58:32 The rollercoaster of emotions within a 900 millisecond timespan is heartbreaking: "I lost on- I won on- draw by stalemaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate noooooooooooooo"
You aren't missing anything. NL didn't see the move. He thought he blundered and resigned out of embarrassment. He only realized he was winning afterwards when chat told him.
9:54 The worst part is that I DID see that in the game and went "nah, that'll lose a knight". So that thing you said about 1400's Elo players making 90 Elo moves is ringing true right now
1:04 Pretty sure rook B3 traps the enemy queen. Rook covers the B file, queen covers rank 1, and then the A file is covered variously by the rook, pawn, knight, rook, queen, and bishop. He was just talking about possibly being able to trap the queen.
That first game is pretty funny NL: I feel like I can trap your queen (no you can't) Opponent 20 seconds later: greedily grabs the a pawn and allows NL to trap their queen with rb3 NL: welp, gotta defend that knight by adding another piece to the incoming pin I guess
NL you should know that the anti-caro kann maneuver that got your bishop trapped at around 2:00 is a Levy special so that's why 1400s have that up their sleeves
Decided to put a little harpischord jazz concerto on in the background whilst watching this and with God as my witness, it certainly added a certain je ne sais quoi to some of these moves.
7:02 h5 and h6 are both fine. In the caro-kann you move your white bishop to the outside of your pawn chain which will be closed with e6. Your opponents h4 can catch your bishop because of this. So you have to either hide your bishop on h7 or stop the opponent to play h5.
I never watch chess content except yours and i almost never watch your content except chess (and maybe slay the spire or back when you played ftl). Please keep making these for as long as you can
Wonder how many people NL has inspired to pick up chess only to find they're complete ass, chess is real hard. I learnt when I was a kid so the other kids got rekt
funnily enough, my experience with chess so far has been friends or family trying to get me to play and when I reluctantly agreed I usually wiped the floor with them xD Id never go out tho and try to play seriously like NL does. Not goin down that rabbithole xDD
24:30 If it's disrespectful then I will happily disrespect my opponents. Enough of them still stalemate even at 1700 rapid that I'm only screwing myself by not forcing them to play it out.
Brilliant. Levy is making boring guess the ELO based off other people's games, NL is the Pog champ and creating the games himself. It's like 5D chess (if chess is even real).
The move is actually Rb3, trapping the black queen. I actually saw that while watching and paused to setup the position, Stockfish agrees white is up about +7 after Rb3 EDIT: was hoping NL would do the analysis and see that move but he didn't. Unfortunate since he even mentioned the possibility of trapping the queen a couple moves earlier, but didn't look for it at the right time
First match, missed an easy queen at the start. They over extended queen black when the took pawn on A3. If white had then progressed their rook to b3, they would have been forced to take and lose their queen the trade as their were no safe places to back into
This was like watching a slowmo bus crash involving 24 orphans who have just been told they were adopted. In every chess video if NL moved a single pawn forward for several consecutive opportunities he would have won back to back.
Hey NL. Could you please play unEpic multiplayer with 3 friends? I recently discovered this old game but I don't have friends to play with :c And nobody on UA-cam goes all the way in uE MP simply because some maps are hard.
I find it very entertaining and I see that he is far far above my skill level, but the amounts of times he just is blind and doesn't see bishops or queens is way too much.
Bullet is the chess equivalent of eating a whole tub of ice cream and feeling like shit afterwards
Great analogy, even more so because I'm pretty sure whenever Ryan stops playing chess he always comes back for more
I don't know why I keep doing it, makes me feel like shit consistently, it's amazing
58:32 The rollercoaster of emotions within a 900 millisecond timespan is heartbreaking: "I lost on- I won on- draw by stalemaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate noooooooooooooo"
Resigning when totally and completely winning is so funny. That’s bullet baby
I can't imagine ever resigning in bullet
54:58 Never have I cracked up harder at a castle, absolute psycho move.
52:09 was incredibly triggering lmao. He was easily winning and he resigned
That's bullet baby.
NL needs to reinstall Levy's Chrome extension that periodically chimes "The clock is a piece!"
The NL chess story arc continues
This has been the best video yet
“ What’s wrong with my brain???? “
Northern Lion, 2022
This arc is full of twists and turns. Last week it was “im getting good at bullet again”. This week, we may never return.
