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
NL's commentary style seems meant for chess. I am quite entertained. It's like a purely logical podcast lol
Highly true
This is unique to chess for NL
Yeah and I actually watch these videos unlike Isaac or the NLSS because I actually want to see whats going on rather than letting the game be background for this mans pogged banter.
LoL? As in League?
That Jaenisch Gambit game was incredible.
NL, the computer line for best moves is right under the move. For the pawn to g5 best move, the line was nh5, gxh6, etc. You kept looking at the actual game line.
Someone should really tell him about the "show lines" checkbox.
I have no clue how that screen works, care to explain?
Yes, his analysis would improve signifcantly if he would take some time to learn how to read the computer's first line
@@TGgametactics in the top left of the screen there is a box that saws show lines, enable that to see why it recommended a move. If you play through all of the lines it should show why you are winning, other than that it just analyses your games
9:15 the best continuing line is right under “g5 is best”. You can click the move notation to see through that line.
Gotham had "Strongest 1500 Ever!" in his thumbnail
i was about to like you comment.. then saw the 69.
An 1800 is a strong 1500 yes...
NL may occasionally lose a game, but his ELO is still climbing upwards, he's too new to the sites rating that it hasn't yet got him to where his rating should be. Which I feel is currently around 1800 but could definitely be 2kish with some studying, which he doesn't have a ton of time foe right now
@@Chizzle69420 2k my ass
@@Chizzle69420
Haha I Don't know about 2k , how about a strong 1669 😂
NL going into overdrive when he's low on time is something else
2019 nl: I will never play chess on my channel.
2020 nl: *chess theory intensifies*
Little did he know it would be one of his most pogged series of all time
Bruh he even said he would never do it like two months ago
I look forward to your chess videos every day
NL, Levy told you that trading queens is absolutely fine when youre defending with that trade, as you did in game #2
Don't you swing from trade-happy to never-trade now lol
Yeah being a hesitant trader is as much of the problem as the opposite extreme.
@@RyanGaryLeTomo Can confirm. Was the same in all the deck builders. He is just not the type that thinks all the details through while playing on camera. Some say he has sold many a game with this method.
Also, when you are ahead, trading will just seal your opponents fate. It is basically your opponent destroying their ability to get out of a hole.
@@mattbenz99 That's only true when you're ahead in terms of material, when you're ahead because your pieces are on great positions trading them will absolutely not benefit you.
@@michel1292
Yes, that is what I meant. You don't want to trade pieces when you are only positionally ahead because that is just giving up your position. But when you are ahead in material, trading just keeps you up in material.
Dude that second game felt like such a good win, Levy would be pogged
Yeah he really got all the moves I wasn't expecting
you could definitely see the gears turning in his head. Unexplored territory
30:44 is so me when my printer prints a medial form
egg literally takes 90iq to use
That second game was great. Lessons with levy already paying off
For sure, I can't wait for more to come.
I watched that entire lesson with Gotham Chess. Hopefully see some of that carryover in your game play!
You’d do well to remember who you’re watching...
Intermediate Chess Player:
Northern "let's trade queens" Lion
@@noatiendoboludos there was nothing he could do, dude!
If our egg were used to make a baked good, that baked good would be the spongecake, because he excels in soaking up knowledge.
Same if theres another one I'm watching the whole thing praise baldy
If you click the magnifying glass icon next to the recomended moves it shows you the next plays that the engine would do
I like how NL is so much better at chess than his comment section that everybody's backseating the UI instead.
@@DivyeshVartha Yea, he's not the greatest chess player around, but he is significantly better than the majority of his subscriber base.
@@DivyeshVartha christ dude do you have to be such a downer?
He is more than top 10% in the chess com player base, i would say thats pretty decent, also he does this while giving commentary
@@daemorax21 literal esports professional
That's true, he's likely better at chess than most of his subscribers, but that's not the reason he gets no backseating. People who are better than him understand that explaining why a move is "good" or "not-as-good" can be really difficult. The only way to really do it is with the intended person actively paying attention to the boardstate you're referencing, which is why Gotham could do it. Imagine if Gotham went anonymous and started backseating NL in the comments, it would just not work at all and NL wouldn't even register the comment. Most people better at chess than NL are intelligent enough to realize that. Most of them also know that x move is better than y because "it just is" and don't want to bother explaining it.
What the heck is the Egg Gambit?
When NL pog's my gourd with more chess
I'm opening with Egg Gambit Accepted
Now this is "your comment got a heart" material.
Call it pog's gambit: sack a comment for some dopamine, baby.
