Real teachers. Aren't easy to come across

One of the best parts of the endgame series (apart from the Knight+Bishop mate video, lol) is how clearly excited Danya is about each one. It makes me feel excited for them too.

Danya: thinking software engineers care if he says dataset or datapoint. Software engineers: stunned by his brilliance in analyzing technical chess positions.

As a 1200 player i thought endgame videos are hard to comprehend and boring AF but holy cow this series of videos are super helpful, I'm super grearfull Sensei Danya❤

Figured out the concept of the second puzzle pretty much immediately. Bring the king to the left to force a knight concession then move back the other way. Of course in a real game where I wasn’t in puzzle mode I would run to the right side of the board immediately and lose/draw. Wish there could be a flag that popped up announcing I’d officially entered a naroditsky endgame puzzle in my online games…

I didn't expect the "french" lol. I love these episodes, even though they're an hour I have zero problems concentrating on the videos (unless I'm watching while trying to sleep), I can feel your genuine passion about this topic and it really shines through.

I was feeling good about myself for finding the winning idea: all three phases then Danya started showing the lines and I realised I had almost seen nothing. I have called myself to a meeting to discuss performance improvement in calculation. You see, not only had I seen the idea, I had also "calculated" lines. I missed the nose on the face every single time! I didn't actually see the key positions and lines! Didn't realise how strong d4 was. I thought I'd just come back and gobble the pawn and I "correctly" rejected Kh4 BY ACCIDENT because I miscalculated: thought black was losing but the reason? You'll laugh. So, I'm attending a meeting with myself to improve my chess. What do you an amazing video! Chess is hard but fun! Thank you Danya!

I really appreciate the endgame videos. Thanks so much for making these!

Me: spends 5 minutes analyzing the first position shown. Also me: presumed it was from black's POV with white threatening to queen.

14:44 the amount of self control from danya there

Thank you Danya. I really appreciate these videos and the ffort that goes in them.

Daniel, thank you very much for giving us these excellent endgame videos.

Great lesson as always, Danya! The second example is absolutely amazing!

This is such an amazing video and explanation. Amazing how you show the beuaty of this endgames. Kudos Danya!

This endgame series is the best video form chess educational content on all of the internet. I cannot possibly thank you enough for putting in all this effort for us. You are a treasure to the chess community. Thank you!

beyond amazing. Thanks so much. I love the 30 minutes per position

Great video as always. Much of it goes over my head until explained, but I'm still new to chess and find it fascinating.

The passion is palpable. I love it.

Really interesting material and a good follow up as just finished the 100 endgames you must know. Keep up the nice work

seeing the bigger picture instead of "move by move" calculation in second position, made me fall in love with chess again and again . thanks danya

Naroditsky endgame videos are the best chess content on KZread bar none. Your effort on these is extremely appreciated, please keep ‘em coming!

Thank you for this content Danya, can't wait for the king vs king video

It is amazing how clean and simple he makes this! Danya, you are truly such an amazing chess teacher!! I wish I could quit my job and just study chess full time!

This series is one of the Best (if not THE Best) educational chess content I've found. I'm traslating them to spanish to show them to all my Friends and students. Thanks and hope that your channel keeps growing.

Great as always!

Always love your videos danny!! ❤️❤️

I’m arriving sooo late in my side quest but I’m here now and these are amazing content. Got the Dvoretsky Manual and have already learned a ton from it 👍

this helps so much, thanks Danya!

Nice! You're on a roll Danya.

Good video, I will make sure I take the time to learn this stuff.

Let's go!!! another endgame video

This was an outstanding tutorial. Would love more endgame content from Danya

The Internet's chess teacher does it again! Cool new logo by the way 🙂

I love your educative content. Especially engames.

Huge thanks Danya!

To be totally honest, when one of these endgame videos drops I feel like I’ve been given a homework assignment or a plate of vegetables to eat, but by the time I’m getting to the end I feel like my mind has ascended to a new plane and I’m having a blast. Thanks for your hard work.

Thank you so much for the video, I loved being able to pause and do the calculations on my own for the first part. The second one I got lullued into the facade that moving the king to h4 was winning, so i stopped prematurely. Could you do more videos that teach concrete calculations?

First puzzle is in Chess Fundamentals by Capablanca. Cool sequence.

Congrats on your win against carlsen in TT 😎 brilliant game

Thanks Danya, liked it even before watching.I m sure It s quality content.

400 k lets gooo, well deserved

I can stress enough how much this endgame series is helping my chess. As a pretty experienced chess player, I feel that I use way to much time to study openings compared to the other parts of the game - especially endgames. Endgames even help you play your middlegames better, as you can see where the pawn structure is heading, and when to trade down and enter the endgame. So far you have masterfully taught many concepts, and specifically the pawn breakthrough video I found EXTREMELY useful, as it has saved me many points already in OTB! Cant wait for rook endgames, and might I suggest taking a dip into checkmates such as queen vs rook?

