This is the best channel for learners. I found it by accident after wandering over other "popular" channels. Here, instruction is delivered in simple language, with no drama, no egos, and the content is so practical for beginners and intermediates. I was getting disheartened on other channels where they talk technical jargon at breakneck speed, and move pieces in a blur. Can't thank you enough Nelson. Keep 'em coming.
Yep that's why we love the Nelson
Same just found this channel recently and it's the best I've seen after having looked through quite a few.

@@zappyFPS Yup
I second that statement. Thank you Nelson.
Boden's Mate or as Gotham Chess would call it "Criss Cross Apple Sauce".
every time he said it I added apple sauce in my head
I think you got it wrong, it's a discovered attack/capture of which its theme may be appealing to young players
@@oldsuitman7762 shut up dude
It's apple saws I guess
Criss cross apple sauce IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BOARD
I really like how organized you are. Chess tutorials can be pretty rough when the teacher isn't well prepared, or tries to record everything in one take. Very well done!
You make the best instructional chess videos on RUclips. The way you consicely explain principles, patterns, and tactics are incredibly helpful. This method makes learning chess far more fun than memorizing a bunch of lines, especially for a casual chess player like me. Thanks for the great content!
No, hanging pawns is better
Yeah, no-this guy is under-rated AF
Agree 100%. The vids have no fluff - which shows he has great respect for the audience's time. Fantastic
Ditto what dawnpatrol said. These are great. Thank you!
I agree
Lots of positive comments and those are justified, this video is very complete, and shows good examples of how these mates are hidden in normal games
This is the perfect example of a good chess video! It talks about an important topic, gives good examples, and has good puzzles that haloes you know where to find the mate in an actual game. Great work!
Some puzzles were great. Others not so much.
Bruh I didn’t even realize you made it on agadmator’s channel. That’s an honor!
Good one. Attaching names to patterns is a great memory aid. For more on mating patterns and their names check out "The Art of Checkmate" by Georges Renard & Victor Kahn. For a ton of practice with these mates get a hold of "5334 Problems, Combinations, and Games" by Laszlo Polgar. There are 3268 mates in two and 774 mates in three to practice on in the Laszlo book.
Thanks for the recommendations
Thanks. I have that Lazlo Polgar book. I need to bury my nose into it. 🤥
You explain chess concepts better than a lot of IMs and GMs; I really appreciate how concise and straightforward your videos are, and I love that there's no sense of condescension or arrogance like I get from other channels. Not naming names but the one I'm thinking of rhymes with chotham gess. Subscribed! Thanks a million, keep up the good work!
🤣🤣🤣🤣 so true
Imma call him chotham gess from now on
Chotham gess is more for a laugh I think, he just acts that way on his channel. On a recent WIRED video we see Levy being non arrogant
How about a chotham gess vs. chess vibes match?
@@SG2048-meta absolutely. He's just pointing out fun things in the development of players. He himself said that this is normal and happened to most of the players.
On top of that it's an internet persona
These pattern videos are gold. I have a really hard time memorizing lines, but you always contextualize them in a principle.
This is a great channel!
Thank you dear Nelson, for another truly awesome lesson! As always, it's very instructive and I love your calm, no nonsense style of teaching. Keep up the good work! :)
This is the single most informative chess video I have ever seen, thank you
Glad it was helpful!
@@ChessVibesOfficialRecommendation on what to use to drill these concepts? Example: Learn the concept then do puzzle, puzzle, puzzle until you simply can’t unsee it?
5:12 I've lost so many games to Lolli's Mate! Good to know it and have it in my mind. Thanks Nelson.
Same here. Seems I'm subconsciously obsessed with lolli's
@@chickenlevi975 Stop.
Brilliant video filled with useful information presented in a very concise way!
19:54 I mean you could capture with the bishop first, but I assume that queen sacs have more swag
same on 21:30
they do indeed have more swag
16:04 HOW can the king go to g7 the rook is controlling that square
Just have courage :)
If he puts his mind to it, the king can do anything.
U can’t capture the king soo
Maybe he meant moving the king to g7 before white had delivered check? Idk man good question lol
Okay I rewatched it, I was grasping lol like I said good question 😆
10:15 moving queen to g6 also works because it forces the same pawn capture, and then the knight and two rooks checkmate the king after taking that pawn
I'm glad I wasn't the only one to see that
Amazing , I'm be replaying this for weeks to study . Thank you !
Enjoying the content, which is clear and easy to follow, and the short 'try to work it out' pauses are ideal. Great stuff. Thanks.
As always smooth, helpful, informative and concise thanks alot man
Love these. Super practical. Thank you!
Just started 2 weeks ago, sitting around 500 now after watching this. Have won 10 in a row , I was missing a lot of wins. Thanks man!
800 now, pushing for 1000 by the end of the year!!
@@Swolhippiecongratulations.
Thanks for the help, you’ve quickly become my favourite go to chess help guy. Much appreciated👍👍👍👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I'm glad you includeded the Legal's mate, thank you for adding an opening!
