I have a mission, from now on I will like and comment every video NL posts. This man is pinacle of content and must be shown to everyone. Latest spiffingbrit video talks about the algorithm a little and I would like to help NL as much as I can. Thank you for everything, you've been there for us and I believe it's our time to be there for you.
Back in university chess, we used to play this 2v2 where you give the captured pieces to your teammate to drop. Crazy good times :-) Loving the content NL!
If you like this mode so much, genuinely, why not play shogi? You can use international pieces which denote their movement (shogi cz) so you don't have to lose your mind remembering the kanji.
@@williammitchell6254 just google shogi playground and in settings select shogi cz. I prefer those, they keep the kanji, but have an icon showing the movement, whereas the international pieces just look like a mess, even more so than regular kanji.
You can only get an extra queen by capturing a queen or promoting. Your opponent can only get their queen back by capturing your queen or promoting. Apparently if you capture a promoted queen it only counts as a pawn (or maybe that was because the promoted queen was captured immediately). I think the max you could get, therefore, is 10 queens and you'd have to have both players coordinating to accomplish it.
@@solh0029 You can capture the opponent's 8 pawns (or promoted queens), then place and promote them yourself. 2 original queens + 16 pawns = 18 queens maximum.
Yo, NL I actually just learned today that in the Ruy Lopez if you take that's actually not a free pawn at 16:35 (at least in normal chess, no idea about this) because he has queen to d4 attacking both the knight and the pawn.
According to lichess Qd4 is a draw, but after. It thinks Qg5 is better move since white bishop is gone and Qg5 threatens both knight at e5 and pawn at g2. Then white has to defend with N@g4, protecting the night and blocking g2 pawn. Then black captures Bxg4, white recaptures NxG4 and black already winning as it has BN in pocket, while white has BP.
Hey NL, just because you're trying to learn opening theory, in the Ruy Lopez exchange variation (following 4. Bxc6 dxc6) you do not actually have a free pawn, as 5. Nxe5 can be met with multiple queen moves to win back the pawn, and castles is the main line (and strongest in the position i think?). Anyways great video, crazy house is entertaining, though I am looking forward to the return of normal rapid games as well :D
I couldn't see properly and I thought his ELO was 2624 and I was at first like "The egg's done it- how the heck-" But then I saw it was 1624 and my heart dropped.
Play bughouse with Dan pls :) (Bughouse is like Crazyhouse but then there are two simultaneous games playing, and instead of getting to airdrop your capture pieces, you get to airdrop the pieces that the one in the other chess game captured) (So in conclusion you team up with Dan)
It seems like a strange usage all around, but in the, let's be honest, new sense of 'it makes us want to ask the obvious question' it basically works. but if you ever see someone actually use it in the 'beggaring' sense...
The flawed calculations in here after 9:12 are hilarious 😂 at any point of the forced calculations nl does he forgets and so does his opponent that they have 4 pieces they have that can be dropped to block and stop his attack 10/10
9:56 Am I blind? The opponent just gives up their queen instead of putting a pond or any other piece to prevent check. They will still lose the queen I think but gets something more out of it. Seems like other players are not utilizing the piece drops enough, while NL just constantly attacks and destroys them. I ain't complainin' tho, I'm pogging edit: NL also realized the block after
hey nothernern lion my cat is on my lap, im, drawing but i cant really now on my laptop cause my cat wants to be in the lap so i cant use my drawing tablet so im watching u now. ilu ehg
Oh damn..... that salt must have been pouring from that wound in the last game..... Ive never watched this variant of chess before, but it looks really fun 🤣
Daily chess is the way forward my man also I am 1388 and would love to have a game as I feel like I am improving quite alot recently from 900 -1388 in less than a year if you want a game Conorcodyalexchess is my gamertag on chess .com
Is there even a shogi variation on chess com though? There's a Chaturanga variant, but it has different rules from Shogi. And obviously Japanese chess works very different anyway (no colours, but directions of pieces, each piece can promote differently and the way pieces move is VERY different). Heck, the playing field is different with being 9 x 9 squares and having three rows that can promote a piece, if you desire. Pawns only move up, only take up. Stuff is _very_ different. In my humble opinion, it's not as versatile as traditional chess. Even when still a lot of fun to play!
@@PHeMoX it doesn't necessarily have to be on chess com. there's 81 dojo-- and heck at this point i'll even accept him playing shogi in clubhouse games i understand how different it is, but that's why it could be a fun video.
Absolutely incredible. My dude lost one game and his ELO dropped by an entire Dan Gheesling.
It sounds a lot less impressive when you put it like that.
@@evanseifert8858 I would say nah, he dropped an ENTIRE HUMAN BEINGS chess skill in one crazy house game
Henry was so excited to have MI2 that he didnt realise you had MI1

ok but will you mr beast pewdiepie kpop K-pop minecraft his videos??
I really enjoy your usual chess content, and this is a really fresh fun addition! I hope you keep it in the mix, really cool!
You would say that
"This is probably the last one before geoguesser"
11 minutes into a 20+ minute video
into a 24+* minute video. keep your significant figures.
@@calinguga 20+ is still accurate! It's just not as precise!
@@Arkouchie true
I'm all for more of these plays on the checkered board
id definitely love to see more normal chess after these oddities
I mean yeah, but I also want him to keep doing crazy house, this is great
Ive never played chess other than the notmal format.... This is the first time ive seen 'crazy house' chess... I wanna try it 🤣
I hope he keeps going through these variants. Three check, 960, king of the hill, pawn horde would all be cool to see
Personally waiting for 960.
Screw chess, let's see some actual Shogi.

