Chess has been having a resurgence in popularity this year so I have finally acquiesced to semi-popular demand and started to play a bit. First, let's hone our skills and get a little more warmed up and then let's conquer chess dot com one board gamer at a time.

the horse moves like an L - Ігри
GothemChess "you should just memorize one opening really well"
NL "challenge accepted "
jeez you have so many likes for no comments apart from me
Levy: Study an opening and truly learn it.
Egg: G R O B
Grob is key
NL psyching people out with bad openings even before becoming a certified Grand Master.
I'm strongly suspicious that the first resigned game was a misclick, it was such a nonsense move to make and it looks like it would have been really easy to do
That's where you're mistaken. He already is a Grand Master.

Apparently this was literally the purpose of this opening. It wasn't very good, but no one knew how to play against it.

the video should really be titled "How do i win a game while playing the Dutch Defence!?"

I really thought he was going to play a bong cloud for a moment.
Also, did we just miss an entire episode's worth of chess by waiting for the white pieces?
Bong cloud can actually be good its just so absurdly chaotic that only IMs and GMs play it, and even then its most as a way to throw the opponent off of their strategy. Nakamura won several matches against other GMs in the 2019 speed chess championship with bongcloud.
Well, he actually is a GM for 24 hours now, so bongcloud do be coming tho
@@ChainsawDude2008 Wait, he's a GM now? Pog
@@ikbenwelthuis yeah chessdotcom answered him on Twitter that he's a GM for 24 hours lmao
The pogs and memes can't be stopped
“A classic Grab Opening trap” got me good
This is one of the best Chess videos undeniably... Garb opening!
ACTUAL kinda EDITING
you know hie is pogged up for a series when these 5 things happen.....
Right how has this not filled the comments section
@@RyanGaryLeTomo ho-ly, you bring back some memories with the lightbulb
@@RyanGaryLeTomo somebody please link me the video where he actually changed a light bulb during a recording
@@MrG3ecko link me 2 if you get it
One day he's playing with the worst opening imaginable, the next he's got a GM tag. The man's power knows no bounds
NL, if you're worried about the Chess series becoming repetitive, you should consider queuing for Chess 960 games. The board starts with 1 of 960 randomized starting positions.
I feel like NL would be insanely good at chess960 due to his aversion to theory / memorizing openings
The true chess roguelike
Good idea
"this is some of the worst chess we've ever played"
Well, it's 3 minute blitz chess. That comes with the territory.
Funnily enough, compared to my 10 min games, the playing was leagues above. But then again I am a 900 and NL is not.
@@oz_jones he's about 500 elo higher so it makes sense. Just watch grandmasters play stockfish/komodo hyperbullet
I would have never imagined that watching someone playing chess would be soo entertaining. First 5 minutes of video were BLESSED. Also the pure joy of my man after he won with Grobbers
Anyone else expected 28 minutes of “Were black, see you in a second”? I think this video is already the most edited Northernlion Video ever
Not counting “best of” ones, it most certainly is.
Have we already forgotten the computer video?