Very instructive and well articulated like most of the other videos in the channel
I really appreciate the sober presentation of valuable ideas. No background music, no attempt at jokes, no ego being on display; just plain information. Thank you!
I'm so thankful for your videos Nelson. So many times, I'll be playing a match and not realize until I've already done it that I've applied some sort of tactic, strategy, or mindset that I learned from your videos. I have only been playing for about two months but I am without a doubt such a better player today than I was when I started and I have you to thank for so much of that.
Thanks for the great lesson. The exercises after each one was useful too.
Good stuff Nelson! This is going to help my Puzzles score for sure.
This is probably my favorite chess video ever. Great work man!
Incredible resource. Ty so much for this!
I feel like your videos dont help me when and after i watch them but they plant little seed of knowledge for further down the road that have been really helpful, thank you
The best instructional videos I have yet to see. I appreciate most how you get straight to the point and don’t try to be funny or clever.
Nelson, great video, thank you. Also, I couldn't help but notice to propensity to queen sacrifice. Cheers!
Amazing man!! great lesson and puzzle. The best chess video for beginners
Thanks for a great video...very helpful. Looking forward to the Middlegame video.
(And yes, as pointed out below, it is "an Opera House Mate" since it was a real opera not a person named Opera)
Thanks for this! Really helpful.
Really useful, great explanations. Thank you!
Great job, very well outlined
Thank you so much for the video, this should help a lot with my rating climbs
Thanks much! So helpful!
I've learned almost 11 checkmate patterns just from leisurely playing chess so if you are just starting chess just play and play for a while, each game becomes a lesson. Then after that, you can take the game much more seriously and start studying or watching lessons such as this one.
Thanks for another great video, Nelsi. My inner pedant is desperate to point out that’s it’s “The Opera Mate” not “Opera’s Mate” after the mate in the famous Morphy game at the Opera vs the Count and the Duke.
Very good instructional and practical video and advice.
Thank you
Another great and useful video, thank you!
At the second example of epaulette mate you could also take with the queen firts beacause Q:g6 f:g6 R:g6 is mate beacause the night on d6 is covering f7 and the rook on the h1 is covering h7. It's not an epualette mate anymore but still a mate.
I have watched this video many times now, still give me lots of value! Thanks for getting me interested in Chess! Keep going, you are the best RUclipsr on chess I have found so far.
The examples are great-thanks bro
Yours is a terrific channel. I don't know what my rating is but it's definitely gotten better with your help. Thanks very much.
a little more detail could have gone into the hook mate at 14:10. the king can't take the queen sacrifice because of the hook mate, but what if K-G6? I'm trying to find the mate but it is a lot harder to force. Still, at the least I can see how to get the rook and bishop which should lead to victory, just struggling to find a forced mate in that case.
Also... 16:04. huh?? that's still check, mate! :D
Really fun video! I loved finding all the mates in the more complex setups, but doubt I would find them not knowing they were there beforehand. Shows the importance of learning the patterns to keep in your mind while playing though!
If Kg6 then Qh6, Kf5 and Qxh3 prevents the checkmate by black and you're up a piece.
But you're absolutly right at the murphy mate I was wondering too 😅
Very good. Seen this a couple of times and have it bookmarked for a few more repetitions until it all sinks in.
awesome channel! thank u for ur time, energy, and wisdom!
Great stuff. Thanks.
absolutely beautiful video Nelson
Great video! Your chess content is really helpful
What I like about this video is that most solutions involve queen sacs to clear the way. That just trains you to be able to see the pattern even when pieces are in the way. And you can be confident in sacking a queen or rook to clear the path to mate.
I'm not so sure! Chess players don't go around sacking their queens all the time. Those famous games with mating combination involving queen sacs are famous exactly because of that rarity -- a queen sac that works. If you get a chance to throw your queen away, if you do it, it won't lead you to a win. Or if you win anyway, you must've been so far ahead that you could've won with the queen anyway.
Great lesson: many thanks. 🙂
Very Well explained!
Great vid. I learned half a dozen new patterns :D
Just discovered your videos; you're very watchable and the videos are pitched just perfectly for the developing self-taught player like me. Thank you for making them.
#21 is the hilarious "Oh no, my queen!" play I've seen with Eric Rosen
Eric is a good player, but a mediocre teacher, my rating suffers from stafford gambit
Thanks it REALLY helped.
Great video, thank you so much!
i missed a few operas mate just recently. yet it was so obvious and right in my face.
Great to have the names of these. Helps to memorize them.
Thanks Nelson, helps a lot
Very good content again Nelson especially with the time stamps
Thanks for the great lessons!!!
I must be missing something . On the Morphy s mate at 16:06 you say after rook moves to kings file the kings better move would be to the 7rh row. How is that a legal move? Doesnt the King HAVE to move to H8?
Backrank can also happen if the B or G Pawn is advanced and there is a Bishop that covers the opened squares
Great vid as usual thanks
OMG Thank you so much. You're an absolute legend I don't have any words for you....
