@@WhiteVanyo How is that luck though? If you blunder a piece, it's still a blunder. You might get "lucky" that your opponent doesn't capitalize on a blunder, but that's a skill issue on their end. You only get "lucky" if you play a move and it turns out to be a winning tactic, but it's still not really luck because you both players intentionally put the pieces in those positions.

Hey Nelson, I think you forgot to add this video to your rating climb playlist, I also couldn't find it listed on your channel. Was wondering when you got the 3rd loss while watching the playlist and realized a video was missing. Had to go to my notifications to get here.
This felt like the first true loss of the speed run. The first loss I am nearly certain was cheating, and the second loss, while Nelson was in a tough position, still was decided on a mouse slip. Super impressive stuff!
Hey Nelson I have an idea. As your opponents are getting stronger and stronger you could try having games maybe 1 in every 3 where you stick to your most solid lines instead of gambits and sacrifices. Or even sticking to solid lines and gambiting every 3rd, 5th game etc (of course if you have potential to). I think as you approach 2000 certain gambits and sacrifices won’t be as strong., This isn’t just so to avoid losses as the rating climb is instructional for viewers, but I think this will lead to a larger variety of games for us to see.
At 23:03 The white queen is trapped..Black's white bishop can defend by going to d7 first and then the black knight to the left of bishop can move to center and capture it in next move. Did Eric miss it, or wanted to be gentle?
In game #2 At 23:56 when you have the bishop pinned, wouldn't it be better to keep developing to increase your options in the attack instead of taking the bishop? If the knight retreating isn't a good move, my instincts tell me that you have a punishing positional response that would really take advantage of that. I wonder about bishop to c5 or knight to g4, and the options you have from there. Anyone have any thoughts?
I love hearing little snippets about your personal life, like, that your wife is also into chess. But, don’t forget to keep stretching your legs between games! Easy to let it slip if you’re starting to feel better.
At 4:40 you could consider e5 emidiately no? Because the white queen does not easily infiltrate... it does not have many squares in front of the black king to go to in this position. In uruzov gambit quenn usualy go to h4... but here it has a long way to get there. I know this is probably more like a ponziani gambit or uruzov gambit declined. Anyway, e5 more or less forces black to take dxe5.. where you can trade queens and win back the knight. Ok you also loose back the pawn. But for me it looks like white has a safer king and a bit better development in that position no?... or can actualy take the e5 pawn unless black protects it with Re8
Dear Nelson; Kind Viewers, I am searching for the game where you played with white. Black attacked your b2 pawn with the Queen but you had an idea to trap the Queen after the take, including a a2 pawn move. It was in some recent stream... please Nelson or somebody, tell me which game it was... THANK YOU
where do you watch these live, i looked on twitch and didnt see that he has any videos, but he is steaming this live somewhere because he is getting members and what not during the stream, Anyone??
How about when you get close to 2000 you just play and comment after the game is done? You are really good at explaining your games, I am sure that even if there's a small immediate loss of precise commentary,, there would still be a lot of content to learn from after the game and I think we all want to see you play your best games.
Why did you take the knight with the h pawn in the first game? If you take with the f pawn you would attack enemy’s f pawn twice and if they take your bishop they’d lose the f pawn.
White can't do that, he needs to address the checkmate threat QxBe2, white needs to castle or protect the bishop like he did by moving the knight back.
Interesting I’m at this level and play e4 and never see gambits outside of the smith morra. Cool strategy but I guess this is the level where you can lose with it even as a titled player.
I'm thinking @5:31 you could push the E pawn right? Black can't move the knight, if capture with pawn then you trade queens and take knight with bishop
Nelson was so devastated by the loss that he forgot to stretch his legs.. 😂. Just a joke sir dont get offended. Not bragging or anything but i noticed Nxe4 as soon as you playes Qg3. Good game by the opponent though.
I don't understand your reaction in the first game. The opponent did nothing supernatural: you went for a gambit, gambitted a piece, and then made a mistake (which you yourself noticed during the game). After that, they were just forcing trades, which worked out.
I don’t understand your reaction to his reaction. He said he thought they were a strong player working their way up and didn’t think they cheated. Not sure what so terrible about that
@@astros7242 The opponent is winning a piece, the attack on their king is completely over, and the queens are gone. So, the only thing that they need to do is to trade pieces and not blunder while being up a piece and having 7 minutes on the clock. So, Nelson doesn't believe that 1700-rated players are capable of that (to the point of checking their account and saying all that stuff)? I'm rated 1770, which is pretty close, and I felt somewhat insulted by these remarks.
@@astros7242 nothing terrible, just ironic, since that is exactly what Nelson is doing. He is a 2200 rated player working his way up. It just seemed weird that he would even mention that the other player "might" be doing the exact same thing, but going out of his way to not accusing him of cheating. Meanwhile, the other player is probably saying the same thing about him.
Now the true games starting to appear, stick to your fundamentals games and win or lose there rather than gambitting, afraid to show true self, don't rely on a crutch, and although, I stop immediately when you get into your personal issues self pity tmi, I'm sorry to say these aren't as instructive as I need them be, hours are precious to me, again sorry, so I'm just stop having youtube recommend me your channel and go back to watching chessnetwork, which I don't know why I ever left.