That was the only thing that kept me away from shogi I couldn't find an app on my phone that had them in English

They talk about this a lot on the NLSS
The sacrifices in crazyhouse seems much more stronger than in regular chess. Hope to see queen sac into pawn drop in the future.
So proud of our egg, managed to pull an uno reverse card on the last minute 👆💯
It's pure BM, but I really want to see someone style on their opponent in this mode and get 18 queens on the board.
it is even possible to get 18 queens on board without checkmating your opponent?
@@fromfareast3070 Yes, if you absolutely stomp them and maintain all your pieces, you can hide the queens behind knights, bishops, rooks, and you king

@@solh0029 Yeah that's right, mb i forgot after capturing a promoted queen it turns back into a pawn.
Its raining poggers

Weird chess: exists
NL: lets make it even more weird
How did that pawn get there?
Like 1:15
This is a fun mode. Glad to see NL enjoying it immensely
This variant is awesome, just non stop aggression. And egg seems to be pretty good at it. Fun change of pace on the chess content
23:12 black has a nice checkmate:
drop knight on h3 and bishop on g2

This variant is even less controllable than chess already is, I love it
Crazyhouse is NL's final chess evolution. The man cannot be stopped.
Man i really appreciate your content
Pogs airdropping from the sky.
Its a weird deja vu hearing the same thing again after seeing it live
That guitar line from Crazytown - Butterfly is actually sampled from Red Hot Chili Peppers - Pretty Little Ditty.
at 13:44 you should have taken the knight with the bishop and then place the knight to fork the queen at f3
Nl beats crazyhouse noobs with his elite Shogi knowledge
Crazyhouse has such fun creative attacks, love watching it!
24 minutes of phenomenal moves straight to the gourd
Not a crazy house player, but at 13:56 couldnt he take the knight with the bishop and then if his opponent took back fork the king and queen?
So, Just above average play. Nice to see no clickbait
I couldn't see properly and I thought his ELO was 2624 and I was at first like "The egg's done it- how the heck-" But then I saw it was 1624 and my heart dropped.
HENRY YOU BLEW IT
I hope Baron Egg plays some fairy chess mixed in with CH and standard chess.
this is amazing
Pogged for sure
When you realize the average IQ is 100 and the title is 101 IQ play..
I don't like this chess variant, but I liked the videos anyway because it's NL chess, which I love.
Play bughouse with Dan pls :) (Bughouse is like Crazyhouse but then there are two simultaneous games playing, and instead of getting to airdrop your capture pieces, you get to airdrop the pieces that the one in the other chess game captured)

This is insane and I love it.
So this variant is just basically shogi with airdropping checkmates, got it. Also I don't think NL knows what 'begging the question' is.
Shogi sounds incredibly hype then, dang.
It seems like a strange usage all around, but in the, let's be honest, new sense of 'it makes us want to ask the obvious question' it basically works.
but if you ever see someone actually use it in the 'beggaring' sense...

9:11 - Your knight can attack b6
Loving the content!
20:06 I haven't gone through every line, but I think @h7 would have been a really strong move
what
This mode is POG
9:56 Am I blind? The opponent just gives up their queen instead of putting a pond or any other piece to prevent check. They will still lose the queen I think but gets something more out of it. Seems like other players are not utilizing the piece drops enough, while NL just constantly attacks and destroys them. I ain't complainin' tho, I'm pogging

This was great.
Ever try Shogi? It has 'airdrops' too.
Knights seem super strong in this gametype
I thought my man was hacking for a second with that pawn chec
I want to see what Levy can do with this
I'd like to see you try Fog of War aka DOTAChess (not to be confused with AutoChess :P)
Crazy house chess is really interestingly!
He's well underway to becoming GM in crazy house!
Awww man! I was hoping for Bughouse chess, but instead it’s Crazyhouse!
Ryab will climb the ranks and become the #1 chess player worldwide. No doubt about it.
Nice 1st game.
Please play more normal chess but these vids arent bad either
nl escalates the attack.
donkaS
Cmon you guys, Thomas was playing regular chess lol
didn't call airstrike a single time
Come my lady, come come my lady :')
We gonna just let the dab slide then or?...
i don't understand why your opponents never block your checks lol
Chess guy you should try Shogi
Henryyyyyy
WTF happened at 1:30 with that floating pawn on the left side?
The opponent placed it at e5
So basically you're playing unbalanced Shogi now?
