i think there's actually a possible knight sacrifice by taking on b5 at 2:08. If pawn takes knight, bishop d5 completely traps the rook I learned that one by analyzing a similar position with stockfish a while ago.
in 100-400 they actually are donkeys, don't underestimate how hard chess is for a new player. even when i try to lose and hang mate multiple turns in a row i end up winning because they miss it and hang their queen instead.
Donkey players ... LMAO ... watch out for that 'donkey milk' (i self created ... think about it .. what's thicker than milk and can be easily compared to a stubborn ass :)
5:40 This is called an Arabian mate, with the rook delivering checkmate while the knight guards the rook and prevents the king from sidestepping. That last game was close. Now opening bets on how far we'll get before the first L. I'm going to guess ~1450 due to trying to show off a queen sacrifice that doesn't work.
That last game was fascinating. And close too. 600 rated players can play so solidly at times. With the blunder in game 3, I think chess.com lumps both sides together for the summary. I could be wrong.
Such an excellent series. I am learning so much by watching your thought process for the game. I still struggle to calculate lines and multiple captures and then seeing the position after the dust clears, but this is just helping so much in just the basics. I see tactics and neat moves on one hand, but on the other I blindly blunder things on the regular. This is teaching me to slow it down a bit and just stick with the basics. Good things happen when you do that.
@@TwDjLsTthere has never been a more coddled group of people than non-Whites, collectively, in the history of the world. You dare not even *mention* their mere existence, lest some entitled, privileged cry baby start their whining. Yes, I understand you’re joking but “in jest there is truth.” That your joke even, nominally, makes sense illustrates my point; how is “Arabian mate” at all disparaging?
It’s funny how the mid game feels so complicated because there are so many pieces to watch, but it’s always the king/pawn endgames that get my heart racing and my hands shaking.
39:00 isnt bishop b5 better since after white pawn c4 then bishop takes then queen c3 u can get a rook discover on the queen and its trapped? edit: after consulting stockfish, you can play bishop a6 then if they dont sacrifice queen and instead move back to d3 there is an epic rook take c1 mate
The game ending right at 30:00 was a great game! Every single piece to capture that queen! It was like checkmating the queen making everything seem so. Weird. 😂😂😂
maybe its somewhere in the reactions but why didnt you taken the queen with king on e4 at 36:36?? and instead tried to get two pieces leaving you with just the bishop???? am i missing something?
i would say 1000 in rapid is pretty much intermediate/advanced beginner already. the skill ratings of players have increased a lot even in low-ish elo. even 500s are way better than a couple years ago
that "weird" gambit is actually a very common and popular gambit where i learned chess back at home. We use to call it the sheperd and is the easiest gambit to check mate begginers. for some reason they never see/defend queen to h4 and bishop tp c5.
You should try the Englund Gambit and show how you can get fooled by it in lower elo. Also if they decline, hopefully you can play the Englund Gambit Declined: Reversed Alekhine, Reversed Krebs, Reversed Mhembe Variation.
I've watched your videos to 900 rating but then I left cz I was busy on job. Now recently I've started playing chess again and lost so much rating almost every round lost. Then Again I started watching your this series. and literally 15+ games win streak. Very Good Teaching Ser!
Even at 7:25, sacrificing the two pieces for a piece and two pawns isn't a bad practical idea; even though it's objectively losing, the win rate decreases only slightly (according to lichess database)
Can’t thank you enough for releasing this series, it has helped massively. I’m close to crossing the 700 mark, and I’m currently on an 8 game win streak. And my average accuracy has improved also. Love your videos 🔥🔥
It’s brilliant, I was getting easily confused if I hadn’t seen or learnt an opening properly. Literally sticking to the fundamentals and not rushing has really paid off. Currently 742, and ended with a 10 game winning streak ❤️😎
Wow imagine white would have channeled their inner GM and saw everything after Qh5, that would have been a heartbreaking loss. Great games nonetheless and very instructive stuff, especially in the last game. Like the vid guys.
5:35 actually the real threat was actually not qe7, the real threat is actually qf7 which black has no way to stop that. So, i think he saw that so it just let you checkmate.
*new idea for a chess challenge vs martin* it's called the _"you can't just waltz in here!"-challenge_ like a waltz rhythm you move 1-2-3, 1-2-3 repeating squares for every piece, including pawns (castling counts as 1, a knight obviously as a 3) that should make for a very interesting game :)