I came here from the attacking pattern video and hopped in a game right after and one of my most beautiful games I've ever played. So followed the tips from the first video and decided to create weakenesses in the opponents kings defense it did manage to mess up his pawn structure but didn't find any ways to win material or deliver checkmate. As the game progressed we somehow ended up with the exact same material and position only difference was that he had a pawn extra. So I'm looking for checkmate patterns and time is chipping away and finally find one by pinning a pawn next to his king . Unfortunately he resigned instead of letting me deliver checkmate :(
your teaching style is impeccable it has helped me no end and i have you on repeat. thank you very much
You're one of the only chess tutors I genuinely find useful. Most focus on increasingly unlikely sequences of moves (that I'm never really going to be able to use anyway), whereas you break the game down into simple, clean lines -- like a well made sword making a few quick clean cuts.
Great content Nelson
Super helpful video good looks
Appreciate the video, find your content informative and super calming. Subscribed!
Welcome aboard!
the second example with 9. epaulette mate also allowed the sacrifice of the queen then mate with rook, since knight and 2nd rook were guarding the escape tiles
Brilliant Subscribed!
This is a very well presented video, thanks!
I really like the not-too-difficult pause and think examples, although I think there maybe an undesirable pattern in them: every checkmate follows a queen sacrifice. Elo, goodbye!
I like how so many of these examples involve a queen sacrifice. I'm not the most strategic chess player and very queen-heavy on offense so I wouldn't normally even consider it but about halfway through the video I started to catch on.
Thanks, very useful for me. I realised, I'm playing a style like "Take everything you can and then deal somehow in the endgame" )) So that's why I was searching exactly checkmate patterns.
Thanks for this man
To develop my chess skills, I came up with the idea (on my own) to find out what types of mates are. After all, checkmate is the goal of the game. In chess puzzels on lichess I saw that some checkmates have their names. So I decided to check if there were more of them. I found it and looked at them to see and remember these patterns. That was some time ago. And now I see you've made a video on the same issue. :) It will be nice to watch your video to remind these patterns, and I will recommend your video to others as one of the most important videos on the path of a beginner chess player.
Bruh omg the exact same thing happened to me :)
Great video!
Excellent channel! The only channel that’s systematically going through chess principles
Very Interesting! What about the Nimzowitch Sixors?
Thank you!!!
Awesome content. Keep it up 👍
Lol i love how we go from "The Dovetail Mate" to "Damiano's Mate" to "Greco's mate" to... "THE BLIND SWINE MATE"
haha the blind swine sounds so badass
What a video..! Thanks for sharing it.
Very nice tutorial...Thanks!
You are welcome!
Thats an awesome video. Im sure Ill watch this many times. You forgot the Arabian mate. Will you be doing a part two on this series ?
Love your teaching style - highly practical without unnecessary chit-chat!
gotham chess has too musch chitchat
Smothered mate definitivly my favorite.
I remember being shown the smothered mate in between games in a tournament when I was a schoolboy, and I was so happy, the next game passed in a blur.
@@dionlindsay2 You can use puzzle mode to train for only smothered mates, if you really wanna hone it. This is what i've done and I rarely miss smothered mate now.
I haven't even yet watched this video but I know it will be one of the best lessons out there. I know that because your channel cuts to the chase and is one of the best chess improvement channels out there
The Boden’s mate I regularly delivered in blitz chess against the same opponent. With black he’d usually play the Caro-Kann and castle queenside, and I’d position my bishops and sac the queen on c6. After quite a few wins in this way I began warning him, “I’m threatening mate in two”, and he still couldn’t see it, even though he was a +1600 player. At the end I think he did begin to recognise the pattern without my help, but for a weak or even intermediate player it really isn’t easy to spot.
At first I thought this is a really cool idea at 0:40 but after the queen sacks and king takes. When the rook comes over and checks the black king the bishop on f8 can block the rook check and also check the white king.
Wait, do you sacrifice a rook as well then bring your other rook in to check as the white knight guards g5?
After you sacrifice the other rook, it's mate.
1. Qh7 Kh7
2. Rh1 Bh6
3. Rh6 Kh6
4. Rh1#
Deeeeeeep one
That was a good one, I bet(some I know for sure, with after game evaluatin, some had some visual similaritis) I have seen some in games I lost, lol
Bro, this video along with middle game, changed everything for me.
For a while, I would just trade pieces during the middle game cause I could never threaten mate with out it being obvious!
Not I'm planning games and seeing mate in two or more ways and worse case just taking advantage of positions!
Thanks so much!
for me at the 800-1200 elo level is that some people get too invested in their own plans sometimes and dont see mate formulating. the whole sacrificing pieces concept in the attacking concepts video is just a whole level ahead of 800-1200 elo players and has won me so many games as of late. another issue for lower rated players is they bring their queen out and take everything they can with the queen. so you can attack a piece or pawn thats infront of the king and only the queen can take and when it does you just move a rook to pin it. most of the time a piece and queen or pawn and queen for rook and piece is absolutely winning.