GROBBERS NEW TWITCH EMOTE
Love this new meta of not even showing the match and just telling us if he has won or lost the match. Saves me sooo much time. Thanks egg.
The first 4 minutes are some of the funniest pieces of content ever created by mankind
*for chess players
That stalemate at the end is an insane line, imagine seeing that in 3 minute haha
The concept I believe is known as the mad/crazy rook where the piece can keep checking indefinetaly provided it being taken creates a stalemate. Sometimes the ”winning” side can get out of the checks by finding a position where stalemate material can be sacked or moved. It’s a cool way to save a lost position
@@Iniwid If it’s taken white has no more moves but is not in check. This results in a draw called a stalemate
I can't imagine seeing that in a regular game nm speed chess!
@@Hassy171717 I’ve had it played against me a few times but it’s rare. In longer time controls it can be a surprise in a hard fought rook endgame where one side is running out of moves. Sometimes when I see stockfish analyzing an endgame the eval bar will suddenly go crazy as one side at some point was able to sac into a stalemate. This is an extension of that concept except the rook is not forced to be taken but further checks can not be prevented
"Grob" also means rough or unrefined in german.
It means coffin in Russian. Both seem appropriate.
Wonder if that like "grubby" in eng
@@ninjacell2999 If I had to guess Id say its related to the word "rough" in English. At least the word feels that way to me. Source is mainly my ass but I am bilingual.
It means a tomb in Serbian
It means 'divine' in English. Grob is my chess hero.
4 minutes in and WHAT IS THIS VIDEO
Don't let your memes be dreams, bro.
Getting black over and over and cutting to losses was hilarious, especially when you finally got white and the game ended in like 30 seconds. absolutely pogged content
Jan Gustafsson is actually a legend, pog dude
What's his twitch link?
@@AyushSharma-ne9zs he streams on chess24 on twitch theres also youtube videos with his old streams
i was looking for this comment
Jan Gustafsson is a really nice german GM, he´s often a guest on the german streaming tv channel RocketBeansTV. I would really hype a collab between him the RocketBeans and NL
NL, your definition of "Axiom" is off, it's not something that's sometimes true, it's something that's taken to be true (usually to form a foundation for analysis/logic).
He also said the opponent seemed nonplussed at 3:06 when he seemed to imply the opposite.
I think the word NL means to say is "maxim."
@@justroll6s Nonplussed can mean flustered. Oddly enough, however, it can also mean not flustered.
It seemed like he used it correctly to me. He said something along the lines of: developing Knights first is considered to be good but that's kind of an axiom. Axioms are premises that are unjustifiably assumed to be true. It's impossible to prove an axiom since it's the most fundamental premise in an argument. Usually, in a scientific context, the fact that the axiom is unjustifiably assumed is ignored, for pragmatic reasons. But one could use the word to mean that something isn't justified, which I think is what he was doing.
@@egdrei He used as something that's true most of the time. Axioms are not true most of the time, they are axiomatically true, all the time.
hey everybody!! welcome back to pog city
You spelled "Blunder" wrong.
Pogicity

Grob City
Here after Pog is cancelled
None of the openings in chess named after people include an 's. It's always just the person's name followed by some other word like "attack," "defense," "opening," or "variation." The Alekhine Defense is a good example.
While this is fun, and I think it's great you're trying to introduce variety to the series, just plain chess with your face over it is amazingly entertaining
Grob Opening sounds like a tactic for Orks in Warhammer 40k. And it looks like somefin’ a git wud play as well, so I believe that fits pretty thematically.
's only mafematically bad 'cos he forgot to paint 'iz pieces red.
Henceforth this is known as Pog's opening
RIP PogChamp 2021

