Even though they lost pretty fast, most of them didn't make big one or two move blunders, instead there where insane several move tactics from the winning side
Brilliant video it has improved my moral, as I thought I was the only one to make silly mistakes. Just shows no matter how good you are we can all have an off day.
Dude I'm dyslexic so I have trouble with the files the numbers and letters and also struggle reading so I can't remember what each opening is or defence is. I'm self taught and when I was a kid I was told I was good at chess. Love the damn game. But now I found ur channel u have taught me so much in such a small time I am starting to kick ass again. Cos I taught a few ppl back in the day and they ended up feeding my ass to me cos I could not read or remember stuff but ur channel wow has opened my eyes and gave me a new life in chess as I have not played in 7 years but because of ur channel I can see where I was going wrong in a few games so thank you very much one love merry Christmas and a very Happy New year. Cis you have helped me loads to improve my game in a matter of a few weeks
When you asked to pause the video and find the move,i succeeded (in some of the times) but the only problem is that i had no idea what are the next moves until the checkmate🤣😅
After playing chess for some years (casually) this is the biggest problem me and my friend faced. Finding the brilliant move when you're told to is easy. Recognizing wether there is brilliant move or not on the board is the real challenge.
This has been an amazing year for you man, at the start I remember you were selfpromoting your videos on some obscure chess subreddits with like 300 subs, look where you are now. Congrats, and the best of luck in 2022!!
@@josephbooker259 Gotcha. No, not all mates are forced. A forced mate is a known combination of moves which leads to a mate even if your opponent responds perfectly. If there is a way to avoid checkmate then it is not a forced mate.
you should have added Adhiban Baskaran vs David Navara Game 1. b3 e5 2. Bb2 Nc6 3. c4 Nf6 4. Nf3 e4 5. Nd4 Bc5 6. Nf5 O-O 7. e3 d5 8. cxd5 Nxd5 9. Qg4 , it was just a amazing game do check this out
I wonder if I have just played lots of puzzles or if I have seen these games before but I found all moves except in the game De Firmian v Hansen. Great video
Cool video. I was never good at chess played a bit in high school. I love how you talked through is and gave us a chance to make the move. I got the knight move on the last match 💪
11:46 In this position, instead of kgiht check I think i got a move that also wins just as beautifully. Qe8+ immeditely! ...kf6 Bxe5+ Kxe5 and its mate in 10 ...kxd6 O-O-O+ (Kc7 Bxe5+ Bd6 Qe5+ Kb8 and black loses significant material AND gets mated, the e5 knight is pinned so the only other move would be Nd3+ Rxd3+ and Black loses material of gets mated.) its a bit more complicated than the mate in 4 presented in the video but I just wanted to include that for the O-O-O+ move :) although after Nfd7 which was a horrible blunder then Nxc5 which was also a horrible blunder i guess anything wins.
One thing I noticed in the second game is 2478 looks like an eternity away from 2645 despite it only being 167 points difference yet if you saw a 900 - 1067 it seems like a step away!!!!
3:00 Interesting, the more efficient checkmate for white would be Ng8 which would force black into the Nxd4 position but then this time, g8 would be occupied by white with it also being white's turn, the game would then be ended with the noted Bf6#. Granted, it's just one move off and very similar-the difference being Ng8 instead of Ng4. Ng4 made no sense here though!
Basically, i love playing London, and as soon as somebody takes the dark bishop i know that it's all about attacking their king and not worrying about the material.
