I'm playing on Chess.com -- these aren't sponsored videos but the site seems pretty cool.
Chess has been having a resurgence in popularity this year so I have finally acquiesced to semi-popular demand and started to play a bit. First, let's hone our skills and get a little more warmed up and then let's conquer chess dot com one board gamer at a time.

About this game:
the horse moves like an L - Hry
The queen: has 2 squeres, 1 atacked by enemy pieces , 1 safe , guy chooses safe , engine : BRILLIANT
A5 was unsafe too because of Nc4 bc Ha5
So it's brilliant because that queen move hangs your queen to Knight check discovery, but even further past that it's winning for white
Since you didn't see that the move should lose your queen, and your opponent didn't see he wins the queen either, I'm not sure this counts haha, gg on the win
@@AquaticSkipper its like trapping the enemy queen behind the guise of blundering your own queen
its brilliant beacause ur queen is trapped, and a logical move would be to trade the trapped queen for some minor pices
@@RedzeeTV “OH NO MY QUEEN”
My only brilliant move I had was when I was losing so astronomically bad but moved my queen where it forced a repeat draw The game was like "brilliant he didn't lose."
I had a similar situation. The game didn't give me a brilliant, but I turned a losing situation into a draw, then the opponent tried to get cheeky to get out of it and got checkmated.
My only brilliant move was my king escaping a check, in a game in which I later resigned from a completely winning position because I incorrectly thought I was getting mated
@@keycapslapper7080 been there, i thought i lost my knight with a queen check so i resigned but i could have just blocked with my knight
@@UnsBeams Why Levy says DONT RESIGN
I got a brilliant move today and I guess I didn't realize how rare that is. I'm not even 1200 in rapid on a consistent basis and I don't run the analysis on very many games but I was quite surprised to see the blue!
(It was just using a pin to get a bishop and I of course lost all advantage by making a mistake on the next move. But hey, I won in the end!)
if I ever get a brilliant move I won't even figure out why
I got one as a 900, I still don't know why it's even the correct play :(
i saw vid of a kid capturing a bishop with a pawn and it gave him a brilliant move. idk if it works as intended tbh
getting a brilliant move is usually just luck, its a move thats better than the engine thought it was
got a brilliant for moving a pon in end game, like bro I didn't think their were any other moves
I got one for what would look like the most obvious move for anyone
NL: doesn't hang the queen
Engine: HOLY SHIT THATS BRILLIANT
I mean, it is probably is just by comparison with other players
That isn't what happened, NL hung the queen the move before the brilliant move. If his opponent saw it, NL's queen was dead no matter what. The sensible move afterwards is taking the pawn with discovered check, losing his queen for the opponent's knight, bishop, and initiative in return. The reason NL's move was a brilliant move is because it sacs the queen and requires a very specific set of difficult to find moves, including 2 sacrifices, to make it not wasted. Opponent didn't see the queen was hanging so we didn't see it play out, but no chance NL would have seen the 6-8 move follow up with 2 sacrifices (he even is surprised by the suggestion in the analysis), so it would be a bad move because he would have lost the queen for little in return if the opponent saw Nc4.
@@zesst8417 actually to enjoy NL videos u must have a very high iq and without a solid grasp of quantum physics most of his joke would just get over your head....
I think it just recognizes every move sucks except 1. And that move isnt a capture
He did hang the queen btw. Had his opponent played knight to c4 check you win the queen on the following move
His forehead expanded by a mile when he saw he made the brilliant move
He's a Canadian it's kilometres up here eh
It shone brighter than ever before
@@Blingdung oh yeah you're right, it expanded by 1,609 kilometer
@@meneertje25 1.609 KM.
A decimal point, not a comma. But nice.
@@paolenthangsingson4562 depends, I believe Spain uses them the other way around
NL: I'll move my threatened Queen to the only place where she can't be taken immediately.
Engine: That's brilliant!!
