Twitch chat be like "hmm I would have blundered that differently"

[@GKinWor]

omg he does

[@juliusgreen9179]

So true

[@idanbracha]

[@robinvik1]

NL: "It's called danger levels" NL: "It's still called danger levels" NL: *"AAAAAHHHH!"*

[@Gabu_]

It's literally always the same blunder.

[@DeepakKumar87]

followed by "I resign" 🥚😀

[@OmegaReactor]

The danger levels in this episode were off the chart

[@HoarselyCry]

Man I’m gonna miss this series when NL gets bored of chess again but I’m loving how much he’s enjoying it right now.

[@Szanth]

This is a casino I wish I could've gotten in on

[@okso48299]

It's been two weeks since he's posted chess :(

[@HoarselyCry]

@@okso48299 so long my love.

6:57 "Life comes at you fast" followed by resignation is hilarious

[@GyroZeppeliUwU]

The upgrade this channel got going from fall guys to chess, cult of the lamb and geoguessr is infinitely good. I'm pogged up

[@funkdungus839]

counterpoint fall guys is ideal content for me specifically to listen to at my job

Idk why but I'm only interested in chess when NL plays chess

[@lastblinder9765]

I could watch NL stare at a wall for 2 hours and be interested

[@SequenceBreaker64]

He's just good enough to pog, and just bad enough to feel actual pain on some moves. Makes for good content

[@456dave7]

Because he is neither a super grand master nor a complete noob. I started watching his videos because it felt I could improve to be at his level in a reasonable amount of time.

17:11 "Your knight is trapped." Surely he will play h4. He realizes it is trapped. Oh... Oh god why.

[@pablourosa1443]

He just prefers not to take a knight

[@monthertheokguy7311]

you guys act like its an easy move to find. under time pressure its kinda hard to spot

[@FS4SS]

@@monthertheokguy7311 it's more that the hardest part of finding the move is identifying the knight as trapped. Which he did.

[@monthertheokguy7311]

@@FS4SS hilarious honestly

[@bernardshaw7405]

If you don't catch me commenting and dropping a like on every NL chess video then something has happened to me

[@cryptooooooooo]

NL and Andrea chess? This is insanely pogged

[@notyourdad]

NL: Your knight is trapped. Also NL: Proceeds not to attack it with the pawn.

[@citizensoldier314]

To be fair he tried to but miss clicked

[@Ryan-ic1wj]

NL being the nicest, least competitive guy and then randomly going into trash talker mode is my favorite

[@Gelfling66]

I swear, every chance NL has to push h2 g4 to run a bishop out, he does, every time he is against an opponent that has the opportunity to do it, he's like "you wouldn't do that, its bad" lmao

[@Anguished2]

yes doc i don't need any meds just inject nl's chess videos straight into my veins

[@stinkusthemouse]

16:05 the egg is seen engaging in psy ops, an outstanding move

Bro let's go he's finally back to chess

[@user-ed9qc4fp5b]

16:44 Hung his bishop to the knight then thought he won a free queen. Truely the best to ever do it.

[@clippedbits]

3 minute time control with casino is pogicity, wish I had been there!

[@SirDenwoLOL]

man I've been loving the chess, sap, and fall guys so much.. would be great to see clubhouse games or switch sports again. so pog it's wild

[@Luke-pg9pk]

That first game was so unique and fun to watch

35:20 oof horrible blunder. The promotion was unstoppable with best line for black being 1. h7 Kxf6 2. h8=Q+ and black is soon to lose.

[@garrettmarshall7664]

Lol I was just rewatching yesterday's chess this is awesome

[@HoarselyCry]

Based. I was watching his GoW walkthrough while playing through the game but that can wait, I have an hour long chess video to pog to.

[@titaniawallace4223]

I'M GONNA MOVE HERE. I'M GONNA MOVE HERE

[@konstanty8094]

13:00 the leagues mean very little, there is no punishment for losing games. Getting into higher leagues is abour farming points for wins and draws. If you win 40 games and lose 60, you're doing better, than somebody who won 30 and lost 10.

[@DecimusTheThinker]

Some really entertaining games!

[@colinpaton3304]

That first game was incredible, he really pushed that damn D pawn huh

[@johnnymetonymic]

I never know if I'm better or worse than him. He does all kinds of stuff that I don't understand and most of the time, the way I was thinking would have been better. But I don't know if he's just playing 4 steps ahead and I'm stuck in the present.

[@Elijah-ed5xk]

A good way of knowing is ELO ;)

[@johnnymetonymic]

@@Elijah-ed5xk well mine is 0 bcause I don't play. I just watch him. Dunning Kruger probably.

[@indygon]

@@johnnymetonymic If you don't play chess, the most likely scenario is that he's thinking further ahead than you :D You should try playing! But trying to figure out why his moves make sense (or don't make sense) is also good practice. I find myself pausing and pondering why he didn't make my "obvious" move, and often realize it's because my obvious move has an obvious response from the opponent that would blow it out. "Obvious" is relative to your Elo rating, basically -- grandmasters see a weird pawn move as obvious because they can play it through mentally and see that it wins them the endgame, whereas taking a free queen isn't always obvious to someone who just learned the rules.

Commenting for more chesss

[@Trevor21230]

27:40 why wouldn't you just take with the bishop? Then they can't take it without trading their rook for it. If they don't you're up a pawn, if they do you're up a rook for a bishop. Instead you took with the rook and let them just trade rooks.

[@mitjajop1868]

After the bishop takes the rook it is soft pinned by blacks rook. Maybe this is whst NL considered

[@maxkho00]

41:43 The funny thing is that NL was totally outplaying that guy right until he straight-up hung a knight in one move. If anything, he demonstrated poor understanding by making his light squares very weak around his king, exposing himself to a big attack. He definitely wasn't underrated lol. NL just needs to learn to stop blundering pieces.

I don't know what NL has against increment but he needs the extra time to be entertaining and seeing 50% of the games end in premoves is not fun. Please try playing real chess at least once.
