Love to see more chess content! Some opening backseating 6:45: My understanding of the caro cann is that the whole point is to allow the light squared bishop out of the pawn chain. If you block in the bishop and play c5, you're essentially just playing the french having spent a tempo playing c6 and subsequently c5, instead of just c5 in one move Luckily they immediately traded off your bad bishop, justifying the decision lol
*Loses long time control* "What are we doing?! We need to go back to shorter times where I thrive" *Loses short time control* "We must go back" XD. All in jest, I absolutely love the chess content, I'm stoked to watch every single video
Egg my 800 rated ass has some great end game tips, when I have a 2 or 3 piece advantage I like to attack from multiple angles give my opponent the stalemate and then log off! Works everytime! Keep the chess coming
This is a lot of fun, seeing normal people play makes me feel a bit better about my own mediocrity. It's rare that I get to say "take the hanging piece!"
@15:00 this legend pre moved not only missing a hung queen but also in turn, hanging his own queen in a single move. nl you never cease to amaze me, god bless
19:45 Qe1+ (followed be either Qf1, Qxf1# or Kg2, Nh4# would have been devastating and cool for the opponent. And I the only one who would love if NL stopped going "this game/part of game was embarrassing lets not look at analysis" and just did take at least a quick look. Lots of the fun stuff is understanding what went right and what went wrong I feel. Anyway love the chess content
Ok real talk I put so much effort into openings, I'm like 1200, but the first couple games made me question how I am still so shit and so low elo when this is what 1400's play like. Love you NL
Adore the chess content. Personally prefer you going through the analysis yourself rather than the auto-generated match recap, which feels like it misses a lot of pog, but either way just happy to see some chess.
Black Queen to c1 and checks king, white blocks with queen on d1, black takes queen and check again, white blocks with knight, queen takes knight and checkmate right?
It's sad that chess doesn't get as many views as your other content. Would love to see chess regularly
It’s possible he’s at a point that viewership won’t determine what he decides to play
Yea I think views (/subscriptions) are wayyy more relevant on twitch
@@wierdguy84 Pretty sure it still does
I mean, Isaac consistently does worse and he still does it because he enjoys it.
Its less than other videos but not by much. This one ofc has low views right bc it has just recently been uploaded
'We should mostly be concerned with just playing well' to blundering a piece and resigning next move was perfect 11:20
Not to mention he had a guaranteed mate like two moves before that, right? Lol
Thats what I think every time before a blunder too
@@BigDaddyWes no, the white queen could've blocked at f1
@@seek__on Yes but it could be taken for free, leading to another check, the knight could do the same - Thats why its actually mate in 3
Especially considering he had mate lined up at 10:40
13:44 NL has such a way with words. "Am I- I... At the ver- NOBODY... I never wanna be accused of being boring." Brings a tear to my eye
'I need to save my Bishop.'
*proceeds to self fork that Bishop with the Queen*
and then when the knight wasn't taking the queen I thought I had missed something and I was losing my mind
@@ZENsLORE Maybe it was some sort of 7D Chess moment Queen Sacrifice that gives Mate in 107
@@ZENsLORE I legit spent about 5 minutes trying to compute why the opponnent didn't instantly take it. I was so confused
NL: “We should mostly be concerned with just playing well.”
Also NL: immediately hangs his rook
and missed mate 1 move before that
"I'm cracked in the endgame?"
20:25 opponent hangs knight for no reason, Enelle doesn't take
He's something in the endgame
Cracked (derogatory)
Love to see more chess content!

I don't get it. Why doesn't your king have a shotgun?
*Loses long time control*
"What are we doing?! We need to go back to shorter times where I thrive"

"We must go back"
XD. All in jest, I absolutely love the chess content, I'm stoked to watch every single video
Gotta boost the chess statistics so it sticks around. Love the series NL !

