Ned is a smart man, but he had one hidden advantage over Kurt: he's used to ignoring the absolute nonsense from the other three while trying to concentrate.
This is random af but the reason for that is that when you walk into a new room your brain takes a second to process everything you're seeing so you end up forgetting. Walking back into the room I came from always works for me lmao
I've heard this does happen!! They pass by each other in the hall and REMEMBER the board that they're mentally playing and keep verbally communicating moves.
Not just letting him leave, but acknowledging that one of his victims behaved in a way that surprised and entertained him, so as a gratitude he let them escape.
I feel like Ned is way smarter than most people believe. He took the SAT after 15 years and got a super high score. He got into Yale and worked as a chemist. He tied with a chess master.
Phoebe Ahn : And Ned clearly called a truce because he was nervous over the last few moments of the game. Didn’t want to continue stressing trying to beat Kurt. Haha Also, a lot of us know that Ned is the most educated and analytical of the Try Guys. After all, he is the one who manages the Try Guys finances. FYI, did anyone notice that Ned was concentrating and joking the least in this video?
Kurt could literally play any instrument, is musically gifted, learned a new language in only a week, and also a chess master??? God REALLY has favorites huh
Yeah no all of this is just a lot of hard work and I’m sure he would agree with that. Unless someone has a serious learning disability, everyone can achieve goals if you put the work in and are dedicated.
@@jigdreldorji5882 Nakamura can defeat 4 Kurt level players blindfolded in a similar simul as in this vid. Grandmaster is a whole different ballgame compared to master, and Nakamura is one of the best grandmasters in the world. But yeah it would be nice to see him enter the chess scene and taking on guys like Nakamura, Eric Rosen, etc, etc.
I'm convinced that in a tournament setting (where you'd be kicked out for being that noisy) players of their skill level wouldn't have been able to create a draw.
I guess that it depends from person to person how much the noice effects you. Personally I have done this against 2 people in at school during a break while talking to others. The most impressive part is the amount of boards. I don't think I can handle a 3th. And that's comming from someone who calculated 12^12 with mental math.
@@slowpokerodriguez917 I wouldn't say so. People tend to know when something is within their vicinity even they can't see it. Also, there was like, a solid second of awkward silence before he shook it so he probably figured.
Idk man, I think this was the most mentally intense one. Those were way more emotionally or physically intense but this was like, all in brains tension lol
It's crazy because I've been a fan of KHS for a years, and I knew he went to yale. I've been a fan of the Try Guys for years, so I knew Ned went to Yale. BUT THE FACT THEY KNEW EACH OTHER BLOWS MY MIND
I just realized kurt did this and in the drunk v. high math challenge, Drunk ned simultaneously wrote a love note to Keith and solved a crazy hard math question in his head at the same time... what tf does Yale do to people 😂
If people think Ned is smart for solving that arithmetic problem that I could solve within seconds even as a 14-year-old and for drawing in a blindfolded simul someone I would be the favourite against in a fair match, then I must be a freaking genius lol.
I think the long silence following a loud inhale of anticipation prompted him to raise his hand in offer for a hand shake himself, then just found out neds hand was already there lol
Eugene, when confronted with Check Mate: "I'm going to move forward. Charge into death." Keith, when confronted with Check Mate: "How about a peace treaty and I'll go hide."
Well even non chessmasters could... In my classroom, the chessplayers had a class where they are trying to play without the board or pieces but only with paper and pencil...
when kurt compliments their moves while being totally unable to see, that is the most impressive. when he moves, it almost feels like he could be guessing (I know he isn't but it feels like he could be less oriented) but when he acknowledges their moves as good, it really shows he not only knows all the pieces on all four boards, not only have plans for his pieces for all four boards, but ALSO is keeping track of all of their potential moves, which ones are good, and how he may counter them

@@querpou7488 When there's something within your body vicinity you will feel its presence if you are restricted from seeing. You won't know what exactly it is, but you'll know something is there. And there are also factors like the fact that there was a moment of awkward silence when Ned stuck his hand out to the guy, so... Considering he just beat 3 people and tied a fourth one he probably just figured it out.
@@querpou7488 And *also* during Chess when there is a draw coming both players need to agree on it and then shake their hands. So it's just instinctual.
Joeheart I’m half Chinese and half Mexican and I think it’s really impressive. Yale’s acceptance rate is absolutely insane, for anyone to even get IN Yale is impressive and to graduate is very difficult.
