Bro he uploads 4 hours of content a day cut him a break! He only has 24 hours in his day, he can only physically upload so much!! If you watch all of his videos in a row then yes you can claim to having watched a 4 hour long NL video (aka a stream)

@AzureFlash Жыл бұрын

So what's the difference between being merely goated, and being goated with the sauce? How much value does the sauce bring to plain goatedness? Does it depend on what type of sauce is used, perhaps how hot the sauce is? I'm still learning zoomer cybergastronomy

New viewer and I've been loving seeing these pop up daily. How you narrate your thought process is actually pretty helpful for super low ELO scrubs like me, especially around creating and exploiting long term weakness in the opponent's position. Love these vids :)

Creating and exploiting long-term weaknesses is actually one of NL's main problems. But yeah, he's no doubt better at that than a complete beginner lol.

@HH-mf8qz Жыл бұрын

You should really try some 960 chess, suits your more fun and risk taking approach of the last few videos. It has the benefit that there is no opening theory in a randomized 960 match, but at the same time lots of strategies cope up spontaneously. And it’s still fair because both sides are symmetrical. Would love it if you gave it a try NL!

@maxkho00 Жыл бұрын

I think you mean "contrast". "Dichotomy" means something else.

@maxkho00 Жыл бұрын

Although I don't really see the contrast. He did really well in the first game to get a better position, then missed the opportunity to capitalise on that better position by trapping his opponent's bishop, but then found a nice fork to gain even more material. His only real mistakes (missing a free bishop was a missed win, not a mistake) were rash king moves in the end. And, in the second game, he also missed a simple fork and then a pretty routine mate-in-2 which involved just capturing a hanging bishop. As far as I'm concerned, both games were of similar quality - both were played at around the 1500-1600 level.

@lukehallam1881 Жыл бұрын

It is kind of funny how in the second game he saw the queen wasn't actually defending the pawn but didn't see that the same queen wasn't defending the bishop. Also, it wasn't just a free bishop, it was mate in 2.
