      I mean he has been playing for literal years, just with a huge gap between childhood and now.
      I personally would love to see NL give 5D Chess another crack, and just take the five minutes to read through the instructions first.
      I feel that the initial video didn't go well because it was becoming popular at the time and with everything moving so fast in real life, NL didn't have the time read a big list of instructions on a game for a 'let's look at' style video.
      Coupled with being worried about how the community would view chess (NL said numerous times that he would never play chess on stream or CZcams) he was already hesitant the video would not do well.
      Now we are further on and chess is Pogging. NL is really good at this game! And the community digs it no matter what. Plus there's a routine around his new streaming schedule.
      I pray for redemption and seeing 5D chess again. I think it would be huge to play on Twitch to have that instant feedback.

An engine always wants to know the most optimal move so giving material up for positioning is difficult because the engine can have difficulty weighing that vs other options.

    The bishop sacrifice on h2 is quite a common theme, however there are a few pre-requisites. Look up the "greek gift" sacrifice, it's a useful thing to know for when the opportunity arises.
    Similarly, there' s the fishing pole which is quite similar going after those rook pawns.

    "Ask not what your pieces can do for you, ask what you can do for your pieces." -GM William Hartston
    NL, just a tip for endgames in general: Stop seeing pawns as a way to count points. You're consistently missing dozens of easy wins because you don't look to activate your pieces and recognize your assets (in case of the last game, an outside passed pawn that your opponent would've had to give up his knight for if only you had attempted to push it) before "putting pressure on" pawns. In this case, your poor rook stood on the g-file biting on granite, so your opponent was playing as if he had an extra piece instead of being down the exchange. If you actively search for pieces that aren't doing much for you and activate them (e.g. bringing your rook to the c-file to cut off the opponent's king from your passed pawn), you should see a major improvement in win percentage and those wins should also be much swifter.

    At 9:45, maybe they prefer the queen there because the black black-squared is blocking the d pawn, so the way they develop their light-square bishop is by pushing the b pawn. But if your queen is there, you just take their rook if they do that. So, it makes it harder for them to develop it. It also covers all the forward squares of their knight on f6. Maybe?
