Reacting to Unbelievable 290 Elo Chess Video 

1:20 You can also tell it's the Vampire Opening because it sucks

Dan's bullet strategy is essentially sacrificing all of his pieces as part of an advanced algorithm of low elo chess that it forces his opponent to capture in such a way that they never have the time to attack Dan's king.

Love Daniel pre moving to hang his pieces which eats at his opponent’s clock. When his opponent has only 10 secs left all Daniel needs is to hang 10 pieces. Galactic Brain

the fact the report says 0 blunders after that first game is crazy

15 moves - 3 mistakes, 9 blunders, 2 missed wins - and he still wins

"thats a fork? thats not even chopsticks" lmao

It's like watching Zapp Brannigan drawing up battle plans.

“To call this slow would be an insult to Mollases” is probably the sickest line NL has ever said

E4: 48% D4: 40% C4: 16% Everything else: -4%

Trying to play Bullet chess with dan on a physical board would be the most exhausting minute of your life

The virgin 1500 ELO player vs the Chad 290 ELO player

Dan getting scholar mated at the end is the most fitting way for his streak to end

14:23 Dan uses the famed Levi Rossman gambit of making an illegal move with his opponent's piece.

The strategy employed here is confuse the s*** out of your opponent with your absurd moves and they will waste all of their time trying to figure out what is this guy thinking

He prejacked 8 more wins while he was winning the first game, incredible

I feel like im awful at Chess at 1100, this makes me feel much better

Levy teaches NL, when will we have a NL teaching Dan collab?

The problem isn’t Dan’s strategy being “screw chess go fast” it’s that every opponent just lets him do it

I feel like Dan’s approach to chess evolved from playing with other people in person, and just gaslighting them the entire game.

"Not a legal move... But you absolutely have to respect the audacity" 😆😆😆😆

14:51 literally had me wheezing to death. Dan's a treasure, and NL's straight face commentary just makes it so much better.

I'm like 1400 ELO in classical but never tried blitz, so while I laugh at all the blunders I have a feeling under the time constraints I wouldn't do much better cause I'm used to taking like 30 seconds a move

“Rarely do you see the enemy king cross the entire board” Killing me NL

You know you’re really good friends with somebody when you can roast them for half an hour and know you’re still gonna kick it later and have a good time.

Someone needs to tell this guy about castling. Its a helpful little technique

0:03, the satisfied smirk on his face, while having 12 blunders and 6 missed wins is priceless.

I cried laughing at the analysis of Dan grabbing his opponent's queen. Chess is blessed.

watching dan blundering 4 pieces in a row and still win every game is absolutely hilarious and i love it

The game with the king going across the board without any other piece getting developed had me in tears

Dan plays chess like it's not a turn based game

The enemy can't counter our attacks if you don't know what you're doing.

prejacking this video into my brain

I thought for sure NL would bring up the fact that dan had 3 mistakes, 9 blunders, and 2 missed wins at 22:20 You love to see it.

"One of the least deserved wins i've seen in my entire life" some of his Isaac record begs to differ

Fun fact if he took the knight at 3:03, it would've been mate in 1. Well done on spotten that hidden gem Dan, NL I expect better ;)

Dan: "My Elo has doubled since we last met, Egg." NL: "Good... twice the meme, double the pog."

"and then he tries to move the opponent's king"

"That's not a fork. That's not even chopsticks."

Rookie to q7 is pawn all day

14:20 is just incredible

My favorite thing about watching beginners in chess is how because they're not really thinking about their opponent's moves or really what they're doing on the next move, the game basically unfolds like magic before their eyes. Dan moves a piece and is astonished as chess just happens in front of him

I NEED to see Levy react to this.

Dan's reaction to the loss had me in pieces. Priceless.

This is now a dan reaction channel

I believe this is the hangmans gambit, when you hang so many pieces your opponent forgets about your king and then runs out of time trying to capture everything you sent to the gallows.

I don’t know if I’ve ever laughed for 33 minutes and 31 seconds straight before

I want a vid where Dan and Ryan play each other in bullet until Dan wins

The most kind-hearted and supportive reactions to the most illegal and ridiculous move attempts really make this video.

I think my favorite part is how pleased Dan is with himself

Pogged out of my gourd for this

One of my most favorite videos, absolutely legendary game play and commentary

This is the hardest I've laughed at a RU-vid video in, like, a year. I suck at Chess, but NL's reactions to the insanity are amazing.

