@@karisteinn5647 No it's not. We literally do not have a computer with enough processing power to solve a game of ches yet, and it's debated whether or not one could be made.
I wish he'd just stop doing key moments. It seems like he tends to gloss over mistakes "Ah, yeah, that was a mistake apparently. But it's only -1, so it's not a big deal, let's keep going" and then gets pogged up by "Game Changers" that are just "The opponent made a blunder and you didn't immediately counter-blunder". And then things like "Over the course of ten moves you went from up by one to down by one, then in ten moves you brought it back" don't get a key moment so they don't get looked at at all, when that's probably the most important stuff if you want to get better
So I went on a school trip with a bus years ago and the bus stopped on a gas station at 2 am to let some of us pee. First of all I was surprised it happened at such a late hour but I was thankful because I really needed to go. I was uncomprehensibly sleepy but I managed to get to the right toilet room. All the stalls were closed accept one and I quickly occupied it. About 2 minutes into my poop someone got the same idea and started looking for an open stall. I was the only one else in the restroom so I had to give him an answer when he was to knock on my stall door. When this moment inevitably came I forgot all the right acceptable responses, so when he knocked, instead of me saying: 'occupied' I said: 'come in'. The person on the other side did not laugh nor express confusion, instead he just fleed the area all together. To this day I still don't know who was on the other side and for all I know it could be someone I knew who could've recognized my voice and now knows this unsatisfying thing about me. This has nothing to do with chess, I just wanted to share a story.
Just in case anyone wants to actually know the mate in 8, it's (alternating white and black's moves): Rfe1, Rg2, Kh3, Bg4, Kg2, Be6, Rad1, Bf6, Nf6+, Ke7, Qg5, h6, Rd7+, Kf8, Qh6#
you should try some chess puzzles for a video, i feel like it'd do you a lot of good spotting those check and take's like the one you found analyzing your last game, loving the series so far NL
Hey NL, whenever you get a long mate in an analysis, it'd be cool to watch you treat the game as a puzzle from there out, playing both sides. It might pad out the video a bit but I think it'd be good practice to look for longer lines near the late midgame/early endgame.
22:00 haven't seen the rest of the game or analysis. i predict that nf6 is the best move. if they respond bxf6, queen takes and puts the king in check, and mate will come quick with the open files and the rooks. if they do bxf1, you do nxg8 for the trade. after the trade they have to move their bishop, and black responds with rd1 for check which puts mate on the table again. 25:08 re7 is the best move here. if bxe7, qxf4 (queen takes rook). if kb6, rb7 is mate. if kb8, qg8 is mate edit: it didn't matter at all, and i didn't think it would either. just fun to find moves!
Game 1, e4 critical mistake: don't reinforce the pawn, take with the d-pawn. This forces the release of tension on the d6 square, resulting at worst a trade of rook for queen, probably winning the game. Had me yelling, my dude. I'm getting Baba Is You flashbacks.
I get that it's kinda embarrassing but i really wish NL did more analysis on the games he loses/draws (also wanna see that game that got lost to the sands of time)
@@MELTYYYY he doesn’t check his best move on enormous mistakes like this 14:45 and that’s why this comment exists. I don’t think people care about him bonding best moves unless he makes mistakes/blunders
6:08 I think Bf7 would've been interesting, if he moves the rook, you take the knight and they have to open the h-file and expose the king to recapture it
i was playing yesterday and i saw on analysis (of a bot game because i suck) that at one point the best line of play predicted mate in like 10, because i had to keep the king in check the entire time so the opponents moves were predictable
Here's the PGN for the M9 if anyone wants to give it a try or just see the full line via analysis, it's a pretty cool mate. [Variant "From Position"] [FEN "r2k2r1/p2Nbp1p/B1p5/2p1Q3/1P6/P4b2/5P1K/R4R2 w - - 0 1"] EDIT: I just noticed there is actually more than one M9 from this position, real cool actually.
Dude when you moved the queen to e4, you could have instead moved the knight to d5 and it woulda been a really funny play. Would have absolutely forced him to engage, probably would have either taken his queen and put him in check or traded queens and came out a bishop ahead.
In the first game where you attempted the retry, if you'd have moved the bishop there it would have forced his knight out to protect the checkmate and you would have had his queen.
most people in that position against a practiced player would have played it out and lost and most don't have the time management skills to accept a draw from a winning position so don't feel bad it was a pretty good play
Mate in 8 was moving his rook and then using his queen to take the bishop next to blacks king. He wouldn't of been able to do much about it besides move his king, at that point you pin him in like you did at the end.
Dude yes I was losing my mind when he didn’t check the best move in the analyze cause that was such an important moment. I think bare minimum he would have ended up 2 more pons up and at that point he could have traded fast until he won
Why is it when watching someone else's game I see all sorts of tactics and traps but then in my own games I hang pieces lol. At 10:53, if you play Rc1, your opponent playing Rxd6 is a trap since you then can play Rxd6. If your opponent plays Qxd6, you'd have a Rc8+, forcing Qg8 and winning the queen, then all of the left pawns through skewers with the queen. I'd never find that in my own game, but something about watching someone on youtube makes these stand out to me.
1:40 - Wouldn't he be able to just take the pawn with bishop? Then if: you take bishop, he takes it with rook. you take rook with rook, he takes it with queen. I mean, he would not be able to lose on that, or did I miss something? I'm just 1300 elo bullet player though :D
Did egg miss a strong fork at 19:08, moving f3knight to e5 pawn, threatening both the queen and bishop, black should move the queen to protect it and white takes the bishop leading to another fork. I haven't played much chess in years, so I'm probably wrong, but seems like the game would've gone a bit better that way?

