GM Daniel Naroditsky's Best Chess Impressions 

When i was a little boy i thought that there was a special chess pronunciation that so many grandmasters used. Later i learned that it was russian accent.

10:02 ahh yess my favorite chess player, fabiano marijuana

that wesley so "thank you to god and thank you to magnus" had me howling

"I'm a man of few words, especially in bed. I don't talk much but I do a lot" I can actually picture Grischuk saying that.

This is uncanny. I can close my eyes and I wouldn't know it wasn't actually the real players. His Nakamura, Seirawan, and Wesley So are almost haunting they are so real.

The first ever chess player with personality disorder, footage from 1922, colorized

The Hikaru arrows...I'm dying.....

4:31 "I'm on 45 different drugs when I commentate chess"😂😂😂

Seeing this, him and Charlie is a match made in heaven.

"thank you toggi" nails the Rosen impression

7:56 - "Oh I blundered mate" Screen: Still playing the opening

That Wesley impression was so accurate😳😳

Yasser teleporting through time, Kasparov being Kasparov, and Grischuk’s deadpan voice all on point.

I haven't laughed like this in God knows how long - that was so funny !! Yasser playing Geller in Tilburg over the course of history was so beautiful

The best Hikaru impression I've seen. On point.

Kasparov's half Russian, half posh British accent gets me every time

Fabiano Marijuana 😂 9:57

10:02 "...and Fabiano Marijuana was also playing..." that made me rofl

'In this case, I might take your queen' as Yasser was terrifying. You are a fantastic impressionist mate

"my backup mouse is shit too" fuckin love it

Hahaha Wesley So is so good!

7:50 This Hikaru impression had me dying lmao. > "Qc1 check" - highlights completely different square. > Qc1 immediately blunders the Queen in 1 move. > Highlighted square isn't even a check. > Qd3 (highlighted move) isn't even a legal move.

Thanks for your prophecy! It helped my man Moist Cr1tikal aka Charlie

i haven't laughed out loud at a yt video since ages. fantastic impersonations

This is a masterpiece from start to finish, but I think my personal favourite is 9:28, especially since it's all too easy imagining that Grischuk really would say this. Even Nepo couldn't hold back laughing when he watched this part of the video on stream lol.

'exactly jen, precisely' gets me every time xD

So... nobody is going to mention how perfect his Pepe impression was? Even nailed the spanish.

Simply brilliant ... I remember Spassky impersonating Karpov “the fish” on TV Mastergame back in the 80s .. outrageous!! Yasser is my favourite here .. 🤣😂😂💥😂😂

Literally just started game "oh geez I blundered mate"

The Ivanchuk impression is fantastic, I mean there’re all amazing, but Ivanchuk’s one is the best

Naka impression was lacking one thing "I'm so bad at chess" Also, can't tell if he's doing Kasparov or Agadmator

OMG i could watch this a thousand times

This is the funniest shit I’ve ever seen. The Yasser , Dimitri ones were so fcking funny.

Kasparov, Nepo, Wesley So and Rosen impressions are on point

Oh man I never thought he would Vishy Anand so perfectly.

Thank for the laughs Daniel :) Seirawan's Tilburg got me

The pepe cuenca impression was super unexpected, Danya truly the goat chess entertainer.

10:05 *Ah my favorite player, Barack Obama*

The kasparov bit killed me lmao 😂😭

You're very funny but also polite and able to let someone else talk when you're a commentator... I enjoy watching you a lot! Cheers!

garry kasparov accent is epic... 1:03, 1:34, 2:28, 3:05, 5:39, 6:03, 6:16, 7:15, 7:31, 7:45 it's extremely unique right? or not? like a huge combination of so many places

Haha imRosen "thanks Toggi"

The Yasser impressions are so amazingly good. Now my top Yasser impersonator over Aman.

His Hikaru tone of voice is so accurate!

Daniel speaks Russian very well, that's why his Russian accent in English is just awesome))))))

Holy Cassia, these are amazing... His Kasparov is especially spot on as is his Wesley So.

