I like to comment on NL’s videos about the parts I enjoyed because maybe one day he’ll reply and say “Thanks Dog” and I’ll say “no problem dog” and it’ll be really really cool EDIT: today’s moment is pee-empowered NL starting at 25:12, pure gold. The rant at the end 😂
I was scared post-baby NL content would dip in quality and quantity but this mad man finds a way to entertain us plebians for free anyway with high poggers content
I watched this on twitch and went hell yeah pog. A day later watched it again on TH-cam. Gourds still getting pogged. God bless me having the memory of a goldfish.
when the opponent took your a2 pawn with his bishop ( 26:00 -ish), his bishop could have been trapped with b3. That a pawn was poisoned, a useful tactic to know. But bladder mate is also a good way to end the game!
yea, that was crazy. one moment he notifies us that he wants to pee, so I think within the next few hours he will pause the stream. nah, a few seconds later he is complaining about his kidneys and I though, given that speed the pee will start coming out of his mouth in 3,2,...
He's only a year or two older than me (one of the two, I forget which), which makes him either 31 or 32. Unless he's got a family history of prostate cancer he's still got another 18 years before that becomes at all a likely issue. He was probably just not noticing that he had to go because he was hyper-focused on the game--ADD (or ADHD) style, then when it looked like he was going to win his brain interrupted him with "Hey by the way, you super gotta pee". I do that all the time. I'll finally beat a boss in Dark Souls or something after trying for an hour and then suddenly realize that my neck hurts, I'm starving, and I've apparently had to pee for at least half an hour.
sorry Julian, next time I will give periodic bladder updates about how I'm feeling minute-to-minute rather than just saying I need to pee when I have to go and making you nervous
32:50 The reason why 1...h6 works is because 2. Bh4 g5. And now, white is no longer pinning the knight to the queen. This comes up commonly in a Semi-Slav line I know as well. Leads to crazy positions, but is generally easier to play for white unless black knows his book
After Bxa2 at 26:02 you can push b3 and trap the bishop behind the pawns. Rc8, Kb2. You have to defend c2 or the knight to actually capture the bishop, but it blocks his bishop out of the game and his rook is tied to threatening c2. It's a fun pattern to look out for on Bxa2/Bxh2.
The checkmate while needing to go to the bathroom was reminiscent of Joey's successful audition for Jeff Goldblum in Friends :) "You sow the seeds and ... "
at 38:00 yes the bishop is trapped but when he says move the bishop he means take the pawn with the bishop... the bishop and the knight are lost so you should grab the pawn before it is. Believe this is a tactic called a 'Desperado'.
At 7:44, if instead of using the knight to go for that bishop in g7 with check, your opponent had moved his dark square bishop to g5, he would have trapped your queen
How do we get ourselves out of this bucket of syrup might be the most Canadian thing I've heard you say yet. Also this episode was making me laugh the hardest I ever have at one of your videos. I almost spit out my hot chocolate.
Maybe it’s a stylistic difference but I feel like he could be more aggressive in a lot of these games. He gets an advantage then kinda stalls out and lets his opponents reinforce and develop rather than pressing the advantage. Then again we’re rated basically the same
You had a really nice way to win that first game or at least come back from that first fork with the white knight. By checking with the bishop threatened by the knight and sacrificing it.
7:30 it is better to give up a rook if you are winning a piece in exchange rather than letting him take the bishop for free (i.e. its better to lose the exchange than to lose a whole minor piece with no compensation) also your rook was un active and bishop was on a long diagonal
At 20:45 is there a reason not to play Queen to G3? It pressures the G pawn while allowing yourself to respond to pawn takes E5 by taking with your F pawn without endangering the queen.
hey nl, i know its only one mans opignion but i would personally be pogged up to see 15 to 20 minute games (not much longer tho if im being honest) but hey keep doing what you want loving the current content
NL in the start of the series "Who would ever castle Queen's side?" NL now in most games "Let's castle Queen's side, go full cavan mode and do a pawnstorm attack at their king"
NL: "Now, I don't expect you to understand this move. That's okay" NL, five seconds later: "Now no matter what I do he either gets the bishop or the fork!" (If you are wondering, NL thought he could pin the knight to the king with the queen and get it for free, but the opponent didn't take the bait and moved the king)
In many ways these are more fun than watching levy or Hikaru. Your thought process is similar to mine, which give me hope I can elevate from my current 900 elo. Your attitude is great too. Thank you
NL, playing consistently suboptimally does not require making terrible mistakes. You just have to make a bunch of little ones. There's no reason to be surprised about 18.7 percent accuracy without any blunders.
Bruh. I also just learned how to mate with rook and king the other day. It’s not intuitive at all LOL That was really solid OH also that instant knight check to fork the king and rook. I wouldn’t have seen it that fast. Would probably traded rooks like a dumbo.
16:12 u didnt think about the fork with the Knight. I can go Nb5 forcing the king to castle.. Then going c3 and solidifying ur pawns or going Nc7 regardless and taking the trapped rook
That Caro-Kann position you had in the first game is super duper weird. It’s so unnatural to play the main line. So the “mainline” is actually to take his pawn, get taken by the knight, place your knight out for a trade, and then take with the... I think queens pawn? I forget which of the two, but that’s all book. Never would have figured that out on my own ._. Edit: looking at it now, I think it’s actually your g pawn you take with opening your rook. Maybe. LOL I dunno I need to go back and watch Levy’s course. I prefer when the opponent takes or does the advance variation 100%. It just feels better
“I GOTTA PEE!... but im also thirsty” its almost like you got forked by your own body
i burst out laughing at this moment
It also could be a pin of one versus another :) lets not talk about skewering :)
I could watch eggman play chess and sporcle quizzes all day

