Checkmated by a PAWN? (Chess)

[@freddywright4239]

I love the idea that NL just has a folder titled “thumbnail faces” and they’re just aptly named things like “surprised” “happy” and “cursed”

[@daybreakhascome]

"pogged out of the gourd"

[@Gorm169]

You mean "cursed1", "cursed2", "cursed3".

[@Doomclown]

Good lesson in not castling to the side with all the other guy's pieces on it.

[@UngodlyFreak]

Unless all your pieces are on that side too.

[@alexthethu]

The "1300s these days" rant had me rolling.

[@deadbatteriesfreeofcharge438]

The En Passant gambit had me rolling. My man had to take it. Shame he didn’t win immediately after reading his primal instinct so clearly.

[@ddawg2396]

Northern I watch a LOT of chess content on KZbin but these videos are the only ones I have to watch and not just have in another tab. You get bullied and play very passive but once you get into the attacking mode it’s gigga-Egg strats. Much love

[@benjoleo]

Good title. For a second I thought he got checkmated by a pawn in rocket league but then the “(chess)” cleared it up

[@FrostyFyre]

That giving up your Queen at 25:55 killed me, was hollering at my screen 💀

This video makes me have opinions.

i can get down for this

[@ibefullofme]

I said out loud "well now he can't castle queenside" and I didn't mean it as a challenge but I guess he did prove me wrong.

[@michaelsheppard8352]

missed these vids sm! they r the absolute best. classic stuff i could see myself watching in 20+ years

[@Evilanious]

Queenside castle in the KID? Nono! That's not how it goes. The idea of the KID is usually that black will have play on the kingside with a sameside castling pawnstorm while white will break through on the queenside. Now when your opponent is basically expected to break through on the queenside, you shouldn't be putting your king there. Separately from this opening, which is fairly specific, a more general advice is that the pawns point towards where you should play. Here white's pawns pointed queenside and black's pawns pointed kingside.

[@aluminiumknight4038]

Man that position with all the pieces ready to attack the king side, castling King side was the way to go, the king would be very safe behind them and the rook already on f1. Leaving the king in the center might be good too, but queen side castle I think the engine will say it's a blunder

[@emil.soderholm]

the engine did say it is a blunder! you can see it in the video for just a sec

[@MrVovansim]

6:44 NL: looking absolutely dripped out like Drip Bayless. Wait, wait... Is that a Rick Bayless joke? Y'all know him up in the frozen waste country?

[@gamebot991]

can we talk about your eyes in the thumbnail

[@cdbre]

thank god for the (Chess) in the title, otherwise based off of the thumbnail I would've assumed it was csgo

[@Mighty1Bob]

good discussion on the merits of not resigning. It remains true, even above 1900 that people will make mistakes and lose a winning position. I would only consider resigning against an IM or GM. an IM that I follow will even attempt stalemate traps in his losing positions to salvage a draw

[@venahtmusic]

I thought I understood chess but wtf happened to his pawn around 13:03? Pawns can move diagonally in front of a passing pawn and capture it? What? I've never seen that.

[@mikahamari5994]

It is called "en passant". He says that expression around 12:56. The rule was introduced when pawns could move two squares at the first step. Earlier they didn't, so this move gives opponent possibility to capture them as if they had moved only one square. Here the white pawn in d5 takes black pawn as if it were at square c6 instead of c5.

how far we have come from the days when he used to call opponents crazy for castling queenside. My man's overshot a little too far to the other side though (literally)
