- This didn't come from a stream! It's piping hot fresh content made for CZcams, I swear!
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
NL voicing the engine is hilarious
"what are you doing?"
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!?"
"please for the love of God JUST TAKE THE PAWN!"
NL playing chess is the best content on CZcams
He's the only one I can understand what he is doing, love how he goes through his thought process!
@@jorgerocha9315 Good enough for interesting play, not so good that he plays over a layman's head. It's beautiful!
I love his chess videos, but Tetris 99 quickly became my favorite.
NL for one video - "we have to learn to play faster"
NL immediately after that video - "time is going to be an issue, they're crushing us on time, what's new?"
Part of the problem is that he doesn't have a solid base of openings (you should never think more than a few seconds on move 2... especially in blitz and bullet). Another part of it is is he recalculates too much. If you have a line in your head and your opponent plays the next move - then you need to be confident in your calculation and play the next move faster. It's not bad to check some moves, but NL does this all of the time.
"we need to play faster" and as soon as is his time to move: "hold up......."
Honestly, just having to talk through the moves is an issue. I've tried playing while explaining moves to a friend and it takes a ton of time.
@@BryanSim Being entertaining definitely takes time.
@@jpryan90 id rather he lose every game on time than talk like that.
this man spends a whole minute on move 2
*game starts*
"Hmm, before I take my first move, let's take a few minutes to consider whether we'll castle king side or queen side".
:D
"gg ez xd"
Resignation with 0.1 seconds left is an insanely powerful move
GGEZ backwards is Z EGG
Coincidence? I think not.
Also if you take GGEZ, shuffle it around a bit, replace a few letters, remove one, you get POG!
@@Slash-XVI And if you remove some letters and add some random letters you get KEKW.
Completely losing position after a ton of blunders? Time to deploy "gg ez"
I think something for you to definitely cover in your next lesson with Levy is pawn pushes using these two games maybe as examples. Several occasions I think you overthought yourself about losing a pawn, when simply pushing it would have prevented it from being taken (see c4 at 36:50, this prevents it from being taken by the queen and frees up your queen to go do something else instead of guarding that pawn). I think in most cases it didn't matter so much, but it can save you a pawn or two which as you know matters a whole lot in endgames! Still absolutely pogged at the chess content
I really would love to see 15 min games.. I think NL would be waaaay better with that extra 5 mins
15 with 10 sec increment would be best if he and we want to enjoy the game
@@light8514 the missing tech
I really hope he does play 15 minute but I feel like he won't
That's extra 5 minutes to sing an entire song.
This 100%
He's doing commentary and narration that takes up time a normal player doesn't have to deal with. It's not saying anything about him as a chess player for him to go up to more time, he could play in a completely different way if he didn't have to stream and talk about it while he did it. 15 minutes just works more for him while he streams/records.
Northerlion: "I'm gonna be a coward and castle kingside". Meanwhile the opponent has two bishops,one rook and the queen attaking the kingside😂😂.
Honestly NL had a 15x accuracy boost with
I think NL has incredibly strong endgame skills, his "childhood muscle memory" just kicks in at that point
I know its a meme and all but he really is too strong for pogchamps
@Miasma as in thats a pretty funny reason to not be invited to a tournament
he did miss a mate around 14:50 right
@ hmm
34:12 the analysis of that second game wants NL's opponent to sac his queen on move 7 lol
I think white had Bb5 then if black plays Ke7, d6 would be mate. The only move after Bb5 would be to block with the queen, then white takes the queen with check and wins back the knight.
@@Sawowner ahh you're right, bishop queen for knight queen and castle. Good eye
@@randleewing1197 Black doesn't have time to get the rook with his knight as he needs to take the bishop, which is checking the king, first. Then White recaptures the knight and Black recaptures the pawn, and it ends up being an even trade for both sides.
wow that's amazing
That ez XD was clearly sarcasm he knows he was lucky to win that
It’s infuriating the lack of people picking up on that. *joke about chess and autism*
Or he was bitter he basically won a lost position because of time and not skills, so he decided to be a dick about it. It's sadly way too common in MOBA games like league of legends, where a bad player who died all game gets carried to victory by teammates and in the end they'll hit it with a "ggez" out of spite.
I played the bong cloud and my wife divorced me
Deserved.
As she should.
good, we love a queen with standards
@@Northernlion Been a fan for many years, your content has done so much for me. Seeing this was a real treat, thank you! I merely use the POG, you were born in it, molded by it!