@@joeheart5808 yale is internationally known bruv. People from outside america try to get in and can't. You probably couldn't. Besides people who go to these schools don't brag about it like an achievement because imposter syndrome is so insane at those schools.
The fact that he played FOUR games at once while BLINDFOLDED IS INSANE. He memorized every single move for each board. Remembered the board layout, the pieces, everything...for FOUR boards. The man is a genius. Him memorizing 2 boards while blindfolded would have been impressive, let alone four. Holy crap. I am sad I missed this vid when it came out. I don't know how or why. I blame YT...I am also impressed with Ned. I wonder how well he would do playing 1V1 with Kurt. P.S. I have to say...well, I don't have to say, but I WANT to say. Kurt is very attractive. IDK man, that intelligence, and soft spoken voice, with the mannerisms. I like it lol. Brains are sexy.
as a chess player I have to say that Kurt's recall and sportsmanship are amazing. not only does he take the Guys seriously as opponents, he takes the time to explain castling, etc., and admits when one of them makes a good move. I've tried blindfolded games before and I was always very severely handicapped; seeing as I'm not that good to begin with, so I lost every game I played blindfolded, obviously. the fact that some chessmasters can play without setting eyes on a board stuns me.
_Okay but why is Kurt low-key hot walking around stroking his hair, thinking about his next move. Don't get me started on that calm voice, like damn what-_ I want someone to tell me to move the nibbly nib to B5 like that
ned: "also a colledge friend" so kurt has went to yale, been musically gifted, is a master of chest and learnt a language in a week. peace im out, this.. this is too much
The only reason I knew Kurt was a chess master before this video was that I used to be subscribed to Rosanna Pansino, who had Kurt on her show a few times, and they made a chessboard cake and played on it 😅
I remember hearing something, somewhere, at some point, that a swords master would rather fight an experienced swordsman then a complete novice, and I think this falls in line with your statement
Black Sheep He was the same way in the sushi episode...so funny! I think he’s just so much more comfortable in his own skin than he was when they started.
I love how mind blown he was when he saw how Kurt replayed the whole match from memory even with a blindfold on. He was all like "Wtf that is genius" and it works like that.
Ned played incredibly well - I put the endgame in Stockfish and at no point was he losing (it hovered around equal to +1.0). It was +0.3 when he offered a draw.
Ned: *plays most chess* Keith: *chess champ 6th grade* Zach: *played in first grade* Eugene: “Oh yeah, that’s the building and the Jesus top and the....”
Bengt Bagels if you’re asking what the musical is, it is a Tony-nominated musical by Benny Anderson (from ABBA), Björn Ulvaeus (also from ABBA), and Tim Rice (who also co-wrote the music for the Lion King, Billy Elliot, and Jesus Christ Superstar to name a few) about a chess match at the height of the Cold War between American and USSR world champions. It has been performed on the west end, on broadway, and on multiple tours since the concept album debut in 1984. It’s most notable songs include “I Know Him So Well” and “One Night In Bangkok”. Original cast included leading lady of west end theatre Elaine Paige. It’s good, I highly recommend you look into it.
lmao when Ned said “he’s a college friend of mine” I went “oh so two people from the same university became famous, what are the odds?!” and then they said “YALE-OFF” I was like “oh…”
@@SpiritsMC5YT Lol no, It's just an ivy league school. Their alumni includes Presidents. So they attract a lot of people that will eventually go on and do something with their lives on a large scale politically. And then theatrically, Yale has a top rated acting school so they have a lot of famous alumni acting.
@@mgc38 It'd be easy for him to go to an Ivy League if he states how good he is at chess, and that he is really into music. It's great for the reputation of the Ivy League schools and their chess teams as well as musical groups.
This is the first video with Ned that I have watched since the news dropped - and I wasn't sure how I would feel, but to be honest - I still enjoyed it, but maybe it's because Ned was actually focused for real in this video instead of trying to be funny.
I really am trying to avoid the Ned comments. I just wanna watch videos in peace and maybe with a little pain. But I agree, I was gonna comment on how you can see the change in his expression: While playing chess he's extremely focused, and not even what's happening next to him can phase him. After the match, he returns to doing exagerated expressions. That's something.
@@Odhil95 I think I am finding that I can still appreciate the videos for what they are with Ned - that it doesn't change my opinion of the video - they're still great videos of four (sometimes 3) best friends doing weird/funny/kooky/crazy things together.
