Playing Co-Op Chess With 170 ELO Partner (Stream Highlight) 

Green Light for this Video.

NL: " You should move a knight." Dan: moves a knight NL: *fucking wheeze* Oh yeah, this is gonna be poggy.

"You have another rook!" A good lesson in object permanence.

Pawn pawn pawn will never let you dawn

"Let's say... Knight" "THAT'S CALLED THE OLD FASHIONED FORKICITY!" "...I'm gonna give that one a red" "What!? It can't be harm- oh"

"I DON'T EVEN HAVE A ROOK ANYMORE!!!!!"

I love Dan's "Wouldn't have been my move" to the correct move. He's just so sure that hanging pieces is the way to win.

I like when NL advises the move, Dan makes a move that leaves pieces hanging, and NL groans like he’s having teeth pulled without anesthesia

NLs face was cosplaying "hide the pain harold" so many times. This was the most entertaining worst chess I've ever seen.

Dans pure excitement for an amazing move, for that piece to immediately get captured by a piece he didn’t see is so pure

When Dan is saying "If they wanna trade I'll trade" for literally no reason 4 moves into a game I can only imagine NL feels exactly like Levy felt

To sum up exactly why I love Daniel can only be defined by that Knight move.

2:01:59 this is the greatest chess game I have ever seen. The unstoppable 8 pawn blitz attack

"That's BM though... Its a draw." YOU HAVE A SECOND ROOK! I was fucking dying

Errr streamer can I please acquiesce a horsey to make a tasty fork, or err perhaps I could gambit a Cersei Lannister spoon?

49:35 Dan: takes a Night instead of the Queen. NL: "green light for sure"

Playing alongside a former Big Brother runner up! My Man's movin' up in the world!

1:32:10 "You should move your Rook" literally one(1) option. "Love it"

Link for those of you that left before this masterpiece: 2:02:00

lmao i thought you were exaggerating with 170 before those knight moves in the opening

NL: "You should move a rook, AKA a Castle" Dan: *Actually Castles* NL: "Not what I had in mind"

Oh I'm cracking up and getting so frustrated at the same time.

"with 170 ELO partner" You can just say Dan.

Got to love hearing Dan say "Hmmm That's not the move I would do!" and see Ryans face start to change like Bilbos when Frodo shows him the ring.

Northerlion's reaction to Dan saying "I thought that was a bad move from you," had me dying 1:24:09

Absolutely lost it at 1:25:15 “you could have gotten a free pawn”

I already watched this entire session on Dan's channel but I think I'm about to rewatch the entire thing because NLs facial expressions at some of Dan's moves add a whole new dimension of entertainment to this

You can tell how far NL's personal growth has come by how he's able to laugh off some of these calls, I would lose my mind

If your knight has a fork and one of the pieces forked is also a knight, you don't actually have a fork. This is the kind of analysis that I need

I like how it says (stream highlights) but it's the whole stream.

"I refuse to castle into that nightmare"

That draw when Dan kept moving the same rook was hilarious, you could see the pain in NL's face

1:55:09 the "NOOOOOOO-" cut off into "I see it now" has me laughing out loud - incredible content

I am beyond shocked that they won the game where it was 10 moves in and Dan had only said pawn. That might have been the most entertaining thing I have ever seen in my life, this whole video is hilarious from start to finish. Please do this again but with the longer times, my stomach hurts from laughing and my gourd is infinitely pogged

When the boys are drift compatible though. Oh baby

I THINK that this guy MAYBE watches Game of thrones

49:23 duuuuuude the queeeeeen

1:34:09 this is the greatest moment I've ever seen. "But...but hear me out...send in the hounds.." INSANE BLUNDER LMAO. NL's facial reaction is just amazing.

1:10:36 NL's look of pure terror as he realizes Dan's imminent blunder

100% sure yayitogrillo was intentionally stalling to keep the timer somewhat even between NL and them.

10:43 NL really had to repeat what Dan said like it was a riddle to translate the Danglish.

Dan: I really feel like we're vibing NL: *massaging head to keep the aneurysm from blowing*

This was so much fun, would love to see another segment of this

1:28:10 love the distress, followed by the pondering, followed by frustration haha

Every time Dan says "Wouldn't have been my move, but okay" it's a beautiful moment

Calmly, "You should move faster. I would say probably at least 10x faster?"

I have a feeling Dan likes Game of thrones

2:02:00 for Glory

Dan: A3 was wide open NL: THERE’S NOTHING ON A3

This is maybe my new all-time favorite NL+Dan series.

NL finally must know what it feels like to be youtube comment section.

2:01:55 that's gotta be the best chess coach I've ever seen.

Amazing stuff, this needs to happen more. Also would love see you coaching Dan up to 1k on like 5 or 10 minute. Also would LOVE you to analyze these games with Dan so you can discuss how his brain was working. I think it would be a great learning experience for everyone!