Naroditsky has just become my fav GM lmfao

The Yasser Bits were priceless. "Tillburgh 1681"

Excellent, Daniel! Funny as hell. Your Anand, Nepo, Kramnik, Kasparov, Wesley, Hikaru, and Yasser were fantastic! Magnus sounded too accented, Williams too crazy. Is Esserman really that scary? Who was Kasparov playing in that loss? Who is the hardest to imitate? Do you do any of the following: Leko, Ben Feingold, David Howell, Nigel Short, Gelfand, Fischer, or Judith Polgar?

Seirawan impression is just hilarious rofl

The Kasparov one was the most iconic, but the Nepo one... dude, that wasn't an impression, that was an straight identity theft LOL

"Thanks toggi" perfect Rosen!😂😂😂

We need more of this Danya !

The Hikaru head turn at 6:57 was so accurate. 😂

that kasparov "Ye know" was spot on. Holy shit.

This is hilarious. Man, you are so awesome! i bet no one could impersonate you

HAHAH these were spot on. Laughed so hard at hikaru

King cooming, like train, on timee xD

nepo’s, so’a and hikaru’s… omfg, danya you’re a fucking legend!

Seeing how good his impressions of other people are makes me scared his entire personality up to this point has also been an impression.

@Gm Naroditsky sir, I first became aware of your skills via Bullet matches with Eric. This video however far overshadows your impressive chess repertoire. Well done sir.

The Komarov saying how many drug he take when commentate then flaming his own blunder was so funny!

this video made my day man, Daniiii love from Canada

The fucking Tilburg bit has me wheezing

This is hilarious, scary, mind-boggling, mind-blowing, hallucinatory, overwhelming and wonderful at the same time ❤

Kasparov impression is so on point!

These impressions are amazing.

That Kasparov impression had me completely dead!!

Nepo and So are insanely good!! OMG!

thank you toggi holy shit that was brilliant

Daniel is no less than a young Gary. You honor these great players and commentators. GO CALI! GOO DANIEL!

Thank you for creating a legendary chess player the fleshlight god 👀

OMG this is a Gem!

That kasparov impression is bloody good

10:01 Fabiano Marijuana LMAO

Yassir and Hikaru impressions together is gold

OH MY GOD! This absolutely amazing.

Love seeing you and Levy doing impressions

I lost it at Fabiano Marijuana 🤣🤣🤣

This is GOLD! I hope it blows up and gets to a million vies at least

This man is a fucking prophet

"my back up mouse is shit too!" Omg I can't handle it

This is gold lol But 8:20 doesn't sound like me.

The Kasparov impression is briliant 😂😂

THIS was what I didn't know I needed 😂😂 it's perfect

yes sir, been waiting for this as a compilation

HAHAHAHAH the tillburg always gets me

I saw that Garry Kasparov Masterclass ad impression! I actually bought that 😂 Edit: this is actually too good wtf 😂😂😂😂😂😂 Another edit: Thankyou Danya you are a great player and person much respect. Accents are impeccable!

The only one that was a bit off to me was carlsen. The rest are really, really good... Guess carlsen is hard to imitate? Also this is missing giri. Maybe Western European accents hard to imitate

Wesley's impression had me dying 🤣

My favorite was 7:28 “my backup mouse is shit too.”

Man I collapsed on Wesley, haven't heard of his Wesley before hahaahha

10:01 "Fabiano Marijuana" LMAO

Wow that is gold 😂😂😂😂 me encanto todos pero la parte de Pepe Cuenca mori ajajaj epic ratatatatatata 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

5:13 is hilarious for spanish community, Pepe Cuenca impression

Nepo impression is perfect

Some of these impressions were unfortunately lost on me because I'm not familiar with who he's impersonating. Makes me wish that there were labels to tell us who he's impersonating and more comparison clips, because I'm sure all the impressions were amazing. The few that I recognized were spot-on.

"... and poland had just been occupied". Bro, out loud laughing. I love the yasser stuff
