All these collabs with those different personalities is so cool and wholesome, i really hope this stays a consistant part of his content for the future.
Thank you Nelson. I think you’ve invented a new format and it works. Listening to both players thinking through the moves makes it even more exiting then a speed run.m. Just great to watch. As far as I can tell you’ve changed the editing a bit so that your thought process doesn’t give away to much of the tension of the game, Because we are listening to your opponents first. Keep it up!
Indeed, I have never seen this format anywhere else. I really like Nelson's understated approach too. It will catch on and I bet Gotham picks it up. I can really relate to the 900 odd level player as I have been there recently and as an 1100 or so I can see a few things I've learnt that make a difference. For example considering when putting a piece in a position to trade, what am I going to be exchanging with and does it worsen my position? If so, don't invite that. It all stems from internalising Igor Smirnov's "To take is a mistake" dictum, at least for me. I am quite impressed at his positional understanding however. He considers what his better pieces are. I think he needs to grind more puzzles and his opening knowledge could be improved?
Two times he could move his knight, improving it by also capturing material.... And he didn't. It's strange that I am able to see other player's blunders, but not seeing mine! 😁
@@darkdolphin8310 yesterday I did a 61 move game that ended up in repetition draw in my favor because I had thrown the game, when I did the review I saw I missed a move really early at like 17 i think, that I had a move to fork the queen and king and that would turn the entire game to me... Tunnel Vision is really a bad thing in this game xD
@@bofetada6841 correct. And in the same train of thought,we care more about judging others, than observing ourselves and being mindful and aware of how we choose to react in various circumstances.
I really like these types of videos. Getting perspective from both sides of the board and at differing skill levels is very interesting and informative.
Out of all the chess channels i have learned the most from yours. Your calm analysis of the positions and your willingness to say i don't know what comes next I'll just play principles of solid chess is inspirational. Thank you
He isn't playing according to solid chess principles. He's playing passively and ignoring good strategy, not recognising the problems with the opponent's position or opportunities within his own. I think it's just that it's difficult to take advantage of what he's doing tactically.
Keep this format going! I would also like to see the post game conversation between you and your opponent as you discuss the game review. Think it would be instructive to see how you both reflect on the key moments of the game.
Thank you both, a very instructive tutorial and easy to follow. More please. You both have such a good way of presenting the options on the available moves. Most enjoyable.
Key difference is Nelson thinks longer before deciding on a move but his moves does more than just attack or defend. He would position his pieces on good squares that would squeeze the 1000 rated player.
Not only that but Nelson develop all his pieces a lot faster and he doesn't play very bad move like g3....that was a super weak move that only a beginner would do. So that was two rookie major mistakes.
He still played badly. "I don't like Nf6 becouse the bishop would pin me". Like wtf? Nf6 Bg5 dxe4 and black is winning? Not even calculating one move and rejecting Nf6 outright.
This was a really helpful video. Seeing the advanced vs intermediate perspective, seeing what each think about, and the habit to backseat drive like "no, no, you should be thinking about THIS!"...and then realizing I make those same mistakes...it's very informative in an entertaining package. You both taught me a lot today. Thank you.
I really enjoyed this one with Nelson. It was a perfect counterpoint to what I have learned from your multiple games with lesser players. Thanks to you both.
Rosen is a better player but his tutorials aren’t as good as Nelson imo and this is coming from someone who’s a massive Rosen fan and has studied theory from his videos
This is a superb video, very good idea to do a two-sided. As a ver y dumb person it took 5 mins or so to get in the groove of following the back and forth but fascinating to see you both talk through what the other person's options are. Just finished and it got even better. What an insight into the human perspective. At the 42-minute mark, the English dude is focused on the Bishop/Castle thing in the corner and the other guy doesn't even consider it part of the game. Very interesting stuff.
This is so interesting to watch! Seeing both thought processes on the same situation. Funny how different you can see things from one side of the board or the other.
Well, that was more informative than a class.... I learned more from that game than any. I thank both players for explaining what they are doing and being honest about it. Thank you both.
Great format, instructional and fun to watch! Kuddos to the opponent, a sound general approach and rather thorough thinking (I believe quite a bit above his current level? Great potential to develop further).
Tbh there were some bad moves on both sides (see my comment on the bad d5 black played in the beginning, which is silly for a master to play). I will say that a great channel for chess insight is Chess Wisdom.
I noticed Nelson rarely allows any piece to be not protected, (and usually always leaves his pieces connected for a recapture unless it is a gambit ploy) while the lower rated player moves his pieces with no protection much of the time.
The difference is nelsi is constantly thinking attack and how to develop while defending whereas 1000 elo is stuck on one threat moves at defending pieces by moving them without developing other pieces while simultaneously defending. Also not recognizing dangerous threats is a common mistake that many of us have. Ty for sharing
Also scared of tension. They only let pieces stare at each other for a few moves before getting the urge to trade them off for basically no reason. I am also 1000 so I see it all the time haha
Great idea and video. Lil suggestion - If there was another player that was even more advanced like 2500 reflecting over both your games, I think that would add a little more value to this.
@@NF30 it shouldn't be that different on a 1080p video though, a lot of people play with a small board so it might just be quite stretched to fit the stream window. better scaling filter would help
Nelsi 4 moves ahead thinking and planning all possible variations ( big picture viewer), Cornered is focusing one max 2 moves ahead. very interesting to watch
Very good content! Loved this. He did manage to feel out his own mistakes, but wasn't able to actually calculate it all. That's the difference in skill here, in a nutshell. Gotta work on those tactics!
You guys did great in this video I wish that I had gotten that deep into playing chess. My patience is not as good as it use to be. I never was a clock person though touch move and not moving til you found the correct move(s) along with studying changing position and understanding the mechanics of the game as I called it back then
Good format. For education, I think watching just your side is more useful. This is because watching your opponent's side does not really provide a lot of *new* insights when you are around the same elo level as them. But also including them in the video is entertaining though. So for entertainment, you could include your opponent's side as well. Not meant to hate on CorneredChess, just feedback on the format. Big shout out to him for participating :)
Not in that position with the bishop pair staring at you in the corner, the knight on g6 ready to jump in and both queen and rook lurking behind the lines. That’s a terrible time to be opening yourself up like that.
The early move of defending the knight with a pawn istead of using bishop to defend and devolop was a big issue. It blocked a developing sqaure for his other knight which became continual discussion.
Great video, Nelson! I really hope you'll make a series based on this idea, it would be very useful. CorneredChess is a star! It's funny, my ELO is 1235, but I can't boast of such a structured thinking as CorneredChess has. Maybe I play a little better, but my thoughts are a furious hurricane. It seems like I can learn something from a person who plays not better than me. Interesting! Guys! Please continue! 🙏
It's strange you both have the same tone of voice in the same manner. It's like 2 players but one mind speaking. Either way it's a great job editing this in the way you have shown us both perspectives. Thanks
Good stuff. I'm a bit surprised that Cornered didn't automatically assume he was doomed if he took the rook , otherwise I would happily accept playing Nelson so evenly for so deep into the match.
At what elo should I start memorizing or at least quickly denoting the board positions (E6, B1, etc) because I’m at 600 elo right now (I know I’m a complete noob) but I wanted to generally know where I should be prioritizing my study of the game at my rock bottom elo. I figure I should probably just focus on the fundamentals and basics like proper opening tactics, learn to develop and castle early? Thanks for the help Nelson, love the videos!
I think there was a better move for black, preparing for a checkmate with white bishop and knight instead of the quick check with the knight (by advancing the pawn in the middle). And I think this sould have been very hard to defend against. It was a great game to learn from anyway ! , thanks
Thanks for inviting me to play Nelson, I had great fun!
gg
I’m also 900 lol
lol
Pretty good thought process most of the time, apart from that g3 move, I like the game. This was at least 1300 performace Id say, good job.
Brave to play against Nelson publicly, and well done despite the loss
dude you are jacked
The difference is 1200 elo. Thank you.
wtf🤣
@@JuliusBallerda Very assertant
Objection!!! i did the maths and it's actually a difference of 1287 elo
Thank you so much, now I don’t have to watch the whole video to find that answer, you saved me 50 minutes thank you!
LOL. First thing I thought and then I read this comment.