😂
Thats really brilliant technically but you must also see the follow up. He was losing his queen anyway so seeing that insted of giving queen on a4 give it on a5 except he played as he didnt see any other move but the follow up is what considered brilliant and this is starting of that follow up
Did you even watch the video? The queen was gonna get captured immideately in every position, NL chose the only one that could potentially win the queen back.
@@rayan-xg5kw that’s what he’s saying. It was the only move so it’s ironic
NL's first brilliant move, that's rojo caliente
For those who don't know brilliant moves are moves the computer glosses over, thinks are bad but when you play them. its forced to go to further analysis and sees that its good. What im saying is 90 percent of the brilliant moves are not that good because most people don't see the line that the computer does
U seriously misunderstand computers ans computers analisys.
U Can find really good videos on the subject that ll proove u wrong !
@@bobskinny361 that is completely wrong. The computer does not miss moves that simple. Its eval function would probably call that the best move at a depth of 3, much less 20. It has to do with the relative eval of the best and second best move, basically, if you dont play X move, your position evaluates drastically lower than if you did. And maybe they have some additional algorithm which attempts to determine how "difficult to spot" a move is, which is obviously not working as intended lol.
The reason why Levy is not GM already; too much hair dude!!
he's not checkodynamic enough
the hair obstructs the brainwaves from the chess gods
Wait so Levy isn't a GM? For some reason I thought he got it recently

8:20 for the brilliant move.
14:48 for analysis.
Thanks man. I appreciate your service.
@Move_I_Got_This It's AI, I've seen taking a free piece listed as brilliant before
@Move_I_Got_This NOT very pog I am sorry
question, when he says he's hoping it's the "bong cloud" move, what the heck is he referring to?
@@alex_demote he moved his king up at some point in this game rather than castling
"I really dont like what I've done with the place" hahahah
I remember my first brilliant move. I misclicked.
lol
Are you serius ? 😶😨😨
hahaha
My first brilliant move was when I was dreaming
That shock at 14:01
The tentative look at 14:03
Followed by the sheer delight of 14:08
Such a wholesome rollercoaster of emotion in such a small time
if only it was the cloud though...I could have been in CZcams rewind....
I dont understand, i am 700 elo, got back to chess recently and got a brilliant move as well, are those really rare?
@Orxan Mammadov its considered a brillant moove sometimes if you only have one legal moove and you do it
@@LazyGameplay No, it's because you "found" a line the computer didnt see. In reality (most cases) you didnt see it though, you just stumbled upon it.
A brilliant move is an instant click from me. I cannot wait
@@samrangdale8971 I think the word you was looking for was.... pog?
It was the only good move
@@elijahagustino3605 but who made the previous moves leading up to that moment?? 🥚
it was an absolute mastermind, 17 move build up that not even magnus could see coming. he calculated that from the very start
@@elijahagustino3605 Only if you didn't see it lost you your queen. When he played it I thought for sure that he blundered and should have taken the knight in a desperado sacrifice, as the queen was trapped. The point of the brilliancy is that at a low enough depth, it's actually not the best move.
@@antoniosoares9273 my thoughts exactly. shows you how complicated the game is imo
1:32 This is what I call a symetrical position!

@@couldntcareless7884 Yeah you cant actually type a question mark thats only up side down
Confirmed by IM GothemChess to be the ONLY MOVE a genius at chess would make! Blessed be the egg he has ascended.
I fricken love this series. LOL'd hard at "Luckily, he moved into the mate."
The fact he thought it was going to be a queen trap after he lost his queen but in reality if that line that he showed was played he (opponent) didn't have to take the pawn and trap his queen
Qd8 is still winning for him(+0.9 per stockfish) and seeing how much opponent loved to leave his pieces under attack, black would definitely capture the pawn instead of moving back.
@@etopowertwon I doubt it. Players at that level are usually able to see straightforward traps like that. Even the thought of capturing the pawn surrounded by enemy pieces deep inside the opponent's territory in a closed game should be uncomfortable for them.
