Please don’t leave KZbin Danya… it’s not necessary a speedrun, you can comment one of your favourite Blitz game of the day after or something like that…. But the explanation of a game 3 times a week is just my favourite content in KZbin (Chessly speaking). Thank you very much and keep going… you’ll hit a million subs here someday.

These are my absolute favorite Danya! Please keep doing the speed runs!

[@pianissimo7121]

I was overwhelmed with the QGD theory. Thats when I started playing Carlsbad, and its such a fun and intuitive opening. Most of the time I can learn from my mistakes unlike other QGD positions where it becomes very complicated for me.

[@EliasOwnage95]

I hate when someone declines my gambit, lose almost every time

[@Richard_Stroker]

If the Carlsbad is so fun then why isn't it called the CarlsGOOD?

[@bggines_1260]

I should develop this technic of not grabbing a piece outright when you can do in-between moves just so you can neutralize any hope of counter offense! Thanks a lot for this video, Danya!

[@m42orion12]

Another fantastic chess lesson from daniel,this is why i love this channel.He explains EVERYTHING to help you,really nice man as well.

[@FruitOfTheSpirit]

I’m a simple man. I see Danya post a speedrun vid, I stay up past my bedtime.

[@jasonthomas1539]

As much as I am looking forward to the rest of the end game series and all the other things you have planned... I still can't get enough of these "speedrun" style videos you do, playing live and explaining everything as you go. Thank you so much and I hope you never stop lol. Huge fan. Cheers from Nunavut!

[@ollivier75]

love the speedruns so much. we're just addicted now, we need our weekly dose ahah. Can't wait for the new one. Started playing the four knights scotch thanks to you it's been pretty fun. As always thank you sensei

[@stegozavr171]

Great and really informative video! I especially liked Daniel's game as an example of the f3 - e4 plan, really instructive

[@singami465]

Something is wrong, there's only one chessboard in the video, yet there are three kings on my screen. 👑

[@LingtonTV]

These positional games are so insanely instructive! The tactical ones are too but these are a different breed

[@subhamghosh8083]

You're an absolute genius of a chess teacher. It feels illegal to watch your videos for free.

[@matiaslizano2820]

A very structive video thank you for sharing that knowledge

[@yoavrr8786]

i have been speedrunning your old video's for the last couple of days they are all very helpful thank you

[@LukasBebee]

I’m always late to the speed runs so I’m still watching the 1400 videos, but each time I watch through I reach a new peak in my chess ability. I am developing new ways of thinking about positions and improving my calculation and I feel so much sharper. Thank you danya!! I’ll come by on twitch soon to give you my prime sub

[@XVRMEDIA]

Please keep the speedruns going, they’re so entertaining ❤ Try to play 1800 to 2300 so the opponents don’t do a lot of obvious blunders and they actually mount some resistance 😂

[@thechessfish]

Imagine booting up a 15 minute game and resigning with 14 minutes on your clock and also being a 2200

[@niclasfilms1]

I always find that type of time management so crazy. Like, you can just play blitz??

[@merijnheijmerink9147]

I really really hope you will start a new speedrun! Its insane how much we derive from these video's. You are the most beloved instructive chess video maker on youtube, hands down.

[@arightscepter]

That is fascinating start to finish.

[@senkuu3000]

[@CalWalrath]

Super helpful 🙏

[@marwanmg]

I love your explanations

[@theodorebervoets1158]

That first example game was beautiful

[@Solly2201]

The origin of this opening was during the 1800s when a club level player carl was too self obsessed with his chess so a master level player challenged him and decided to play a random line which he had not analysed prior and mated him with 5queens, and he decided to name the opening carl is bad variation (carlsbad variation)

[@Solly2201]

Also yes this story is not real just in case💀💀💀

[@Solly2201]

@Memes shorts you never know

[@aluminiumknight4038]

The original name was "Carlsmomfat" but fide changed it in 1907

[@jayure1346]

The fact that I believed it for a second 💀

[@jayure1346]

Probably cause I’m tired but still 💀

[@matteopriotto5131]

Love seeing this opening recommended. 2000 level player and this has been in my repertoire for years and I tend to score great with it with the Nge2 line

[@alexf0101]

thanks

[@vialb2]

Please, speed run until 2400! Your channel is the next level learning. Awesome stuff

[@notrelevant1564]

Nge2 works well against be6, allowing Nf4 and the often smothered bishop is trapped- capturing often forces black to recapture with the f pawn leaving his light squares weak given black has often already played h6.

[@marc149]

[@jibbiw999]

Nah those are just an illusion, our eyes suck at precise vision 😂

[@alanESV2]

Isn’t it also a Carlsbad when black trades the c pawn and white the e pawn?

Hi Danya!

[@thecoalbaker8478]

The same structure arises in the exchange caro kann but reversed which is cool

[@eyalkarni3290]

bishop to f2 instead of Re1 seems much better. or am I wrong?

[@ChaosAmos]

Watching Danya plays is like: Oh ok, chess is an easy game, everything is so clear and simple. Me playing: OMG he moved a pawn!

[@ogtoptimalgamingtutorials7307]

Why did you edit parts of your game out? Specifically, around the 12:20 (game time) mark, you were contemplating f5 and cut like 20 seconds out of the video. Is this just to shorten the length of the video?

[@TheNinjaDude-jt1ci]

Wait in the first game when he played Bd6 why not take on f6 cause if he takes with the queen, you can play Nxd5 and after cxd5 Qxc8

[@Tinil0]

Gotta hate the resigning with less than a minute off the clock in a 15 minute game. You really aren't kidding about people playing too fast.

[@criscesc]

Poor Carl

[@loristavernier31]

Since I managed to achieve a bunch of things in chess, OTB chess, I have a feeling that chess has become a lot easier to understand. For example since I am 2000 fide, the games against the masters I am playing against, feel more smoothly and more easy. Do you have the same feeling ? @Daniel Naroditsky

[@90DegreesAngle_]

I have the exact opposite when I finally hit 2000 OTB I only started to realize how little I actually knew and how insane the level of titled players actually is

[@CHESSGUY950]

Can you make a video where you tell us blacks plan in this opening and how white handle it i am 1700 i only play carlsbad with white it will be realy helpfull for positional players

It's the "Karlsbad", not "Carl's bad"

[@aiGeis]

The 2000+ rated players in this speedrun have been *awful* - hopefully you get better luck on the next one. Anyone who disagrees, just review the games and then look at the older speedruns. Stark contrast in skill level.
