Most definitely. I'm enjoying this series immensely no matter how he plays so imo he should just play whatever kind of chess he wants to without worrying about what we think. Can't please all of the people all of the time and this series seems very popular anyway
Computer: "You want to trade a queen for a queen and a knight?! Inaccuracy!" I feel like the engine sometimes suggest stuff that only makes sense if you can see 20 moves ahead, and makes no freaking sense on the face of it.
If you want the best analysis of your games you should use a bot that you can alter how many moves in the future it's scanning for. A low level player like me barely can see 5 moves ahead, so a computer looking 20+ moves ahead is too much to really help me
Just wanted to say that if you get weird with it and that's what you enjoy I'm all for it, At the end of the day I think you having fun will be the most fun to watch
So I think you might want to know this for endgames with real low time - you can premove multiple moves, so in some situations you can premove a check mate even if you only have like 1 second so that the opponent can't run out the clock.
Something I'd like to point out, at 23:47 after your opponents knight move in the analysis, the reason why rook to f4 is recommended by the engine is because it effectively forks the black knight and mate in one. If your opponent rescued their knight by taking your c pawn for example, rook to h4 is checkmate because of your knight and your opponents rook blocking their king's escape. It's a pretty cool tactic.
YOOOOOO ok so I'm usually here for the isaac vids and I occasionally watch the chess vids BUT THIS had such a strong start. I really gotta watch more of your chess stuff, it has a much different feel than your isaac stuff and I like it. the pogs don't stop
I understand not wanting to analyze games you made obvious blunders in, but I feel like often you also avoid analyzing games where you didn't even recognize where you missed wins or strong advantages. Either way, been loving the chess series NL!
The fact that in the first match there was only 1 point where NL was down by a significant margin is actually incredible considering how tense it was! The gambits really do add a nice spice to the video, can't wait to see what NL pulls off in the future.
That first game was super fun to watch. The second one is best summed up by "Why am I a 1300 in 5 minute and a 1550 in 10? the world may never know" while hanging the knight for no reason lmao
From the past week we thought the egg was scrambled... But it appears that he was only being whisked into perfection, a perfection that is slowly, yet surely being attained...
So, I don't know if it's my favorite series of yours, but it is definitely one I've been watching pretty consistently. It's just kinda nice. Ya'know? And not even in a sleep aide kinda way.
the five seconds left on the clock win was pogicity. would have been awesome even if you drew or lost though, you're right - it's not all about winning!
Pretty sure the fork with the knight at 10:40 loses the game, he can take your pawn on G2 with check, if you take with the rook, you get mated by the queen, if you move your king he takes your rook with discovered check and then just mates you anyway
In the first game he was considering blundering knight move for uncomfortably long time :D (27 Ne6 gives opponent triple attack in g2 with check so NL didn't really have a fork in this line)
That first game gave me a heart attack, but the second game! I mentioned it in the last one but I know you've got a backlog so you couldn't have seen it anyway. You're playing a gambit which most gambits by definition are offensive. There is no, "should I play this defensively?" The moment you decide you want to play defense you've given up the positional advantage you got by giving up a piece. Playing a gambit defensively is effectively just playing a pawn or more down for no reason
First game he got rid of his black bishop which is a strange move to me. He should recognize London system. His black bishop is typically going to be his better one. Since you usually keep your pawn structure on dark squares his will usually end up on white squares. Unless he is looking to blow both pawn structures. If that is the case though it is best to keep bishops for an open game.
4:32 What do you mean your white bishop sucks? It is like 2 moves away from being a beast. Get that queen on the dark square and bishop to a2 or b3 and it is a headache for that king all day
Duality of NL Chess:
- Watching that first game: "Wow these are some good moves"
- Seeing the analysis: "Only 4 blunders? Pog"
The conclusion of the first game had me jumping out of my chair in excitement
The dude not taking his queen to try and win on time but losing in the end was chef's kiss.

YES! And he even won that game in a spectacular poggy fashion, as if the gods of chess united to give approval of the "let's get weird" strategy!!!

Title is Pogged, NL is pogged, im pogged and i bet everyone else is poggin up too
yeah, I'd have to agree
At 13:26 you can move your Rook to F3, attack the Knight and the Knight takes the A1 Pawn then you move the rook to H3 and that's a check mate.
The end of that first game was Incredible!!
So I think you might want to know this for endgames with real low time - you can premove multiple moves, so in some situations you can premove a check mate even if you only have like 1 second so that the opponent can't run out the clock.
At the 10-minute mark, I'm pretty sure moving your knight would have hung mate with rook captures g2, ignoring your knight
I was on the edge of my seat hoping he would would at least glance at his side of the board for that 5 minutes. lol
NL called himself a genius 7 times in this video.

Im pogged out of my gord. That first game was so fun to watch. Literally the most fun ive ever had watching chess
Chess has been so good! Keep up the great content!
I breathed a heavy sigh of relief at 10:40 as moving the knight would have led to a checkmate after 27. Ne6 Rxg2+.

12:54 you could fork the knight with a mate threat on rook f3
it hurts that he didn't see that

Getting weird is part of NL's chess growth. He has to shake off the chess personality test results and develop his inner Tal

After much consideration, this series is in fact very Poggers
30:25 yeah but you're missing that your rook can just take the knight for free after it checks you.