11:51 After Nd5 you should explain why white doesn't take the queen but should play Bxe5 Kxe5 Qf4 # in the case that after Nd5 black takes on d6 with the king
Just a headsup - I'm not a chess player, just watching these for fun. But at 4:58 isn't it better to move bishop to H7? King can't take it so he has to move to H8. Move Bishop to G8 and the rook pressures the King. Only the black bishop can block it by moving to H4, so if white moves his queen to H5, that should be a checkmate without trading any of your pieces.
I played many attacks in the London where I lift the rook to f3 and then sacrifice the bishop on h7, this was very similar except rook lift wasn't necessary.
7:15 the one time i ever got them to take on e5 then i mouseslipped and hung my queen for free instead of getting the better position and that was so frustrating
Btw, it's Andreikin (2683) - Karjakin (2760), Moscow 2010, 1-0 in 10 moves; Grachev (2645) - Goryachkina (2478), Sochi RUS 2017, 1-0 in 14 moves; and so on. You've switched the names around. The convention is to list the players, White first. It's odd to list Black first, merely because Black is on top of the screen. Entertaining games though, and what surprises me is that these motifs often recur as though a player was unaware of them.
It is indeed Andreikin - Karjakin (the White player first) in running text. However, what Nelson displayed on screen was not running text, but two labels, one above the other. The higher one was the Black player and the lower one was the White player. This is like two items in a menu. You are meant to read them not together as one text, but separately.
@@rosiefay7283 Thank you for explaining how this unfortunate layout came about. I'm disappointed that Nelson didn't respond. Ambiguity would be removed if the label for Black was higher up the board, e.g. Agadmator: ruclips.net/video/L18FEJ75Lf4/видео.html. Nelson's labels are in the middle of the remaining display (Agamator separates the names with their photos, and puts them on the left where there's space and his face on the other side).
@@rosiefay7283 Thanks for taking the trouble to make the distinction between a label and running text. I think that 'vs' turns it into running text, and the labels are too centred and close to clearly be seen as labelling each side of the board. Nelson could simply add the colour beside the player's name, and delete 'vs'. Karajakin (2760) : Black Andreikin (2683): White Agamator's layout is much clearer, the name of the Black player is far higher up the board, and is a clear label in a sensible place. I hope that these replies catch Nelson's eye.
yup you got it. only move that saves black. However after rook takes and queen takes back... white is up like +7? feeels bad LOL especially at high level. However if white messes up and doesnt take with rook right away, blacks chances improve with good play.
At 5:15 I don’t understand why you would play Rh8 and go for mate in 3 when you could Qh5 then Qh7 for mate in 2. Can someone explain what I am missing?
@@neonchessmate don’t try to promote yourself on the coattails of other content creators. It’s pathetic and rude to the creator. It’s like going into a restaurant and telling the patrons that you have a really good restaurant across the street that everyone should eat at. Unethical.
the 2nd game looks like typical Russian match-fixing, inherited from old-Soviet style! :D edit: also regarding that game: It does not figure in any chess databases that I could find. Any place I look, I only see a game between these two that ended in a draw, in 2016. Are you even sure that it's really Goryachkina and Grachev that this game depicts??
I was able to find the first mate in Karjakin v Andreikin, but if I was black on that board I couldn’t have stopped it. Great play even if it’s only stalling.

