actually scratch that. i wanna see Levy 2 hour epic 170 elo lesson! HAHAHA! but... imagine if Dan's elo is raised to 1000! that would be more than a 5-fold increase!!
the way he moves the pieces like he has to physically drop them on the squares from the height of his 3 dimensional mouse pointer after dangling them over the square for 5 seconds kinda makes me uncomfortable
Calling knights horsies is a pivotal step in chess mastery. Now he just needs to call his bishops AWPs and his pawns juicers and take Hikaru's place as a super GM
Verbalizing it and effectively communicating it to the audience takes a minimum amount of time. NL can definitely internally analyze it at the speed the game was played.
"horse. well, can't believe I'm calling it a horse now too- the knight..." This episode is filled with gems, from both sides. Time to wipe these tears off. :')
"the move from the Bishop to a different coloured square was ambitious, to say the least"... I can't put into words how grateful I am that this video popped up on my recommended
"If you have no plan, why is it taking so long to make each move?" That is exactly the reason, if he had a plan, he could spend a second per move, but without a plan, he has to grind his gears :)
I think half of those two hours will be spent by Dan having to explain his terminology to Levy, considering how NLs vocabulary already confused him here and there
As a triple digit rated player myself, I can tell you that the difference between 186 and 322 is that the 300 player knows how the pieces move, and the 180 player tries to move their bishop to the opposite color diagonal
@@shay2129 IMO there's a difference between "not being as cruel an asshole as possible" and "being nice". I know internet vitriol and brashness dulls people's sensitivities but... I dunno, that's just my take.
@@tristanstrain9751 You're taking this way too seriously. Of course there's a difference we were just saying NL was pretty tame with the roasting lol. They're good friends, not strangers.

@@shay2129 Ey bro, I understand~ My original comment was mentioning how I know they're friends. I have no problem with the roasting~ I was just saying I wouldn't call it "being nice" :P The rest of it between you and I kind of turned into it's own discussion. But yeah, it's not that serious~
1:42 After Qh5+ g6 you haven't rebuffed the attack, Nxg6 wins material because h7 pawn is pinned to the black rook by the queen. Very good tactic to be aware of.
Come on NL, if you're going to make reaction videos, you need to make your titles much more clickbait CHESS PRODIGY REACTS TO 170 ELO REALITY TV STAR (YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENS)
1:20 In that position Qh5+ is crushing. Black has three legal moves: a) g6 leads to Nxg6 and whatever Black does White takes the Rook (with the Knight or with the Queen if Black takes the Knight). b) Ke7 leads to Ng6+ and the Rook falls again. c) Kd7 leads to Ng6 anyway and same problem than a) the Rook is lost.
“This is a rare scenario in chess. It seems that every piece on the board is hung simultaneously”
It's a new milestone the likes of which I've never seen
You gave my nose a reaction that I never imagined was possible
Its like Aronian Anand tata steel 2013, the difference is Anand is a genius and Dan here... not so much.
True beauty
Sounds like something gotham would say

Hi Levy!
Is this how you feel watching NLs games?
i need to see a Gotham reacts to 170 elo too!! :D

hHahahahhaha yeah
This is probably how gm's see 1500 level games
So true. It's all relative, and everyone has their own conception of what constitutes a "beginner".
1500 level chess is basically amateur level
1500 for a GM is basically "they barely know how the pieces move and at least they don't call the knight a horse"
@@HoratioAccel Are you high? 1500 level chess means you're beating 99% of people IRL (that admittedly don't play chess).
no
5:00 "The opponent is literally not playing chess. They're just moving as fast as possible."
He is LightningLuke92. He plays lightning moves

LMAO bro this is so accurate wtf
He moves them like they're heavy
Now I can't unsee it and I'm uncomfortable too
NL: I’m not trying to throw stones
Also NL: Big brother runner up
Dan won twice, Ryan was just mean there
@@williammitchell6254 he won once
“A former big brother runner up”?? The disrespect
He will be acknowledged once he smashes that 1k elo milestone.
Nevermind him winning BB10, but when you appear on BB14 and are the runner up, that's your legacy.
Highlight moment!
He lost his title to the current runner up, lol
It's all about asserting dominance.
"Most notably a Big Brother runner up." lol
Lowkey BM
It gets me every time
😂 it's funny because he actually won, but then was a runner up on his next appearance

NL regressing to calling it a horse as he watches tells me the next chess video we're gonna see him get busted back down to 1300

@@lucasschoubye8432 Don't forget that rooks are juicers as well
Hikaru calls them horses all the time :p
In Dutch chess knights are horses, bishops are walkers, and rooks are towers. Hearing horses get called knights is odd.
@@Yzerbruh lol, in German knights are jumpers, not even horses.
lmao narrator voice: "it's not checkmate-ticity" really got me
NL actually taking longer to analyze a single move than the entire length of the game
Such content is integral for pogging the gourd.
Verbalizing it and effectively communicating it to the audience takes a minimum amount of time. NL can definitely internally analyze it at the speed the game was played.