Keep the chess coming
Wait, we're also doing off-stream chess videos? Let's freaking go man. 10/10 content, thank you for these videos.
Me: never plays chess or has much of an interest in it
NL: *plays chess*
Me: I must drop absolutely everything to watch this man play chess
1400 level chess leaves the queen hanging for 4 moves.
First game was a quiet, positional masterpiec- AAAAAAA!!!
Im so happy the chess vids are back. I was going back and rewatching the old ones
20:24 😭
I felt pain
Am i wrong in thinking he had a backrank mate at 10:28 by just moving his queen to C1? Whatever opponent used to block he could take it.
Queen f1 stops it
After watching yesterday's video, was awesome seeing the last one in this video. Great game you played NL!!!
"We should mostly be concerned with just playing well"
~1 second later~
*Hangs rook*
Some of my favorite content right here
This is a lot of fun, seeing normal people play makes me feel a bit better about my own mediocrity. It's rare that I get to say "take the hanging piece!"
Always good to see Egg arguing with the computer analysis because he's obviously right and the computer is wrong.
10:28 missed M3 with Qc1+. White queen and Knight can block but it's back rank.
When I was 900 I thought 1200s were impossibly good and heres a couple 1400s not noticing that a queen is hanging for 4 moves
@15:00 this legend pre moved not only missing a hung queen but also in turn, hanging his own queen in a single move. nl you never cease to amaze me, god bless
Lovin the chill chess vids!
I have never heard so many different ways to say "I'm screwed" in one video
loving the chess content, thanks NL
I’m happy to see chess again! I hope slower games or survival puzzle rush makes an appearance soon!
YESSSSS THIS IS WHAT I NEEDED
Pls algorithm more chess
paused this video on a queen c8 move and wondered why NL was spending so long thinking about it until i realized the timer wasn't ticking down
Here you go, chess analytics. Give more pls
26:59 "if I was the engine I'd give myself plus .75 right now
engine rates position at -0.7, he's cracked?
19:45 Qe1+ (followed be either Qf1, Qxf1# or Kg2, Nh4# would have been devastating and cool for the opponent.
And I the only one who would love if NL stopped going "this game/part of game was embarrassing lets not look at analysis" and just did take at least a quick look. Lots of the fun stuff is understanding what went right and what went wrong I feel. Anyway love the chess content
NL's got a bad case of knight blindness 😂
The queen hang was hilarious like they just didn't see it at all, it seems? unpunished entirely
Love the series
At 20:00 if black checked whites king on e1 with the queen and played knight check on h4 he would have won nl's queen
Love chess content!!
I haven't... Kept up with all the chess. But I think that 3:44 might be the worst move I've ever seen Enelle play
If you want you can also do some puzzles. Those can be entertaining and fun and also helpful in pattern recognition.
dude needs to analyze some of these losses
Looking at your fuckups afterwards is one of the most fun parts please keep looking at them ! :)
14:13 am i crazy to think knight to g5 threatens mate in one with then a queen to h7 if they dont move pawn to f6 ?
1:07. This strikes me as a really bad attack. *plays b6, trapping his queen to b4, losing his queen*
I'm so happy that chess is back
Chess is one of the few series Nl does where I have no room to stand on to criticize him. He would blow me out 100/100 times if we played chess.
I love these videos
Bumping engagement

chess is truly incredible
The fact the The Cycle is getting more views than chess is criminal
I feel sorry for anyone that puts themselves through this..,
20:05 i think opponent can just go Qe1 Nh4 and win the queen
I hope the chess content keeps on coming
commenting to up number so that maybe NL uploads more
Another chess. Let's go
My brother in Christ I'm pretty sure you straight missed mate in 1 at 10:30.
Had to scroll for a while to find someone else who saw it
Not in 1 (other pieces still block), but yes.
Ah true the knight and queen can block my bad
@@Giannifred mate in 3 still, and a very straightforward one. The egg done goofed up
@@alexchimi7093 no the queen can block f1, so it's just a trade at that point
This was pure chaos, lol
Ahhh chess, the oldest game played by the oldest streamer. Thanks for the Pog!
Chess is back baaaby!
Chess pog
NL setting up an attack that just results in trades and massive waste of tempo because he likes to showcase how a pin works compilation
13:57 checkmate in 3 on bishop G5
You: BG5
HIM: BG5
YOU KG5
HIM: KG3
YOU:QH7
Checkmate
Could have done it in 2 at 14:14 too
He do be cracked
He's back!!!
Chess content is so pog
I think levy would have died if he saw him play 3. e6 in the advance caro.
Boy I love me some chess
5 minutes in & NL has already lost to what appears to have been a child
Chess is the best NL content
Comment to make NL happy with how chess performs on the channel :)
Can we get a NL chess blunder montage for instant hilarity?
More chess!
Not taking the free knight at 20:27 hurt me inside.
Chess is lit
Love it
Why am I watching these? I don't even play Canadian Shogi
I don’t play chess, can someone explain why at 4:04 the opponent doesn’t take the queen?
I don't think there's any reason besides the opponent not seeing it.
Comment for the algorithm,chess is Pog content
13:44
moarchessplz
Chess.

chess
10:30
Let's go
commenting for the algorithm. chess is based
isn't 10:30 just a backrank mate?
Chess pogtent
Pog
Please. Please talk to Levy about how you play the Caro Kann. It hurts my eyes
Amazing content! You should consider collaborating with Gotham Chess!
commenting for engagement baby girl
Am I dumb, or did he just miss a forced mate in 2/3 at 10:35?
Black Queen to c1 and checks king, white blocks with queen on d1, black takes queen and check again, white blocks with knight, queen takes knight and checkmate right?
@@KITRONIX111 I checked comments for the same reason, but I think white queen to f1 prevents mate :)
@@matowy96 Oh you're right! Even so, would have gave him a nice advantage. I definitely would have gotten checkmated if that was me 😂