I didn't see that blunder of the Queen. I did see the possible checkmate on e5 and was thinking it was probably a good idea to keep the white Queen away from d8 if possible. I kind of wish you didn't do queen trades in a queen and pawn ending so we could see more of them, unless of course the queen trade leads to forced checkmate, a win of material, or something like dragging the opponent's king to the side while also creating a protected passed pawn.
For the love of Lucy, the first humanoid, your mic is doing some weird sharp noises or smth and they really hurt with the phones on. Pleaasssse check it xD
I play at the 600 level. I lose too often against the wandering queen. (I also have a tendency to play my own moves without considering the opponent's moves--it's safe to say I'm not very good!)
When other masters do speedruns, everyone under 1500 ELO hangs a piece every other move. YOUR noob opponents play like mine. Rarely hanging pieces & spotting advanced tactics 😭🤣
I love you Nelson. I like your style. I appreciate you as a human, a chessplayer, and a teacher. I'm still 1018 max. and I'm very pissed off about it. The amount of your videos I can recall , gothams , blonde girl , her sister friends, hikaru's , the man himself (Mr. Carlson).... Chat GPT GDP (ffs) .. anyway... I have so many principalities in my head , I feel like I can teach chess myself.... YET I can't f'in maintain a 1000 elo or carry my apparently ignorant dinosaur @$$ into progressing further... I"m hard walled for over a year. PLEASE SIR >.. AID ME ... I'll get you whatever you are unable getting yourself. :) ';..;'
Peter Patzer, please feel free to take a day off from streaming if you're not feeling well The last thing we want to see is to see him lose to a random 800 due to a mouse slip or blunder
I knew immediately you should have taken with the pawn instead of the queen, and after Qh4 I knew intuitively that Kd6 was bad because of Qd8 (even though I didn't look at the follow-up). And I also knew that Kh6 was not the best and that Kf6 should have been played. Your endgame intuition needs improvement.
"I feel like I'm missing a super obvious thing." He says when talking about a potential queen trap that I as a 1600 would miss 100% of the time.
Thanks! What a great series. Extremely informative. This is the kind insights I have been searching for. Grazie !
Thanks a lot, Barry! Glad it's helpful!
3:41 Nelson calculates mercilessly against a 600.
yeah... 600 like ... I think I can get one more game in while i drive before F I'm so busy... auto resignation in 2.18's
i think there's actually a possible knight sacrifice by taking on b5 at 2:08. If pawn takes knight, bishop d5 completely traps the rook
I learned that one by analyzing a similar position with stockfish a while ago.
That's right it comes out on stockfish as a brilliant move
Very nice!
What I like about this series is that it shows us even players with low ratings as Martin, they're not donkey players who will blunder everything.
But they are much more vulnerable vs aggressive play style and traps as they tend to panic
in 100-400 they actually are donkeys, don't underestimate how hard chess is for a new player. even when i try to lose and hang mate multiple turns in a row i end up winning because they miss it and hang their queen instead.
@yessir watch this series. Yes some of those players did bad but some did quite well. They are better than you are giving them credit for.
Donkey players ... LMAO ... watch out for that 'donkey milk' (i self created ... think about it .. what's thicker than milk and can be easily compared to a stubborn ass :)

I'm guessing somewhere in the 700-1000 range
You'll see a draw before you see an L, I think
I'm thinking ≡ ≈3000
Doesn't Queen F7 deliver mate? I don't see the point of sacrificing the queen unless it is because you just want to give the rook some love?
This series is brilliant, I'm learning a lot from it. Thanks Nelson, you're a great teacher and the best chess channel on YT
brown nose.
Me reviewing my match with Magnus:
Pawn E4 “Blunder - This allows the game to begin and defeat becomes inevitable”
That last game was fascinating. And close too. 600 rated players can play so solidly at times.
With the blunder in game 3, I think chess.com lumps both sides together for the summary. I could be wrong.

Nelsi:If you see a mate in one 😂just ignore it , sacrifice the Queen and then mate in style with ARABIAN mate❤
What kind of racist crap is that! (lol)
More the style more the respect you get
That wasn't a mate in 1 bishop was defending
Qf7 was checkmate without needing to sacrifice the queen, king couldnt take since rook was defending