I agree. It would be interesting to see what the engine actually found because I don't think it was the queen trap
@@frederickschulze8014 It's just 3 active pieces for the queen, which is good for White as Black's entire kingside is passive and the king is not castled.
@@maxkho00 you are wrong. If you follow the line then you always either win the queen or checkmate them
Every move you make is brilliant Mr. Egg
NL plays Binding of Isaac Episode 1 is a CZcams brilliancy.
This is why you are banned from Pogchamps.
"Bitter charisma" is a perfect description for what you have. Never change, NL.
Everyone is making fun of the engine for calling it a brilliant move, but if you follow the different lines that can happen you always end up either winning their queen back or checkmating them
Congrats on the first brilliant move!
His brain size tripled by pure power of POG
I had my first brilliant move the other day.... i blundered on the next move though 😂😂
Duality of man right there
well brilliant moves usually require you to play out a specific line 3-5 moves down and if you dont then you usually lose on the spot since the position was so volatile. you have to play it perfectly.
i did the exact same thing, ive only gotten 1 brilliant move ever and it was when i was rated 570 lmao
Prolly means you did it on accident
Nope I meant to do it I just was surprised that it was a brilliant move
I swear the engine gives out brilliant moves to the most random moves. I moved my king once to attack a pawn in an endgame and it considerd it brilliant. Anyways, congratulations
Its probably cuz the move made ur king out of the game But the computer realised ur king can come back easily
@@mightycannon1512 This isnt how the engine considers briliant moves. The engine says a move is brilliant if every other move makes you lose or diminish your points a lot and you makes the only one fine. So, on this video you see, if he makes any move that isnt moving the Queen, he loses on spot, so that's why moving the Queen is "brilliant", the move maintains he on the game. Probably on the other guy game, the King moving was the only move that didnt lose. Of course, it's not how we humans use the word "brilliant", but for an AI of chess, you found the only one possibility that's so above the others, maybe you're a great player!
@@eulermachado3968 that's not a brilliant move that can just be best move in the position. Brilliant move happens when the engine dropped the analysis on the move known as pruning because it was losing to it and only after the move was made the engine realizes it was better than what It was recommending.
I think it has something to do with a move that sets you up in a winning position or is very good but it isn’t obvious why. Like I’ve seen one where you coulda taken and won material but by not taking and instead doing something else first, you can win significantly more material in the future
@@freemanmoser2829 basically brilliant moves are mistakes by the engine which were execellent after you played the move so Yeaits Kinda like you found it before comp could od
4:22 My new alarm sound on loop
And 13:19 is my text tone
NL I haven't watched you since like middle school, but being back and it feels like home. Missed your sense of humor and endless ramblings :)
I got a brilliant move on my first ever game of chess, when i was playing against 600 elo bot. Probably the definition of beginners luck considering that game was a draw :D
Im convinced that the brilliant calculator is broken. We've seen NL make FAR more impressive moves than freakin' Queen A5.
I always knew this guy was brilliant
I cant wait for this analysis of the move !!
Correct me if wrong but a brilliant move is a move that the engine discarded with the depth it read initially but after you play it it reads deeper and agrees its best.
@@ethanstrudwick5284 No thats not it.The engine is not impressed if you find a obvious move,even if its the only valid one.
It should have been a blunder.
Black Knight C4 check, pawn captures, black queen takes white queen, white resigns.
4:22 I'd like to think me screaming "Knight c2!" at the screen helped make this happen.
I’m 1100ish rated and I’ve had 3 brilliants in my career which I feel is likely high, but I’ve never even been close to understanding the line they thought I was thinking when they awarded me
The weakest brilliant move but a brilliant move none the less. The egg has ascended to chess godhood.
