Chess is the original rogue like actually. Can’t wait for the DLC that adds more floors, new pieces and pawns with diffrent moves. They could also add pits and big yeeti in the middle of the board. Also reward people with crowns for wins to unlock that sweet new drip and emotes. Then chess would become the Northernlion of videogames.
As an exclusive Queen's Gambit player with the White pieces, I exclusively respond to the Slav Defense with the Exchange Variation. Or as Wikipedia calls it, "the system that takes all the fun out of the Slav for Black."
Loving this series. The only other chess streamers I know of are all GM/WFM/IM/etc. so as a beginner I actually end up learning a lot watching these videos.
Loving the series nl. You inspired me to learn chess. I always wanted to play but thought it was too complicated for me but you going through your thought process made it click for me now ive been reading loads of chess material. Keep the series alive its goated!
"I guess after you take the pawn, the pawn is no longer a threat." 18:30 all jokes aside loving the chess series. The analysis is super helpful too, thank you!
I like this series because it isn’t a super chess player I can’t follow, and it isn’t a low level player. I’m glad I was nationally ranked in chess as a kid and can understand this. Also, if you read this Ryan, you have been one of the best influences on my life since I started watching in OG Isaac.
Loving the series so far. On analysis: I say ignore Key Moments, the interface is confusing and it's a lot more fun to just step through the analysis yourself. And I highly suggest you look at all your mistakes and blunders in your losses, you're missing a lot of major mistakes because if you lose a match you just look at one or two mistakes and then write it off. Analyzing your losses is the fastest way to improve... though I guess if you get too good we won't be able to revel in your pain.
I actually learn alot more with the analysis in games that you lose. (Although i still love when you win of course too.) Your explanations are pretty well thought-out and clear! Thanks for showing me how to play AND not how to play chess. It really is appreciated! ^_^
You don't need anymore gasoline on this firemarshall's nightmare of a pog inferno, but I gotta say, diving deep on the analysis even when the match doesn't go your way is such elite-tier content it defies description. Whenever I lose I yeet the analysis into the darkweb. But watching you walk through it is galaxy braining on a professional level.
I heard Levy mentioned it yesterday on stream. Didn't see it first hand though. I'd love confirmation, and when it is. a VOD on TH-cam would be sick because of my internet.
I got really excited when Ryan started to consider 16...Qxa6 because I saw that position and immediately thought ...Qxa6 Bxa6 Ra8 and there's no way for White to save both pieces, period, end of story. The knight can't cover the bishop because of the pawn at c5, and the bishop can't cover the knight because it's just immediately captured by the pawn on c6. Got real nervous when he started to galaxy brain himself out of the move, but I'm glad he found it a minute later. :D
Just subscribed. Trying to sweep the cobwebs out of aging mind and so far have found it pretty interesting following along....cheers...rr Normandy, France
Series has been great, the pure pog of NL reviewing his analysis is great, matched only by his face when his opponents makes a ??????????????????????? move.
THEY CALLLLLLL HIMMMMMMM THE GUUUUULLLLLPLLERRRRRRRRRR. That's right! Another riveting exhibition from the human jukebox, with the wit of a fox, Noooooorthernliooooon.

30:07 Ok so in that last game where NL couldn't for the life of him find the best move in the endgame leading to a knights qk fork I did have an alternate suggestion for a move that clearly isn't best but it was what I immidietly jumped to. Ok so hear me out; Queen to A3 and his queen captures. Then you capture his queen with your bishop on E7. You have now created an attack on his C1 rook. He can't just move his threatened rook to counterattack your bishop because of the knight on E4 nor can he move to the bottom lest his rook be capped into oblivion. Instead he must move his rook back somewhere on row 1 or some middle square that doesn't matter. Now you are safe to either cap his bishop on F4 in peace or making a knights qb fork thereby creating a significant lead
my doc says if my pog intake stays this high i'll be at a significant risk of of withdrawals should it ever stop - the only medication for that is Copium
I love that his inner rogue lite calls every match a run