22:25 15 move game. 3 mistakes, 9 blunders and 2 missed wins

nl you gotta get levy to review dan’s games. pretty sure he’d have a heart attack.

Dan's really benefiting from the Zapp Brannigan approach to combat. Just sacrifice wave after wave of your pieces to the enemy, until they time-out. They can't attack your king, if they're too busy taking every other piece *Roll Safe meme*

I absolutely love these videos. I really need to see Dan analyzing NLs games live. Dan is such a great guy and enjoys everything he does even if it's not a good move lol.

I was actually crying of laughter at Dan's grabbing the opponent's king. I struggled to breathe for a solid minute. This is the hardest I've laughed in like 2 years.

These videos are so good, hilarious commentary on top of hilarious plays.

This is exactly what I needed today, thank you NL and Dan for the pure joy that was watching this video

This is like watching "Purge casts a pub" back in the day.

I laughed soooo hard that I started feeling guilty because Dan is such a good dude.

I laughed so hard at this! Thanks Enelle! Please keep the content coming!

"You think you lose" - Dan Gheesling while playing chess Truly one of the greatest quotes of the century

i rewatch these like every couple weeks. need more.

He makes awful moves, but he makes them fast

If only someone had explained to me when I was younger that the way to win at chess is to move pieces quickly at random and beat your opponent on the clock.

I want to see Dan play 5 minutes a side; he'd actually get to/have to think.

3:06 "Just take the knight" You know that hangs mate in 1 right? 10. gxf4 Qh4#

Brilliant straitlaced commentary, you could feel the simmering rage bubbling beneath the surface. To see dan, in his destabilizing element and commentary that exemplifies the bewildered mindset of his opponents is a testament to how this man came to become a former big brother runner up. Sometimes, all you need to do is stall for time and unsettle your opponent. I will definitely be taking Dan's teaching to heart.

I usually browse youtube very aimlessly, never making an effort to consciously keep up with any certain channel or series.....but these videos are my absolute favorite right now. So damn funny. Thank you for this

Love the tête-à-tête of Dan/NL reacting to each other

I'm pretty sure this is the only unedited RU-vid video that i have genuinely wheezed at.

3:01 actually im pretty sure he can mate with the queen if he takes the knight

I cried laughing at 14:40 with NL analysing Dan's moves. I haven't cried laughing in so long. Chess is a beautiful game

Please do more of this, even if just one more, this video is just gold in every way

NL: *spends the whole video disrespecting Dan* NL: Dan, no disrespect

this was the funniest video ever, so many good moments.

I enjoyed this very much sir. Best video I have seen in weeks. The jokes were fire.

I started this as a background noise while trying to sleep, but ended up being wide awake from laughter. Love you NL!

"that's not even chopsticks" 29:43 hahahaha

so glad i found this channel. the dry wit is on point

Dude, I've never laughed as hard in my life than as I did watching this

Ryan, this is exactly what Primary School teaching is like.

Dan is actually on such a whole other level that he calculates and executes the worst possible move combination that is still able to win to troll his opponents

I love the reaction videos to dans content!

ive watched this video 3 times start to finish and i think it made me laugh so much i cried every time

Dan playing specifically for the timer is like spamming specials in a fighting game, like yeah you will climb but you don't have a clue what you are doing 😂

This NL reacts to Dan (or vice versa) content is absolute gold

At 3:05, pawn takes knight puts you one move away from checkmate, with the queen just moving back to where they were.

I came to the conclusion that Dan doesn't remember the king can take pieces, but I'm very glad he's happy

Jesus, I’ve been watching the wrong chess content this whole time

i thought i was going to die i was laughing more than i could breathe for 10 minutes straight after 18:50

Everything you do with this guy is gold. I would love to see another brain/hand match soon!

25:36 NL missed Dan's legendary "if you think, you lose"

Bruhhhh. My belly hurts this is tooo good

Honestly your reaction to Dan trying to move the opponent's king had me in stitches. More of this please!

I just realized NL is that teacher that drags the mouse all the way down to the pause button instead of just clicking anywhere. Also wow. I had no idea how bad 200 elo was.

I laughed from end to end on this video... Your incredulity at Dan's craziness is priceless.

I see Dan tried the old mutiny gambit where you use the opponents pieces against each other very rare

I just came across this video, and I think whom I learned is called Dan has the most wonderful attitude towards chess one can have, if you are not trying to go pro. He has found a spot where he can do decently, he has understood that it's ultimately just a game, is having fun while playing, and doesn't give a crap what anybody thinks. I love him.
