I've been feeling the urge to play chess again and I tricked myself into thinking I'm better than I am. Let's see what sort of damage we can do on Chess.com again!

11:34 - the thinking man's manouver is making the other player the thinking man

[@MrKegg]

11:34 if the computer accounted for time this would be considered a brilliant move

[@joemetzger8091]

Add the chess vids to the chess playlist! Many people are saying this!

[@tudorpaun9315]

yes please these will be amazing to watch again after some time

[@PLAjcmdaddy]

+2

[@joemetzger8091]

Wait either the streamer listened (hurrah!) or I just didn’t realize the chess playlist is in reverse chronological order (Heh)

[@toorandomtoostrong5084]

'' I don't know how to play c4, I don't even know what a C is for. '' - a love and death poem

[@PaulHobbs23]

I only play c4 and Sicilian and it’s such a vibe

[@number2pensyl557]

Great rook scaling this weekly NL! Those bishop buffs are OP tho!!!

[@PLJogging]

Trade me!

[@ItIsYouAreNotYour]

Juice me, Squeeze me, Queen me.

[@theinverteddonkey2961]

10:30 ish, this Bh5 is trapped for like 7 moves in a row and neither player finds it haha

[@AOTSismyhero]

Pretty true, that's pretty true

[@Keyw]

no worries, nl lost it anyway lol

[@ishshah31]

Ruka and getting behind the cords name a more iconic duo

[@RedzeeTV]

That last end game was art.

[@coolmandudeguycool]

remember your ABCs.. always be chessing

[@user-cz3sl5gr3n]

I thought it was Always Blunder Checkmates 😓 I've been doing it wrong

[@StormKidification]

Preach

[@gsc928]

21:15 onwards had me pogging out of my gourd

[@PaulHobbs23]

Gourds are fully pogged at this moment

[@JohnFKennedy420]

Finally!! Been waiting forever for you to play chess again. Your commentary while playing chess makes it much more enjoyable then other KZbinrs. It’s pretty inspiring please make more!!

[@etopowertwon]

19:17 you missed the shiny fork! Also chess content contains maximum pog per minute of video

[@kylebaird8813]

I figured someone else had already caught this. It's so perfect.

[@monthertheokguy7311]

yeah I had my share of screaming

[@treeinafield5022]

20:30 that endgame looked satisfying

[@TheOKAY]

12:35 “Wait they’re not better than me, I just won a free piece” lol great moment

[@Andrew-jh2bn]

"I'm the captain of this diagonal now" lol

[@bloodhound627]

"if I'm having fun, that's as good as it gets." thanks for the company

[@xXMikey2808Xx]

I have been refreshing for your upload eggman, I need to pog this morning

[@joe5joe7]

Love the chess content! But it would be fun to see the analysis of lost games too, just to see how you could have turned it around

[@rohanswan852]

it surprises me how many blunders he misses in the endgame, like he's deep in positional thought but they just blundered a fork and he doesn't notice

[@nickolasmatos3459]

So glad NL is enjoying chess. Would love to see 10 min games. But I will take what I can get. Keep the chess content coming pls

[@PaulHobbs23]

3 min games get funnier and clownier, but 10m gives more time for him to calculate and not blunder so that’s nice too

[@MrFedes94]

Always excited with i see Northernlion picking up that knight!

[@DaviniaHill]

17:00 London with queenside caste against Kingside is how I like to play the London because it allows me to sac everything to destroy the kingside while keeping my king safe.

[@dingusrevolver]

Chess videos are always pogged. Always hilarious

[@buzzkill131]

My man rules the 64 squares

[@MetaLemonaide]

NL pls do the game review for those close games. As a viewer, I think it would be very interesting and maybe it will help you in future games.

[@stephenkeller2053]

You could probably just play against a computer while you set your screen region

[@Kikuraichi]

Following up every move with "oops I shouldn't have done that." probably isn't the best game plan. but I'm not a grandmaster so what do I know.

[@peterswift6116]

The more Ryan reminds us "Im not here to play well im here to have fun", the more and more it sounds like Copium

[@JimmyLundberg]

Honestly disagree, it's making me wanna play chess again. I quit when I realized I wouldn't be able to improve as much as I wanted to, but his attitude is making me rethink that decision.

[@butdutwut]

Gotta get that endgame pre move speed up

[@adrad]

4:38 Rh4 just wins that bishop lul

[@CraigMcMiller]

Yeah, I fucked up there haha

[@politejellydragon8990]

I absolutely love the chess content NL

[@monthertheokguy7311]

I understand its very frustrating and kind of embarrassing to see yourself slip a win. but in all honesty your gameplay was genius you simply need to withstand the shame of going in analysis and learning the mistakes you made that caused you not to secure the game. Its tricky but crucial plays these end games of yours

[@orpheos9]

11:34 got him with the max grime

[@Saltbino]

Chess time!! Baby!