agreed I noticed that a few episodes ago and it gives me life.
@@deepestcrack4717 Maybe the DLC with new floors would be that 5d time travel chess thing
NL's favourite things to do in chess:
1) Castle
2) Offer to trade queens
3) Say "let's get weird" every game
lookin like an episode of wife swap
"I think we're ahead here. I don't necessarily think that's from us playing particularly well here" Every game
This series must go on until Ryan reaches 2000 ELO.
3000 surely? guaranteed pogs forever
Yes
@@MrRasmus2909 lol move over Magnus and Fabiano
He beats Magnus in a game of king of the hill
Better yet, keep going until NL can beat stockfish.
"Maybe the Necronomicon, because this is cursed" and it ain't gonna get better for a few minutes, absolute pog dude
15:57 "WAIT, WAIT, I'LL LOAD"
lmaaooo "you need to pour some hot water on your screen to unfreeze it" sent me
this is probably the most excited I've been for an nl series in a long time, eagerly waiting each day to watch these.
"I'm not going to mate with just the queen" he says right before mating with the queen and the king while ignoring an instant mate
phrasing
Mating with the queen Kreygasm
"Slav Defense: Modern, Quiet..."
I've seen videos that would suggest otherwise
As an exclusive Queen's Gambit player with the White pieces, I exclusively respond to the Slav Defense with the Exchange Variation. Or as Wikipedia calls it, "the system that takes all the fun out of the Slav for Black."
Also sounds alot like Captain Picard's ordering a battleship. computer; Tea: earl grey, hot. Battleship; Slav devence: Modern, Quiet.
Of course Jeff Dunham doesn't talk when he plays, its the puppets that do.
who's gonna tell him
Now son I think the magic behind Jeff Dunham is very real
NL after one stream with AOC and Jagmeet: "We are doing the Anti-Tory attack"
Wait did he actually collab with Jagmeet?
@@TheWorldBelowDnD yep check the Twitch vods, it was one of the most POGGED streams I’ve ever witnessed
@@isasolaris226 I knew about the tweet, but that's incredibly pogged
NL before aoc stream:no politics, NL after: hey guys, lets eat those rich fatties
Wait, that wasn't a joke? What's the vod called?
MR LEUTOURNEAU OH ME OH MY! I could swear you are trying to assassinate me by over-pogging my gourd! a 40 minute chess video?!
Truly blessed by NL himself
I really love the self-analysis throughout the game. It is definitely making me a better casual chess player
Loving this series. The only other chess streamers I know of are all GM/WFM/IM/etc. so as a beginner I actually end up learning a lot watching these videos.

Did he really just call one of his matches a "run"? XD
"I guess after you take the pawn, the pawn is no longer a threat." 18:30
all jokes aside loving the chess series. The analysis is super helpful too, thank you!
A really nice mix of competence with just enough FUBAR to make backseat gaming a fun ride.
Nice series.
Where were you when NL officially renamed chess games as ‘runs’ forever more?
i've been watching Ryan for years, but it's the first time i'm this early. thanks for countless hours of entertainment over the years!
Awesome learning how you could have pulled the win in the last game. Keep 'er going.
INSTANTLY pogged when I see a chess video in my feed
Your vids are one of the things that are keeping me sane while I fight off the Rona. Thanks for the pogs brother
I see Nl playing chess, I click
im a simple man
41 minutes!!! that's 10 extra minutes of pure pog!!!!!!!
i love how NL walked his king across the entire board to protect mate on B6 instead of just mating on B7 with the bishop. never change egg.
Loving this new rouge-like, and the run length is perfect for your format.
Necronomicon: 100 cursed openings to pog your opponents in 10 moves or less
Thanks for the video NL!
Always pogged to see a series pop off like this has!
I like this series because it isn’t a super chess player I can’t follow, and it isn’t a low level player. I’m glad I was nationally ranked in chess as a kid and can understand this.
Also, if you read this Ryan, you have been one of the best influences on my life since I started watching in OG Isaac.

Two games with two in depth analyses is perfect for these videos. Keep up with the chess NL its great.
This is the most I’ve enjoyed youtube is a long time. Thank you

9:32 NL my guy, no idea how badly I was freaking out. Thank you for pogging up and seeing it
ah yes chess, featuring pieces and timers. Very pogged for the new chess vid!
I really like watching you play chess, I hope you'll be able to continue for a little bit.
OVER FORTY MINUTES OF PURE CHESS POGIFICITY I AM BEYOND PUMPED LFG
You don't need anymore gasoline on this firemarshall's nightmare of a pog inferno, but I gotta say, diving deep on the analysis even when the match doesn't go your way is such elite-tier content it defies description. Whenever I lose I yeet the analysis into the darkweb. But watching you walk through it is galaxy braining on a professional level.
rlly hoping for that gotham chess collab, it would be cool to reignite the egg brain with a stream of coaching or something
I heard Levy mentioned it yesterday on stream. Didn't see it first hand though. I'd love confirmation, and when it is. a VOD on TH-cam would be sick because of my internet.
will be cool to see NL back teaching again!
Nah, that guy is obnoxious as hell.
@@nickalgeo4959 Was on stream yesterday with Gotham he said there is a collab in the works within the next 2 weeks I think
@@DerKaiserXIII I liked him at first. But i agree with you
I got really excited when Ryan started to consider 16...Qxa6 because I saw that position and immediately thought ...Qxa6 Bxa6 Ra8 and there's no way for White to save both pieces, period, end of story.

