15:47 See the mistake you made there was not time travelling back in time to capture the queen, free your knight, and checkmate the king in the 4th dimension
Hey NL, in the future, you can right click and drag to draw arrows to better illustrate where you think pieces might move. Please do more chess, this is truly out-of-this-world gourd pogging content.
Same. Sometimes when I get on my superiority horse (that's the right expression right?) watching NL play action-centric games I remember he is a freaking monster of a chess player. It's so fun to watch.
You could treat chess like you treated Tetris 99... set a goal for yourself (boomer hits 1200 elo) and then end it. All in all I love me a good chess video and I love me a good northern video -a fellow Ryan
Nl vs hafu chess confirmed! I’m so exited for it. Keep it up northern Ryan lion, aka Kasparov’s Egg, thank you for bringing us chess content in these uncertain times.
Ryan, us chess noobs actually enjoy your chess content incredibly so. Watching you do cool moves or just play a strong game is very interesting just to watch. Backseaters are massive chumps btw.
Tip for future videos (I sure hope that there will be more): you can highlight squares and your candidate moves using the right mouse button. Right click on a square to highlight it, right click and drag to draw an arrow. Left click any empty square to clear all highlighted squares and drawn arrows.
As someone who isn't particularly well versed in chess, hearing you explain your thought process, even when you were "incorrect", was illuminating and very interesting. Cheers for the variety content, looking forward to more.
I liked it when you went a little slower and explained your thought process cause it helps people who are bad at chess (me) understand what's going on. But it's cool to see you flex a little! I'm so terrible at this game dude
I'd love to see more! It's really cool to see someone with a completely different chess style from me play, and the pogged out commentary only makes it better!
Can someone explain how he won the fourth puzzle? I thought the King can just move down one space and not be in check... EDIT: It seems like it just checks for winning moves, not checkmates.
@@elijahagustino3605 It is checkmate if he doesn't take the rook with the queen, but the line is too long to calculate for a beginner chess player. if you really want to see it: Rd8+ Kh2 R2d7+ (Bxd7 Be4+ Bf5 Bxf5#) Kg3 Rg1+ Bg2 Rxg2#
Actualy No. So far no-one has given the right answer. see if you move the rook you can checkmate the king in the fourth dimension. Because it cant move forward in time so you just move the rook through the time dimension and presto chango you win. Its really quite simple Zach.
@@sillychinas It still seems retarded to me, like the thing to learn from that puzzle is WHY black takes the trade that's really bad for them, not "hehe computer stoopid I win". It just seems stupid on a chess puzzle site.
27:15, the reason why the queen isn't checkmate is because it leaves an open tile for the king to escape(tile above white rook), not because it dies (since its protected by the black rook)
@21:44 the reason you capture the pawn is because it's threatening mate in 2 via Rg5 Kh4 Rh6. In puzzles you have to end up in a position where you are up material at the end or mating. That's why some of these puzzles you can't just win a rook for a knight (called the exchange) because sometimes they start up material.
I love this. I used to play a lot as a kid and just stopped. The fact that NL is playing and explaining it like I am 5 is something you can't find anywhere else. I hope the series goes on.
Loved the Chess video today!! Extremely relaxing and it's fun to watch you talk out your thought process as you go through moves. You maybe could even go for the oh-so-classic grandmaster vibe and play some royalty-free classical music in the background quietly while you play!
15:00 "literally i'm dumb, okay" keeps opening my google assistant and searching dumb. My google assistant doesn't work with me, but with nl it does...
Hey NL! I just wanted to say I'm really loving this chess content!! :) It's been a while since I've watched anything but Isaac but this new series has me hooked!!
I'm sorry but how could he have missed the next move after rook takes f7 and king to g8. He could have simply moved his rook to f2 and then the king would be under check from the bishop and he could simply captured the queen after the king moves. I'm talking about the 24:31 part