There's something charming about watching new players play. I love this guy.

Watching Dan Move that same knight around in multiple games was killing me. I kept saying "There are two knights, Dan." Eventually it reminded me of the episode of Star Trek: TNG where Picard is being tortured (Doubly funny cause NL kinda looks like Picard) and I just pictured a ragged tortured Ryan screaming "THERE. ARE. TWO. KNIGHTS."

One of those videos you dont think you'll watch all of, and then suddenly notice its dark out, and the video is almost done.

Now I know how Hikaru and Levy feel when watching sub battles.

The sequence of events starting at 1:34:24 is absolutely stupendous.

1:34:00 NL gives Dan exactly what he wanted.

this was so painful to watch yet so entertaining. I paid for the whole seat but only needed the edge.

this may be the greatest thing to come out of 2020 and I'm not even joking Dan shouting "You idiot!!" at Ryan's misclick had me dying

I never loved a video as much as this one

Dan yelling “NOOO... I see it now” was pure laughable pog

Dan unironically making the 4000 IQ galaxy brain moves at the two hour mark.

bro I love everytime NL makes a move and Dan goes 'Not what I would've done' And how NL doesn't even comment, just merely raises his eyebrows or something. Quality as always.

Top 10 anime betrayals: 1:28:28 "I don't have a rook anymore" 1:44:35

Watching NL slowly sink into his chair as Dan thinks of a move with 10 seconds on the clock killed me.

This has to be the funniest video of Dan and NL. I haven't maxed out on pogs and laughter like this since the Team Unity Tuesday Warzones.

Enjoyed the hand and brain chess, but I think you guys should leave the last min or 30 secs to the hand so there won't be as many flagged losses. I've seen others play and that's what they do as well. I think it would be fun to see you do this again with those parameters.

No one ignores free pieces and defenses quite like Daniel

NL comparing this game mode to piloting a jaeger is highly galaxy brained.

NL saying "he doesn't know" as he fails to capitalize on the only point of his series of moves is pure content; 1:56:35

14:10 missed rock tinted, aka mate in 1

Co-Op? I think you meant Versus

I'm not here for the chess, I'm here for NL's face journey 😂

This is so good, I love trying to figure out what Dan had in mind whenever he has a visceral reaction to NL making *the correct* move.

Already saw this on Dan's channel, i thought you wouldn't upload this since you haen't uploaded any other GECS', but i'm leavin' a like brother

170 elo player: 400 elo? This is taking candy from a baby.

This was hilarious watching the passive aggressiveness intensify, along with NLs priceless facial expressions!

Dan's play is what chess was meant to be. All heart. I find it funny how he REFUSES to move the knight back to the 3rd rank (or 6th). He just will not do it. He also doesn't like development moves. Like moving a bishop one space up "This is the only spot for it, so.... ok... I guess" or something like that. lol. And yeah, you can't fork a knight with another knight. His optimism is infectious though. :)

Please! More of this, this is a joy to watch

What I learned from this video is - if Dan was a parent to all the chess pieces, child services would probably remove the bishops from his care due to neglect. Most of the games they didn't even move from their starting square.

I havent laughed that hard in a while. The game with the first 502 moves being pawn and his reaction really got me.

10:41 I love nl's brain here lol

Dan losing his mind at the triple fork in game one was incredible

Holy duck. I don't normally enjoy Dan content. This was brilliant. Please do more of this content? Missed mate in 1, forgotten pieces, hanging pieces never capitalized on. And laughter the whole way!

I can tell that NL is a man of culture for listing Cait Sith as one of this top three FF7 characters.

Loving the stream highlights. I know you said you're gonna be doing more twitch in the future, and if you're keeping the highlights and VODs like this, 2021 will be the year of the pog

Im not sure why but dan getting pogged up is contagious happiness.

It's so good that the one time he went into analysis to show how far up they were, he picked the moment where he'd been the one at fault for a 30 point swing back in the opponent's favour lmao

I can't remember the last two hour long video that had me audibly chuckling this consistently.

I love how Dan seems to think about chess almost as if its a football game.

3:49 🌟 *Dan:* "WOAH! We got- We gotta..!- We got a check..! And a- A steal??" 🤩🥺 *Ryan:* "Daniel, I think.. You should move a PAWN." 😌 *Dan:* "NOOOOH!!!!" 😭

We need more of this

This hit different, I think I need more of this format.

This video was hilarious. One of my favorite vids all year.

They should do this with 3 people, a strong player as the brain, says what type of piece will be moved, an intermediate player as the nerve, says which specific piece it is, and a beginner player as the hand, who decides how to move it

Re-Watched this video probably three times now. Solid Gold content.

Dan's that D&D character with 20 Charisma but 4 Wisdom leading the party into increasingly absurd and dangerous scenarios.