I mean the fact that Kurt can concentrate on such a level while all the dumb conversations are going on right beside his ears is just mind-blowing.
Lmao right? Like op
I would have been like “can everyone be quiet while I think for a second” 😂
That’s what I was thinking. I wouldn’t be able to concentrate because I’d be laughing the whole time. 😂😂

It’s insane like I be laughing all the time
Ned is a smart man, but he had one hidden advantage over Kurt: he's used to ignoring the absolute nonsense from the other three while trying to concentrate.
Omg so true 😂
Facts
🤣
Very true, but Eugene kinda has that too XD he just doesn't know how to play Chess very well.
He shouldn't have accepted the draw, according to me, he should've tried to win
He can memorize 4 different chess games blindfolded while I can't remember why I entered a room. Makes sense.

Then you forget that chess is small brain game. Can testify as a dumb bum chess player.
Haj then you remember he went to Yale and was a scientist
I forgot he went to Yale
TimeSnake and then you remember again because it did not do anything to the game, cuz in Kurts mind it was still at b6
lol yeah you're right I was thinking upside down
Imagine being smart enough to tie with a chess master but not smart enough to not realize you’d get caught cheating in public
I was thinking the same thing
💀
when zach said this was the greatest moment of his life. we know that apparently his wife and children weren’t so
I just think he had been feeling untouchable before all this unfolded. Bc from what we’ve seen so far, he doesn’t seem like a dumb guy at all.
that's the difference between bein smart and being intelligent
This just feels like a serial killer playing with his victims and letting one to leave when he could've just killed him
Not just letting him leave, but acknowledging that one of his victims behaved in a way that surprised and entertained him, so as a gratitude he let them escape.

I WAS LOOKING FOR THIS COMMENT and yes i'm watching this video in 2022
"Can the 4 of us gang up on 1 man who is blindfolded, and win?"
"No, no we cant."
Nathan Cate they can draw though
Harleigh D draw what?
@@SSage2277 as in 'tie'
Nine's Own Goal tie what a rope or a tie
It's not a draw, one of them one but the majority lost so it's a loss
“How do you play chess?”
*Eugene in a chess tournament*
Probably
He gave it his best shot
@@tryguys mayyybbeee
@@tryguys I love you guys sooo much❤❤❤
The Try Guys
He’d probably still beat me to be honest
*Ned: dressed like he is going to a church*
*Zach: dressed like he's about to rob a bank*
*Keith: dressed normally*
*Eugene: dressed stylishly*
Kurt: serial killer
this is my ALL TIME favourite, Try Guys collab video.
aka Eugene is also dressed normally. Just by his standards
True
And you got billie eilish walking in at 4:27
Ned : Draws against a master.
Also Ned : holds out hand to blindfolded Kurt
To be fair, he did see the shake
“He is a musician, he is a RUclipsr, and *in proud Ned voice* he’s a college mate of mine”
*college
Syd volly collage
@@kikimo5558 hey now, maybe Ned and Kurt used to make collages each other, we don't know for sure
PS I feel like I need to clarify that I'm just making an admittedly bad joke.
I read that in Ned's voice 😂😂😂
I just got this joke.
eugene: “i’ve never played chess”
“the jesus top”
he was looking, you can se that in the min 16:54 where the non blindfolded man gives him a handshake, and the blindfolded knew where the hand was, what a clickbait smh
quer pou
Ned stuck his hand out and kurt did the same towards Ned. Ned grabbed hand.
@@querpou7488 When there's something within your body vicinity you will feel its presence if you are restricted from seeing. You won't know what exactly it is, but you'll know something is there. And there are also factors like the fact that there was a moment of awkward silence when Ned stuck his hand out to the guy, so... Considering he just beat 3 people and tied a fourth one he probably just figured it out.
@@querpou7488 And *also* during Chess when there is a draw coming both players need to agree on it and then shake their hands. So it's just instinctual.
i paused and came looking for this. glad i found it
I think everybody forgets how smart Ned actually is after all he went to Yale
Marykate De Souza Really? I’ve always identified him as the smart ass one 🤓
Well he was a former chemist
Marykate De Souza pretty sure only Americans find that to be a big achievement
Joeheart I’m half Chinese and half Mexican and I think it’s really impressive. Yale’s acceptance rate is absolutely insane, for anyone to even get IN Yale is impressive and to graduate is very difficult.