The Egg Gambit is saying out loud "Let's get wild" before any move.
IM training and an updated screen region. This just got serious.
How is this both the most engaging and best the video to get ready to nap to at the same time?
I do the same thing! These videos are interesting but also nothing crazy will happen, so it's great to help me fall asleep.
@@theyxaj excuse me, the printer printing a medical form was absolutely wild.
Welcome back to "What Does The Printer Print!"
Today we have a new guest: e-sports veteran Northern! *crowd goes wild *
Northern, for one million dollars: what does the printer print?
"IT'S A MEDICAL FORM!" \o/
CORRECT! HE HAS DONE IT AGAIN, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!
In the analysis there's a tick box to "show lines" that will have arrows for your and your opponents best moves in a position. Its a good tool for working through a position to see why certain moves are best.
You finally did it you crazy egg, ya got me into chess.
Just starting learning the Italian and the French… Wish me luck.
"You come at NL, you best not miss."
I'm pogged to see the continuity call out after watching the 2 hour lesson
New series: "What Will The Printer Print"
I'd honestly watch it
Honestly you are good at chess. I'm glad u got back into it, watching you play made me want to start. Keep poggin brother
Journey to 2000!!! You can do it NL! Keep up the chess colabs. There are some awesome youtube chess personalities
No, he can't do it. He will never be 2000 elo
He improved the screen region in the video omega poggers
Awesome to see some of the lesson carrying over! Genuinely loving this series
"Put some threat on the bishop" is my latest favorite euphemism.
Hey NL, I just wanted to say I'm super enjoying this chess series and I'm glad you seem to be having fun with it. It seems like it's only going to get better after that pogged lesson
That second game was really impressive, its interesting watching you analyse the games afterwards too
NL, the reason he is so quick at 19:34 is because he "pre-moved" the king. For instance, if you make a move during your opponents turn, as soon as their move is made, your move will trigger. This is helpful in takes-takes situations where you know if he takes you, you're going to take right back.
Love the series!
That Nf5 move at 30:03 to prevent the queen from coming back to protect pieces was 200 IQ+ galaxy brain move.
NL this chess series has been such a pleasure to watch, ty
That lesson was awesome! Love the chess content
Super fun video to watch! you're getting me into the game NL :)
the second round you played was some excellent mid/end game jockeying by you
We have Slasher's Keep. NL be slashing down those rooks.
The first game you opened up your king side pawn structure wayyyy too much NL, and they obviously knew how to take advantage of it.
I have been watching NL for half a decade and this is the most consistently pog content of all time, which is saying a hell of a lot. This is plan-my-day-around tier poggitude. This is tetris 99 rise to greatness levels of thrill. I cannot effuse enough praise for this content. Pog. Pog, I say.
lesson with levy was great! glad to see more chess here NL. road to 2000 here we go
You played so well in the second game. The study is really paying off!
That second game was a pleasure to watch, when games aren't decided by blunders chess becomes incredible to play and watch.
"we played a good game we just talked too much"
Radio silence NL would be a GM EZ.
tetris all over again
Give the Egg 6 months and he'll be sniping wyatts in bullet.
Haven´t even watched the video yet but already pogged out of my gourd!
Thank you for the company NL.
Learning so much and also being entertained. What a golden combination!
You're now the official face of Jaenisch Gambit
IM NL... no not like I am NL, like he’s an IM
That second game was really intense and really really well played by you NL. Keep it up, that was really great and really impressive :)
I watched the lesson with Levy and watching you pull from it in this video is very cool!
Instead of trading he just continues to apply pressure until he suffocates the man out of the game. Very POGGY
That last match was actually one of the most riveting gaming moments I ever seen
Love this series
I love this content. Your brain is calibrated for this high caliber commentary, and I'm all here for it.
this is my favorite series on CZcams :)
Both of these games were great! Even the one that you lost was well played, you just got into some crazy territory and the opponent got the upper hand. Especially since that opponent was rated 1600+, and you had real fighting chances in that game, I think it's clear that you'll be reaching 1600 yourself soon enough!
As a side note, seeing a move I preferred end up as the "best" move in analysis is some of the most powerful endorphin stimulation known to man. I might be bad at chess compared to you, but the occasional validation from the computer analysis is still a hell of a drug. Please keep the chess series going forever NL
I am all about the new era of chess, these videos flow so nicely
Ok that 2nd game was by far the most exciting for me in the series so far! Awesome stuff :) And the printer intermission to top it off
That second game was pogged up, the tension when you were worried about mate but took the pawn on C6? Absolute brilliance! Well done NL!