I'm so delighted chess is back dude. I was starting to watch the back catalogue of old uploads 😅
Am I missing something at 52:09? He takes the rook with his queen and is up material.
Yes and not only that, his move was the best move at that position.
Yeah I had to pause when he resigned to double check I didnt miss something lol
you're not missing anything, engine has it at -20
You aren't missing anything. NL didn't see the move. He thought he blundered and resigned out of embarrassment. He only realized he was winning afterwards when chat told him.
9:54 The worst part is that I DID see that in the game and went "nah, that'll lose a knight".
So that thing you said about 1400's Elo players making 90 Elo moves is ringing true right now
Man I was really hoping he would review the game at 16:03 showing the mate in 1 sitting there for 2 moves
Truly an Egg moment to miss the mate in one, trade away all of his piece advantage to pawns, then accidentally mate himself in the endgame
Gotta love NL resigning in a winning position after an advantageous exchange.
1:04 Pretty sure rook B3 traps the enemy queen. Rook covers the B file, queen covers rank 1, and then the A file is covered variously by the rook, pawn, knight, rook, queen, and bishop. He was just talking about possibly being able to trap the queen.
This is probably the most hilarious chess video I've seen in my life, great content honestly
46:40 I love that couple of seconds of realization
2:04 I love how nearly every player of the Tal variation doesn't know how to play Tal variation.
Myself included, it's just so fun regardless.
That first game is pretty funny
NL: I feel like I can trap your queen
(no you can't)
Opponent 20 seconds later: greedily grabs the a pawn and allows NL to trap their queen with rb3
NL: welp, gotta defend that knight by adding another piece to the incoming pin I guess
NL you should know that the anti-caro kann maneuver that got your bishop trapped at around 2:00 is a Levy special so that's why 1400s have that up their sleeves
Dude I am at 1150 and got my bishop trapped like 5 times before I bothered learning anything againt caro kann
5:25 - You can see the moment his brain goes sicko mode
So much chess content and the egg finally agrees to the free content analysis of God awful games I'm so pogged rn
HE LEARNED THE SHOW LINE BUTTON
NL's chess titles and thumbnails are 2nd to none. Not to say that every Egg vid isn't an insta click because it is but still.
+2
Decided to put a little harpischord jazz concerto on in the background whilst watching this and with God as my witness, it certainly added a certain je ne sais quoi to some of these moves.
7:02 h5 and h6 are both fine. In the caro-kann you move your white bishop to the outside of your pawn chain which will be closed with e6.
Your opponents h4 can catch your bishop because of this. So you have to either hide your bishop on h7 or stop the opponent to play h5.
39:30 i fell out of my chair oml hanging rook aaaaaaaaa lmao
i gasped out loud. HOW DO YOU NOT SEE THAT
I never watch chess content except yours and i almost never watch your content except chess (and maybe slay the spire or back when you played ftl). Please keep making these for as long as you can
The old Ben Kenobi used to play Benoni while hiding at the planet Benko.
I cackled out loud at that brilliancy, the timing was so perfect
He learned the "Show Line" button! LET'S GO!
24:25 MOST DESERVED CHECKMATE OF ALL TIMES!
NL chess is one of the most intense rollercoasters anyone could engage with.
He makes the exact same face every time he blunders and I love it
Or the squint when he espies a dubious move
Wow this was a wild ride. Never change NL.
”Dont go here, that would be very stupid” also forced mate in two, winning on the spot 👍
Wonder how many people NL has inspired to pick up chess only to find they're complete ass, chess is real hard. I learnt when I was a kid so the other kids got rekt

Yo NL, don‘t forfeit in bullet. It‘s bullet literally anything can happen.
24:30 If it's disrespectful then I will happily disrespect my opponents. Enough of them still stalemate even at 1700 rapid that I'm only screwing myself by not forcing them to play it out.
NL be like "I'm not scared" bro my bataljon coming after you
Full range of emotions at 58:32 😅
that first bullet checkmate was pretty cracked
Brilliant. Levy is making boring guess the ELO based off other people's games, NL is the Pog champ and creating the games himself. It's like 5D chess (if chess is even real).
so happy youre playing chess again, very pogged imo.