"How did a NM lose to a 1700?" First of all, rude af. Second of all, dude literally doesn't even understand how Elo works. If this 1700 is even a bit underrated, which it seems clear he is, and is actually an 1800, that means he has a 1.6% chance of winning and a 5% chance of drawing. So yeah, it's gonna happen once in a while; that's literally how Elo works.
Stockfishy approved but nothing abnormal as you heard the man say. Check up on the opponents account for yourself. Everything is in the open for everyone to see.
Not really. 87% with multiple winnings chance for white doesn't look fishy to me. I'm a B player currently, and have played multiple 90% games, including one from the 1980s that mirrored the Fischer-Spassky 1993 rematch Ruy Exchange exactly. That might have been 100%, but Fischer won while still in book from the 1970s.
I'm looking forward to the content with your wife. Uhh that sounds a little weird now that I typed it out 😂 Although I'd love to play with her, my partner gets too anxious about chess. So I'm happy it's something you're going to get to experience

In this instructive series, you do a good job showing how to lose, including staying philosophical about it and learning from your mistakes.
Such great content Nelson, so instructive! Thank you!

28:10 Isn't Qc5 a better move? Seems like it still allows you to trap the queen instead of just taking a pawn. Am I wrong?

I saw the blundered pawn and cringed. I like it that you took the loss, displaying good sportsmanship.

What could have happened with your move Bd6 in game against bobmarcia? Were opponents queen than had some rescue?
1500-1700 rapid is where real chess players reside.. absolute diamond of chess players
The amount of time it took him to find f6 in that game lol
True.. im a noob myself still I was like "isn't f6 a good defence?"
‘As long as we don’t get checkmated, we should be fine.’
I need to remember that! Who knew?
lol

22:20 white's queen could have been trapped here
I'm new here, excellent content i love this climb keep going please
Does bxf7 before bxd8 help a bit on the situation at 8:21?
This is the first game that you were ahead of time lol
5:37 e5 would attack knight if dxe5 qxd8 rxd8 bxf6

At 3:08, the name is most likely "Nihilus," pronounced "Ny-uh-lis," as in the Sith Lord Darth Nihilus from the video game Kotor 2.
Sir what website you use for play chess and how you analysis your match
I saw f3 in final game a few moves back, I was wondering why you never mentioned it.
6:00 I think rd1 and e5
As someone mentioned earlier, move before e5 wins the piece back with a strong attack. But Rd1 continues to build the attack here also.
My rapid is also around 1600-1700, i like how all those opponents do same mistakes every time )
Why did you take the knight with the h pawn in the first game? If you take with the f pawn you would attack enemy’s f pawn twice and if they take your bishop they’d lose the f pawn.
He can't because that pawn is pinned to the King
love the idea about the videos teaching your wife!
Why not f6 at 58:00?
58:20 kept wondering why not f6!!!!!!!
5:40 maybe e5 ?
23:36 Nxe5 looks really strong
Isn’t that just a free knight for white? Black Queen captures and whites bishop is pinned to the king
White can't do that, he needs to address the checkmate threat QxBe2, white needs to castle or protect the bishop like he did by moving the knight back.
@@Deadeye1967I just feel bad I dragged the other guy into this
Qxe2#
World champion Any% you got it!!
At 54:00 why not f6?
Never mind. He finally did it.
Instead of Q-f3, P-e5 wins knight. If p x p then QxQ, winning knight
This is an 80 minute video, not a one position image
P??
Interesting I’m at this level and play e4 and never see gambits outside of the smith morra. Cool strategy but I guess this is the level where you can lose with it even as a titled player.
I'm thinking @5:31 you could push the E pawn right? Black can't move the knight, if capture with pawn then you trade queens and take knight with bishop
Brooooo you're 2k Elo and you didn't see f6 to shut down those rooks.
My 800 ass was screaming f6 at the TV for like 10 turns
never resign for instructional
Awesome diagnosis?? S?
I cannot believe f6 was ther the entire time lmao