Hey Nelson, you should try the Alapin Sicilian in one of your games, I hear there's all sorts of tricks and traps in that variation.
It’s funny how the mid game feels so complicated because there are so many pieces to watch, but it’s always the king/pawn endgames that get my heart racing and my hands shaking.
Missed winning a queen with bishop b5 at 39:15
Good point! Wow, so many good moves I'm missing during these games.
What if the queen sidesteps to e3?
Edit: Just saw the following fork with the knight...
39:00 isnt bishop b5 better since after white pawn c4 then bishop takes then queen c3 u can get a rook discover on the queen and its trapped?
edit: after consulting stockfish, you can play bishop a6 then if they dont sacrifice queen and instead move back to d3 there is an epic rook take c1 mate
Thanks!
Great game and good comeback. Thanks for sharing even games that almost went south.
Thanks Dale!
Nelson - really enjoying your series. Thanks for the efforts
The game ending right at 30:00 was a great game! Every single piece to capture that queen! It was like checkmating the queen making everything seem so. Weird. 😂😂😂
5:38 You are better to sacrifice the Queen than giving mate in one.
maybe its somewhere in the reactions but why didnt you taken the queen with king on e4 at 36:36?? and instead tried to get two pieces leaving you with just the bishop???? am i missing something?
I was thinking this too, but the bishop had his king in check.
This is definitely the best tactics for me as a beginner.
Even though I have 1000 Rapid Rating, I still consider that I'm still beginner.
i would say 1000 in rapid is pretty much intermediate/advanced beginner already. the skill ratings of players have increased a lot even in low-ish elo. even 500s are way better than a couple years ago
As an 800 im not scared of 1000's
at 13:24 white actually had the move bishop to H5 because its protected by the queen advancing their bishop and stopping your attack
that "weird" gambit is actually a very common and popular gambit where i learned chess back at home. We use to call it the sheperd and is the easiest gambit to check mate begginers. for some reason they never see/defend queen to h4 and bishop tp c5.
Just wanted to say that this is the third time I'm going through this playlist! thanks again!

Hi Nelson, This series has been really helpful. I started winning many more games. I'm currently in the 600s.
Ah, Nelson's introduction to the Busch-Gass gambit. I've seen him play it but now I see how he found out about it.
38:34 audio glitch warning.
55:28 audio glitch warning.
Thought it was my headphones :o
Intresting last game, very instructive indeed! I'm still amazed about how tricky chess can be.
21:09
At 5:37, there is a pretty two-move checkmate, but isn't Qg7 just mate?
Nelson is such a great teacher
Nice one! Congrats on the run
5:35 actually the real threat was actually not qe7, the real threat is actually qf7 which black has no way to stop that. So, i think he saw that so it just let you checkmate.
14:58 Bxf2+ followed by Qh4+ is maybe an idea?
5:42 queen f7 was mate right away lol
If at 16:55, Kg2 Qh2 Kf3, does the king escape?
blunders all over by the big opponents.. always a treat to watch
37:35 does Bb5 work here?
at 22:17 could have gone nf3+. discovered attack on queen and win it
5:40 This is the Arabian Checkmate
I think this series will eventually become a classic for anyone looking to learn/improve their chess.
I don't think I learned sh!t.
@@TwDjLsT too bad then
57:45 , how e4 takes f4 ?
*new idea for a chess challenge vs martin*
it's called the _"you can't just waltz in here!"-challenge_
like a waltz rhythm you move 1-2-3, 1-2-3 repeating squares for every piece, including pawns (castling counts as 1, a knight obviously as a 3)
that should make for a very interesting game :)
22:53 you missed ne4 trapping the queen and reveal attack with the bishop
bro there is no Nf4 stupid
Nf4?
@@xHKx sorry mb I meant ne4
What do you do after Queen takes h7 pawn?
In the first game when you were setting up the checkmate, why not just go Qf7 checkmate instead of sacrificing the queen on f8?
He saw it he just thought the sacrifice was cooler

Can u play the vienna gambit or the caro kann?
this video was full of insanity, great games
Nelson i play the caro kann and the vienna can u give me some good opening choices for the 1500 range?
Try the catalog or the French defense
Catalon*
1st game Qf7 was mate,instead of the sac and mate in 2
If you find mate in one, look for better
could you try the scotch gambit?
Dude is making it look easy idk why my oponent never play these moves like in the videos...
At minute 37:35 can’t you just move your bishop out to b5 to attack the queen
Nice series for teaching us peasants, thank you.

Hi Nelson, can you show us Pirc deffense as black? It's rare to see in videos
When will be episode 27 of chess puzzles
It already exist
It's on the other channel (Chess Adventures) with episode 28.
42:15 take the queen don’t attack bishop
That last game had me worried.
Game 3 was crazy!
Yo outplayed so much in 2nd game he might never play queen gambit again🤣🤣
im halfway through the vid but that queen trap in game 3 was super nice. very well played
Im anxious for when you reach my elo, between 1200 and 1300
Time stamp 45 minute. Nice :)
Love me some king’s gambit!
Lol... check at 28:40... the queen hitting the castle is not shown....
Dude makes an accidental move and recovers better after I spend 10 minutes thinking of a move which ultimately dooms me. 😆
Love seeing a 2000+ player sweating it out like me. Def not hikaru scrub stomping w no comments
You should try to play the gambit and teach them aboht aggressive play
yes
Was that an Arabian mate? Rook and knight tandem

Dont talk soooo much. Game 3 was quite annoying to watch because of the massive usage of words.