It makes me fit morally to build and keep relationships in work place and public. And since following you Nelson, I am learning more you sacrifice to build up wining tricks on Chess board. I you be afraid of of giving off my Queen. But I am leaving you can do that in order to build up positions that win Chess game. I am loving build up tricks - opening files, placing the Bishop on right diagonal row, etc. etc.
I've guessed some of the right moves in your videos and immediately thought "wait no" I'm honestly just surprised I guess right at all considering I don't know much about chess
I guessed the queen sacrifice in the 1st game because of the thumb nail, the bishop sacrifice in the 2nd game, and the killer move in the 3rd game. Great video, Nelson! I enjoyed it.
Even though they lost pretty fast, most of them didn't make big one or two move blunders, instead there where insane several move tactics from the winning side
If you don't count the mate in 1 blunders.

11:48 Qe8+ is also super strong and it leads to forced mate in about 18 moves if black plays Kxd6. It gives a big advantage if Kf6

Would still rather play Nd5+ and get it done now.

"When you think of the London, you don't really think of too many traps and interesting things happening" Eric Rosen would like a word with you.

Two pieces

Thanks for all the great content. I found this video to be a lot of fun, and encouraging after losing several games today.

One of the BEST chess videos for inexperienced dudes like me! Outstanding.. You and Agamator are my favs.
Very entertaining and instructive. Thank you for sharing.
12:12 is a perfect mate, every 9 squares controlled only once, very rare outside composition
Cool video. I was never good at chess played a bit in high school. I love how you talked through is and gave us a chance to make the move. I got the knight move on the last match 💪
Well done Bro not everyone is good so the fact u spotted that was good
Great research on your part to find these games. 👍
I’ve probably won ~50 times using a variation of that London system trap. Very effective at all ranks
11:46 In this position, instead of kgiht check I think i got a move that also wins just as beautifully.
Qe8+ immeditely!
...kf6 Bxe5+ Kxe5 and its mate in 10
...kxd6 O-O-O+
(Kc7 Bxe5+ Bd6 Qe5+ Kb8 and black loses significant material AND gets mated,
the e5 knight is pinned so the only other move would be Nd3+ Rxd3+ and Black loses material of gets mated.)
its a bit more complicated than the mate in 4 presented in the video but I just wanted to include that for the O-O-O+ move :) although after Nfd7 which was a horrible blunder then Nxc5 which was also a horrible blunder i guess anything wins.
selfnote 10:20 ... looks complicated 🙂 but you gave some tips on when black got weaker that I will look at.
One thing I noticed in the second game is 2478 looks like an eternity away from 2645 despite it only being 167 points difference yet if you saw a 900 - 1067 it seems like a step away!!!!

Basically, i love playing London, and as soon as somebody takes the dark bishop i know that it's all about attacking their king and not worrying about the material.
4:00 - I saw this one immediately... the Greek Gift Sacrifice! Thanks to the 1995 movie "Assassins" for teaching me this trick!
11:51 After Nd5 you should explain why white doesn't take the queen but should play Bxe5 Kxe5 Qf4 # in the case that after Nd5 black takes on d6 with the king

The Engine “ hahaha nahhh bro.”
@Nelson thank you for the amazing content. I booked your class to support you

I got all of the moves correct pretty quickly but if I were to play them in my games they would be absolute blunders 🤔

-Chess Vibes 2021
Hey Nelson, what’s your course about?
I played many attacks in the London where I lift the rook to f3 and then sacrifice the bishop on h7, this was very similar except rook lift wasn't necessary.
on 8:39 why not move the queen from f6 to f2?
Because the knight on g4 can capture it.
Those are some crazy-ass funky games. That Karjakin loss... this guy was in the World Chess Championship Final against Carlsen some years back! o_o;;
really enjoy your videos, thanks a lot!
7:15 the one time i ever got them to take on e5 then i mouseslipped and hung my queen for free instead of getting the better position and that was so frustrating
I tried to buy the course, but the code was not valid.
This was my all time favorite Chess Vibes video.
6:44 the GM missed that probably because the GM was focusing on the corner of the board and did not notice the bishop on a3
the first one is insane, the bishop and knight trade places in both mate variations
Great content as always!
Brilliance . Great perfomance of logic
Btw, it's Andreikin (2683) - Karjakin (2760), Moscow 2010, 1-0 in 10 moves; Grachev (2645) - Goryachkina (2478), Sochi RUS 2017, 1-0 in 14 moves; and so on. You've switched the names around.

Some great moves! I will have to try a couple of these out👍
5:00 "if you said Qh5+ you would be wrong" no doubt

The third one was just a blunder. But like a HUGE blunder 💀💀💀
The first game checkmate was similar to one of my games. My game is also 10 moves.
Lesson of the day, Even a chess Gm is still human.
Could white just move f4 to g5 to get a check mate at 11:49
pawn f6 then what
When I get tricked in the opening, I rematch with chess 960 and *destroy* my _boosted_ opponents.
2:41 Why not block with the F6 pawn.
6:40 bishop f7 is also checkmate in one move
nope. the knight defends f7
The only quick mate that I ever fell for was the scholars mate
Were these all rapid and/or blitz games?
Some were but not all of them!
I'd thought for sure you'd mention Reti-Tartakower.

isn’t queen to f2 checkmate at 8:39?
nah cus the knight takes the queen which removes check
ANOTHER howler: 5:00: Qh5 is not check. So why say CHECK, Nellie??
