oh god the gruesome knife and fork is going to stick with me, lol
Love your videos bro you are a great NATURAL teacher in addition to being a great player. I see a lot of great players but they don’t teach as good as you. They say the correct move ,which helps, but don’t explain the situation or why the move is good or why another move is bad like you do. And games are all different and can’t memorize every game. But you explanations make sense and stick in my head no matter the situation. I learned so much from you and have been winning more because I know the correct way to navigate. Keep up the great work! And maybe if you could do a video on so “DOs and Donts” for an intermediate player. Some rules that helped you progress from 1000 rating as you were coming up. You prolly see common mistakes all the time with 1000 rated players. If you have time and want to. But love your channel your great
Thank you for these videos. Can you explain your choice to play the Kid over the perhaps more en vogue grunfeld?
I vote for resetting your rating and doing a proper 10 min "speed"run. Would be extremely grateful either way though.
I'm a mini naroditsky, I play KID and sicilian
How to support you?
I'd prefer a 10 minute speed run if you're taking a pole.
Keep it 10 plz
Daniel I started chess last week and I'm ADDICTED to your videos. Big up playa
i love these educational videos great work…👍👍
Very nice video as always sensei danya, thank you!
this bishop is a giga chad
The first guy was worse than the people I play against at 600 elo
Excellent instruction and highly informative as always. Thank you for this series.
You're a star, Daniel.
What if white takes the c pawn after black moved c5 pawn break?
Is there a reason white doesn't just play dxc5 at 1:47? Is it because the pawn can easily be captured by the queen later on or more about avoiding doubled pawns, etc?
Thank you for all the clear and free explanations, you're the best Danya!
Best chess instructor on the internet
Cheers mate
4:16 why not Qa5?
This is so much better than any other "educational" chess video out there. Explains every single move thoroughly. It's just so obvious even for me as a 1000 rated player !
How does 1700 player play this bad?
I wish I knew your channel before. Great explanation.
daniel always does some absurd analogy lol fork and knife?? made more sense in chess terms
12:00
Man, you make chess seem so simple the way you explain it. Then I go play a game and there's no simplicity to be found! Ha ha. But I think that just means you're a better teacher for we beginners than, say, most of the other streamers I've seen. Just wanted to say "thanks," and I'll be sending other noobs your way.
opponent moves:
Daniel: okay see this is where he messed up
lol
Naroditsky is the best chess teacher on youTube , he explained the motive behind every move, just loved it. I have got to know many things which I used to do wrong while playing this opening.Just want him to upload the master class of every opening and if he does so I am sure, I will achieve the rating of 2000 soon as I am 1800 now.
Kings Indian is probably the only opening that I can never get through a middlegame with. I always get trampled and checkmated easily. I prefer the Caro or the sicilian because when I play those openings I seem to win a decent amount. Its not that the openings bad I'm probably just bad with the opening
I really like your style of teaching by asking questions. Proper educational methodology. Thanks for the content, it's really helpful
Daniel what are you drinking that it makes you twitch
I find it really disheartening that this video has roughly 75,000 views, yet the video you've uploaded featuring moistcritical (forgive the misspelling) has over 250,000 views. This is the world we live in. Clearly they views are not representative of the interest in actual content. It's just a popularity contest shitshow
What I love about this is the full explanation of the logic behind the moves. great video.
Whenever I play chess now I have Daniels voice in my head narrating my position.
King's Indian is definitely a good opening, but I still prefer the Queen's Cowboy. It has better tactical opportunities
if OP had try to win the bishop with the knight, and after Nxd5, cxd5 Bg7, then OP could push d6. This was something that Daniel himself avoided. How would the game continue from that ? 17:06
ممتاز جداً
The knive and the fork technique could lead to the steak gambit
I have 2 superpowers (learning difficulties 😆) & certainly Daniel's explanation is far clearer & easier to follow, to ponder on & get inspired!! My friend & opponent loves to play the Indian defence & this video gave me great insight into possible threats & how to act proactively. Thank you so much Daniel
Gigachad Bishop – GM Daniel Naroditsky 😂
The scream though at 1:47
always great content on the king's indian!
This person helps to make your move better particularly in positional way
as Levy says: "PP on the PP" (put pressure on the pinned piece)
Sensei what books or courses do you recommend for KID?🙏🏼
Trawling through older speedrun sessions, and this one is an absolute gem 💎. Legendary as always Daniel!
3:40 what if he attempts to fork?
Hikaru being more popular than Danya is a fucking tragedy
Fantastic. I have a good sense of how to proceed vs e4 but not always d4 👍
