remember that if you get 3 knights it upgrades your knight to lvl 2

[@floweytheflower8777]

Yeah if you combine them

[@biandbased5564]

But if you don’t combine you can have functionally a level three knight but you have to sacrifice three slots on your squad

Hey NL, use could use the button "show line" bellow the move in the analysis to see the line after the move (usually 5-10 moves ahead). Very often it helps me to understand the idea behind the move being either a mistake or best and why there is a 2 points difference, like that bishop move at 10:04.

[@TGT-90]

Say the line Bart! NL: “I’m not doing review on that one, that was disastrous” It’s good to know some things don’t change :’) Also please don’t stop playing. Love the chess content ❤️

There’s something really interesting about watching someone who is infinitely better than me at chess, but is still learning at a level that I can fully comprehend. Y’know? I watch Levi sometimes and his learning goes over my head.

[@chrisdobson2730]

33:50 Pawns can capture diagonally yes, but that pawn was overloaded, it was solely guarding both the bishop and the rook. Take it with your rook, and when it takes you, your king is free to take the opponents rook. Wins you a bishop.

[@dingaling-e3z]

How does one take a rook if there is nothing attacking it on g8. Unless you mean take the bishop when the rook was on g4, but then the pawn doesn't have to take, the rook can take it. Am I missing something?

[@chrisdobson2730]

@@dingaling-e3z Pause the video at 33:40 for the position I'm talking about. I tagged it at 33:50 because NL was being snarky there to a viewer who was correct lol. At 33:40 NL can take the bishop on e4 because the pawn "guarding it" is overloaded and can not take back on e4 because it is also guarding the black rook on g4. So if it takes NL's rook on e4 NL can capture blacks rook on g4 with his king.

[@utm0st]

Rxe4 Rxe4 Black will take with the rook instead of with the pawn

[@chrisdobson2730]

@@utm0st No I'm talking about the mistake NL made moving his bishop to d6, BEFORE NL makes his move of bishop to d6 the Black rook can't take on e4 because NL's bishop would have been in the way if he played it correctly.

This video is old and I've probably even watched it before, BUT I'm still dying at NL thinking he got a sick discovered check double attack on the rook at 32:14. Opponent just blundered and could have just taken NL's queen with the rook that was threatened

[@BikoFactory]

Am I crazy or 32:15 (Nh6) is actually kind of a terrible move? Like couldn't black just take White's queen with the rook?

[@JerryGarcia__]

I’ve been stressing over this for like 5 minutes now. Either way the rooks gone but unless I’m absolutely blind and retarded he should be able to take on g4 with the room.

[@bryndynirving7333]

@oBtuse He can't take with the queen because the knight jumps to H1 and forks the king and queen. King takes is really the best move so you don't lose a rook for no reason

32:12 couldn't black take NL's queen at the cost of a rook?

I just had an opponent lose 10 points of material by the time I lost more than a bishop... Then blundered my queen, almost got mated, had my opponent blunder their queen and managed to win before losing on time.

Hanging his queen while similarly making fun of his opponent's move. Would think that this tactic was the reason his opponent moved Rg8 in the first place, so he would force the queen to move. But hey, I've done similar blunders myself.
