Antonio is not big deal. Just look for the next best 2 moves of him and be of course careful of false "inaccuracies" of him, like moving a knight for some reason which probably leads to a forced fork or smth like that. Then try to not lose your bishops unless if is for an equal trade trade and improvement of your position, and finally try to control your castle side and center. At the end of the day just block as much a you can the knights jumps with your pawns and choose a bishop of different color of your pawn structure.
0:43 "Qg4 coming soon?" The usage of the question mark here means that Nelson is asking a question and not making a statement. Therefore, Nelson is asking if Levy is going to play Qg4.
Dude never did I ever think that chess would have me yelling and cursing at the game, Nelson has made me want to snap my laptop in half man. When I just beat him I actually lost my mind, my neighbors must think I’m insane hearing me yell “eat a dick you fucking cocksucker” 😂😂😂
Yes, nelson does make obvious mistakes if you frustrate him for long games. But Isabel is something different buddy. Isabel is cruel I would say it doesn't make obvious mistakes.
@@rohit_1309havent tried Isabel yet. around 1500 is where im getting in trouble. The highest i've beaten is Olga. She's brutal. She's absolutely wacky. She plays terrible openings, then she switches and obliterates you in the mid to end game. Someone whom is higher skill probably takes better advantage at the beginning, but if you are around 1400 elo, Olga is a pain.
Nelson always opens with his queen, and then works the left or right side. Eventually he sacrifices his queen, but don't let that fool you. He's still pretty decent. I've played him dozens of times.
Nelson is actually really easy to beat. But then again, I've beaten the Li bot using the elephant gambit as black, so it might seem overkill to say that Nelson is really easy to beat.

How to beat Nelson - 1. Try to capture his queen in the opening game (usually falls for rook pin after you castle) or an exchange will do 2. Nelson is aggresive in the middle game so dont do anything passive 3. Make it to the end game and you can win by promoting a pawn to queen 4. Nelson is dumb in end game and often makes blunders in end game, make use of it.
Those computer opponents usually play better than the numbers shown against them suggest, and that is discovered at the end in the analysis when the rating estimate (based most likely on ACPL, a very accurate indicator of performance), normally showing higher numbers than the numbers shown at the side of the bot prior to selection.
The horrible things about Nelson is that he is ridiculously easy to beat if you game plan for him, but if you play against most other bots including some weaker bots like that, you would get crushed. I am wary about playing too many bots for this reason because I tend to play against the weaknesses inadvertently of individual bots
?? i literally fuck nelson every time i play him unless i make a blunder which almost always end in a draw since nelson does the weirdest moves ive ever seen

You need to stop wasting time learning strategies and chess openers if you are a mere amateur that needs to work on the fundamentals.

