London System Unveiled | A Comprehensive Analysis | GM Naroditsky’s Theory Speed Run

This is beautiful, thank you!

What a masterclass!

I am excited to watch this. I despise the London and I play knight f6 as black vs the Queen's pawn!

Hey ! After Ne5 instead of retreating the bishop to e3, you say that Bishop e2 is forced but I think Qxd4 is possible as well since the bishop on f4 is hanging, I've checked with the engine and it checks out.

I'm late to the party but holy smokes it's crazy how it goes from just a couple pieces on the board all the way to that seemingly fake position of all the pieces jumbled up in the corner

Professor Naroditsky, you are amazing! My game has been significantly elevated since I started following you.

Danya, don’t get persnickety… Ding beat Neppo with the London System - woohoo

@DanielNaroditskyGM In the line that goes like this:-

1.d4 Nf6 2.Bf4 c5 3.d5 d6 4.Nc3 e5 5.Bg5 Be7 6.e4 Nxd5 7.Qxd5 Bxg5 8.Bb5+ Kf8 9.Nf3 Be7 10.Bc4 Qe8

It seems you overlooked an annoying move that white can play to cause black some problems and it's the move 11.Nb5!

I analyzed it a bit and it seems like it's black that has to play correctly to hold his position together but then the line only leads to a draw (I had help with the engine) after some correct moves on both sides. Seems like it can be used as a drawing weapon for white, not really cool with that but still okay btw

Cool system with 2... c5 tho, loved the video and your insights.

I would say the content is unqiue, your chess content is more advanced than Gotham.

10.00 I'm 1500 and I reached this position alot of time with Caro kann

If you can't grab money, set them on fire

I agree his voice sounds far more at home doing this than commentary, he is a natural teacher. Thanks Daniel

man I recently started to watch Daniel. This content is gold for sure 👏

There are many entertaining chess channels on YoutTube, but when it comes to educational contents then nothing beats Daniel Naroditsky!

I only watch top tier players like Carlsen/Nakamura/Dubov last few years, but Daniel is an exception I'll make. This was so fuggin instructive!

Place your took on the queen side where the RELATIVE BBOREDOM is slightly better!!! Because I am a casual player all about the fun it is at this point I tip the board over and hope for a more exciting game!!!!

You are truly one of the best teachers of all time. No kidding. Humble, amazing and good at teaching. Wow. We've got the whole package right here

Даня, а можно пару спидранов с 1900 до 2500, чтобы все игры были такие!?

holy shmokes

Thank's ! I'm lucky.

We can never say enough times how lucky we are to have all this amazing content for free.
Being able to see in the mind of a GM is really a privilege.
I'm recommending your channel to every chess player I know.
Thank you very much for everything you do.

Hi Danya! I was wondering: would it be possible for you to link the PGN to these games in the description?

loved the explanations... I will watch it again...

I think GM playing 2000s are the best use of time and most instructive, since anyone can explain for lower rated players and doesn't need GM to explain basic chess concepts to players like 1750 and lower. Anyone above 1750(in general) would also benefit from GM games vs 2000 player since they aren't that much stronger and they can still understand and benefit a lot from the games.

Thank you for the extensive analysis Daniel. I think sometimes you explain/talk TOO much, and wasting too much time. It feels like you could play faster and explain after you've played the move. Is this true, or are you thinking and playing moves at the same speed you would normally play them even if you weren't talking?

Because yeah. It seems like you're cutting it really close and not ahead on time at all. If anything you are behind on time and you would be playing on increment in an equal ish position if your opponent didn't drop that pawn and another one afterwards due to that one tactic.

Or you don't care about low time and are confident you can just crush all 2000 rated players with the 10 second increment in an equal material endgame?

You should have a win/lose counter

u play the poison pawn variation of the London when that queen comes out. Go ahead take that pawn lol

Amazing commentary, had to split it between morning, afternoon and night hahaha

This was brilliant again!!

❤

Thanks for sharing your insights into the game. It’s very helpful.

This guy sounds like Bill gates on 2x speed.

You make me like chess

What a masterclass

Trully valuable instructive content, nice, rich and throrough explanations, no guimmicks you should have way more subscribers only if peeple wnanted to get better at chess by understanding that they have to put out the work. Way to go!

Things autocorrect tried to make me say instead of Danya: Fanta, Santa, Danny, Tanya, Dana. I was trying to thank Danya for helping me get to 1300 with his videos but god damn.

gppd content

I have become so much better at chess simply by having similar conversations with myself in my head, where I explain to myself the weakness created after every move my opponent makes. These speedruns have helped me enormously

London players get out of your stream 😭😭but Gotham made me do it

Danya is a GM chess player, but a Super GM chess explainer/instructor. From this video I learned a zillion things about different facets of chess, including an extremely useful introduction to a dynamic system against the annoying (but ubiquitous) London System.

Your videos are great Daniel, it helps with finding small imperfections that do not seem like that at the eyes of less experienced players. Thank you for the content!

Please flip the board.