@@joeheart5808 yale is internationally known bruv. People from outside america try to get in and can't. You probably couldn't. Besides people who go to these schools don't brag about it like an achievement because imposter syndrome is so insane at those schools.
The most astonishing thing is that he understands Eugene’s language.
Kurt said Nathan Fillion 😆
“You look like Steve Jobs’ hipster son”
“Yeah, who does magic”😂
"Queen takes queen c6"
"Yaaas queeeen"
"Rook takes queen"
"Ohhh nooo queen..."
@@svidyut4402 lol I even forgot about this comment
“Queen takes Queen C6”
“Yeessss queennn!”
“Root takes Queen”
“Noooo queenn!”
Low-key my favourite part.
Also, if anyone wants the time stamp, it's: 13:01
My fav part of the video honestly 😂
That was my favorite section of the entire video. 😂😂😂😂
*Rook not root
Root?
The fact that he played FOUR games at once while BLINDFOLDED IS INSANE. He memorized every single move for each board. Remembered the board layout, the pieces, everything...for FOUR boards. The man is a genius. Him memorizing 2 boards while blindfolded would have been impressive, let alone four. Holy crap. I am sad I missed this vid when it came out. I don't know how or why. I blame YT...I am also impressed with Ned. I wonder how well he would do playing 1V1 with Kurt. P.S. I have to say...well, I don't have to say, but I WANT to say. Kurt is very attractive. IDK man, that intelligence, and soft spoken voice, with the mannerisms. I like it lol. Brains are sexy.
as a chess player I have to say that Kurt's recall and sportsmanship are amazing. not only does he take the Guys seriously as opponents, he takes the time to explain castling, etc., and admits when one of them makes a good move. I've tried blindfolded games before and I was always very severely handicapped; seeing as I'm not that good to begin with, so I lost every game I played blindfolded, obviously.
the fact that some chessmasters can play without setting eyes on a board stuns me.
he is a national master and he can do this much
imagine what a grand master like carlson or hikaru can do
_Okay but why is Kurt low-key hot walking around stroking his hair, thinking about his next move. Don't get me started on that calm voice, like damn what-_
I want someone to tell me to move the nibbly nib to B5 like that
its the serial killer vibes lol
honestly tho
exactly my thought!!
Chilled Ice of Frost wtf
JessCookie OMG thats literally what i was thinking the whole time i rewatched the video twice just to see it!😂
Anyone know what Ned’s favourite game is?
It’s chess. It’s his favourite game because chess rhymes with Wes.
Noice
Omg
why is that so FUCKING WHOLESOME
🤣
I'm a Potato LOL
“Fuckin’ Protestants win cause I’m killing your bishop”
Omg I fucking burst out laughing hysterically when Eugene said that 😂😂😂
ned: "also a colledge friend"
so kurt has went to yale, been musically gifted, is a master of chest and learnt a language in a week. peace im out, this.. this is too much
Yet he fucking works with BuzzFeed.
Oh my god 😂 ight I'ma head out as well..
hes just james bond but lame because of buzzfeed. so maybe Lames Bond
@Harrison Tran The try guys left around 2 years ago to start their own company
He's a puzzle master as well, he got some excellent sudoku abilities
Him knowing everything blindfolded is insanely attractive to me
Right? He look so hot thinking
AGREED!!
I’ve never found him more attractive tbh
İ swear that is the word i used he is a serial killer material but in a good hot way😍
Sex God
Alright guys, when are we doing this again but online?
lol
Lichess is pretty great.
yoooo what's up mr. chess
never
2 days ago? Wow
I’ve been listening to Kurt Schneider covers for 10+ years and I’m just now discovering he’s a musical genius AND a chess master? Wtf
The guys a genius. He also knows multiple languages.
The only reason I knew Kurt was a chess master before this video was that I used to be subscribed to Rosanna Pansino, who had Kurt on her show a few times, and they made a chessboard cake and played on it 😅
Same. Since high school and all I know is, he's the guy really good at music and really good at medleys
I know! They said Kurt Schneider and I was like...wait...the musician?
That’s what I’m saying. I didn’t know he was a chess master!
the fact that he did that when they were distracting him too
Eugene: the horse heads, the building, the little nobby top, the Jesus top, the sacrificial lamb
Hey i didn’t know we were dealing with an expert here
Me when talking about chess
i exploded laughing at that😂😂😂😂😂😂
Nice
@@_am_i_ell_ Same XD
Sacrificial lamb
Ned: *queen takes queen*
Zach, Eugene, and Keith: “yASSS QUEEEEN”
Kurt: *rook takes queen*
Zach, Eugene, and Keith: “noooo queeen..”
