First ever migraine when you’re trying to play an OTB tourney is brutal. I had my first and only migraine a few years ago after getting some new glasses. Until that point I thought they were just bad headaches, but it felt like someone had wedged an ice pick into my brain through my eye. I had to draw the blinds and lie down. Having to play chess would’ve been rough indeed. Still, think you got a great result there! And cool to see you back in the OTB saddle!
This was an exciting video! I want you to play in more tournaments. You’re teaching us, and what better place to practice what we learn than in a tournament? And if you play in tournaments then you can even instruct us on the psychological component (or things outside of our control like a migraine). I think your chess experience is very valuable to your audience, but obviously just do what you want and we’ll be fine 😅
I really like watching videos like this, where you are analyzing games with equal strength opponents and showing us your thought process. Helps me walk away with, “alright, let’s try incorporating this, let me pause here and think what I would do in Nelson’s spot” and then unpausing and hearing your thoughts. Much appreciated and helps us improve our games by learning good habits from yours!
Your interesting and informative channel 'popped up' on my droid yesterday. The video was the one about 30 rules for beginners, intermediate and advanced players. It will be helpful, as I will be trying to help children learn and hopefully advance in chess in bi-weekly sessions as an 'elective' course.
The good part is that you always play better and you agree with your mistakes. Moreover, you also tell how that mistake should have been rectified. I really enjoy watching your videos. Keep going and play in more tournaments👍
Keep those OTB vids coming Nelson, they are terrific and I always learn lots from all your vids. I don't know where you get all your puzzles from either but they are just great.
Haha. I love the contrast in their styles. Levy's so bombastic and Nelson's "and then we went ahead with the checkmate as previously mentioned and onto the next game"
just so easy to understand your simple but extremely logical explanations. thank you for sharing all the tactics, experience, and OBT stuff. my son played it up to 11 years old and as an observing dad I always thought it broke all rules of chess - noisy, distracting, loads of people talking in the hall... chess for me was quiet, immerse in your own world, play a game that lasts forever... well, that it what I learned in the 80s... trying to get back to it, love the channel!!
Love your vids mane! I feel like I really get to learn. Listening to you consider various positions helps me not feel so bad when I’m trying to evaluate my own.
Thank you for your channel. Im 45 and just started to play with a friend few weeks ago and the score is 13 - 0. Won my first game today after I discovered your channel few days ago. Love how you explained everything and your thoughts process. I would never ever thought I would be so into it and loving watching chess because of your explanations. or else I would have no idea what is going on.
Love the recap over the board. Being a 1500 player myself its helpful to see how you defeat 1600 rated players which I don't typically see when its always titled players vs titled players. More tournament recaps please
Awesome vid! Maybe next time try n bring along a camera person with you to the tournament although it might be a bit distracting for you but later you can voice over it, go through your thought process with the footage playing
Would I like more like this? Sure Nelson. Better than laddering up from 400 level players. And knowing more about opponents makes it more interesting. Thank you.
39:26 "stockfish is just ridiculous" but White controls the ...a6-square and forcing the ...c8-Rook to move lends itself to White winning the ...c6-Knight rather than losing the d4-pawn. I think humans could find the stockfish move there (Qxa6). Migraines and time control and human interaction play a big part of it though. Nice performance for the tourney!
Levy describes anxiety attacks due to the stress. I have only played since the beginning of the pandemic and have never played live (ever)and just taught myself...and I still sometimes feel sick to my stomach lol
I really like your round 1 game because this is an opening I play a lot, and yeah sometimes I go down quickly...like how you lost the queen. You could add some pointers how the queen should have been saved.
Thanks for sharing, I really enjoy your videos. I played a couple over the board games this afternoon at the local club in Mount Vernon. First game I played the London which I’ve been playing a lot lately and I won the game. Then I decided to open with the cowAnd it turned out to be a really weird game both are kings were in the middle and I was trying to figure out how to get Castleton connect the rooks. Then I saw an impending fork which would definitely leave the game in my favor and I looked at my opponents face to see if I could see if you noticed what was going on.
Take a break. Taking breaks is one of the best tips I ever received. I lost about 150 elo over the past week and I'm nearly hitting my peak again after taking a break for a few days
If you start tilting, stop playing for the day. Some days we are sharper than others. If I lose 3 or 4 in a row, I just stop playing that time control, or just stop playing altogether for the day. If I keep playing just to get my elo back, I'll continue to lose until im down 100 points. When Im refreshed the next day, I start winning again. That's the key. I haven't lost any more than 50elo~ before gaining the points back since I started practicing this.
Unrelated to your OTB game, but this is regarding the 100 year old puzzle that stockfish could not solve. Comments are disabled there because it is marked as content for kids. As to why stockfish could not see the solution, the only thing I can come up with is that for performance reasons, the engine eliminates some candidate moves early on instead of calculating every possible move to the end. I am not too familiar with the inner workings, but the cost of calculating 16 moves deep, even a 50 percent reduction of candidate moves per level would yield a 65k factor time reduction. Which is the difference between 1 second and 20 hours. Now chess isn't even binary or linear, it is much worse than that, so I expect it cuts off a lot more than half of the candidate moves in order to search deep within a reasonable amount of time, possibly using (human) heuristics. Whatever path this puzzle required, just fell victim to whatever optimizations the designers of stockfish were using to limit the search space. Since the puzzle only went on for a handful moves, maybe it could have solved it by cranking up the quality, and reducing the depth.
Yes, we liked it -- we'll have more, please. Games of chess with story and narrative attached are all the more engaging and illumating For myself, at least. But I'm certain the rest of your audience mostly will agree Keep up the good work, man - you're making us all better 😊