Yessss, more chess please! I don't mind the backsitting, as an average player, it gives me more time to think before I see your solution. I recommend playing one chess game per video (10 minutes aside). Love your content, keep up the pog ^^
Love watching the wheels spin in your head. Love the enthusiasm as you rediscover your passion. I would greatly look forward to more chess content good sir. Keep the pogs flowing brother.
I'm a very casual fan and player of chess but this was a great video! I really enjoyed listening to you logic out these puzzles and look forward to more chess videos!
NL playing chess is legitimately amazing. He'll do 15 moves in a row where I've hardly finished reading the board before he's found the optimal path, and then he struggles to find a one-move mate that was the first thing I thought of. PLEASE DO MORE!
we've been playing the long game bois, it's only going to take until march next year until we can soften the egg(tm) enough so that he reenters the competitive chess scene and THEN he can retake his crown as internet chess boi supreme, his birthright.
I know nothing about chess, but what keeps this interesting is the fact that it’s intellectually stimulating for you and you seem to be having a lot of fun with that. Reminiscent of how Tetris challenged your speed / wits in a competitive environment.
9:55 I guess e3 can move up twice, it will take 2 turns but then the enemy either loses the knight or moves it, giving you free shot at the queen with the bishop
Hey Ryan, just so you know, if you hold down your right mouse on a piece and then move it you can get arrows that show us what move you’re thinking of. Just a heads up.
I am genuinely confused as to how the setup at 1:52 is checkmate. Can't black move the knight at F6 up to E8 and thus block the rook's ability to attack the king(at least temporarily)? Edit: The next one wasn't checkmate either. Are none of these checkmates, and if not, what is the game even testing?
it's not about checkmates, it's about finding the best moves in every board. Some puzzles are checkmate in 1 or 2, some are endgame strategy and so on.
Awesome video. Love seeing chess on your channel. Pro tip for the UI, you can drag right click to show how you'd move the pieces when you are giving examples :)
I rarely comment on videos, but it's so awesome seeing one of my favorite youtubers playing one of my favorite games. Please keep playing! I really enjoy this content!!! :)
*Dan DAE voice* "UMMMM The streamer should have moved knight to R14 instead of bishop to Q11, that would have set him up for the double halfpipe re-stack late-game strategy with his 2 rooks later, just letting you know I read it in Hammurabi's Code of Chess, its on page 322. Even 12-year-olds know that."
NL I'm honestly excited to see some chess, like I know how the game works but I've been wanting to get better, and seeing someone play who isn't like grandmaster-God tier ELO and seeing some actual thought but who is still leagues better than me is really helping! Thanks for the pogged gourd, I'm looking forward to some more!
I don't comment very much but I wanted you to know. I remember watching your videos since I moved out when I was 19 years old in my first apartment. I had a son so I took a break (I'm sure you understand). Now I am 25 and now my whole household watches your videos. Keep up the great work, NL.
I can’t believe my favorite youtuber finally picked up the hottest game of the 600s!
15:47 See the mistake you made there was not time travelling back in time to capture the queen, free your knight, and checkmate the king in the 4th dimension

NL doesn't play games while they are popular, he waits till it turns into nostalgia and THEN HE REELS IN THE POGS!
One of these days he’ll be a swashbuckler who plays Sid Meier’s Pirates just like Quill18, I just know it!

-a fellow Ryan
the birth gave Ryan yet-unseen levels of Pog, this dude is giving us what we've wanted and is making deals with Fall Guys. I'm so proud of the Egg.

About this game:
the horse moves like an L
Love that description
27:15, the reason why the queen isn't checkmate is because it leaves an open tile for the king to escape(tile above white rook), not because it dies (since its protected by the black rook)
Please more of this, I'm so excited every time you play chess.
Love watching you play chess, I would in no way be opposed to more great content like this.
@21:44 the reason you capture the pawn is because it's threatening mate in 2 via Rg5 Kh4 Rh6.

I was initially really confused on this 'chess' game but NLs synopsis in the description really heped me out.