The way this man went from totally fine to immediately needing to pee is kinda worrying

Caro-Kann rule: if he leaves the e4 pawn, you take it. The whole opening is designed around control of the e4 square

Hello, algorithm overlords
NL stream yourself going through some openings as a chess novice it would be super poggy
finally, I was refreshing my youtube feed for the NL CONTENT all day lol
edit: AND IT WAS WORTH THE WAIT POG
What an absolute chad, NL about to Scholar Mate his bladder, takes a sip anyway.
10/10 peak hydration.
The two things Ryan did best when he was 9 years old:
Performing the Ladder mate (King+Tower)
Almost peeing himself.
at 38:00 yes the bishop is trapped but when he says move the bishop he means take the pawn with the bishop... the bishop and the knight are lost so you should grab the pawn before it is. Believe this is a tactic called a 'Desperado'.
I like the twitch vods way more than the normal videos. Since now other people can tell him what to do every time he messes up
At 7:44, if instead of using the knight to go for that bishop in g7 with check, your opponent had moved his dark square bishop to g5, he would have trapped your queen
It eats me up every time NL does "where's he gonna move, there? Doesn't bother me"
This is exactly what I needed after a long day
Full Bladder Checkmate Chess Lion is a frighteningly pog form

I’ll say not a huge fan of twitch streams on TH-cam, but I have to say I am pog that we get to see the twitch exclusive pee segments. Very pog
When that knight was wrecking your shit in the first game, Bg5 would have trapped your Queen.
I love how childhood chess master NL keeps getting younger and younger.
"I need to pee" NL is by far my favorite recent character
Maybe it’s a stylistic difference but I feel like he could be more aggressive in a lot of these games. He gets an advantage then kinda stalls out and lets his opponents reinforce and develop rather than pressing the advantage. Then again we’re rated basically the same
The eggman is leading us out West for the great pogrush of 2021 - be prepared to experience hitherto unknown levels of pog.

“Bladder mate”
Got me good
I SAID GOOD DAY SIR, I SAID GOOD DAY!
You had a really nice way to win that first game or at least come back from that first fork with the white knight.

This was the greatest bladder mate of all time
"give 'em the fork"
-NL January 10th, 2021
hold on a minute, did you place that ad during the toilet break, or is that a miraculous coincidence- because great timing
Oh man the panicked pee-filled dub had me dying
NL in the start of the series
"Who would ever castle Queen's side?"
NL now in most games
"Let's castle Queen's side, go full cavan mode and do a pawnstorm attack at their king"
27:37 The more NL needs to pee, the more he turns into Dan Gheesling... Fascinating!
yes of course, the legendary bladder mate
26:05 should have pushed the b pawn one up so that the bishop is trapped
As fun as all the "bladder mate" puns are, that was actually a box mate. Ladder mate requires a second rook or queen.
NL: "Now, I don't expect you to understand this move. That's okay"
NL, five seconds later: "Now no matter what I do he either gets the bishop or the fork!"
(If you are wondering, NL thought he could pin the knight to the king with the queen and get it for free, but the opponent didn't take the bait and moved the king)
an unbelievably pogged game
1500 elo Thanos ignored bladder screaming in order to ensure a destructive victory.
Guaranteed title for tomorrow's daily chess

In many ways these are more fun than watching levy or Hikaru. Your thought process is similar to mine, which give me hope I can elevate from my current 900 elo. Your attitude is great too. Thank you

"I said good day sir, I said good day".
Your bishop was actually trapped, cause the queen now covered the pawn
Didn’t know Hikaru went bald, huh
This is your Levi brain 14:20
aayyyy NorthernChair, welcome back been a min
4:57 If he played Bishop f5 you could have snacked the bishop with Queen a5
Bruh. I also just learned how to mate with rook and king the other day. It’s not intuitive at all LOL
That was really solid
OH also that instant knight check to fork the king and rook. I wouldn’t have seen it that fast. Would probably traded rooks like a dumbo.
On move 11 of the first game after the knight move, opponent could have pushed g4 and trapped bishop because the queen supported the pawn.
16:12 u didnt think about the fork with the Knight. I can go Nb5 forcing the king to castle.. Then going c3 and solidifying ur pawns or going Nc7 regardless and taking the trapped rook
To think watching a dad play chess and needing to pee in the endgame would be so entertaining
Move 13, I'm over here screaming bishop to f6 and accept your queen getting yeeted but I don't play chess so maybe that's somehow worse.
The weirdness giveth, the weirdness taketh away
Your clock getting lower and lower makes me anxious 😂
4:30 white can’t take the pawn because of your Qa5+ threat
I feel like no surprise NL got more zanny when he was holding it in. Was both entertaining but also felt bad cause have had that happen before.
I wish I’d learned the ladder mate thingy when I was a kid.
40 minutes of chess greatness
He couldn't take the f5 pawn on move 9 because you have Qa5+ winning the bishop if he does.
i would love to see more chess
That Caro-Kann position you had in the first game is super duper weird. It’s so unnatural to play the main line.
So the “mainline” is actually to take his pawn, get taken by the knight, place your knight out for a trade, and then take with the... I think queens pawn? I forget which of the two, but that’s all book. Never would have figured that out on my own ._.

Love your chess videos
It actually took NL 69 seconds (give or take) to go pee lol.
First the ladder, then the blader
I just won a game in 10 moves playing the "Ware opening" (1.A4)... Didn't realize that was a named opening i was just memeing.
Bishops on A2 can be trapped with B3.