because its not your game so you are not hyper focus on the direct menace and can focus on the overall match instead

Dude, his board is much higher quality, Nelson please look into how he records the board, it is higher resolution.
Looks like he's playing on a Mac with a high-density display, judging by the font of the numbers on his screen
there's always a downside: it's chess, basically we need two colors to understand how the game goes😅

WTG Nelson. You beat him up so bad, he gave up completely. RIP Cornered Chess.
Wow what a creative video! Never had this much fun learning haha
Great video!
@25:38 oooof! pawn g3 move is the most 990 elo thing that was ever done! no 2000 elo player or higher would decide to play g3!
Yeah I am 1800 and I was thinking to trade the bishops not the pawn push.
I'm 2200 and there is definitely merit to voluntarily open up the g file to slide your rook over
Not in that position with the bishop pair staring at you in the corner, the knight on g6 ready to jump in and both queen and rook lurking behind the lines. That’s a terrible time to be opening yourself up like that.
You right they only play g4 haha
He did get cornered in the end. So well named 😂

Drawing more lines doesn't make you a master, but makes you look like a master to a beginner.
He is a master
Good stuff. I'm a bit surprised that Cornered didn't automatically assume he was doomed if he took the rook , otherwise I would happily accept playing Nelson so evenly for so deep into the match.

At what elo should I start memorizing or at least quickly denoting the board positions (E6, B1, etc) because I’m at 600 elo right now (I know I’m a complete noob) but I wanted to generally know where I should be prioritizing my study of the game at my rock bottom elo.
I figure I should probably just focus on the fundamentals and basics like proper opening tactics, learn to develop and castle early?
Thanks for the help Nelson, love the videos!
This is very instructive for post-beginners. Thanks!
For those whos wondering what the main differentes are: 1000 uses standard design, 2200 old design.
He has you playing in the corner while he is smothering your king.
New player here. At 43:17 why wouldn't black move Rf4, then Rg4 for the checkmate?
Never mind. I watched the next 60 seconds lol
Me @ 43:30 Screaming "knight to D2" at my computer.
*Bishop to A8*
"Ok, I guess we just lose."
I think there was a better move for black, preparing for a checkmate with white bishop and knight instead of the quick check with the knight (by advancing the pawn in the middle). And I think this sould have been very hard to defend against.
It was a great game to learn from anyway ! , thanks