This killed me 😂😂
rook*
rook*
Literally rewatched it so many times. XDXDXD
The best part of the video. Other than Eugene calling Zach Steve Jobs' son.
13:03
"this is probably the most intense try guys video we've ever done"

I was looking for this comment.
"yaaaaassss queennnn"
"oh no queeennn"

Dude one more like pleaseeeee
Lol it’s different now it was at 999 likes
That was my favorite bit 🤣
I think that this is harder with bad players than with average players, because is harder to remember moves that doesn't make too much sense. xD
You'd be absolutely coreect to assume that 😂
Also the cross talk is something you wouldn't have in a normal simultaneous.
Nah
I remember hearing something, somewhere, at some point, that a swords master would rather fight an experienced swordsman then a complete novice, and I think this falls in line with your statement
This statement bringing me back to a fun episode of Smart Guy on Disney
“Queen takes Queen”
“YASSSSSS QUEEN”
“Rook takes Queen”
“oh nooooo Queen”

4:18 “It’s just classic, the queen does all the work, the king take all the credits”
Well said, Zach, well said.
When Kurt is in chess master mode he is like a different person...
AshesToDust yeah he becomes Hannibal Lecter
He is MAD concentrating! You try playing 4 games at once blindfolded, win 3 and tie 1 lol :D
No cap he was cute I was like oh whoa a whole dom coming to surface
Everytime it switched from chess mode Kurt to explaining Kurt it was like he was different person
It was both scary and hot.
Eugene just seemed so lost and confused with this whole game lmaooo
He doesn't play.
Jessi on the Go I know he did mention that...
Honestly same so relatable
That's how I felt!
Eugene: I'm gay I don't know chess
People pretending they found Kurts chess skills attractive when we all know it was that suit annd blindfold
It is all of the above.
I like all three plus the deep raspy voice he had while playing
K-pop Lover mm agree
*Magnus Carlson walks in* I could probably beat 4 Kurt's while blindfolded
Nah the skills and a voice for me (also a blindfold ngl))
"Ohhhhh, he was cancelled by fox" - Possibly the funniest thing I've heard Ned Say
Now Ned has three things to talk about: his wife, his son, and his tie with a chess master.
How he forfeited an easy win against a chess master
Spoiler
His butt
And he went to Yale
Ani Kellermann And Bean
Unconfident, chill and clueless Eugene is *REFRESHING.*
And honestly a fucking funny Eugene to watch.
Black Sheep He was the same way in the sushi episode...so funny! I think he’s just so much more comfortable in his own skin than he was when they started.
I love how mind blown he was when he saw how Kurt replayed the whole match from memory even with a blindfold on. He was all like "Wtf that is genius" and it works like that.
Kurt in this video: *thinks*
me: ok but like that's hot
^^
C S thank god I’m not the only one 😂
😬 my toes are curling
The fact that he is blindfolded makes me more excited ;)
lol same
Ned played incredibly well - I put the endgame in Stockfish and at no point was he losing (it hovered around equal to +1.0). It was +0.3 when he offered a draw.
at 4:25 a girl walks in, sees the camera and backs out immediately. just made me laugh :)
I was waiting for someone to point this out
@@betohax same.
then we can see her walking past anyway :D
@@betohax i had same thinking too
I accidentally just commented that😳 takes it down*
Ned: *plays most chess*
Keith: *chess champ 6th grade*
Zach: *played in first grade*
Eugene: “Oh yeah, that’s the building and the Jesus top and the....”
LMAOOOO ikr
Darslit im ur 666th like since im satan
Lol can't stop laughing
Kurt quietly reciting his moves is incredibly attractive.
I find this comment unnecessary but God Damn do I agree with you
It was... like idk what I was feeling but I wanted to hear him talk more
YESSSS SO TRUE OMG
Bet that's his bedroom voice😏😂
@@emiha13 IT REALLY WAS AND THATS ALL I COULD THINK ABOUTTTT
He's everything benedict cumberbatch's Sherlock wanted to be
YOU'RE RIGHTTTTT
Yale graduate, incredible musician, and Chess master. Life isn’t fair.