Thank you very much for making me a better player, Danya!

Woo!! Endgames!!!

great video

I just tried to explain the second position to a friend, made a complete clown of myself, and ended up sending him the link to this video. I appreciate Danya even more now 😅

Another tour de force. It was well worth the time to me. I hope it was worth the time to you. My Stage 1 plan of course marched exactly as shown to the blunder on the kingside. Of course after seeing that, my march to the queenside was, like yours, better than the postal player's, which I find to be amusing. Maybe they like playing the 2nd or 3rd fastest way of getting there if the ways are equally effective. Or maybe there is a trap possibility they are hoping to lure the opponent into, after the impression of a less than perfect move.

I wait whole week just to get a Danya video ❤

love the new logo

thanks danya

NIce video !!

It was undoubtedly a fascinating study and an inspiring appreciation of the complexity of endgames. It demonstrated some ideas in action, which is great. The downside of it though is that for a 1500-1600 like me, there is absolutely no way I would know how to apply those ideas in a position such as the one given. There is no way I'd be able to calculate so far just to know I need to back track and waste a tempo. If I were able to do that I wouldn't be 1600. In that sense the instructional value of this video is diminished. I am however really looking forward to your practice videos where I could have a go at solving increasingly complex positions using the tools I've acquired, while concreting the knowledge gained.

danya you are legend

best endgame series

Best teacher EVER

Before Naroditsky's first video on that topic, I lost every single drawn knight vs. pawns endgame, whether I had a knight or some extra pawns. There were between 10 and 15 of those. So a very important topic. P.S. Since he started making knight vs. pawns endgame videos, I've never gotten one in any of my games. I am not yet sure whether I should have added 'fortunately' or 'unfortunately'. But I didn't play all that much lately.

Could you make endgame speedrun videos that focus on endgames plz? I find that most of the speedrun videos opponents got smashed in middlegame.😅

I appreciate thid video

Its unbelievable how just 2 pawn vs 1 Night is complicated sometimes just watching this videos is enough to break anyones confidence on how much sure they are about chess evaluation cause nowadays its common for people to assume by engine evaluation that this is basic draw and wining

Hey danya, if you make a rook endgame series, can you show how to win the queen vs rook endgame?

Hell yeah Danya

@42:22 you said "Nc4, Ne4, dorsnt matter" but i think yiu have to play Ne4, because if yiu try to checkmate on b2, the Queen takes.

Burning my brains on a place. Im really wanna see Danya on next candidates.

I put this position into stock fish and it said +0.5, then did E2 and immediately jumped to +2.8, and when you go back to the original position it finally realizes white is winning and stays at +2.8

FINALLYYYYYY

at 57:00 , as a software engineer, it makes a lot of sense to me :)

May you please make a rook end game?😁

My biggest pet peeve is when Danya and many other chess educators say "1 square diagonally" when it is a mathematical fact that the knight and king are 2 squares apart, like at 1:05:20

@@rgqwerty63 I see what you mean - sorry, I was looking at the wrong position. You're right, the K and N are definitely 2 squares diagonally :)) The reality is that I misspoke and meant to say "the king is one square away from attacking/making contact with the knight" or "there is one square between the K and N" and it ended up as a jumble. My bad.

KEEP THESE COMING PLEASE

If you flag your opponent when you only have a knight is it a draw or a win? And does it matter if your opponent has pawns and which columns the pawns are on?

@mayukhbaidya569

4 ай бұрын

see i assume that you mean the opponent still has atleast one pawn left because then only the match can continue; and for the second part yes it will be a win regardless of column because if the opponent plays the absolute worst moves then he can get himself checkmated(just think of a situation where the pawn has promoted to a rook, and then opponent's king and rook is on h8 and h7 whereas your king and knight is on f8 and g6)

"Babe wake up , the new Naroditsky Endgame video just dropped"

Matthew Sadler vibes in the intro

36:05-36:15 my brain during games

The only thing I just hate about this series is how much less views it has compared to the others. Maybe if more people watched Danya could make more and faster!

the last example is CRAZY

In the second ending my engine gave 3 winning moves in less than a second. Not only that but even if black was playing first, it gave a losing position in less than a second again. Maybe this game was played decades ago were chess engines were not that evolved...

Go to sleep bois! New amazing endgame video just dropped!

It is impossible to discuss the knight in depth without coming to the point that it jumps, but, with standard rules, it cannot lose the move by itself, nor does a pair of knights cooperate well enough to be able to force checkmate alone. And chess is based on taking an absolute piece and the features of the knight. Thus do we see 1,000 competing proposals for non-standard rules where a piece has a feature of the knight without one of the bugs.

You need to study how to mate with 2 knights. Back when I learned chess, the forced mate was not known, and taught as impossible. So I never tried. After it was discovered, I wish that I had tried and maybe discovered it myself.