@35:39 I thought you were going to dig the bishop out of the fianchetto. Seems like Kh1, Rg1 creates a lot of problems for Black. Knight's hanging because of the pin and if he retreats, the rook lift threatens mate in 2. Maybe the queenside knight can help with defense or create counterplay by gobbling some pawns. Qd7->Qh3 looks too slow because mobility is really hindered.
You're still the man...and I wouldn't know anything about chess if it weren't for your channel...in fact I should probably watch a lot more because I'm still terrible but hey...not your fault...that's on me...just keep going man...cheers!
A comment regarding the first game, when you move the queen to the king side initially (Qh5) and you say "I decided to go with the ultra-aggressive approach Qh5..." and a couple moves later on questioning why you did not play e5 you say "I was just trying to play nice and solid and careful and played e6 instead." A lot of people have this issue they want to play aggressive openings, gambits...but at the same time they want to be solid. this often leads to trouble, specially in gambit openings because playing solid the advantage you had will vanish when the opponents consolidates and you're just left with material deficit. Also, you need to have one plan and execute, two plans in one game create a mess more often than not. happy that you still pulled a point from the game ( but that e5 was really beginning to be played, you were even castled with the rook staring at the queen form the distance, he he) Just thought I'd say something regarding this , when you start off aggressively you need to continue aggressively, like in gambit openings especially often striking at the opponent before they manage to castle. conflicting plans lead to conflicting ideas. anyways, like the video as always good to see you played an Otb tournament after many years. my chess days were mostly otb, stockfish didn't exist(there was fritz 5 or 7 haha), but I started to play bughouse on FICS servers before I took a very long break and just a few years now since I regained interest. the days when people would actually meet and play :)) take care
43:51 Migraines/headaches are one problem that I had when I played over the board many years ago. Aspirin seemed to help, but was I using a "performance-enhancing drug"? 48:36 Migraines/headaches are handy excuses for losing games. Bobby Fischer said, "I have never defeated a healthy opponent!" (Speaking of Bobby Fischer, what ever happened to Puzzle Island?)
At 27:30 you mentioned playing a2 is best, I can kind of see why that is but I'm curious about c5 instead? If he takes, you take back with knight and have a good offensive knight? Is the big problem with that move that you still allow his knight to come in since he doesn't have to capture your pawn? I'd imagine rook c5 would be an interesting follow up in that position to stop the fork and line the room up with the queen? I must be missing something important though... It's kind of bothering me xD
9:09 You could Bb4 and they'd have to take it, then Qxe5.. then dxe5, and you get their queen with Rxd2. Ultimately it's a bishop/knight trade and you lose a rook for a pawn.
If you don't often have migraines, they could be caused by dehydration. Did you drink enough during the games? By the way, it's interesting to take your pulse, especially during blitz matches. I wonder if that's still healthy. That's why I prefer to play Classical nowadays. Get well soon for your cold. Another great video.
26:37 what about something wacky like knight to H5 to chase off the bishop then you play knight to F4 when you get a chance i know knights on the rim but it looks pretty good here.
Zoo for some reason, every time Nelson loses I take it personallly. For some people, it’s Magnus, Hans, Ian, Hikaru or on the streaming side it’s Gotham. I’m team Nelson and after watching Levy’s quest to Grandmaster, I say you go for it. Also, your videos are far easier to watch although I think my favorite is when you lost a game and had to walk away from the mic for a few minutes. Good to see your human!
Even with a migraine your chess was great, if you had not been taking notes for this channel then chances are you may have won against Zurab. Know you would have liked to win all 5 games but considering it was live that you are not as familiar with, spending time taking notes so less time planning plus the migraine, only my humble opinion you where amazing.
I was thinking the same. But it looks like if the king goes forward, the knight falls back to h5 forcing the king to either continue out into the open on h4, or right back to G2. There's probably another mate threat too but idk I'm only 650 🤷🏽♂️
I played a tournament back in 1984. Came in 3rd. A lot of these openings i played but didn’t EVER hear the names. Funny when you learn to play it just comes natural. Over time it gets old to play the Same thing over and over. These new openings come out that i never heard of and i get destroyed
Well....ya learn more by losing than ya do by winning. And, in chess, as in life, that is very true. I liked this video. I learned a lot from it. So it's a win for me! Thnx for posting.
Great video. Lots to learn from your mistakes as well as your lessons. Thanks for the insights. Overall, you lost against two opponents that were ranked higher and won against three that were lower. Not a bad day, considering your head was pounding and you are not fresh with OTB play. I’d take that with a bag of chips.
Another difference: you are "supposed to" write down each move. I say supposed to because I played against an opponent who simply decided he wasn't going to write down anything. It is distracting to stop and write down moves. He didn't bother.
@@ashleyharris4114 Of course, and if there is a challenge about a position, or if a piece is knocked over, it would be necessary to have the moves written down. But this guy simply decided he wouldn't bother and the organizers didn't make him. It wasn't a "high stakes" tournament, of course.
I noticed that when I'm trying to think hard in chess try to calculate everything make some plans I blunder a lot and in general I play worse than when I'm playing in relax way so I think if some of you also make many blunders you should try to play not thinking to much.
oh i thought you messed up like you're going to jail.
I thought he touched a pawn
@@SA_Rocket😂
😀
yeah you never know with youtubers
what would be the crime? my guess is tax evasion
Thanks for the shoutout and the mention Nelson, I am honored! Good recap, taking notes!
Why does this look like an apology video 😂
I thought bro cheated on his queen or sum. 💀
Clickbait if you wanted a real answer
I’m a blunder machine otb and my diagonal blindness is cranked to 1000
same same same i blunder everything to bishops every game
Same. I was really good at chess until I played OTB 😂
I have a elo of 900 but feel like a GM.
First ever migraine when you’re trying to play an OTB tourney is brutal. I had my first and only migraine a few years ago after getting some new glasses.