That second game was poggers
Feels like NL's first time with a complicated mid game in the second match. You can see how uncomfortable he is but that just means he's in unexplored territory which is a good thing. You can see the gears turning in his mind lol, this is great content.
Gotta love charts like the one for the second game! Domination!
I would be insanely pogged if there was a day a week of just chess streaming. Watching NL figure out chess moves is super fun!
Just poppin' in to say that the collab with Levy was awesome, I've been learning a bunch from your videos, and have started to have moderate success winning some games as a new player (~500). Hope the chess content sticks around for a while!
Edit: He went in hard on that second game
Great plays NL! Thanks for the pogs!
Mate - you first got my into dark souls, then into Isaac and now I’m finding myself super interested in chess - great content as always
I watched maybe like 10 isaac episodes and just.... My brain glitched when he said "...to northernlion play chess" i was waiting for tboi.
YOOO SAME
Loving this
Small hint for 22:46 - generally you don't want to put your pawns on the same color as your bishop because it blocks your bishop and makes it a good target for the opponents bishop.
With e4 you let your opponent to close the center which makes your bishop bad and his pawn on c6 is bad anyway.
After d4 in these structures you have to be careful to not let the opponent's knight to c3 or f4 as the too much pawns on white squares led to these weak black spots.
POGGERS DUDE ITS SO GOOD TO SEE A 40 MIN GOURD FILLER, LETS GO
That second game was awesome. Locked in position, and NL moves pieces on both sides of the board to slowly grind the opponents defense down until they make a mistake.
15:30 QA4 blows them out. Prevents the pawn capture by pinning their A pawn to their rook. Then you get to capture their pawn, they capture back with either the rook or bishop and now you're up a pawn.
When you're analyzing your games there's a box you can check above where it shows the moves you played to show the lines
Moving the king to h1 at 38:43 is the way to get out of it is because the queen is trapped in that position. There is only one safe square to move the black queen to and it is g3 and there is still no safe place to go because your next move is always rook to f3
Hey NL! In the analysis screen, the engine suggests moves to follow what you do. Just underneath text like “h4 is best” in the upper-right-hand corner, the list of moves is what the engine considers best after that move. So you can change moves and follow the lines of moves it thinks is best.
Second game was great. Good work, Ryan.
MORE CHESS! MY GOURD IS IS POGGED BUT ONLY FOR TODAY.
What's the Anime of your profile pic?
I ain't got a clue.
That last game sent me to the stratosphere!
If they do another pog champs u should definitely try to get in... A Hafu vs. NL matchup would be tantalizing
The rematch from Champions of Fire.. i dont remember what they played and who won tho lol
Love the chess series man!
You do seem to have a blind spot for the smallprint subanalysis though..
I'm hoping realization will dawn soon :-)
That last match was amazing
that face when the computer dislikes one of your moves so much that it says the best move on the next turn is just undoing it even though nothing happened in that part of the board since :/ feelsbadman
Gotham and Nakamura just now questioning why Ryab is the face for this gambit. Little did they know (and little did NL know as well).
In game 2, the game liked you moving the pawn up to f2 because it provides a potential opportunity to trap their queen by baiting your check.
Knight to e2 on first game was a solid move to protect king
It begins!
Can someone explain why the end of game number of blunders and mistakes often is different from the number it shows in the analysis?
38:45 My theory is that engines like giving checks because it severely limits the possible responses that are actual legal moves from that point on.
In any given position you can play dozens of different moves, and the computer has to look at each and every one to find out which ones are the bone head ones. The moment you check, it's suddenly only a few moves, sometimes even only a single one.
Other commenters: Man, the analysis at the end of the video-
Me: The analysis during the games in progress 19:38-20:50
Northernlion, just look at the moves outlined underneath "best move". It shows what the engine thinks is best. Also , if you click it you get the full variant in the variants overview. You can also toggle "show lines" at the top of the overview to see the lines analysis thinks are best.
Ryan's subs have been going up so quickly to keep up with the pogs
Love the chess videos 👍😀👍
9:40 It shows it at the top below the green 'g5 is best'
yoooo the jaenisch gambit babyyy
pushing the passed pawns is not complicated gamesmanship, its just how to win, you got passed pawns you push'em
14:02 Jaenisch Gambit game
Time to apply the knowledge!
That second game was amazing
Make the match even longer. If you have more time, you comment each of you move more. Then the move is better and there is even more entertainment value.
POG!
When you were analyzing and you wanted to see what would’ve been their next move, you needed to check the "show lines" box.
