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
Always good to see a new chess upload from Ryan "too good for pogchamps" Letourneau.
Me: Sees new NL video: “Hey, isn’t this the guy that’s too good for pogchamps?”
that's meeee
Whenever I think about exchanging pieces, I now say "dunka"
Still waiting for the self published chess-themed self-help book “Getting Weird: A Northenlion Story”
whenever I go "heey I would have done the same move as NL" NL is playing a terrible game - I can tell you that one for free
"Let's just play sound fundamental chess..."
*Proceeds not to develop pieces*
Another edition of Getting Weird, that’s a like.
Hey NL, I want to thank you for getting me back into chess. In return I wanted to share something with you that I came across in a recent game. I have been learning the Vienna Gambit, IM Levy Rozman's signature opening. There is one line where if your opponent is both dumb enough to blunder the knight and galaxy brained enough to find Qh4+ then the best response according to the computer is to bongcloud to e3. I don't know if Levy would approve but if stockfish wants you to Bongcloud then I feel like your obligated.
For your consideration
Vienna Gambit accepted, Bongcloud variation:
1. e4 e5 2. Nc3 Nf6 3. f4 exf4 4. e5 Nd5 5. Nxd5 Qh4+ 6. Ke2 f3+ 7. Ke3
stockfish is a tree smoker
@@Northernlion sometimes the worst move is actually the best move
I found this line in the analysis at some point as well, but forgot in what situation it was sound. Thanks for the pgn!
@@0HollowTubes0 lol I was definitely surprised when the analysis yelled at me for not doing the double Bongcloud!
Stockfish? More like Smonkweedfish
NorthernLion strategy:
1) sac a piece for an attack
2) trade all your attacking pieces
3) be in lost position
4) ???
5) pull out a miracle win somehow
lmao
5) Pull a second queen out of your sleeve to deliver a checkmate.
Yeah he sacs a piece for an “attack” and proceeds to never attack and constantly defends
5) profit!!!
watching chess with ennelle is addicting istg
@@Donna-kk5yo ennelle deez nuts
@@reksfilms8187 didn't have to do it to em
@@Donna-kk5yo ennelle = NL = Northernlion = the egg = the guy you just watched get insanely lucky in chess = the guy who is still deathly afraid of endermen even after murdering several in cold blood (maybe this is why he is so scared, he thinks they're all out to get him)
Phonetics NL is Blersed
Nice to see you still got some pog in you, champ
Me when I watch other NL content in the morning: stumbles while eating breakfast and coffee
Me when I watch NL play chess in the morning: elegantly sip my tea and clean my monocle, regularly muttering to myself "ah, yes, yes"
northern “lets get weird with it” lion
NL your videos are so entertaining and I particularly love this chess series. It's so nice when I've had a hard day to listen to you walking through the strategy of what you're doing, it helps me understand the game better
Love all your content NL. Hope you, Luna and Kate are happy and well.
You know pog levels are gonna be off the charts when you hear the ayy everybody
That last game was one of the most beautiful I've seen from you. Good job and you keep it entertaining :)
I love how NL will say "I will allow you to take my queen so that I can get an open file" proudly like he knows it's better for him, then will do the literal exact thing to the opponent, giving them the open file, while also maintaining this is the best possible outcome for himself lmao
Again.....Loving the 10 minute chess videos. Keep them coming!!!
NL you gotta watch like one CZcams video about the Cato Kahn and you’ll be golden
The Caro-Kann?
He played like 5 book moves, wasn't that good? I am a noo
@@AliKandirr That should pretty much be a given at this rating. If you’re playing the opening few moves off of problem solving and intuition instead of theory, you’re gonna struggle and create a time crunch for yourself.
Yeah and there’s also so much beauty in the full version of some of these openings
NL you should switch to 15 minute with 10 second increment. Increment makes all the difference
24:40, surprising DanG move from the knight. We'll see if he can pull it off
NL playing rapid is super informative, so fun to watch!
Loved this. Definitely deserved the win on both games, time is part of it. It's fun to watch because you're a lot better than me, but not GM-50-moves-puzzled-ahead-now-I'm-lost better than me. Hope you keep the series going!
I really enjoy these videos. I learn alot!
Yo what a combination of games. The chess continues to be absolutely hype city!
Always gotta throw a like to that fresh made-for-youtube content.
Some actual genius moments, always a nice treat
Time management is half the battle
Happy start to the work week!
New chess video. You already know the pogs are flowing
Ryan, im proud of you, my favourite 1520 mmr chess player that hasnt played dark messiah of might and magic
Awesome. Chess is really everywhere these days
That second endgame was sick!:)
Poggiest chess video in a while! :)
"Unless i'm missing something then"
End up missing something
This absolute madman only went and did it!
Does anyone know if GothamChess reacted to NorthernLion beating his bot?
Love this chess content
Absolutely love the chess videos.
Northern "interesting is enough for me to try something" Lion
Absolutely gritty
At 26:59 knight to d3 is still a fork were the knight is defended
Wow, intense games!
Here's an idea. You take turns making moves with Dan. Co op chess. You make one move, Dan makes the next. Watching Dan undo all your hard work and miss obvious tactics will be quite amusing I think!!!
Obviously you're not allowed to tell him what to play, or hint at it. Maybe not even being in the same call? Idk. Could be good that way or could be worse. You edit Dan's reaction to your moves in the video and visa versa!
33:14 Definitely don’t want to fall into any Night Traps.
You shouldnt be worried about trading lightsquare bishops in the Caro-Kann. Especially when your opponent lost some tempi with his knights.