So I was playing bullet chess and then I analysed it and found out that one of my random moves turned out to be a brilliant one lol
love this guy. "Given the choice, everybody takes the bong cloud." - Northernlion 2021
30:07 the salt 😂 NL murdering chat is what I love about the new format 🤣
I love the analysis at the end of each game
I got my first brilliant move last week. The next move was a blunder and I lost. I couldn't play chess for 3 days...
I was waiting for a chess video, thank you sir I appreciate it
The only thing I find more entertaining than Northernlion is when Northernlion tickles himself pink.
That first game was actually pretty tense. I also breathed a sigh of relief lol
You got me to watch Levvy's stuff and I love it he is easy to watch and funny.
"Bong cloud strats" - randomly using terms, the pog era
Heeeee can't keep getting away with it.
Also the seratonin hit he musta felt seeing that blue (!!)
"You moved your queen to the ONLY safe square?!
BRILLIANT!!"
🤣
All in the same sentence: "And then they did this which I think is wrong nevermind".
8:23
If he had forked you there with the knight, you lose your queen. It was a discovered attack from black queen + a fork
Everyone's talking about the brilliant move but not about the funny little noise NL makes at 19:43
Don't know why he doesn't just follow the line that the analysis literally gives him to show him how it's supposed to work out... Just fiddles around a bit, (doesn't come close) and then moves on with his day lol...
i’m case anyone confused,
a move is “brilliant” if the player plays the best move, but the engine doesn’t realize why it is the best move until it analyzes a winning move sequence after the move is played. this may mean that you played a move that genuinely was outside of the box, or the computer just didn’t see a certain winning move sequence until after the move was played.
it is wiser to listen to chess experts on whether a move is “brilliant” or not in cases like this, and not the computer. because a queen sacrifice mate in 13 is brillant, but to the computer it’s just the best move.
"You gotta think 75 loves ahead for that". I loled. I've been waitin' for a decade for that symbol! Guess the epic queen sacrifice does it.
There's that huff again when he's proud of himself. Always fantastic.
Yooooo I need a bigger gourd! NL has been slapping some incredible content recently I just can't hack it, what a hot spicy tamales!
holy shit this did not click at all that its northern lion until I looked at the channel. good to see him again. was wondering why this chess vid was so entertaining
I love how the only way to not Lose your queen gave you the brilliant icon haha
not as brilliant as a subscriber stream of dark messiah of might and magic would be
He would get lost.
@@DoctorShroom but he would have so much fun kickin shit
I get so stoked when you steal the pieces with the horse
Poggy! Loving it mr. lion please keep the pogs coming
8:20 Although it is the best move, Nc4 looks like it still wins the queen. Your opponent blundered by taking the pawn.
Then c4 would’ve been taken by the pawn, right?
@@gustavoricci1619 Yes but Nc4 opens the diagonal between black's queen and white's queen. So after the knight gets taken, Qxa5 follows.
Black would've had their own queen trapped if they played that move
@@patstaysuckafreeboss8006 Nc4 is check, discovering an attack on the white queen by the black queen. After white takes the knight, black queen takes queen, and I am not able to see a way for white to trap the black queen on a5.
@@Buster_Scruggs Analyze the game. It's winning for white after Nc4+. Black queen getting trapped is unavoidable
The egg has become the chicken. Congrats on the brilliant move my dude
Hey man, first time here. I have to say I instantly subscribed when I witnessed that brilliant move of yours, Qa5!!
That queen brilliant move was so beautiful, there was literally no way for black to come out of that without losing something unless he finds the one good move
Worst case scenario you lose a queen but you can capture all of the developed pieces on the white side which smooths it out a little
Chess keeps getting better and better! NL too pog for pogchamps.
Congratulations on the first brilliant move, and for continued chess pogacity.
