Moscow 1914.

[@Anonymous-q5i3j]

Thanks for the vid!

[@Jacky7xz]

The position at 34:26 was actually losing for white. His opponent had to play Nxd4+ which clears the way for Bb5+. A rare moment where Danya got into a losing position and missed it in his analysis.

[@TymexComputing]

14:14 - what a countertactic :)

[@ryanboyd4770]

Cheers Danya

[@rhornjr]

"...just to say we sacrificed the queen," lol.

This Daniel fellow is good

[@lordoffraud1656]

Love the content BUT I would really like to see some other openings, especially d4. Of course you want to play what you know in order to give us the best recommendations, thankyou, but you must have vast knowledge in all opening, not just the gleck. Anyway, these are the best videos I’ve ever come across so thankyou

Danya has multiple speedruns worth of content with plenty of d4 stuff in them.

[@blakebradley829]

14:53 why does bd7 not save blacks position? What am I missing?

[@musical_lolu4811]

you're missing the ability to simply evaluate a position as winning or losing for a side, or equal. Not everything is 'tactics tactics tactics'. Black's kingside is extremely weak; it doesn't get any simpler than that.

[@greenenoiseaudio]

He literally mentions Bd7 10 seconds later

[@jamesrahe5287]

Hey Danya, love the channel? Is it possible you could move up to a higher elo? It's always nice to watch a more advanced player who can give more instructive, complicated games.

It’s a speedrun. That’s what he’s doing.

[@ComedyDanks]

'i see that my opponent is not in the business of recapturing any pieces' lol

[@KarwowskiChessSchool]

30:12 I would play Nf3, because ...d5 may seem natural for our opponent, and then there are ideas like e4-e5 and then sacrifice on h7 :)

[@peterflom6878]

Great content as usual Can you define "Russian schoolboy" in chess? Thanks

I believe it just means forcing trades when up material to win an endgame instead of entering tactical complications

@peterflom6878 Playing solid and making sure that your own house is in order before resorting to attacking or entering into complications.

[@optimalbrand]

Making principled moves, also making practical choices that might not be the fastest win but entail less risk while still prosecuting your advantage.

So I've been studying the alapin and the advanced French for this reason. I can't stand the Sicilian so I'd rather force them to the French if they offer it otherwise I'm really good with the alapin. And yes in both the knight to a3 comes up A LOT so as he said remember that move My issue is I'm so low elo that the moves they make don't make sense so I'm currently 500 elo beating the 1700 bots with no help lol