Something about him I find so non chalantly hilarious haha
Chess is my favorite series NL has ever done
Thank you for clarifying this is chess in the title I had no idea
Sick games, egg.
love da chess content heck yeah
"You wanna get weird? Let's get weird." has surpassed "Oh, no, my queen!" for popularity in my house with me and my 12-yo chess-playing son. Thanks, NL!
Amazing
Y'all can't convince me that he doesn't sound more Canadian than before.....
27:44 My thoughts exactly. That move wasn't a big deal cause he probably just premoved the take, but so many people play 10 minute and are still at 9 minutes in the endgame
The other thing about saccing for 2 pieces os that the opponent can sac back at any time
if you learn just a little bit of theory in the openings you play you will stop taking a lot of time in the first 5-10 moves
would love to see a single video with a longer-form game ie 30 or 60 minutes
maybe not eeeevery video cause these 10 minute games are poggy as h*ck but a one-off would be sick
I like the pace you play at. I checked out GothamChess' channel and with his videos I have no idea what's going on at all, I feel like you need to be an experienced chess player to have any chance of following along. With your videos though that's not a problem, I understand what's happening and why.
Gotham makes a lot of videos specifically for beginners where he goes slower and explains more - I'd definitely recommend checking those out :)
@@Hsel-lc1wt I did check a couple, but I can't really follow it. Even in videos for beginners he'll just rapidly list a bunch of moves, like that's supposed to mean something. He doesn't explain the significance of the moves. Does he think that just saying what a move is makes the implications of that move obvious? Maybe it does and I'm just stupid, but when I get a list of 10 moves in 20 seconds all I see is "a bunch of pieces moved" and I have no idea what it all means. Or am I supposed to just memorize it and not bother with understanding?
When watching NL I get it tough. I see him considering different alternatives at a specific point, and from seeing what they have in common I understand what he's trying to do. When he considers an alternative and rejects it I can see why it's bad, and that the move he played instead doesn't have the same flaw.
This is way better than bullet.

Press 3 to launch a Devastating Attack.
Egg plays chess. today got a bit better
hey nl when you analyse the games, could you please show it till the end? because in that first game you didnt show the rest of the end, you cut it off, and i was really curious what position was better
I don’t know why, but this always happens to my opponents.
I wanna see you play the hippo
Hey, you've been using they a lot more now and it's really appreciated. Thanks so much for making the effort to be better, it makes a big difference for me at least.
Pogged up
I'd love to have the courage to sacrifice a piece for 2 pawns
But I'm a 1200 and I blunder pawns all the time so in my games that's basically losing a piece...
Pogged for chess!!
that guy played so fast he ended up with 40% accuracy while nl finished with 88...
So the beginning of this video is a perfect example. That was the main line of the classical Caro-Kann. I don't know the full line, but I know it up to 4.Be5. That sequence for someone who plays a decent amount of the Caro-Kann like you shouldn't take 40 seconds. From your side it shouldn't take more than 10 because by now you know those are the right moves
He's beginning to believe
Tom cruise laugh
3:00 If I were him, I probably would have sacrificed the Knight by taking on F7. King takes, and exposes the white King to checks, and makes it harder to maneuvre to safety.
Whats up with those 500 elo backseaters smh
who are these people talking about draws being unsportsmanlike? I feel like he defends offering a draw as not unsportsmanlike a lot, and I've never seen that argument.
Chess videos from NL are equivocal to cheese and crack. One taste and your jonesing for more the second you can get your hands on it.
C R A C K?
@@Kiteon well, you can't say he is wrong
1:20 if they play Bd3 you just capture a pawn.
Even if you play Nf6 and Nxf6+ exf6 Bxf5 happens, you have a Qa5+ -> Qxf5, although white is better
I had so many games where I didn't capture that pawn after Bd3 that it literally hurts :D
Great Chess video, I mean its no Dan Gheesling (A.K.A. Big Brother runner up) but sometimes you just gotta take the hit.
"We know knight b6 is gonna happen"
"I constantly have to pay attention to what knight b6 might create"
Meanwhile knight b6 would have won the exchange back for white for like 5 straight moves because it traps the rook (rook a2 would save the exchange for a move but would lose the whole rook instead because after bishop b8 the rook would have been well and truly trapped), the opponent doesn't play it and Northernlion doesn't prevent it at any point while he is commenting about how that move might be annoying. (preventing it could be achieved by rook c8 or the awkward king to e8)
i’m glad you beat Alfred, he was giving me bad vibes
SECOND ONE WAS A FAST GAMER, A LOSER ONE AT THAT
WE WANT CHESS AGAIN
Oh boy it's some memeing, sweetheart!
Hoping you'll analyze/react to Dan's ten games against Levy bot.
God I love algorithms
We had losing a won game, now winning a lost game. What's next? Drawing a draw game???? :O
Bald bald baldy bald bald bald chrome-dome hairless chess baldy bald BALD.
What is the origin of calling E1-E2 the bong cloud? I've seen most chess videos but can't find where it started
Wikipedia has an article on the bong cloud linking to the origin, a PDF from 2010
@@imienazwisko4109 thank you!
10m chess (chess) is my favourite!
It is good don't get me wrong but I wanna see more Danisity
Weird respect weird
@25:02 why not b8-c6 with the knight before the queen to threaten a attack from D4 and get an outpost?
Immediate hype for NL chess hype
I wish NL got weird and went bishop 3 here 13:26
Am I crazy? Has NL's accent gotten more Canadian recently?
hi how r u doing
edit to say: ur a great player
Algorithmic engagement!
My 3 year old brother was pogged watching the video.
You don’t know need to understand to pog.