"I'm 900 points rated higher than you, Miguel, I don't know who you're trying to trash talk." "Black's source of counterplay is three pawns, and my source of counterplay is being 2800." Levy just casually flexing his rating on a bot is very amusing. XD
Commented it a few times and got a bit of traction but never this early so... Please do a guess the rating series where you watch games without knowing their rating and guess the rating of the players!!!
Nelson is playing weak moves with him tbh for eg look at 1:20 i can bet that if you try the same Nelson will play pawnC6 instead of pawnd6 and never let us advance. I think that's the move where Nelson lost the game.
To all those who are terrified of Nelson, just exchange queens as fast as possible, and then play solid. Not too much attacking until the late middlegame. His endgame is pure trash
I feel the odd man out I haven't had as much trouble with him as the bots before and after him. It's very easy to punish his aggressive Queen obsession. Nelson's openings are free tempo.
Me too! If I'm improving then it's because of Isabella I once played a game against her, and I was so focused I didn't even make mistakes or inaccuracies Well, until I blundered my rook in the endgame and resigned.
It's def not easy to beat that 1600 bot for me. I'm stuck on Wally the 1800 bot. Got a draw today and somehow screwed up a winning position. Before they had these bots I beat a 1900 engine but only once and I was extremely playing well and focused that day.
@@carlo_cali I almost always manage to get a somewhat winning position against Isabela, then the endgame comes and she starts going ultra instinct on my ass.
I noticed for the last round he had the chance to install win. His queen was open to just checkmate the opponents king. Nothing could defend that simple mistake
I really appreciate you keeping in that last match, even though it got away from you. As someone who gets regularly destroyed by bonkers bot moves, its nice to see skilled players face these things. And I especially liked your post-game analysis of that last match.
Thats why lowering engine depth =/= lower elo in certain instances. And also why playing against humans is better as they're mostly consistent the higher they go and not do half superGM moves and half weird ones.
@@fisheatsyourhead Nah, the 1600 bots still blunder a lot. A 1600 elo player like me can easily beat 1600 bots just by playing aggressive and forcing mistakes. 1900 is where it gets difficult.
@@maxkho00 I agree. The gap seems to be 1600~2000. I am rated 1000. My feeling against bot: 1600(I can beat consistently) 1800(Even chances) 2000 (Bot throws in some bad moves but almost always squeezes out the win).
Just tempo his queen on every occasion while you're developing (still keeping an eye on every trick he could do), and very soon you'll be laughing at his lonely queeny fighting against your fully-developed army ! Also, 1. d4 is easier if you're white because there ain't much tricks associated with early queen moves.
Bot ratings do not match up with player ratings, I don't think they're really the same metric at all. I am only 600 rating and I can beat nelson alot of the time. Then the bots with Similar rating to mine are incredibly easy.
@@michaeldavis6993 Yup, their issue is that they choose only ~600 moves. Whilst players play +- 400 moves. There's a ton of variation in human moves, but bots consistently choose moves which makes them easier to play against.
I don't fear the man who has practiced 1 move 10,000 times, I fear the man that knows 10,000 moves" Bruce Lee. Bots aren't the same as people, and always facing the same bot means all you're practicing is fighting that gimmick. godspeed
honestly all the bots ELOs are very overrated. like I can beat the Hikaru bot like 40% of the time or so because it makes bizarre mistakes. ofc in a real match I would be absolutely slaughtered by Hikaru or any 2700.
@@ASRIBEIRIO Well, it wasn't made to be unwinnable. If you want the computer to kill you every single time, play the actual computer and set it at its highest rating :)
@@ASRIBEIRIO I fully agree with you. But its not only the chess.com bots tho, I have the PlayMagnus app and I managed to get 2 draws against 29 year old Magnus (ofc out of like 50 games) but with the real Magnus that would be simply impossible.
@@viezure10 Yup. The highest rated bots on the websites are still really weak compared to the full strength. The website versions would be lucky to get a draw, and would never win. 100 games would probably look something like 95-0-5 in favor of the real bots.

