I’m conflicted because I like falling asleep to NL videos, but his chess gameplay is so pog it keeps me up. How am I meant to sleep when the high octane gameplay never stops?
NL, you don't have to speed through the analysis, I don't think anyone's getting bored. It's interesting to do deep dives into games/other lines and both you and the audience learn more from it. Still loving the series, just am pogged for analysis.
Thank you for going back to 10 minute. 3 minute is too fast for me to think about your moves and I find myself completely lost because I'm not good enough at chess to follow. 10 min is a great balance for me.
The key thing is that your brain is fast enough for 3 minute, but at 10 minute you basically play 5 minute while giving great commentary with the other half of your time. That's a good balance.
One Levy lesson and hes drawin lines across the board like the new Egg Ross painting across a beautiful canvas for the pogs to rain upon I miss the good days when NL gave us commenters hearts
I've never watched any of your other content before, but you're quickly becoming my favourite chess youtuber! (behind GingerGM of course). I'm glad you're continuing to make more chess vids :)
I'd be interested in seeing NL doing puzzles. I wonder how many times he'll call the computer crazy after failing one. He seems to be pretty good with openings but psyches himself out as the game goes on which who knows maybe puzzles will help him out
The very first couple of chess episodes were puzzles, around a month and a half ago. He did puzzle rush and got to around 1.3k ish elo before losing every time
@@dombi7972 I can't believe I missed those videos. I started watching from "Playing chess for the first time in 15 years" and assumed that was the first in the "series"
You never play waiting moves. in that last game you were waiting for him to attack and never even considered improving your kingsside pawns to force their hand
Yes by him thinking too much now. Losing on time management both times. Thinking too hard on attacks and not defense now, and not taking pieces or trading as much
Man that endgame in the first game was one of the most complicated I've ever seen (I guess it's technically not an endgame since both queens, all the rooks, and three minor pieces were still on the board, but it feels weird saying it's still the middlegame). I put the position where you began your breakthrough into the king's position into Stockfish and it was extremely difficult for white to win unless black makes a serious blunder, and all but impossible for anyone but a GM to win with only 2 minutes left on the clock, since the sequence of moves assuming perfect play is so long until white can mate black. You fared much better there than I would've, that's for sure. Really cool game, though!
not sure what the "donka donka" thing is but it always reminds me of the one of three prerecorded lines of male twilek dialogue in Knights of the Old Republic
That was a fantastic sequence in the last game to win material. It's unfortunate that it does not win the game, but that is the kind of thing you can only predict with some intense endgame study under your belt as well as more time left on the clock.
15|10 would be nice just because he wouldn't be as trapped by a low time limit in the end game. I know 15 minutes is too long for two games per episode but an increment helps so much with endgames and would give him time to talk out each move.
My entire steam library is full of games that I’ve bought because I was getting frustrated at NL playing them. I started playing chess as well for the same reason, but damn, he’s actually so good at this game
Dear NL, the Reti opening lacks center control because one of the foundational theories of the hypermodern school that the Reti comes from is that a large center can actually be a burden for the player controlling it, due to how many places a large center can be attacked from.
the analysis of the game around 19 minutes is a brilliant demonstration of just how laughably bad even a fairly competent chess player like Egg is. Every single move is a game changing swing, almost every predictions of the best move is wrong, mate in more then 2-3 moves et c. Wonderful
Look at this way, if you scramble the AI’s eggs then you know you must have been on to something. Incidentally, I think it was a good gambit, you probably just need to play around with it a little bit to see how the pieces fit together but you should feel good that you had an interesting idea that could be something powerful with a little more refinement.
For my own benefit, missed win at 12:30? If rook checks and knight takes rook than E6 is checkmate? Edit: Nevermind bishop takes. Still think NL is teaching me well.
It's the circle of life: -NL takes some time to plan out a series of moves. -I get hyped, then impatient and skip up to watch the play unfold. "JuSt MaKe ThE mOvE" I think to myself. -NL does the first move, then realizes there's a flaw preventing the play from properly working (in this case, that knight). -I lean back and wonder why NL is such a big dum egg who didn't see that coming.
Regarding your analogy at around 14:35 I bet 11 times on the same color. Lost 10 times to the opposite color. My last 11th loss was on green, 0. 50/50 means nothing. Just my luck ...
Am I the only one who thinks NL thinks way too hard on "if they take..." mentality, and then they do something other than taking and NL's brain goes "wut?"
Can I get a pog in the chat? Also, I must agree with everyone else. This chess format is perfection right now. Moving it to twitch/vods would detract from that.

When's Levy's Binding of Issac lesson?
Supposedly NL played some Among Us with Dan and Levy, but I haven’t seen it posted up on RUclips.
Before the NLSS

This is something I did not know I needed in my life
>he didn't spot the mate in 17
Embarrassing really.
And here I thought he was on his way to 2900 Elo, guess I was wrong.
I wouldn't imagine watching this is anywhere near as fun if you are good at chess.