Bold of you to ask me to find mate in 8 when I can barely find mate in 30!
As someone who played a little bit of chess in middle school and then stopped, there is nothing but absolute pog emanating from NL in these videos

This has got me making all of my friends play chess with me, keep the pogs coming
My man has absolutely no curiosity about best moves in analysis
true but also the jump from excellent to best is normally pretty minor and super speculative
@@MELTYYYY he doesn’t check his best move on enormous mistakes like this 14:45 and that’s why this comment exists. I don’t think people care about him bonding best moves unless he makes mistakes/blunders
Watching NL play chess with commentary is actually pog
This is such a great series
12:25 man with 2 minutes on clock who has ball on his court being mesmerized at oponent making bland moves
This title sounds very Australian for some reason.
That last game was just steady good plays all the way through. Shame you couldn't channel your inner doctor strange and see that possible m8.
A draw is not the same move sequence 3 times. It is when the pieces are in the same position 3 times. Doesn't even have to be one after the other.
6:08 I think Bf7 would've been interesting, if he moves the rook, you take the knight and they have to open the h-file and expose the king to recapture it
Black could respond with knight e5, forking the queen and bishop
2:02 NL calling out all the back seating scrubs 😂👊👊
I thought NL playing chess, what memery is this, I like chess and even I cant see this being interesting content. 8th ep in, pleasantly surprised.
This is good content. Please continue.

I haven't been paying attention to face cam but the subconscious beard stroke is wonderful.
NL you don't need to hold the piece, you can just click it, then click where you want it to go
it's far easier to avoid misclicks
Here's the PGN for the M9 if anyone wants to give it a try or just see the full line via analysis, it's a pretty cool mate.

these chess videos are amazing
Re1 is kind of a machine move,a human would always simplify with rg1 like u did
2:13 was that a rare air in a chess video in late 2020??
Oh no oh no oh no there wasn't chess today I'm worried
In the first game where you attempted the retry, if you'd have moved the bishop there it would have forced his knight out to protect the checkmate and you would have had his queen.
Put a time stamp cause I’m not sure which part you are referring to
most people in that position against a practiced player would have played it out and lost and most don't have the time management skills to accept a draw from a winning position so don't feel bad it was a pretty good play
Watching normally I actually did somehow see the mate in 8. Genius, I know
what was it??
the lack of analysis becouse of the key moments thing is extremely painful, I feel like we could have all learned from the first one
Mate in 8 is with perfect play from Black though. After Rook to e1, any response that is not Rook to e8 loses pretty fast.
Its hard to predict how many turns, but arguably you can be 2 away at 21:50
Mate in 8 was moving his rook and then using his queen to take the bishop next to blacks king. He wouldn't of been able to do much about it besides move his king, at that point you pin him in like you did at the end.
14:47 E4 pawn is so much more then "questionable" it's basically where you threw the game. D5x c6 pawn was by far the better play.
Dude yes I was losing my mind when he didn’t check the best move in the analyze cause that was such an important moment. I think bare minimum he would have ended up 2 more pons up and at that point he could have traded fast until he won

The chess episode after this one is set to private
1:40 - Wouldn't he be able to just take the pawn with bishop?
Then if:
you take bishop, he takes it with rook.
you take rook with rook, he takes it with queen.
I mean, he would not be able to lose on that, or did I miss something? I'm just 1300 elo bullet player though :D
At 21:40 could you do Rd1 and then when he takes your knight you move your knight to f6 creating a discovered check and threatening the rook?
I think you should enable "show possible move" so you don't move accidentally while trying to cancel selection.

Curiosity question: in game 1 why not use your knight to fork the bishop and rock at b6 in the early to early-mid game
Did egg miss a strong fork at 19:08, moving f3knight to e5 pawn, threatening both the queen and bishop, black should move the queen to protect it and white takes the bishop leading to another fork.