Still, think you got a great result there! And cool to see you back in the OTB saddle!
I had my first one during my biology regent exam I thankfully got a 86
Yes, let us appreciate Nelson for his courage to take this OTB. I really wish he would do more regardless of his results
Next time put pressure on your closed eye with your hand while you’re laying down
In OTB, you also have to shower and put on clean clothes!
Whoa!
That's some new knowledge
Now shower hmmm
What's that🤨
or ANY clothes!
I don't care who you are, that's funny right there now!
You are funny af, lmao here 🤣
literally what drama could this chess channel with the friendliest dad ever have?

Just as my lunch break ends, ChessVibes posts a new video. Can't wait to watch it on my lunch break tomorrow!
The good part is that you always play better and you agree with your mistakes. Moreover, you also tell how that mistake should have been rectified. I really enjoy watching your videos. Keep going and play in more tournaments👍
Keep those OTB vids coming Nelson, they are terrific and I always learn lots from all your vids. I don't know where you get all your puzzles from either but they are just great.
You should do more OTB!
Good on you for going, playing in these tournaments can only help you improve as a player no matter the result.👍
I’m glad u acknowledge that otb is different than on line!
He never said different lol
38:57 and he sacrificed... The ROOK!!!!!!
More like he gave up the rook and hoped.
lol is that a Gotham reference, right?
yeah, Nelson's a just a smidge more laid back than Levy, imho
...or like 10x less caffeinated maybe 🌝
Haha. I love the contrast in their styles. Levy's so bombastic and Nelson's "and then we went ahead with the checkmate as previously mentioned and onto the next game"
Love your candor. Great lessons demonstrated. Thank you.