> I try to make attacking and defensive moves at the same time
and he calls himself a grandmaster

I feel this so much.
Use NLSS to sleep, chess pog to wake up 🤔 that's what I so
I was telling my fam this week about "thin deck daddy" I miss thin deck daddy.. BUT gotta love "let's get weird" NL
NL, you don't have to speed through the analysis, I don't think anyone's getting bored. It's interesting to do deep dives into games/other lines and both you and the audience learn more from it.
Still loving the series, just am pogged for analysis.
Agreed. Especially skipping over stuff like the missed win rook move near the end of the first game. But as long as NL is having fun I'm happy
Still the best series ever conceived

Please dont move chess to twitch vods. These are so perfect as is.
Seriously. I don't have twitch and never really wanted one... I can't build my schedule around live videos of gameplay.
@@imacanoli897 Vods are the recordings of livestreams. So afaik you can watch whenever you want
@@dingusrevolver but they are typically between 1 and 3 hours long. An absurd time committment for anyone over the age of 16 if you ask me.
NL frequently cuts up twitch vods into bite sized videos, so it wouldn't really make a difference
@@Monkeytoes704 You don't have to commit to watching a VOD all at once.
Finally, NL allows me to eat

An *actual* Egg's Gambit, now this is real chess gaming hours!
9:19
NL realizes that he Almost Played
a Botez Gambit there. 😂🤣
5:20 OMG, did he actually do it?!
I hope this is one of the youtube series that stays.... it’s so good!
Dude my mans leveled up hugely in this vid, great stuff
You never play waiting moves. in that last game you were waiting for him to attack and never even considered improving your kingsside pawns to force their hand
I'm hyped to see you play the stuff you went over in the last lesson with Levy, keep it up :)
Hope you keep this series up, I'm hella enjoying it
I'm loving this series. Got me back into playing chess.
Please keep this series as is, I love it.
Hey Egg, love your stuff. I would suggest going over to 15-10 just because it enables you to be much more relaxed without it being too slow.
I'm so proud egg boi found a line that forked rooks.
If this is the first episode after the latest Levi lesson you can definitely tell a difference
Yes by him thinking too much now. Losing on time management both times. Thinking too hard on attacks and not defense now, and not taking pieces or trading as much
@@TheSarcasticKing99 that's the nl way.
The moment he takea critique/learns something new, the old ways get tossed out the door.
15:23 Take the pawn, march the king C1 and D2 after the Queen-Check

"Goddamit how did you miss this 12 move win sequence?" -Mr. Stockfish
“Instead of that, we get two birds stoned at once” 🚬 🐦 25:25
also NL can u please turn on the "show lines" button in analysis!!
not sure what the "donka donka" thing is but it always reminds me of the one of three prerecorded lines of male twilek dialogue in Knights of the Old Republic
Congrats to the guy I just played with a 1.6% accuracy vs my 1.3% accuracy. GG.
Can you be unhappy watching this? (Chess)
If you start the video unhappy lol
That was a fantastic sequence in the last game to win material. It's unfortunate that it does not win the game, but that is the kind of thing you can only predict with some intense endgame study under your belt as well as more time left on the clock.
analysis owns. I really enjoy the chance to see why I was wrong about what you should have done.
Is it time for the Vienna stomp?
This feeling when u fall sleep in 2022 and wake up to bearded NL 2020 ~Amazin
the second game was pretty good, yeah. you noticed some advanced positional concepts, such as the knight outpost - gg.
Best series my gord has been pogged !
First game black showed your attack the absolute maximum disrespect with a4 a5 a6
Loving these vids. Subbed just for the chess
I can sense it, this is just the Pogchamps training arc
He's way too good to be in pogchamps. It wouldn't even be fair. I feel like they can't have people who play so much.
Don't know how possible/interesting it would actually be, but I would be pogged out the gourd for a 15/10 or even 30/0 series of games in the future
15|10 would be nice just because he wouldn't be as trapped by a low time limit in the end game. I know 15 minutes is too long for two games per episode but an increment helps so much with endgames and would give him time to talk out each move.
the Dunka Gambit
My entire steam library is full of games that I’ve bought because I was getting frustrated at NL playing them. I started playing chess as well for the same reason, but damn, he’s actually so good at this game
Missed mate in 12 = Egg Scrambit Declined
NL spending 3 minutes and several moves setting up a plan that blunders his queen in one move is so frustrating i cant look away
Ah my daily dose of egg
NL's worst enemy: Talking
Northern " if it's forced it's good" lion
NL has become one of those Queen-side Castle fetishers 😆

16:01 what if u just take the pawn with your king? Won't get mate...
10min games are pure pog
Baron Egg playing the beautiful game is tickety-boo!
When he got to around a three minutes deficit while having already identified a line that would leave him up a pawn...I said 'hm'
yes Kreygasm
Pogged for the dunka-dunka
Man took 3 minutes in 10 a sid e chess thinking out trades just for the opponent to push a pawn and ignore it all.
Pogchess!

I can be happy with losses where I don't blunder nor lost on time but my opponent simply was very smart to beat me
Win or lose The eggs gambit is always big pog

For my own benefit, missed win at 12:30? If rook checks and knight takes rook than E6 is checkmate?

I love it.... I mean...... POGGERS
I'm sorry you didn't go through the 11 steps to see the mate at 19:00

50/50 means nothing. Just my luck ...
Aight dad, time to get weird
I'd like to see some 15min&10s in order to get that nice during-the-game chess talk
I bet NL would blow the competition out of the water if he didn't need to focus on entertaining us
It's mate in 12 obviously!!
Great games in this video!!!
i think i'm seeing improvements
Am I the only one who thinks NL thinks way too hard on "if they take..." mentality, and then they do something other than taking and NL's brain goes "wut?"
It's a common mistake. I think they call it "hope chess"
BRO WHY DOES HE TAKE 50 SECONDS FOR EVERY MOVE LIKE MY GOD-
dunka, dunka, dunka... dunka, dunka? dunka?? i dunno is a little hot
If you learn something then it’s not a loss.
Yes (Chess)
I am trying that m8 in 12 in the checkered board lads
Time is a dimension of the game. If you use all your time and have a winning position, but not the time to convert it, you played worse.
Chess is a great game...be prepared to lose a lot of games as it definitely tests a person's perseverance.
PUSH D3 MY LORD

Was king's indian covered in the last lesson?
If you're going to offer a draw, do it during their turn, otherwise it's obvious that you're unconfident.