Honestly, given my level of chess (which is closer to Dan's than to NL's) I'd both enjoy and learn something from that.
"horse. well, can't believe I'm calling it a horse now too- the knight..."
This episode is filled with gems, from both sides. Time to wipe these tears off. :')
"I feel like I'm regressing to 191 elo" - I actually died crying

I can only imagine what kind of anger issues Arn987 has when he rage quits while winning by 20 seconds in bullet chess
"I can't believe I'm calling it a horse now" is probably the best thing I've ever heard.
I actually did not know that Elo went that low, but I guess we all gotta start somewhere, and Dan has been climbing from what I’ve seen!
*Elo, just FYI. It's not an acronym; the Elo rating system was named after a person.
@@jerome_david the Electric Light Orchestra rating system unfortunately just doesn't get the respect it once did
@@jerome_david huh, you learn something every day I guess. I had always assumed it was an acronym.
100 is the lowest possible I believe.

He does this quite often on stream, it's pretty pog and he's good.
He does it on Twitch. It's actually pog city, the man's mind is insane

170th in the world
PogU
Dan's a legend for giving things a go outside of his wheelhouse.
No offense, but Dan plays like he learned how to play chess by reading NL's "About this game" section in the description
"If you have no plan, why is it taking so long to make each move?" That is exactly the reason, if he had a plan, he could spend a second per move, but without a plan, he has to grind his gears :)
This is how Levy watches NL's videos
"very aggressive player. Reminds me a bit of Mikhail Tal" lmao
The entire video had me rolling. Dan's original commentary softly in the background with NL's fervent reactions. Too funny.
The irony is that my phone autocorrected Gheesling to Chess King 🙃🙃
We stan a chess king 🥺
Didn't work for me
I get “ghee slingshot”
Which uh, sounds messy
Reacting to a Dan G vid, that's rojo caliente!
That damn song has been stuck in my head all day now, dude. It's an earworm and a half.
I honestly hope the chess arc lasts as long as isaac

Honestly, I'd pog anyway
"Flag IQ out of control" Geoguessr god knows talent when he sees it
i wanna see gothamchess give dan a 2 hour lesson
i wanna see Levy keep a straight face for 2 hours!
I think half of those two hours will be spent by Dan having to explain his terminology to Levy, considering how NLs vocabulary already confused him here and there
Dan would be like "this is resident sleeper"
a 2 hour lesson to raise his rating to 300.
I think Levy stopped teaching chess to kids 😆
I would like to laugh, but if I was playing I'd probably be around the same rating.
"The opponent isn't even playing chess. He is just moving pieces as fast as possible."
Saw the title and thought "oh we're a react channel now". As soon as I clicked, saw Dan, pogged off.
I would love any variety content NL puts out, the occasional reaction can be a great way to share a laugh with ur favorite creators.
5:45-6:17 It's funny seeing NL trying to look for tactics when both of black's bishops are just free to take 🙃

I'm not sure which would be worse: GothamChess being confused by Dan or GothamChess understanding Dan immediately.
>>bullet chess
>>slowly drags a pawn forward 1 square over about 3 seconds
Dan Gheesling is just NL with a hat and no glasses. It's like they're reading off the same script.
How to win a bullet game in a 200 ELO :
1. Make every legal move as fast as possible
2. You win because your oppponent losing time

The look on Dan’s face when he’s playing is killing me. Rewatch and pay attention to that xd
Every time NL pauses it's a delight
Dan is great with the pog facials.
That last game saw the much discussed little brother finally take the wheel

Dan plays the computer lines always. Just a computer that selects pieces and squares at random
I thought this was a lot of fun, it's nice that it's not just someone random that might take this way less well than Dan probably will!

Literally in tears, this was amazingly hilarious
this is how hikaru thinks secretly when he watches you play chess.
Watching Dan play chess is like saying a word so often it looses all its meaning.

When will NL just accept it and make this a chess channel?
NL will always be a variety streamer in his heart of hearts. Too many years of NLSS training to drop it now.