Good, she wasn't a keeper then
Small correction, it's the Caro-Kann advance variation, not the advanced variation. It gets its name because white advances (pushes) his pawn to e5 in reply to d5, not because it's the 5Head variation of the Caro-Kann.
He's not ready for the 5Head variation.
Hit us with the banger tetris video, then a pogged chess video.
There's just something really funny about seeing NL make a confident positional statement just to get smacked by 2-3 move calculations
NL on move 2: Time is gonna be an issue here
Remember when his advice to Dan was not to spend 5 seconds on the first move lol
That was for bullet tho. Your point still stands, but i think you can think about what opening you are going for with 10 min. Nl just wastes a lot of time on moves that arent that great
Honestly would love a 1 game video on classical time, maybe even 15 minutes
Or 10/5
Classical would be incredibly boring. Would love to see 15 mins tho.
That second game was really good! Thank you for the content, Egg
I audibly gasped when you still decided to castle king side in the first game. Love the chess content :D
GG video, EZ like
I look forward to each chess video, thanks NL!
Love all the Chess content!
He's seeing so many ghosts, I'm losing it
very much enjoy this! thank you!
Love this videos man, ur so funny and chess like makes u show your simply beautiful carisma
Every time NL says “instructive”, Levy gets a little happy somewhere.
Puzzles have really helped me with my end game and recognizing positions
NL says he doesn’t throw games and then plays the first move he thought of despite considering other worse moves for a minute.
I love your playstyle but this time management is getting a bit out of hand. Keep it up tho
the first guy's opening moves were very nice, and btw he took back with pawn to support the d5 push
Fischer would disagree about never playing Bc4 in the Sicilian.
I was on the edge of my seat for that first game. That was actually great. That one move was so sad though
not the gg ez 😳😡
Love your chess content and voice lol never be afraid to get weird! You’re just 5-head and they gotta keep up
really started with the queens gambit opening sicilian
the coolest of lads
Gigabrain Pawn Move should be an album name or something of the like. Definitely entering the lexicon.
0:15 good advice
19:38 NL-"c4 scares the crap out of me", and i hope no one takes that personally
h3 instead of Qh5 hurt physically to see. Such a free defense of the mate.
that first person says ggez but they won the game like dan. which still makes it a fair and square victory but they're basically boasting like "I can lose a game faster than you"
That first game your best bet would have been to force a rook trade at the end.
as soon as Ryan mentioned the thing about bishop to c4, I went watched some other video that was like "now a very common trap for white to walk into is bishop to e3"
Nice Hamilton reference at 14:45 egg
All I am waiting for is the checkmate bongcloud.
Castling in a massive attack is not the best idea hahaha
nl playing the rossolimo just like magnus did against MVL yesterday
POG
That first game is why I always play smith-morrah against the Sicilian, that shite scares me
I noticed for a while now, that you never premove protecting your pieces, you could easily safe a minute by doing so.
He remembered the comment about bishop to c4 and I'm already pogged
The only reason I play chess is to drop a 'gg ez' in chat
16:44 When the opponent sends a message by ending the game with their remaining time at the speed of sound, 3:43 (343 meters per second).
14:46
Don’t worry NL, you’re not the only one with Hamilton stuck in their head
I have only said passive-aggressive comments when my opponent plays the Wayward Queen attack and loses.
Same. All I say is “don’t bring your queen out early”
At 3:02, there was a possible "fork" mentioned. But to avoid losing a piece (and form an attack), you could've gone pawn g3. If they forked, you could go Bf4 attacking their queen. They would be forced to either block with Bc6 or move their queen. If they block you trade and get rid of a powerful bishop, if they move the queen you could go Ne4 and bypass the fork/get central control. Maybe it would work, but Ne2 worked as well.
The first guy threw a huge lead and says _ez_ what a dumbass...
Keep the chess coming! I love your chess videos.
time is like when i eat a chip
i was waiting so long for g2 and it never happened
nl i love that you've started referring to your opponents with they instead of just he! extremely pogged ❤
I think the principle is trade down when you are ahead.
Hey NL if you're looking for a good weapon against the Sicilian, I'd recommend the Grand Prix variation - really easy to learn and not many people know it so very effective!
I think more premoves would help when time is running low, since often NL knows how he would respond to certain moves by the opponent before it's his turn.
When on 21. Move i was thinking going Qeen to h3 to defend the knight and same time prevent the checkmate
Man, I'd love NL to start playing 15 minute games just so he has some time to make his moves! That first game was a heartbreaker.
They play Night to F6, we play E6... which is actually E5. Hilarious!!