[@t1n063]

SuperGM NL back at it again

[@ChileanIggy]

You know it's going to be a good day when it starts with some chess in the morn'

[@tyusbro8063]

More chess? Absolutely pogg

[@BikoFactory]

Sad to see that 3rd game slip away like that but that happens to everybody! The chess content is really good!!

[@notyourdad]

Many people are saying that this is the best content on KZbin - many people.

[@fazer_6]

Started playing again bc of this. Thank you for getting me back into chess. Started new profile at a 200 yesterday, and now I'm a 600. 8 points per game takes you far lol. I used to be a 1300 like you are currently

[@CraigMcMiller]

I was your first opponent :D Good Game

[@Clauds_]

you're so good dude

[@CraigMcMiller]

@@Clauds_ Thank you :D

[@carlb1874]

Loving the chess vids

[@paulanthony312]

I wish I loved anything as much as Tomo loves the cords

[@calenono1512]

Man I love the cat & cords saga

[@shcottam]

Hey nl. Love the chess videos. Hope you enjoy them as much as we do. Cheers!

[@GDAlkali]

chess time lets GO

[@LennonMarx420]

NL, you should learn the Grand Prix Attack against the Sicilian. You already play a closed Sicilian, this would at least give you some theory to work off of, and it leads to some cool tactical positions which you seem to be good in.

[@atlasstoned]

“throw out an obscenely bad move while they’re almost out of time” - sorry, I meant to click on the new NorthernLion video. Why is Magnus Carlsen bald now?

[@lunarshining7964]

Another great chess video, king

[@gwydionml6479]

Ahh, it’s always refreshing to see two 800 players battling it out in the marketplace of ideas

[@drdoublec7642]

If by some miracle he will watch a review I will pog out of my mind

[@JanembaFreak]

This man is trading down his queen while behind on material

[@Doomclown]

What a sac on this guy. Rock and roll more like Rook and ROFL. Does that make sense I'm posting on 1+0 time control.

[@tripodman322]

Chess playlist mr lion

[@bernardshaw7405]

Great video!

[@R1ddle]

Love chess

[@PaulHobbs23]

Ok that rook sac was actually so smart. NL endgames are getting spicy these days

[@pauloneill2184]

I love chess

[@DukeChameleon]

My goal is not to be a best chess player MY MAIN GOAL IS TO BLOW AND ACT LIKE I KNOW NOBODY HAWHAWHAW

[@MindGobby]

Chess poggin

[@eed0018]

Here hoping NL gets to play the closed sicilian a bit more often, he is learning on the go but honestly, still did Ok considering he was winging it

[@Aether_GM]

Toxic take but I actually like when cats get in the cords and NL has to scold them a little bit

[@alfredoprato1209]

Hey NL. Did you know that a rook is a bird that is closely associated with crows? PeepoTalk

[@hammdogporkington3058]

Pawn pushing P

[@seriouslee4119]

Does it happen for anyone else where every couple of seconds the video slows down relative to the audio and then it snaps back into sync with the audio so you lose some of the video?

[@thecoalbaker8478]

good vid

[@bradnaugle1025]

Chess chess chess

[@DudokX]

dont worry nobody knows how to play Sicilian properly on this level

[@JakobS92]

i love NL chess

[@disman32]

Love it

[@Gabu_]

16:10 HOW?!? NL literally only had to push a pawn... Edit: it's still pogged, though.

[@ericwilliams1832]

Than black pawn will push and the king cant catch up to it. taking is forced

[@Gabu_]

@@ericwilliams1832 I don't mean the last pawn, but rather any other time during the endgame, e.g. push h4 to make way for the bishop, then book it if the opponent doesn't advance their own pawn or take the f2 square away with the bishop otherwise. The position is a +6 according to Stockfish.

[@Leelareso]

question? Why its called rook not tower? In poland we use call tower.

[@explorerguy]

question? Why its called tower not chariot? In India we use call chariot

[@garblechunk]

Is it just me or is NL getting better at chess? Was taking away the drive to improve the secret to improving the whole time?

[@Gabu_]

I don't mean to be rude, but he played much better one year ago

[@explorerguy]

He's getting better at playing fast. Maybe he's getting back to where he was before he got rusty

[@modernape9878]

The chess videos are getting shorter as is my will to live

[@PaulHobbs23]

[@ValsNemesis]

NL chess content yay

[@kaynovamusic]

[@kadirbeneathmomoteh854]

is the sound a little weird in this or are my speakers dying?

I am here for the algorithm

[@xiricada7121]

Love me some NL chess

[@shqiperiaetnike3138]

Engagement squad reporting in! (Day 745 of waiting for longer time formats)

[@SnakeEyeJJ]

15:56 dude literally talks about how its a lost endgame when it is in fact a won end game with a basic endgame principle of the square - the passed pawn gets away in time for the king who greedily gobbled up the bishop. NL threw that game and if my channel points were on the line I would call foul play to the betting association.

[@matthewapple9546]

H5 KG5 pawn can't get away no matter what

[@PaulHobbs23]

Overly confident incorrect comments and chess, a classic combo

[@explorerguy]

It doesn't get away. It's a 2 move eval and you failed to do it