Okay my favorite part about this video is in the first game when he’s puzzling out the knight move where he doesn’t realize he’s one move away from being forked by the knight taking his rook and his only defender is the queen but the knight is guarded by the bishop is that his next move after bishop takes bishop is to THREATEN TO DO THE EXACT SAME THING TO HIS OPPONENT LOL
I’m so glad he has 1500 elo jedi senses. If I didn’t see that play, I would have totally gone for it. I had a game yesterday where I literally said “I don’t see any way the opponent can punish this” right before blundering my rook LOL
The reason it is marked as a brilliant move is because the engine thought he purposefully blundered his queen into a position where it was trapped a few moves earlier to get into this line that the engine itself did not even consider, and not because the move itself is better than just giving it up to the knight.
Yooo, that was a spicy situation, but my dude just pulls out a brilliant move and dominates...
The engine says a move is brilliant if every other move makes you lose or diminish your points a lot and you makes the only one fine. So, on this video you see, if he makes any move that isnt moving the Queen, he loses on spot, so that's why moving the Queen is "brilliant", the move maintains he on the game.

Beautiful game by you man.
I can't believe he didn't see that fork at first
Your avg 1500 thinking in depth and enjoying the game of chess. I'm here for all of it!
The title should have been "Professional CZcamsr uses WINDOWS BUILT-IN SNIPPING TOOL!?!??"
This brilliant move is like finding a shiny Rattata.
Shiny gyarados*
Me: Oh now he can just win your queen with a discovered attack...
Also me: Yet to get a brilliant move
"You gotta think 75 moves ahead for that"
I lost it xD
There are a lot of lines and if Black plays the better ones, they end up ahead on material but the H8 rook is still stuck. I think if the Black Queen retreats, it hangs a Bishop, while the Queen trap line trades down lots of stuff. White still goes from way behind to even in the evaluation.
The actual response was that really bad pawn capture that threw the game.
I saw the title and _instantly_ clicked, what a pogged day.
congrats man!
Levy has the dark humor of a burned out high school teach also
That joker laugh at 1:01
Found this channel from Ross now I'm subbed... was a good day
Bro when I was at a 900 I was put in to check and I moved my king out of chess and it marked it as a brilliant move. It was a extremely obvious move
The engine thinks Brilliant moves are when you are trading Queens.
Checked some GM matches to see how frequently does an engine see a brilliant move in their games. The answer after 10 games is... never! :D
2 GMs, 25+5 time control, intense game for 88 moves, and engine is like "meh, yea you got 59 best moves, that's only 98% accuracy, who cares? Have you seen my boy Northernlion? He's absolutely brilliant with his queen!"
I like how by the 1:50 mark all the moves so far are mirrored
I just love how the queen move is both the most small brain and somehow also the most big brain move and he chose it for the wrong reason.
11:15 Dude take the god damn bishop what u doing son
Congrats !
Oi NL, at 11:06 you had Bc7 and then you win on spot with the mother of all pins.
(Queen can't capture because pinned.
Bishop can't capture because pinned.
Next move you capture his bishop on D8, followed by winning his rook, and the game :)
Edit: it's defendable. Engine recommends a similar idea with bg7, putting pressure on Black's dark squared bishop, if he advances the f pawn, you can even sac your bishop because there's a forced mate in 5 xD it's a great line.
Was this stream the first instance of +2/-2 in NL's chat?
1:00 you laugh exactly like Hank from breaking bad
Congrats on the first brilliant! Commenting to help feed the algorithm for you :*
got it twice , first was a rook move that forced a draw as i was about to get mated ,the second was the time i had just learn the greek gift and i managed to apply it in a match. The brilliant move was the bishop sacrifice to start the sequence
My brain with 1 brain cell doesn’t get why that is a brilliant move, I mean when I saw that move first, I thought it was a blunder, because if you move the knight to check the king, you are also threatening to take queen, and if you kill the knight, the white queen will be taken by the black queen. Can someone please explain to me why that was such a good move?
8:23
oh God
he could've forked
then you tale his knight
but then he takws your queen
Absolutely brilliant
1:09 a baldie being jealous lol