Man, if NL started playing 15|10 he'd absolutely crush it
You can definitely play Bc4 in the Sicilian, it was one of Bobby Fischer's primary tools against the Sicilian. Whoever said that was likely referring specifically to the Bowdler Attack, which is an objectively inferior opening characterized by the moves 1. e4 c5 2. Bc4
at 12:39, I think black can play Rg1+ to guarantee the promotion of the pawn. the only move for white is Kxg1, and then e2 from black wins the game
You’re the best mr. egg
What Mate in one is he talking about around 8:20 ? Once he moves back the knight to g4 the h2 pawn is covered. Am I missing something ?
"Never play Bc4 in Sicilian"
Meanwhile, Bc4 recommended move by the engine in move 3 😂
Bc4 is a pretty standard move putting pressure on the weak F7 square.
@@renzei_z Yeah but moving your bishop back is fine, a lot of players feel moving the bishop twice in an opening is bad, as it's against the opening 'rule' of only move pieces once. But this is a guideline more than a rule.
35:53 explains why he wanted to trade queens and then doesn't trade queens
He wanted his opponent to trade, not himself. Puts him in a very different position. So euh, idk who you mocking, you looking like the fool now!
@@miniclip1162 but why tho? maybe i don't get it, but wouldn't it be the same if he took instead of waiting for the opponent to take? sure, the knight and the pawn would be in diffirent positions, but i don't think nl was concerned about that
@@buddy94445 NL is at an advantage and doesn't necessarily need to trade queens. By putting the opponent in a place where they are pressured to trade queens they can either A) trade their queen in a situation where NL considers removing the queens off the board is better for him than the opponent or B) give away their position and fall back to a spot that makes their queen effectively useless until further development.
Basically, if they trade NL comes out ahead, but if they don't NL also gets a positional advantage. There's no point for NL to trade immediately because he can apply pressure somewhere else on the board, as that "situation" is basically solved already
Amazing that no matter what opening black plays, nor how much analysis, NL still ends up in the exact same opening. The same opening he complained about always ending up in.
I think it would be instructive to review the analysis of how much time is spent on moves and where you're getting stuck.
minor issue, but could you move the eggcam over to the right so that we can see the notation? I keep looking away and then wanting to check what happened.
"Niyezmeditnov" hahaha
I propose an experiment.
How about one episode where you don't explain everything to us to see how much time you loose by talking everything through.
I talk to myself and narrate when I'm thinking about chess....and no one's even watching me. It's just something some ppl do.
@@seanbailey8545
Yes, but i am guessing that more time is spent than a "self focused" move would give. Also, It would be interesting to see if more time got spent but the extra explaining significantly effected the results.
Im not sure nl knows what the bong cloud is
just came for the "gg ez" part on chat, can someone tell me the time it is on? thanks :)
turning on premoves wont help if you dont premove
Play with an increment!
Rashid Nehzmetdinov really deserves a posthumous GM title. One of the best players to ever not have the title.
gg
Winning on time and hittimg them with a gg ez
@ 8:30 what about queen H5? doesnt that protect the knight and mate in 1?
God damn that first game hurt me. Literally could have won with the most basic of checkmates if only he hadn't hung the rook. Literally placing it above the pawn would have been the premove to do, since that way the opponent literally couldn't do what he did.
sir no one cares, turn off your phone and enjoy the movie or leave the theater.
Nice Hamilton reference
36:50 unexpected backstreet boys
NL you should really start playing 15|10 games. You realistically can't flag in that time control.
really any time control with increment. 5+5 is roughly equivalent to 10+0 but you'd never lose on time. 3+2 is roughly equivalent to 5+0 but again, almost never lose on time. 3+2 and 5+5 are both popular time controls so queue times shouldn't be any longer either.
@@phyisis8657 I never play any time control without increment, personally. I don't like dealing with time scrambles.
@@phyisis8657 Thank you that's really nice to know! Maybe NL should consider 5+5 then if he is concerned about the longer video time otherwise
all the stuff that's like after three moves he's threatening mate in 1, doesnt that just make it hes threatening mate in 4?
Not really, a threat of "mate in x" means that he's threatening a forced mating sequence that will take that many moves. If three moves beforehand there is no forced mate threat, but the potential to create one. It's something to watch out for, but they aren't threatening a mate in x yet
My dear sir, at 14:58 you had M1!! Source: I am an avid chess com user
but it wasn't his turn
I'm here to inform you that I like this video.
7:22 do loses the knight after knight check his king go to e5 and both knights are under attack with no defence
northernlion
I feel like b7-b6 is a move you really don't like in defence.
That rook move :((