Thanks for sharing. As always very educational and entertaining. Addicted to your contents. 🙏💖
Fun recap, felt like I was there. Nice explanations as always. Hope to see more content like this one.. next time though, take a camera with you.

Thank you, master Nelson! A great lecture in every sense indeed. Your subscriber and fan.
Love that you've started OTB again! More like this would be great! (Only if you're up to it though. Sorry you had a migraine, they're the worst!)
love this type of video!
Nice playing, Nelson. I’d love to see more OTB tournaments from you.
I can beat a 1500 otb, but sometimes lose to a 800 in 2d chess.
Well 1200 elo that's what you expect.
Loved the video & good result especially with that migraine ! So you lost to 2 IM's . Would love you to play more OTB , if you'd want to , certainly
Great video. Enjoyed it more otb please. Love ur channel
Yes, please play more OTB tournaments if you're willing.
Really enjoyed this video.
OTB would be great! You have a way to make the recaps interesting.
Awesome vid! Maybe next time try n bring along a camera person with you to the tournament although it might be a bit distracting for you but later you can voice over it, go through your thought process with the footage playing
So glad to hear you messed up Nel. I am constantly doing that very thing! 😥
I did seriously enjoy the OTB Reviews. 😊
You have such a great knack for storytelling with these chess games!
Would I like more like this? Sure Nelson. Better than laddering up from 400 level players. And knowing more about opponents makes it more interesting. Thank you.
Keep going you will reach the IM soon, I watch you since March 6th 2023
He's gonna have to stop playing 800s if he wants to be sharp enough to reach IM level.
@danielward7008 He plays plenty of people in his range :)
Love these chess stories ❤❤❤

Nelson, you are capable to do so well, some healthy vinegar after some loss is perfect to make the rust come off next time! You got this!
first round - you sac the queen for knight & bishop but later you won your opponent's queen back in the endgame! Great game! ‼️‼️‼️
Great recap. Thanks
I really like your round 1 game because this is an opening I play a lot, and yeah sometimes I go down quickly...like how you lost the queen. You could add some pointers how the queen should have been saved.
Excellent, enjoyable series. Please keep it up. (975 player here). Thanks.
Nice recap. Also recovering after losing your queen drives home the need to persevere even when your down.
Are you considering filming an over the board tournament? That would be an interesting change of pace to do once in a while.
Thanks for sharing, I really enjoy your videos. I played a couple over the board games this afternoon at the local club in Mount Vernon. First game I played the London which I’ve been playing a lot lately and I won the game. Then I decided to open with the cowAnd it turned out to be a really weird game both are kings were in the middle and I was trying to figure out how to get Castleton connect the rooks. Then I saw an impending fork which would definitely leave the game in my favor and I looked at my opponents face to see if I could see if you noticed what was going on.
I love that in game 2 as the opponent resigned, Stockfish sees Mate in 29 moves!
Id love to see more otb tournaments
Ngl I am a blunder magnet. 7 game losing streak and it’s pissing me off
Chess is very tough. When you realize that you free your ego from the easy defeats that happen when you first start at anything especially chess.
Watch every Daniel naroditsky video and record them on lichess study
Went from 1000-1100 to 18-1900
Take a break. Taking breaks is one of the best tips I ever received. I lost about 150 elo over the past week and I'm nearly hitting my peak again after taking a break for a few days