He's meme-ing, is this the death knell of the chess series?
Waiting with bated breath for the bongcloud attack video. I'm at like 7/10 pogs for this but bongcloud would get me to 20/10.
True
With these past two videos, we can safely say your next session with gothem will be very entertaining
Lol I started playing chess again because of NL, and I've been using grob as my opening for every game cause I thought the name was funny. No idea it was the worst in the game.
Does anyone remember NL saying we wouldn't get as many uploads now that the baby is born? This man is a content machine
Shhhhh dont remind him of the child
this is pretty easy content to make
This was straight up amazing :D I legit laughed when NL yelled "WE WON!" from a resign !
This is the first time I've legitimately guffawed at a chess video. You talking mad shit about how good the grob opening is and then your opponent resigning is just pure comedy. Kudos Mr. Eggman.
Thank you for your chess videos. Started watching your UA-cam a few years ago for the binding episodes. Slay the spire was my favorite series but this is quickly becoming my new favorite series. Again I thank you
This one is going to a million views boys. The content is just too pogged.
Grob opening is just a whole new level of Pog. A huge fan of it tbh.
I love this type of video. It’s like a nice palate cleanser from all the ‘real’ chess because sometimes you just gotta have fun with it. Would love to see more of these types of vids in the future.
I hope we get the Dutch defense going
For a meme video, there were some great tactics in the games.
This is a fantastic video, very funny GROB defense. I love all these chess videos but I am a fan of the regular 10 min pogfest thinkcity action chess in the normal format. Whatever chess video you make though, I'm here for it!
"G Rank Or Bust! GROB!!"
"... G is a file, not a rank."
"I know. Now the name makes as much sense as the move."
"... GROB it is."
Hey NL, this series has quickly became my new favorite! Please keep it going!!!!
In analysis enable "show lines" right under the Moments tab. It will list some of the best moves for the current player and what the score of the board state will be, so you don't have to guess where the engine wants you to move.
GROB OPEN
GROB SMASH
Thanks for the video NL, Can't wait to watch this when I get home from work!
Ah, the classic Grob opening trap
Love your chess content keep em coming
NL, I love everything about this video
Dude, I like including blitz games! I hope this doesn't push classical out of videos though
That stalemate trick analyzed at the end was actually pog
Absolutely blursed trainwreck of a video, amazing
that first 3 minutes was pure magic.
NL my man, this video was great, but don't be scared to just upload straight up chess content, i live for it!
Three minutes in and this already some of the most editing I have ever seen. Not only cuts, but also a low res image of a tweet? Extremely pogged.
Just wait until the egg hears about the Borg Defense to the Grob Attack.
The Grob Opening is a major power move, up there with playing without your queen.
I've always loved the grob, hurts to see people hating on it so hard.
Chess is mathematically figured out, so naturally people would hate on something that would be bad. There are several reasons as to why that opening is bad
@@Zozakaoo7 what on earth are you talking about, "mathematically figured out" Chess is far from being mathematically figured out as you say. And it never will be.
@@turtlepope7802 no, chess is famously an unsolved game. There is not a single software on earth that can play a perfect game of chess.
@@Zozakaoo7 wtf no. Chess is still unsolved. Thats why ai is better at chess than software like stockfish.
@@turtlepope7802 Chess is theoretically solvable but we don't have anywhere near enough computing power to solve it. Checkers took 18 years to be weakly solved, FYI
Just discovered your channel, first one was you roasting the guy with like 150 elo, had a laugh but just wanted you to know your voice is awesome for commentary
Love ur vids man keep up the good work
Dude I love these chess videos
It's pog o'clock
Loving these
God tier editing skills my dude!
For Grobs attack you don't actually defend the pawn after g4. Grobs was the first opening I ever learned to play
Yes you never play h3. If you have to you push g5 and h4 after bb2 and other moves. I played it one year in the national school championships and won a gold medal.
6:00 Just a rule of thumb in the Sicilian: if there’s a pawn on d4, always take. Otherwise, you surrender the center, which c5 was supposed to stop.
I haven't pogged so hard in the first 4 minutes of an NL video in so long. My gourd is full already.
3:52 was insanely pogged after that grob opening
that stalemate trick at the end was actually really instructive XD
15:08 TAKE THE FRICKIN ROOK!!!!
connection interuption is perfect grob
this chess series man, so pogged
hey these are my main openings maybe thats why im losing so much 🤔
That stalemate line was amazing
10:40 ah yes, the Rosen special.
Also known as OH NO MY QUEEN
the chaos of the first three minutes, as a longtime ennelle viewer, is pure pog
I want Grob Opening to be NL's signature start! What a name!
He opened with Grob, the universe is collapsing!!
Can't you see how FRICKED this is?
Judging from the quality of this video really hope he tries the Bongcloud opening
3 minutes in and I'm wishing we could have gotten a bonus episode of these extra games. Just need more egg-chess in my veins tbh.
what is this blessed content my dude? incredible
glad to see jan in an NL video, have a nice day egg
NL the only UA-camr I can watch for like 9 years and still be entertained
hats off to our newly crowned GRANDMASTER EGG
i knew you had it in ya
Just discovered this channel and I dont regret it
G4 ---> h3 has a very specific task in mind. fianchetto Bf1, followed eventually by d3 pretty early in development to get your dark bishop to F4. (d3 adds the benifit of allowing either knight to d2 if you want to rotate your knights to the king or queen side fairly quickly.) then u can plaster ur dark bishop to the h2/b8 diagonal. Notice they cant really start pushing pawns in the middle without totally screwing over their structure. Also your knights protect you if they start pushing to the 3rd and 4th rank. this is also a position where f3 is actually really nice, because you want to castle queen side after already obliterating your kingside pawn integrity your 1st 2 moves.
Its super gimmicky, but its actually a really fun bullet/blitz opening if people don't understand the idea at play.
PLEASE play the bongcloud next. chess mini-series of 4 minute terrible openings?
9:16 "He's pluggin' it into the ol' computer" LOL
This video was incredible
The opening introduction/explanation and the editing.. we're entering Pog-territory never yet seen on this green Earth.
I love 3 minute chess NL. The blunders are enjoyable. More human feeling
Don't mind me just watching my favorite GRAND MASTER redeem my man Grob by establishing his opening as the definitive opening play
this was chaos. but still a fun watch.
when that screenshot came up I pogged tbh
"Grob" also means grave where I'm from so i found that extra fitting hahah
Baron Egg putting the fear of god into the heart's of his opponent's with the enigmatic Grob's Attack!
That resign on the Grob made me lose my mind
I didn't know that I was missing meme chess all my life. Thank you eggfather!
