Very instructive video , certainly for me as Average Joe is now in my rapid range ( although I've not played rapid for a while ) . I appreciate a master will make their craft look easy , but there is much I can learn from these games ! Many thanks Nelson !!
It was so satisfying seeing you shut down the exact type of pawn storm that always ruins me. Thank you! I’ll remember to meet aggression with aggression 💪🏾
Bro you should give all your pieces funny voices so you can make a story as you're moving them around. The pawns could have high, squeaky voices and the rooks could have really low voices like James Earl Jones (RIP)
this is brilliant! Imagine naming your knight Boromir, and then you have to sac him for the checkmate. "I would have followed you, my brother, my captain, my king."
@36:10 I think it's important to distinguish for beginners that disallowing the knight forward with the pawn is only good against the Jobava london, not the against the Italian (e4, nf3, bc4). Against the Italian, it is completely fine to allow the knight in to threaten the fork because there much better ways of dealing with it than in the d4 version with the Jobava London
in the first game at 13:46 there was a clean way to win a piece because after Nxf8 Rxf8 c5! the bishop is attacked but if the bishop moves it undefends the knight on e7 so black has to give up a piece. i think blacks best continuation is Bxh2+ giving up one of the pieces for a pawn. this idea of c5 or playing c4 to threaten c5 trapping the bishop or distracting the bishop had been hanging over the position for a bunch of moves.
As a 1350 I think Nelson hits my rating on the head. I feel like I have a fundamental grasp on the game and how to look for tactics, attacking and defending concepts and some patterns, a handful of openings, but the games I lose often come down to missed details, not calculating something 100% accurately, little things like that. It's those little things that turn into gigantic things in chess. I also think that people in my rating range can do really well in one area or badly in an area. For me for example I think I am better than my rating at openings, way better than my rating at endgames, but my middle game is pretty trash.
I don't think I have ever noticed a chain-reaction like that before, where you move your king, it affects your rooks, and unpins some pawn. That's wild
39:48 is Ng4 a decent move here? You unleash your Queen on the annoying knight and threaten Nxf2 with the triple fork, so the only way white can defend against both threats that I saw is by retreating his knight to h3 which neuters it for the time being.
Hey brother... love the videos..just got into chess and I'm having a lot of fun (and many mistakes) but I do have one question. I see you and many others using those arrows to acout or see what lines to take and move etc (planing) how come that isn't considered a form of cheating cause I noticed it really helps you and others that stream with future moves and tactics... cause I dint have the arrows anddoing all those premeditated moves in my head I always seem to over look somthing or make a mistake 🤔 any thoughts on that? Was just curious 😊
It would be cool if you could make Fischer Random / Chess960 rating climb series. Less focus on the opening theory and more about good opening principles.
"You can't forget about en passant" How can I? In my level an passant is life, I will do an passant move every time I have the opportunity even if the consequence is that I have to lose lol
Halloween gambit shouldnt be played by anyone below 1600 Being down a piece is way to harsh on those levels they wont know how to convert the position and end up losing the game
I think it's better at intermediate levels than either high or low because people learn how to attack before they learn to defend and white barelt has to think about defending at all
I just wanted to say thanks for working on how much you say umm and right. I know I caught some flack from a few of your viewers when I mentioned it before, but it makes it more enjoyable for me to listen and learn from you. You are a very good teacher and my favorite chess channel. Thanks for helping out a poor soul with OCD. :)
I'm glad the guy in game 2 did the pawn rush, I've always had trouble punishing people who play like that
Everybody does the guy make me laugh he try to sofocated Nelson positionaly maybe you can win with a Great tactics if he blounder something
You can punish d33z nutz!
You’re such a great teacher, I really appreciate and look forward to these videos everyday now :)
Game 2 with pawns was very instructive. Thanks Nelson!
It is very instructive when you share your thoughts. better than with most of the other chess sites
I always get into bad positions when my opponents start pushing all their pawns in the beginning of the game. That was extremely helpful!!
En passant is love. En passant is life. You can't ever forget about it; it's forced whenever you have the opportunity to do so.
Don't mind me. Just replying _en passant_
Second game was very instructive indeed
Very instructive video , certainly for me as Average Joe is now in my rapid range ( although I've not played rapid for a while ) . I appreciate a master will make their craft look easy , but there is much I can learn from these games ! Many thanks Nelson !!
41:00 ng4 sure looked tasty
Even better before the queen was moved
Hey Jude! Don't make it bad, take your worst piece and make it better
First game I think missed mate in one. Move rook to take pawn unleashes bishop and puts king in checkmate.
Timestamp?
@@ViolentRetribution19:19, I saw it too
Yep, at 19:19
Yup, I saw it too