Unrelated to your OTB game, but this is regarding the 100 year old puzzle that stockfish could not solve. Comments are disabled there because it is marked as content for kids. As to why stockfish could not see the solution, the only thing I can come up with is that for performance reasons, the engine eliminates some candidate moves early on instead of calculating every possible move to the end. I am not too familiar with the inner workings, but the cost of calculating 16 moves deep, even a 50 percent reduction of candidate moves per level would yield a 65k factor time reduction. Which is the difference between 1 second and 20 hours. Now chess isn't even binary or linear, it is much worse than that, so I expect it cuts off a lot more than half of the candidate moves in order to search deep within a reasonable amount of time, possibly using (human) heuristics. Whatever path this puzzle required, just fell victim to whatever optimizations the designers of stockfish were using to limit the search space.
Since the puzzle only went on for a handful moves, maybe it could have solved it by cranking up the quality, and reducing the depth.
Nice played...impressive!
Yes, we liked it -- we'll have more, please.
Games of chess with story and narrative attached are all the more engaging and illumating
For myself, at least.
But I'm certain the rest of your audience mostly will agree
Keep up the good work, man - you're making us all better 😊
@35:39 I thought you were going to dig the bishop out of the fianchetto. Seems like Kh1, Rg1 creates a lot of problems for Black. Knight's hanging because of the pin and if he retreats, the rook lift threatens mate in 2.
Maybe the queenside knight can help with defense or create counterplay by gobbling some pawns. Qd7->Qh3 looks too slow because mobility is really hindered.
I must admit! in the last game ,I love this line for black! And have had some beautiful games!
And some devastating losses!😮
You're still the man...and I wouldn't know anything about chess if it weren't for your channel...in fact I should probably watch a lot more because I'm still terrible but hey...not your fault...that's on me...just keep going man...cheers!
Just FYI, when a RUclipsr says "I Messed Up" these days, it usually involves THAT THING YOU DO NOT WANT TO LABEL YOURSELF AS.
This is why I don't play OTB games. You are such a great player stick to what works for you. Plus you are a super teacher.👍
That 1500 guy he played on Round 2 is surprisingly good, he didnt have major blunder against a strong opponent
Nelson explaining how chess works from when it was invented up until 20 years ago made me laugh 😀
Nothing beats the excitement and tension of OTB games. Any serious chess played should try it, IMO. Rapid, blitz but preferably long time controls
A comment regarding the first game, when you move the queen to the king side initially (Qh5) and you say "I decided to go with the ultra-aggressive approach Qh5..." and a couple moves later on questioning why you did not play e5 you say "I was just trying to play nice and solid and careful and played e6 instead."

happy that you still pulled a point from the game ( but that e5 was really beginning to be played, you were even castled with the rook staring at the queen form the distance, he he)
Just thought I'd say something regarding this , when you start off aggressively you need to continue aggressively, like in gambit openings especially often striking at the opponent before they manage to castle.
conflicting plans lead to conflicting ideas.
anyways, like the video as always good to see you played an Otb tournament after many years. my chess days were mostly otb, stockfish didn't exist(there was fritz 5 or 7 haha), but I started to play bughouse on FICS servers before I took a very long break and just a few years now since I regained interest. the days when people would actually meet and play :))

Contrary to what you said in the beginning, you played well enough apart from the final round.
More OTB games, if you’re up for them. Very instructive learning opportunities present themselves to be pondered.
Would love to see more otb
Yes on more OTB tournaments.
tournaments are fun and nice effort
I don't understand why you did not bring your camera with you :)

If moves aren't written down you can't prove something like repetition for example, so it's not just so you can review your own game.
@@ashleyharris4114 Of course, and if there is a challenge about a position, or if a piece is knocked over, it would be necessary to have the moves written down. But this guy simply decided he wouldn't bother and the organizers didn't make him. It wasn't a "high stakes" tournament, of course.
Excellent! In game 3 I also said Rc8 then Nelson played it. By association that makes me NM level, right? 😂
Next time when playing OTB try to setup a camera and tape it all.
I noticed that when I'm trying to think hard in chess try to calculate everything make some plans I blunder a lot and in general I play worse than when I'm playing in relax way so I think if some of you also make many blunders you should try to play not thinking to much.
Same
you blundered your queen again?
As a fellow RUclipsr, I'm digging the thumb/title experimentation! Teaching and inspiring more than you realize!
would love a chess vibes OTB series
Definitely more of those OTB games. Just take notes ;-)
I swear how this year is going on... I thought you messed up as going to jail.