"Black's source of counterplay is three pawns, and my source of counterplay is being 2800."
Levy just casually flexing his rating on a bot is very amusing. XD
So true
Levy looks like Sven with glasses😭
I managed to trap nelson's queen and got the line "Oh that's why I wasn't supposed to bring the queen out" without trading queens
Teach me your ways
nice
Same
Why the hecccc is this so relatable lmao
Dang, the game with Isabell was really impressive… The comeback was crazy, I would have just quit after I was down a rook and 2 pawns
Honestly most people would’ve resigned down two pawns
I would've probably lost because I suck, but no way I would quit in that position. Look how active Black's pieces are, how scary that pawn mass is.
23:30 *"If you wanna sucessfully attack a person, you need to close the position in an advantageous way."*
Commented it a few times and got a bit of traction but never this early so... Please do a guess the rating series where you watch games without knowing their rating and guess the rating of the players!!!
I love this idea
this
And maybe even throw some analyzing to make it educational?
Hell yeah
Now that could be pretty interesting, seeing matches for what they are
Levi: Eating Nelson for breakfast.
Nelson: eating me for breakfast...
the strong eat the weak
this is a harsh world
And the weak watches the immortal eat the strong one.
I beat Nelson on my first try even though I blundered several times. He really isn't that strong
@@narayasuiryoku1397 well these comments are personal perspectives
@@narayasuiryoku1397 kinda whack to say “what was difficult for you actually isn’t that difficult for me”
Immediately after watching this, I played nelson and got absolutely bamboozled.
Congrats you learned a lot
i played nelson after this lost twice won twice
Nelson is playing weak moves with him tbh for eg look at 1:20 i can bet that if you try the same Nelson will play pawnC6 instead of pawnd6 and never let us advance. I think that's the move where Nelson lost the game.
I've lost track of the number of times Nelson has reamed me.
Thank you levy
- That one kid
Advanced bots are scarier than my Italian grandma with a wooden spoon
Agreed. But Instead Of Italian grandma, My actual Mom :)
@@g1othakidd Nonna is scarier
That's scary
@@legueu yes I have ptsd and I haven’t seen her since the virus
They're scarier than a latina grandma with la chancla
To all those who are terrified of Nelson, just exchange queens as fast as possible, and then play solid. Not too much attacking until the late middlegame. His endgame is pure trash
i have stalemated nelson at a very low level
(i started 2 weeks ago) using the same formula
I have been destroyed by Nelson in 2 moves
@@jamesb2187 If you aren't joking then you should try defeating other bots first without help
Yeah I do that too. Queen lost = Nelson bad
I feel the odd man out I haven't had as much trouble with him as the bots before and after him. It's very easy to punish his aggressive Queen obsession.
Nelson's openings are free tempo.
This guy is so fun to watch. He brought me back into chess and now I'm winning tournaments! Thank you so much Gotham!

@@foxtheguy what
Right in the beginning of this video I started a match and I mated Nelson with him still having his queen. That brought so much joy 😌
I am a mature adult.
"mated Nelson with him still having his queen" 🌚
Gonna be honest that 1600 bot has clapped my cheeks so many times it makes Nelson look like Beth Harmon bot age 8.
Me too!
If I'm improving then it's because of Isabella
I once played a game against her, and I was so focused I didn't even make mistakes or inaccuracies
Well, until I blundered my rook in the endgame and resigned.
It's def not easy to beat that 1600 bot for me. I'm stuck on Wally the 1800 bot. Got a draw today and somehow screwed up a winning position. Before they had these bots I beat a 1900 engine but only once and I was extremely playing well and focused that day.
@@carlo_cali I almost always manage to get a somewhat winning position against Isabela, then the endgame comes and she starts going ultra instinct on my ass.
1600 is easy for me
@@gokusoloscope woow
Levy: The problem for ahmed is that he isn't prottecting his king very well
also Levy: gets checkmated
Ahmed wasnt protecting well because he was too busy in attack mode 0_0
I noticed for the last round he had the chance to install win. His queen was open to just checkmate the opponents king. Nothing could defend that simple mistake
@@oscarfunez3806 when?
@@oscarfunez3806 no there wasn’t?
@Charged Creeper Yeah. I take it back. Forgot the one piece that can still defend. Lol.
I really appreciate you keeping in that last match, even though it got away from you. As someone who gets regularly destroyed by bonkers bot moves, its nice to see skilled players face these things. And I especially liked your post-game analysis of that last match.
i agree
33:17 queen b4 wouldve been a nice check but this field is covered like crazyyy
Underrated quote: "that's the stupidest rook position I've ever seen in my life, and I've played a lot of chess"
to be fair, every rook stands like that in start position lol
Me too🤣🤣
Yeah And now he's lost to an old man who isn't good at technology but is accused of cheating even though he didn't know he was a former professional.
Indeed it’s a strange sudden gap where it’s from incredibly easy to almost impossible for beginner and intermediate players
It goes with the expression, "It's easy till it's not."
me vs 1300 bots: can do it in my sleep
me vs 1600 bots: might as well be playing against a superGM
Thats why lowering engine depth =/= lower elo in certain instances. And also why playing against humans is better as they're mostly consistent the higher they go and not do half superGM moves and half weird ones.
@@fisheatsyourhead Nah, the 1600 bots still blunder a lot. A 1600 elo player like me can easily beat 1600 bots just by playing aggressive and forcing mistakes. 1900 is where it gets difficult.
@@maxkho00 I agree. The gap seems to be 1600~2000. I am rated 1000. My feeling against bot: 1600(I can beat consistently) 1800(Even chances) 2000 (Bot throws in some bad moves but almost always squeezes out the win).
Fatima's rooks hugging her king genuinely has me in tears idk why
😢
6:12 When he said "i can cut this out of the youtube video", my pc monitor crashed.
"That is officially bot's very first strange move. All bots do this."
Come one Levy, I am not a bot.
I'm gonna need to to fill out a captcha, just to be safe 🧐
ain’t nobody scarier than nelson’s queen
Nah, that's like four or five free development moves and then it just gives all its pawns away while falling for most forks and skewers.
Just tempo his queen on every occasion while you're developing (still keeping an eye on every trick he could do), and very soon you'll be laughing at his lonely queeny fighting against your fully-developed army ! Also, 1. d4 is easier if you're white because there ain't much tricks associated with early queen moves.
The bongcloud is scarier than nelson's queen.
Until you have all your minor pieces developed and he’s made 6 Queen moves. 😂
I disagree. Nelson's queen is a pushy little bitch. I ain't afraid.
23:37
"Do you just want your rooks to hug your king" is killing😂😂
20:23 I don’t like to make trades had me laughing my ass off