12:50 what a relief that some smart guys are still having kids... way to vibe!
You're the best Nelson.
Nelson here’s a GM secrete pawn = pawn
I love eating with your videos man! Love this type of content, thanks!

Now it get is getting interesting for me, nelson is coming closer to My rating range 😊
I'm glad I took took the course of Breaking 1500 ,It seems to be helping a bit ...hoping to finish the videos soon and climb the ratings.
Can u please play kings Indian defence or kings gambit I am trying to learn those having some hard time doing that so it will help me a lot
Thanks for the videos, it helps ALOT! Also , I hope to play with you soon if possible. You are the best mentor ngl.

Wooaa, the game with the early pawn storm, soooooo helpful

I was wondering the same thing...Wonder if it works
@23:38 why not Kc6, block the pawn and prepare the push to e5? If e5 gets captured, retake with the knight, then pick up the c5 with the bishop.
AverageJoe is almost at my elo :D maybe I'll end up being paired against him in the next weeks!
Thank you so much for sharing your experience

19:20 Can we go with rc6?
You make it look so easy
another 4 wins in a row, with still 1 loss & 2 rice! GG!
@23:32 anybody else could hear the baby in the background?
Go back to 13:00 for an explanation
nice thanks
Thank you very much Sir this is a helpful video
44:08 was King takes pawn a better move?
27:57 Nelson wins connect four!
It would be cool if you could make Fischer Random / Chess960 rating climb series. Less focus on the opening theory and more about good opening principles.
at 40:06 - Why didn't you consider knight to g4 - attaching a knight with a queen and threatening a rook fork in the same time?
Hi sir i am 1400 but still i lack the good board view when there are many pieces on the board please make a video regarding it
Play bullet games. It’s trash for spotting tactics, but it’s absolute gold for teaching positional awareness reflexes.
Nelson here really calculated 5 different lines in under 1 minute. Meanwhile my time is suddenly down to 1 minute after I calculated only one line.
"You can't forget about en passant"
How can I? In my level an passant is life, I will do an passant move every time I have the opportunity even if the consequence is that I have to lose lol
It’s forced lol
14:00 i think after nxf8 nxf8 you have c5 removing the bishop from defending the knight?
Halloween gambit shouldnt be played by anyone below 1600
Being down a piece is way to harsh on those levels they wont know how to convert the position and end up losing the game
I think it's better at intermediate levels than either high or low because people learn how to attack before they learn to defend and white barelt has to think about defending at all
Interesting. I would have said it shouldn’t be played above about 1600 to 1800 as being down a piece will be punished
@@michaelhaywood3106 You are right. Petition to ban this gambit

Just enjoy the content and don’t worry about how much he says right or um.
umm really?
Thank you for game2. I still feel uncomfortable if somebody pushes on me like that.
How do you get the game review pop up on top of the existing game , without creating new tabs
Which app is this
good ol passant
Hey can you do a blitz rating climb
Pls play Caro Kann
computers often hate gambits, not surprised it scored fairly low accuracy but computers have ruined the fun in chess lol
Any gambit is dangerous only when you are better at end game and middle game not doing blunder due to time pressure or opponent is really blunders.😂
🔑.
Do you think playing all these low rated players hampers your game when you play people your own rating?
❤
You never told us what opening he 2nd guy was doing
En passant is forced
Not even 5 minutes in and en passant was mentioned
eka = first
I would love to see you spend more time reviewing each game after
