"It's not about solving 15 problems a day, it's about solving 3 problems and extracting the key lessons from those problems"

[alexf]

this is some high level stuff, very interesting to see the thought process of a gm. I'll now be much more aware of positional concepts while I'm blundering away my pieces!

[bozone]

you could tell Danya really felt for the person who sent the message about his mom even though it is so hard to find the right response in those situations

Daniel: black should develop a bishop with Bd7.
Asgaard: black should grab more space in the center with e5.
Stockfish: h5, baby!

[mediocreburger]

Ah I remember this stream, the chat was amazing when the person talked about his mother. It’s truly an incredible community.

[maxseymour]

Why doesn't this man have more subs? Easily the best educational chess content on youtube, keep doing what you do danya <3

[onesack]

22:30 Danya you’re a great guy man, it’s really heartwarming to see that kind of sincere compassion and empathy from someone, keep it up!

[mickeyhalo]

Danya's empathy is heartfelt. May anyone that suffers from sadness & depression, be comforted. Pure unifying love is the consolation. We are together!

[evanmaier]

This is incredible content, I have never trained positional chess before and now I see it is a big weakness. Also my solidarity goes out to the viewer who spoke about their mental health struggle. It's important to remember you aren't alone and better times are ahead. Hang in there

[jimgu]

There aren’t as much positional challenges out there. I love that Danya talked about them in depth!

[flyingpinguu]

I would love more positional chess lessons although this was a little high for me. It would be nice to have these puzzles but more on an intermediate level.

[patricksasser]

Danya you are the main reasons I fell in love with the game. I love your mindset when attacking a challenging puzzle and the fact that you are a gm and still learning inspires me to strive for more

[ddmannion]

Daniel is so humble. He keeps apologizing for using the clock as a weapon. I can understand why since historically chess hasn't been about playing down to the millisecond. However, we need to acknowledge that the times have changed and that the audience for chess has become much more interested in blitz and bullet games. Personally, I believe that Daniel's talents should be recognized by the broader chess community as being very significantly mainstream today. Thank you for the excellent videos GM Naroditsky!

Wow, this is gold content! Thanks Daniel appreciate it as always : D

[asherf]

That is just too beautiful how you destroy the book with the engine. Not sure I’ll ever get to this level but your work has been unbelievably helpful to my game.

[grrrexky]

Just woke up, and I read with my blurry eyes, Mastering Positional Cheese. Guess who made a dono? CheeseCake. My third eye has opened. I have gained the power of chess prescience.

[RigMaster_]

I really love this video and I found it very very interesting. I really hope you continue to do this kind of vid!
Also, condolences to the person who lost their mum. One day when it is not so raw you will be able to look back and focus on the good times. Stay strong.