Ah yes, the insanity power move, truly a classic
This man has great chess instincts. Unfortunately his opponents have great calculation.
sippin drinks and loving the chess boss
Chess! Chess! Chess! Now if NL starts learning 120 star, I'll have the best bg videos possible!
Knight to B5 at 1:05 would've been pretty sick
I think it actually doesnt work because bishop takes on b4 with check
Edit: nevermind I was wrong
Doesn't work, Bxb4+, you have to block, then Qa5 defending the fork.
The move is actually Rb3, trapping the black queen. I actually saw that while watching and paused to setup the position, Stockfish agrees white is up about +7 after Rb3
EDIT: was hoping NL would do the analysis and see that move but he didn't. Unfortunate since he even mentioned the possibility of trapping the queen a couple moves earlier, but didn't look for it at the right time
1:10 Rb3 just wins the queen yeah?
The knight on c3 is undefended
Rb3 blocks queen from knight tho
@@samuelbailey2000 u right
New chess video = pog
52:04
it hurt me, why not just take the rook and continue on with the game D:
Excellent games northernlion!
I wish he realized the knight was pinned one move earlier
First match, missed an easy queen at the start. They over extended queen black when the took pawn on A3. If white had then progressed their rook to b3, they would have been forced to take and lose their queen the trade as their were no safe places to back into
this is the last one isnt it?
seems like it, sadge
Keep the chess train going
He's back!!!
I love bullet. More chess content pls
This was like watching a slowmo bus crash involving 24 orphans who have just been told they were adopted.
In every chess video if NL moved a single pawn forward for several consecutive opportunities he would have won back to back.
Can someone explain the draw at the end? There must be a rule I don't know about.
It's a stalemate. It happens when the opponent has no available moves and the king is not in check.
That's bullet babyyyy!
PLAY THE LAZARUS PROJECT. It's like vampire survivor except with mechs and you kill alien bugs!
Is that white noise in the background?
Love the chess NL!
Where has the chess content gone NL?
Fully engaged
what made the last game a stalemate?
His opponent had no legal moves (Queen and bishop deny all moves, but he was not in check)
@@victory296 thankyou!
YESSSS YESSSS CHESS BABY
I thought this might have been a one-off, but I’m pogged out of my gourd to see the return of chess
I was the chatter who said this was Magnus's burner account (I meant him because of the Norway flag) lol
Missing a 2 move checkmate at 4:11 is serious 900 vibes
More chess poggies
The pog rain falls
I begin my bullet chess journey
NL ends his
(X)
The pogs keep coming and they won't stop coming.
Like a wise man once said: *AAAAHHHHHHH!*
Ive missed the NL chess banter
Resigning after hanging a minor piece in bullet seems a bit of an overreaction lol, those games are volatile enough to come back from it.
1:07 its a terrible move
Because of rb3
I'm a 1980 in rapid, and a 870 in bullet
Why does he always gobble up useless pawns under time pressure when it makes it so much easier for the opponent to draw!? Just leave one!
Yooo you should do a fallout 4 play through I’m watching your fallout new Vegas series and it’s so goood!
I love chess
Chess chess chess chess chess
any chess masters can enlighten me why the last game was a draw when nl had so many more pieces
Not chess master, but the bishop is covered by the draw popup. The bishop blacks the white escape square
@@wsemenske i still dont get how black even threatens white from that position is there like a special case that is happening in this scenario?
@@Igions It’s stalemate, it’s black’s turn to move, but there isn’t a single space they can move to without it being a check. This results in a draw
@@gghh-of1bb if there isnt any space for black to move doesnt that make black lose?
This was hilarious. Look how we forced our own queen trade, look how we gave ourselves no counterplay, he’s begging for mercy lol
Commenting for engagement
Try 1|1 its my favorite shitstorm
Hey NL. Could you please play unEpic multiplayer with 3 friends? I recently discovered this old game but I don't have friends to play with :c And nobody on UA-cam goes all the way in uE MP simply because some maps are hard.
Good chess
I find it very entertaining and I see that he is far far above my skill level, but the amounts of times he just is blind and doesn't see bishops or queens is way too much.
my man really called the tal variation of the caro an "insane gambit".
You need to do 1 | 1 😭😭😭
