omg a hit game (Chess)

[@dougmaccaferri1846]

NL running through potential lines to arrive at a mis-click move is *chef's kiss*

[@natebobdog23]

@Cry the opponent doesn't lose the bishop because there's Be7 after the check. still a strong move tho

[@XCeazyX]

The psychotic "no analysis" arc is really coming along great.

[@Jonesy781]

Refusing to learn from ones mistakes is the sign of a true master.

[@theronerdithas2944]

Never study, never analyse, no openings, no gambits, always down on time, missclicks guaranteed, minimum 5 blunders per game LOOKS LIKE RYAN

[@lemongambit]

@@theronerdithas2944 Ask GM what level is the most fun to play chess and they'll tell you it is around 1500. My man knows this truth and refuses to leave the zane for our glorious entertainment.

I love how nl only does an analysis when he wins

[@karlostojevic4657]

it's his drug, copium

[@georgecastaneda1779]

The passed pawn crisis turned into a masterful quick-thinking checkmate - bravo!

[@theHippiecat15]

"You protected the pawn but at what cost ... I've been there Steven." I died laughing.

[@Ihasnotomato]

I love that 'castle queen-side' is considered a 'zoomer move' in this game that is well over 1000 years old lol

[@mattland3924]

NL you can use the Drag Pieces Only move method in the settings to avoid misclicks like that first game.

[@SuperMann104]

While that is a great idea, that would require NL to ever open a settings menu lmao

[@samuelsisti4849]

Don't make him move any slower hahah

[@mattland3924]

@@samuelsisti4849 How would that make him move slower? He already drags pieces which is considered the faster method than click two squares. Using drag only would just eliminate misclicks where he didn't mean to move which actually might eliminate some cautiousness around mouse movement and let him go faster.

[@UngodlyFreak]

@@mattland3924 I don't see how dragging pieces would be any faster or slower than clicking. You have to move the mouse the same amount of distance either way. Plus I've had misclicks even by using the dragging method by releasing the piece on the wrong square.

[@mattland3924]

@@UngodlyFreak I think It can be slightly faster because you just have to click then release instead of click, release, then click again which can make a difference if you have fast mouse speed especially for short moves. At worst it's equal definitely not slower like Samuel suggested which is why I replied to him. Of course both methods can have misclicks/mouse slips although I find dragging is more intuitive and a bit faster and all the top players like Hikaru and Danya seem to agree. The point was that you shouldn't have both methods enabled at the same time which is the default if you only use one method. NL only ever drags and would prevent misclicks from two clicks if he used Drag Pieces Only.

[@ryanpeck7490]

NL plays the most relatable chess. Getting carried away by analyzing complicated lines for like two minutes straight like a supercomputer, only to regret wasting his time and move his bishop one square back.

[@Gabu_]

I love these chess videos, but for the first game I couldn't help but feel like screaming at my screen "MOVE THE DAMN PAWNS"

[@colinpaton3304]

Describing your chess pieces as your ‘squad’ send me every time man

[@Chadworthy_]

Best chess episode in the recent arc!!! That lightning win with 12 seconds left was amazing! The final game being neck and neck until the blunder-resign I was so happy NL was on the other side of that for once lol!!

[@cowehbunga_]

Chess has me so absolutely Pogged I wish it was part of the daily upload schedule

[@Kenzamaka]

I'm only 3 and a half minutes in and I was thinking about saying something about changing your controls to prevent mis-clicks but you know what it's content baybeeeee. Loving the chess content, thank you bunches.
