I’m gonna watch your streams anyways, love your channel. But maybe something like 15|10 could be a nice fit. More time to think but also not too long. Cheers Nelson!
for me it's like the more time i have to think about stuff the more i overthink and occasionally even play worse than in a 10/15min game i'm more of a instinct based player. ofc i make a couple blunders or overlook things, but even then it feels more right this way
Nelson, I see your philosophy on time formats have evolved over time. Will you & Kristin consider bringing back "Kristin Plays Chess" at 30-min time controls?
You should get used to the time control again. Players make less blunders; you are going to face higher quality moves. Also, try going to lichess. People don’t cheat as much there, it’s more of a purist chess site
Vegtin only played 1 rapid game in the last 7 days and it was a 30 minute against you. He's also 1500 bullet. After he beat you he lost to a 1900 at blitz player...hmmmmm...The problem is with only a few people in the 30 minute queue, you're an easy target for troll cheating.
960 rating climb would be the most amazing thing ever! - BONUS REASON to do it: 😮- there are very few cheaters in 960 (maybe the cheating programs aren't set up for it??
I spend zero time watching 3 minute games as the creator doesn't have time to explain moves. What I would really like is a format where I get three hours and Nelson gets three minutes...
focus less on "cheating" and trying to outdetect them. if you loose so what? not everyone will be cheating. far superior move to be gracious rather than spend a lot of time on finding "cheaters". its gives the content a poor vibe when the word "cheater" or "cheating" appears so many times.
Whenever its under bizarre circumstances yes. Like a guy taking 30 seconds per move in the opening where any non cheater plays the first 5 or 6 moves instantly. Or when there's a mindlessly easy win like when nelson hung his queen on purpose, and the cheater took over a minute and didnt even take it, instead going for obscure mate that a normal player wouldn't even bother to calculate. And if they did they certainly would have delivered the final move instantly, not take 30 seconds for mate in 1.
Apparently everyone except nelsi is cheating... And don't do that stupid move analysis because you lie on it half the time! Even a 600 elo player gets around 50% of their moves either 1,2or3 according to stockfish! Try and Improve your gameplay instead of whining about cheating all the time, pathetic!
Man im so happy you did this
I think 15/10 is a better format. More interesting for the audience and time to explain but you can’t flag
15/10 is by far my fav time control.
Hilarious how many people give Nelson crap when he talks about cheaters and then one literally gets banned in the middle of a game
15/10 is a good compromise I think. Thanks for the video.
30 minutes/side is honestly too much time to watch a game for me. I might still watch one every now and then and variety is always good.
I don't know about 30-minute games, but my college girlfriend said I was a one-minute master.
Now she is with a Blitz player I am guessing? 😅
Good change! Go for it!
Personally I prefer the 10/0 or 15/10 time control to watch but I'm gonna watch anyway, so you do you
I think it is helpful for better chess.

So happy you did this, explain your thoughts more!
Longer time control you can still as a viewer use 1.5 speed for example

Thanks for the longer time control
If you want real games, play in the Unrated section.
Thanks for your teaching and explanations.
Time for a change, why not!
Enjoy.
But thank you for going to 30 min as you SAID you can explain your thinking so much better.
Nelson, you should do 15 + 10. I think your audience will like these games more.

I love your videos, literally watch them all the time. The 30 minute games gotta go. Literally feel asleep 5 times trying to get thru this video 😂
Damn I miss the 10 minute games!!!!
tons of previous streams to watch
@@ok-hd4so you’re a dismissive ahole
Who else was scared that the title meant Nelson was going to stop making videos?
Accuse of cheating seems like strong move
check out that first guy's stats in games played - he didn't play from Feb until Aug in 2024, and he just started playing again on Jan 6... odd
Good decision, so glad you made the change
Happy you're going longer I feared you were going to go to shorter games
at 2 hhour mark (2:00:30) what about knight h4 to win the bishop pair? or does that not work for some reason?
Excellent decision 😊😊😊
960 rating climb would be the most amazing thing ever! - BONUS REASON to do it: 😮- there are very few cheaters in 960 (maybe the cheating programs aren't set up for it??
Great. Good chess games are won by smart moves, not by a clock.
Is it possible to make a vid where u blunder and then explain how to save the game?

Fewer cheaters on Lichess
OBVIOUSLY a ricecooker in first, yes he had a lot of lost games, but he propably decided to start cheeting BECOURSE of that!
Damn my pessimism! Reading the title I thought he was going to quit/leave😅
You could have played Qa4 instead
Nice!!!!
They are all cheaters! Go to Lichess!
This first game I’m calling it he’s a cheater way to good in my opinion i started lichchess as I find you find cheaters in low elo aswell
Chessoeht is already banned for being a cheater, do much for a longer format... 😢
Rice cooker first game. Ugh.
I always wonder if you play against a random streamer that doesn't know who you are and is making content for the game against you lol
10 mins is better bro 30 mins u should be so accurate one move here and there then Ggs especially above 2100 players are accurate most of theoves
What
Maybe they literally _just_ started cheating?
No what why
Maybe it’s because you are taking so long
focus less on "cheating" and trying to outdetect them. if you loose so what? not everyone will be cheating. far superior move to be gracious rather than spend a lot of time on finding "cheaters". its gives the content a poor vibe when the word "cheater" or "cheating" appears so many times.
First guy was blatantly cheating. No other word for it.
gracious to cheaters? wtf why?
I'm getting the impression that whenever you're losing, you suspect cheating...
Whenever its under bizarre circumstances yes. Like a guy taking 30 seconds per move in the opening where any non cheater plays the first 5 or 6 moves instantly. Or when there's a mindlessly easy win like when nelson hung his queen on purpose, and the cheater took over a minute and didnt even take it, instead going for obscure mate that a normal player wouldn't even bother to calculate.

i mean he’s right 90% of the time whenever he accuses someone of cheating so idk what your mad at
@@nicholasintrepidity5073 so when evierything is cleer is when to do da procedure 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
I think we found the first opponent in this video
Chicken little = nelsi
Boring
something you failed to consider when deciding to play longer format games is your audience is now basically watching paint dry.
If you call "better time to explain you thinking' 'watching paint dry", your missing the POINT
it’s not watching paint dry
@@svenjonsson4275no man you’re being obnoxiously supportive aint nobody wanna watch a 30 min game.
perhaps you should learn to have an attention span longer than a gnat! 🙄🤦🏼♂
