Maybe "anyways" is a transitional word here? He maybe meant "anyways" lets focus on the game . even though he used different words i guess thats what he meant. Am i a nerd? Perhaps. Did i get the joke? Yes , i laughed during the video. Why this comment? Trying to be a little positive about a somewhat seeming to be offensive line. After all we love Nelson
@@AbhiKundu-qz7vk Nah, I didn't mean to be offensive at all. Nelson is maybe my favorite chess tuber. Edit: Yes you're a nerd my friend. Welcome to the club
I played a similar game where I instead of a rook I sat my bishop on f3 with black, blockading both his rook and bishop pretty much the entire game. Very proud of myself. Inspired by the queen of chess LCZ. In the game I watch she usually just slowly choke the opponent out of space.
I watched some bot game vids and it seems AlphaZero at a certain point absolutely loved choking opponents giving up material for better position with opponents materially up but with blocked pieces. Not that Stockfish doesn't love choking opponents but it seems it's more versatile now (and also probably resists those choking attempts better).
Nelson, very instructive understanding on the importance of critical squares in the early part of the game. Enjoying Irving Cherney’s Logical Chess and your step by step tutorial on the games.
Nelson, you and Chernev are teaching me to think in a different dimension, such that I think I understand the significance of c5 to Black. Armed with this insight, as I am playing through the earlier part of the game, I thought ...c5 was appropriate. Later in the game there was good reason for not pushing, but how do I recognize when ...c5 is ripe? Do you have any articulable rules of thumb? Clearly, it would have been better for Black to lose a pawn early, instead of allowing White to lock up his bishop.
I may have found at least a partial answer in Game 19. In Chernev's comment regarding Black's move 6 ...Be7, he hints that ...c5 would've been better. That is, if 7. ...c5; 8. d4xc5, Bxc5 then would have revealed the waste of a tempo on move six. So maybe one principle is to go ...c5 sometime before having moved your dark square bishop.
I ordered the book and went through the first 2 games already. It's really a great piece of writing. I've already upped my game a bit just from that and viewing these videos.
11:59 - I was actually considering Qb3 here, as well as on the next move istead of playing Rc1 and b4 first. I simply saw the permanently weak e pawn and started to aim for capitalizing on it. I understand why these moves are better, but I wonder if Black could really equalize in these situations. Still, it is that double threat again, but I guess an attack with momentum here wouldn't be a good plan. Even if it's a double weakness position - one of them is e6 and the other is the bishop on b7 behind the backward c pawn.
Greetings from Italy. You are the only real one because from time to time you loose. It means your videos are real. Most of other you-tubers never loose. Fakes. Keep up with the good job. Grazie. Ciao
I don't get these high level games where you put the white bishop on G5, whenever I try it they just push the pawn out and kick it back and it's not really opening a weakness because they can just castle the other way. My opponents would NEVER let me just leave a bishop there.
What about at 19:51 bishop b2 threatening to take the e6 pawn. The idea is if rook takes then white plays rook f6 pinning the queen to king and winning it. If queen takes then rook f6 check attacking the vulnerable open king
Thanks for the video. as a 900 rated player, I'm confused how you and the author have identified C5 as such an important square. I would have went into trying to attack king side and never recognized why this square on the opposite side of the board should be contested. Can you help us identify when/why to identify this as an important square when playing queen pawn openings?
I play the rook pawn as black if I suspect white is going for the fried liver trap and has his bishop out and the other bishop protects the key square for the knight to jump in so the queen can't capture the knight. I know it's slow, and so I call it the chicken liver defense. But it's better than a complicated king running around defense.
Hey im curious if you can do a video all on checkmate. I have a good game but can never finish the checkmate I get lots of stalemate even though I'm always ahead
I understand that I need to prevent black from pushing c pawn in the queen’s pawn opening. However, what should I do if Black plays this move early in the opening stage? I always find it annoying as I don’t have pieces to restrict the movement of black’s c pawn early in the game.
I've been away from your channel and chess for a year and my last memory of you is a health issue about your legs if I'm not mistaken. How are you? Did you get back to full health?
"he had a lot of potential but he died anyways"
sounds like he blames him for dying, savage 😂
He was only 21! RIP Noteboom 😢

That bishop is a complete bummer. Trapped, useless, and doing absolutely nothing to contribute to the game. Thanks for the instruction 🙂
Drawback of queen's gambit declined indeed

Ďakujeme.
Love when you saying stockfish crazy moves it's such takeaway! Thanks you as always for so amazing videos 💯🙏
I love this series so much. Thank you!
"Had lots of potential but ended up dying anyways "😂 wth
It's not like they chose it man it's just destiny
This was awesome! Very good lesson. Thank you.

Great video Nelson, thanks again for all you do
Losing a game just because you can't move a pawn is crazyy
Love your content man. Can't wait for more.
That bishop was sitting on the substitutes' bench for the whole game.
Another instructive video , thank you . Together with Breaking 1500 , these really are wonderful learning tools !
I recently came back to chess and became a d4 player so the last two episodes got recomended at the perfect time haha thanks for the lesson Nelson
Hello! Will there be more of these when the games are up from this book? Loving listening to all the tips from this series

Whole game guy was waiting and waiting to play c5 but couldn't

I drew a position like this as black where I started the game by trading the black bishop and got forced to build on white
Add the Colle Zuk to the list. I'll bet Nelson HATES the Colle Zuk, because it's D pawn and you don't play c4. Lol
That was very interesting. Thank you
What a Legendary Game!🤩
With best wishes for you. Abolhasan from Iran
Hey Nelson. Been away a while... wearing my dream big shirt now "green one" I'm thinkin a need this in a black hoodie. 2yrs but I'm back!
nice game thanks
10:39 here after nxc5 bxf3 you have to take back with the pawn isnt that bad for the king
Tnx for it
15:30, doesnt black also wins a pawn with the dark square bishop?
21:10 would the bishop on c2 accomplish similar things? Because that's been my idea here
10:56 why not just play c5 anyway for the activity. it's definitely untrapped
Because the bishop is undefended and would be taken
"The reason that .... is that ..", please - no "because"! 😊
Hey im curious if you can do a video all on checkmate. I have a good game but can never finish the checkmate I get lots of stalemate even though I'm always ahead
12:10 Here we can play Qb3.😅
what is this program for chess on screen?

What if black players Queen d7 in the end? 23:00
Fun Fact: Nelson might have stopped answering questions in the comments.🤨
I keep questioning.😒
Am I invisible?😐
Who looked at the thumbnail and thought White lost the queen?
Just played a game where i was rated 1350. 🎉
I have

Hey thanks for asking! It was a long journey but yes, I'm basically back to 100% now. Thank the Lord!