And handsome too
Fajar loa very handsome 😂
And he speaks Chinese
I love how ur profile pic says stop complaining but ur whole comment is a complaint about life
and he majored in mathematics!
“Not sure if there is even any songs about chess”
Chess the musical: “am I a joke to you?”
Bengt Bagels if you’re asking what the musical is, it is a Tony-nominated musical by Benny Anderson (from ABBA), Björn Ulvaeus (also from ABBA), and Tim Rice (who also co-wrote the music for the Lion King, Billy Elliot, and Jesus Christ Superstar to name a few) about a chess match at the height of the Cold War between American and USSR world champions. It has been performed on the west end, on broadway, and on multiple tours since the concept album debut in 1984. It’s most notable songs include “I Know Him So Well” and “One Night In Bangkok”. Original cast included leading lady of west end theatre Elaine Paige. It’s good, I highly recommend you look into it.
Checkmate by Conan Gray: Um...??
Legit my reaction, the disrespect. smh
Or Random Encounters, Markiplier, and MatPat in How to Beat a Monkey at Chess.
I get my kicks above the waistline sunshine
I knew Kurt was a genius just from watching his “I make this song out of these weird objects” videos, but this was incredible to watch. Holy shit
and he speaks mandarin fluently
Thats exactly what i was thinking
AND I think he speaks 5 languages fluently
AND he made a really good Ash when teaming up with Lindsey Stirling for their rendition/music video of the Pokemon theme...boy got him some TALENT!
@@audreywong7494 HE DOES WHAT????
I love that Keith and Zach are like *gasp* and Eugene is like "I'm so lost"
Best quotes:
“yaaaaasss queen!”
“Nooooo queen!”
“He’s gonna mate with you on your next move.”
you forgot "he's a master bater"
AeVision omg yas
Eugene to Ned: “Good job son”
AeVision You forgot the “I don’t think I’ve done anything 2,000 times.. well.. one thing”
13:08
lmao when Ned said “he’s a college friend of mine” I went “oh so two people from the same university became famous, what are the odds?!” and then they said “YALE-OFF” I was like “oh…”
lol
@SpiritsMC5 YT Yale is like a really good college
SpiritsMC5 YT not necessarily famous but just successful in what they major in
@@SpiritsMC5YT Or, in relation to the thousands of other university, Yale would be more likely to have multiple famous grads off the same batch.
@@SpiritsMC5YT Lol no, It's just an ivy league school. Their alumni includes Presidents. So they attract a lot of people that will eventually go on and do something with their lives on a large scale politically. And then theatrically, Yale has a top rated acting school so they have a lot of famous alumni acting.
This guy is a musician and a chess master. That’s unfair God. He is a more talented musician than most pop artists these days.
AND he went to an ivy league
@@mgc38 It'd be easy for him to go to an Ivy League if he states how good he is at chess, and that he is really into music. It's great for the reputation of the Ivy League schools and their chess teams as well as musical groups.
he also speaks like five languages, he is crazy smart
FLUENT CHINESE PEOPLE. HE SPEAKS FLUENT CHINESE
AliCirilo JESUS HOW WHAT
Oof why is Kurt speaking softly blindfolded and being so smart doing it for me?
Me, alone, under my breath: “...wtf is that Kurt Schneider “
Me, alone under my breath: I've seen that guy somewhere before
Same, I didnt know he was a chess master
I love his videos and I knew I recognized him, but I didn't believe until he introduced himself
666th like hell yeah
SAME
"One of my sacrificial lambs to E4."
"I'll also play Pawn to E5."
funniest shit ever
Keith: “Also we’re all gonna dress like we’re in The Matrix”

This is the first video with Ned that I have watched since the news dropped - and I wasn't sure how I would feel, but to be honest - I still enjoyed it, but maybe it's because Ned was actually focused for real in this video instead of trying to be funny.
I really am trying to avoid the Ned comments. I just wanna watch videos in peace and maybe with a little pain. But I agree, I was gonna comment on how you can see the change in his expression: While playing chess he's extremely focused, and not even what's happening next to him can phase him. After the match, he returns to doing exagerated expressions. That's something.
@@Odhil95 I think I am finding that I can still appreciate the videos for what they are with Ned - that it doesn't change my opinion of the video - they're still great videos of four (sometimes 3) best friends doing weird/funny/kooky/crazy things together.
I hate him but honestly his “that’s chess…🤨” at 2:38 is still so funny to me 😭