I wake up at like 3pm PST and chess is always waiting for me as soon as I'm out of bed :)
Glad to be here for the (first) 40-minute video!
I am so happy you played Ra8 at 7:45! I was screaming at my screen the whole time
Same lol he caught it at the last second
Love this series, its great,I can't get enough
Good stuff. Love the Analysis.
NL reading and misreading the analysis is what keeps me alive and pogged through the dark nights
We finally got the chess series, and we lost Fall Guys.
What did it cost? Everything. But it was worth it.
Series has been great, the pure pog of NL reviewing his analysis is great, matched only by his face when his opponents makes a ??????????????????????? move.
i didn't see that missed win either if it makes you feel any better.
i do love watching these chess games with my morning coffee,
22:05 the realisation the second that knight moved was golden
Has there ever been a series more highly pogged than this?? nay I say nay
Hafu challenge now, please!
He didn't start the video with "hey everybody" =(
Oh my, you're treating us today with this 40 minute long episode!
Levy & Hikaru mentioned Northernlion on the stream today :)
VOD link? Both channels?
@@prawtism Hikaru doesn't have VODs anymore. Gothamchess has it, but it's subscribers only.
Love this chess series,I've even started myself
I get a notification with a funky title don't even know what game it is but I click on it instantly imagine the amount of pog when I see chess
As soon as NL says "Let's get weird" you know the pogs are about to flow
saw video length and INSTANTLY SMASHED the like button!
Love the videos, Egg. Chess is great.
Watching NL not realize the Bishop had the line on his rook had me worried. But he figured it out.
Loving this new Roguelike so far
I love the chess series. Probably my favorite series in a long time
15:42 The worlds most useful tech support answer, "it works for me :)"
12:49 - "he's got this"
12:50 - "NO CHECK CHECK!!!"
you can cashe refresh to fix analysis (ctrl+Shift+R) if a simple refresh doesn't cut it, which sometimes it doesn't for me
This is good content. Please continue.
These chess videos are absolutely incredible. And I dont even play chess, at all. Thanks brother!
96% accuracy?!?!?!
41 minutes of pure GOURD OVERLOADING, thank you eggfather
Me: (14:24) Good move. Puts king into zugzwang, than mate on b7
NL: Keeps marching with his king
Me: Oh
Missed the family fork :) but I laughed a lot during the video, thanks for that!
great series Ryan, another great video, however could you not put spoilers in the title? keep up the good work man
THEY CALLLLLLL HIMMMMMMM THE GUUUUULLLLLPLLERRRRRRRRRR.
That's right! Another riveting exhibition from the human jukebox, with the wit of a fox, Noooooorthernliooooon.
I paused the video and was trying to figure out that missed win in the last game. Couldn't get it until the analysis showed how.
People chatting to NL and NL ignoring them PepeHands
Love the series! I'm so happy you got into chess at a similar time I did!
Great moves NL
Clenching defeat from the jaws if victory

40 minutes, truly blessed on this day.
I love this series
More chess please Mr Egg ;) You are the most entertaining channel atm!
I'm trash at chess but your chess videos are very soothing to watch for some reason :P
6:20 Qxa6 Bxa6 Ra8
and white loses a piece
....aaa ok he saw it.
Can't wait for the rumoured GothamChess collab!
I've been watching International Chess Master John Bartholomew
on YT for a comparison
Please move your rook 9:10
This is the best series
NL: "...arbitrage..." forty times in one video.
Me: "Someone's been spending to much time on r/wallstreetbets"
*guh*
I saw the winning tactic with rxf4 during the last game and I was SCREAMING when you missed it
30:07 Ok so in that last game where NL couldn't for the life of him find the best move in the endgame leading to a knights qk fork I did have an alternate suggestion for a move that clearly isn't best but it was what I immidietly jumped to.

Instead he must move his rook back somewhere on row 1 or some middle square that doesn't matter. Now you are safe to either cap his bishop on F4 in peace or making a knights qb fork thereby creating a significant lead
Y'know at least it's better than queen to A5 and it's honestly the move i'd make in a tournament to throw my opponent off
my doc says if my pog intake stays this high i'll be at a significant risk of of withdrawals should it ever stop - the only medication for that is Copium
This series is great... Came for the Isaac, stayed for the family fork
I am going to open a chess camp and teach everyone with these great videos.
Imagine your knights start talking and you find out you're playing against Jeff Dunham.
First game he opens with Queen's Gambit, the man is on the popular culture vanguard
Technically his opponent used the Queen's Gambit
NL and I have the same exact reaction to the chrome browser notification requests lol
"I don't wanna flex, but I'm 4-1 today"

40+ minute chess episode, it's a good day boys
