"At some point in chess you gotta let the pawn structure speak for itself" brilliant
the egg is cheating
He do be having the superior pawn structure tho
LOL
@@lorenzojj0103 Easy there Hikaru ;)
NL consistently playing the Ruy Lopez without knowing any theory is peak egg
*peal egg
I played chess (poorly) for 8 years. I have no idea what that means or why I agree, but here's an upvote anyway.
The Ruy Lopez is one of the first openings you learn for White as a beginner. Beginner lessons focus on controlling the center, developing early, and protecting your pieces, so Ruy Lopez and Italian are probably the only two that a beginner will see for a while.
@@jackborkowski5580 you're right about the Italian, but the Ruy Lopez is probably the most theoretical opening in chess. It may be playable at beginner level because neither player will know theory, but at intermediate level opponents will know good lines and it's tough to make it out of the opening without theory. Most people don't recommend the Ruy Lopez until studying and reaching a certain level. It's definitely not a good opening to choose without any knowledge of theory
Why, was Ruy Lopez bald or some shit? 🤔
I love the confidence. With 4 backward pawns and control of neither open file: "I have a superior pawn structure right now!"
This is great content, would really hit the spot if we got an occasional 10 min game though
*tears streaming down my face, choking back sobs* we gotta make the SAP weeklies confusing more often
Copious amounts of pog straight into my bloodstream
Bb4 at 14:18 would have been the Irish whip into poison sumo clap of chess
I wanted it so bad
Agreed
If that is ugly, then mine needs plastic surgery
Great comment

The chess may be ugly but that head is looking shined and polished my guy, keep it up!!
18:08 call me crazy but that's just a free knight on d4. In the man's defense he was monologging though.
@Victor L No because then you fork the king and the rook if they do that
sometimes he sees 'em, sometimes he doesn't, isn't it weird? 🙂
@@zant1566 Yeah but forks are resin. The only real way to play chess is to get an impenetrable pawn structure and then timeout your opponent by moving pieces back and forth.
Canadian secret service needs to put this man's brain to work.
With a title like that, I'm guessing this guy has never watched NL's chess series.

Don't torch the egg man like that 😭
Loving the chess content as ever! Miss the analysis tho!
This was a great day of chess.
This video takes me back to the titular moment of Rain Man when Raymond is telling Tom Cruise about his superior pawn structure.
Ahh yes, the Nimzowitsch Defence: Kennedy, de Smet Gambit
Hilarious content as ever, love hearing your comments during the game. Makes me laugh everytime!
anyone else just pogging at the content lately? Chess, rumbleverse, sap, sporcle - I mean what else can you wish for man
Bb4 would have been a really great pin on the knight
A perfectly cromulant move.
Bravo 👏👏👏
Thankyou so much for uploading chess again🥺
lol the part where you said "that was a well played game" was hilarious
Is this guy bald?
Yeah, I've noticed that too lately.
nah ur clowning
people do say that
You might be on to something
Wait, he's BALD??!
This man really said cromulent.
That "aw" at 6:27 was cute
14:10 I yelled PIN THE KNIGHT. Thank god no one watches me play chess.
9:45 Someone should really tell Northernlion that putting all his pawns to light squares while his opponent only has a dark bishop is not "making the bishop stronger". It's making the bishop useless by making it has no targets. That endgame is a easily holdable if he puts all his pawns to light squares and block the king from infiltrating.
NL didn't have to go so hard at 5:50
The 14:10 knight pin would have been so spicy
10 Things Grandmasters Don't Want You To Know About the Ruy Lopez Opening
The pawn structure speaks for itself, indeed
NL, the Anti-Fried-Liver is hot garbage. It's called that because you're trying to prevent the Fried Liver at all costs, surrendering development and centre control in the process. If you really are afraid of the Fried Liver, learn the main line. It's five moves. The attack falls apart, you lose a pawn, but your pieces are much better. Being scared of an opening can lead you to accepting a worse one. Still good content though, good luck.
That last game was agonizing to watch
whenever I hear "zugzwang" it takes me an eternity to actually recognize what the word is xD
This is a win for me I want more chess
Hans Eggman
I See you, I See you. 😉☝🏼
14:16 Would Bb4 have been a good move? Pinning their knight so the threat to take the bishop with checkmate stands
yes
Does it matter at my elo? The ultimate question
Analyze the losses!
Loving the chess content!
the JIIIIM line had me chuckling
We love chess
14:45 Thats one of the luckiest chess I've ever seen
The chess speaks for itself
More chess than usual? I POG.
Now it was pretty pog games.
This is a perfectly cromulent video
throwing up I'm so excited
Hey NL do you shoeshine your head? (Respectfully)
Bro you need a refresher course from levy 😂😜
3:22 I'm pretty sure that guy shouldve went knight e4
22:14 lmao
0:58 the use of the word cromulent really embiggened my opinion of the egg
BOI
Bishops opening :D
pogged content!
yesssss love the chess !!!
NL mates with a queen like it's a rook mate lol.
Chess time 😎
I don't know how many times I've seen that bishop take that knight on the edge the board, he does the AAAAAAAA and then doesn't take the bishop... I mean I'm not that good a chess player, why not just take?
bb4 was nice during game 3
Chess Baldy 🤣
The algorithm is taunting me
Guy at the end is a nerd
NL why are you complaining making draws? That's what gms do all the time :P
hello chess gamers can i get a tldr on what fried liver is? ty ty
It's an opening, it goes:
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Nf6 4.Ng5 d5 5.exd5 Nxd5 6.Nxf7 Kxf7
The idea is that you attack a weak pawn in front of the enemy king with the knight and bishop at the same time so you can safely take with the knight and target the undefended rook.
love the chess but please do analasis at least when you win
why is this guy mating with a queen like it’s a rook
Because why not? The best forced mate is the one you find
@@Gabu_ The ideal technique is following the king with the Queen from a knight’s length. Until the king gets to the corner where you stop and premove king to 2 squares on diagonal from corner (e.g. on c6 if enemy king on a8) and once that is done you bring Queen one square on diagonal from corner (e.g. on b7 if enemy king on a8). Once the king is in the corner, the second part of the sequence mentioned here should all be premoved. May be a lot of words, but most efficient once you practice.
I think he does it for practice, I'm sure he knows the knight opposition to corner their king to mate with queen and king and honestly it doesn't matter as long as you don't timeout. Honestly it's instructive in case some people don't know how to do it with rook and king.
@@faznaz7455 first, I know the common mates. Second, there's literally no difference, it's a forced mate.
@@Gabu_ I just said it was more efficient, it just needs a few seconds and the rest is just premoving.
12:23
i love NL chess
This is some good content. Sap is good too
NL, PLEASE play more 10 minute games. The 3 minute ones can be fun every once in a while, but this is getting ridiculous
10 minute is boring
Jooo early vid
10:30 why not take the pawn?
You can take the pawn but it's still 0.0
bro i feel like you aren’t made for 3 minute chess
+2
NL is simply built different, like his pawn structure
kinda toxic taking people's queens today :/
Here early
Bro, you gotta customize your chess board/pieces