new meme template
😂
Lol
Lol relatable
😂
I spent hours and hours against nelson, got to a position where I could win comfortably against him, went online and can’t get over 750 elo
Bot ratings do not match up with player ratings, I don't think they're really the same metric at all. I am only 600 rating and I can beat nelson alot of the time. Then the bots with Similar rating to mine are incredibly easy.
@@michaeldavis6993 Yup, their issue is that they choose only ~600 moves. Whilst players play +- 400 moves. There's a ton of variation in human moves, but bots consistently choose moves which makes them easier to play against.
I don't fear the man who has practiced 1 move 10,000 times, I fear the man that knows 10,000 moves" Bruce Lee. Bots aren't the same as people, and always facing the same bot means all you're practicing is fighting that gimmick. godspeed
@@Zombro298 It's actually "I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times."
@@michaeldavis6993 I am 200 Eli and beat 1000 ELO bots
The weird thing is that a 1300 real player would never make the blunders that Nelson did
honestly all the bots ELOs are very overrated. like I can beat the Hikaru bot like 40% of the time or so because it makes bizarre mistakes. ofc in a real match I would be absolutely slaughtered by Hikaru or any 2700.
@@ASRIBEIRIO Well, it wasn't made to be unwinnable. If you want the computer to kill you every single time, play the actual computer and set it at its highest rating :)
@@ASRIBEIRIO so you want to fight with a bot without limitations?
You must be insane
@@ASRIBEIRIO I fully agree with you. But its not only the chess.com bots tho, I have the PlayMagnus app and I managed to get 2 draws against 29 year old Magnus (ofc out of like 50 games) but with the real Magnus that would be simply impossible.
@@viezure10 Yup. The highest rated bots on the websites are still really weak compared to the full strength. The website versions would be lucky to get a draw, and would never win. 100 games would probably look something like 95-0-5 in favor of the real bots.
I love when Levy just destroys Nelson, I mean when I just started playing chess I HATED Nelson, he was so hard to move on to but I finally checkmated him with a queen to bottom rank where the king was trapped

I made the mistake that I was too shy to play online against others , so Ive gotten pretty good at playing against Bots, but if I try to play against humans, it is a totally different game/ way, and I am so fucking bad at it.

13:29 You had great development missed knight h6 sacrifice to pawn, move bishop to h6 putting pressure on rook and king
Nelson is my favorite bot to play against, he is the only one for me that it doesn't feel the win is given, anything more and I just want to cry.
I found that you just need to keep Nelson from taking anything for 7 or 8 moves and he'll promptly hang his queen in a really stupid way

Ahmed should be very proud, that was a beautiful combination.
