How To Generate Creative Attacks in Chess (Lesson with IM Levy Rozman)

[@Hercziii]

I can tell Levy is learning a lot from these lessons

[@Esau004]

its really nice of Northern to give him some lessons!

He’s learning about getting weird with arbitrage.

[@Doomclown]

I hope when Levy becomes a GM he remembers the man who made him.

[@Mrcat-ue3ih]

Unfortunately I don't think he'll become a GM, he's to scared to get weird

[@ButtersStodge]

@@Mrcat-ue3ih I may be wrong but I think Levy said he doesnt want to put the extra time and effort in that it would take to become a gm, and he is happy enough just being at im level and teaching

[@Mrcat-ue3ih]

@@ButtersStodge Yeah, he did, but I was just joking since the original comment was an obvious joke on nl being better than Levy

Who knew you can get spoiled in a chess video 😂😂😂

[@RandolfTheGrey]

Since the last sesh with Levy I've started watching videos from Levy, Hikaru, the botez sisters and more. I've also gotten back in to chess myself. Today 769 tomorrow 4000. Thanks for the company egg.

[@ikicksassdaily719]

I’d recommend Daniel Naroditsky as well, especially his lessons with Cr1tikal are great!

[@woshhhhhh8174]

Can’t tell which one I like more, Dan-Egg or Goth-Egg.

[@slapmanjohn1189]

I like them both, because we get to see Ryab trying to draw on tactics he heard from an IM, and then he gets to go teach someone who unironically knows his pieces by their Game of Thrones counterpart whenever he gets to play with Levy.

[@prestonmatlock5262]

Imagine Goth-Dan

[@shockwaveskater]

They’re on like opposite ends of the chess skill spectrum and nl is right in the middle

[@DoctorShroom]

Imagine having all three in one video.

I love it when they just banter, Levy needs to come on as a guest on the NLSS or something for sure

I started watching Gotham literally a week before your first collab... and been watching NL for years. What a coincidence

[@voievod7541]

Dude I'm so glad I'm not the only one in this predicament. These collabs came out of nowhere and I'm so into it.

[@jared_tech3511]

"noooooooooooo I miss clicked" is honestly the most heart dropping thing I hear almost every single video and it always brings a tear to my eye.

1:12:30 the appealing part is that your moves are easier to understand, than grandmaster's, but you're still very good. This makes the content approachable and educational.

[@eliseofernandez8116]

I have little to no knowledge about chess. As a matter of fact, I have no idea what that Netflix series is about (besides being about chess duh). Yet I enjoy these chess videos. I think they have the same appeal as the tactical or strategic fights we see in fiction all the time. Fast, narrated chess matches have a weird appeal and suspense. Your monstrous miss-clicks only add to the enjoyment: the suspense never ends, because egg can always misclick. And when he does, will he be able to stand and defeat his opponent nonetheless?

[@Supercris25]

Egg : I dont see the appeal in average player gameplay. Me , who has watched this single Egg play the same game for 8 years : And I took that personally.

[@Reece_Hart]

2 hours of Levy and Daddy Egg? Oh lets go

[@rwo23]

When Levy said he lived in New York I thought to myself "oh, I wonder if he knows Rob"

[@johnjoeelkington8356]

[@ereboi122]

The Ng5 move was what I saw originally as well, it’s funny how the computer hates the move but it does not have the same thought behind it as a human does. It’s a very beatiful move as you explored in the analysis board. Great, helpful and insightful video!

[@neverpure20]

I'm loving these collabs

[@75Shad0ws]

When he said "we wanna get weird" That is when the like button got smashed!

[@connor6822]

I think the appeal of watching you play chess is your personality as well as watching you grow. We’ve watched you grow in so many games and chess is one with so much room for growth. You being “average” at chess let’s us watch and be able to understand, but also as you learn we are too. I’ve NEVER studied anything chess related, but watching you play I find myself really invested and actually sometimes being able to identify good moves. Then either you do it and I feel smart, or you don’t and I go check the analysis where we find out we were both idiots because your move was a mistake, but mine would have been a blunder.

[@connorp3030]

52:40 levy becomes a synth, how does he make this noise

"I don't see the appeal of watching an average chess player play chess." We watch you play everything else? At least this one you understand the mechanics of

[@JefftyJeff]

The last game in this video has a really cool vibe to it! Just two people hanging out, talking about life experiences, playing some chess. I'd definitely be down to watching some Ryan v Levy games with that format, maybe with Levy being a piece down or something. Edit: whoops, Levy, not Levi

[@Ardokaath]

Levy is ridiculously charismatic, and the chemistry between these two is absolute pog%

[@trias418]

1:12:00 the reason I love your chess videos as a 800 player is because I can understand your thought processes. You aren't so good as to be totally beyond my comprehension like 2000+ players are. This means that the drama of the game is easily understandable by me unlike higher level chess.

[@andersonn]

Northernlion, to avoid misclicks/releases (although they are hilarious), you can just click on a piece and click on the square you want to move it to.

[@douglasquaid7550]

that's what's causing the misclicks, he would be better of by only allowing drag pieces.

[@andersonn]

​@@douglasquaid7550 It's true that what caused him to move is that click, but him dragging back and forth with the Queen at 55:52 had him eventually release his click when he thought he didn't have the Queen selected. Focusing on only clicking would prevent this, maybe hopefully.

[@douglasquaid7550]

@@andersonn I see what you are saying, but I have seen it in other videos aswell, and it is always that he clicks a piece and then clicks a square. Never seen him drag a piece wrong

Honestly people at your level are more relatable than masters. The games where things get silly are more exciting than everyone playing the best move. Comebacks are also much more exciting than watching someone executing a clean win.
