Absolutely loved your videos. My friend introduced chess to me. He is my first teacher and rival. But at first he kept winning, our score was 28-0. And then your video showed up in my feed and now the score is 43-45. I have a 2 point lead. Thank you.
You are the GOAT, bro. I was stuck at 400, but after watching your livestream and learning how to calculate and move, I hit 600 Elo in 4 days. You are amazing!
As an absolute beginner who has watched more than 500 hours of your videos, i can say I understand the second speedrun way better and i can even predict your next moves. Thank you Nelson!
Hi Nelson, I’ve got a challenge for you: play Martin but, your knights are gangster knights, which means, if your both knights get captured you lose and if you lose one of the knight you have to blunder your queen!! And if you think you can put your knight on a safe square, I’m sorry you can’t so you have to move your knight every 3 moves. And last but not the least, you have to checkmate with your knight or captures the opponent’s knights with your knights without getting captured, you can do anyone of these two you want. Hope you win. Good luck 😉.
All your stuff is good, but this series is definitely the best yet the explaining of every step is so helpful. Also, I would love to see the Catalan opening
I am loving the one-hour versions of these videos. Very in-depth and very helpful! I think it would be beneficial to see such a speed run based solely on your repertoire, or at least a steady repertoire. (A la Building Habits with e4/e5, d4/d5)
Excellent video, thanks for the in depth walkthrough of your thought process, it's so valuable to me as a beginner. I'm a big fan, can't wait for the next one, keep them coming!
Salutations , Nelson! Month-long subscriber here, I especially watch you and Eric Rosen when it comes to chess content. Very instructive and chill videos. Maybe one day play the Alekhine? To especially teach us more exotic ways to play chess instead of the normal, mainstream "Control the center with pawns, develop, etc. etc." kind of openings. It would teach us how some principles have exceptions to them and how we can use those exceptions to put our opponent out of theory and make them think and stay cautious throughout.
Just finished watching this; went to do the daily puzzle and it was (spoiler alert!) this exact knight/rook checkmate pattern! Love your lessons, Nelson. The best series out there. Thanks so much.
You missed M1 in the first game (15:43 you could've played Rg5# or Rg6# or Rg7# or Rg8#) with the discovered attack and taking away the g1 square for the king. But if you have M1 take M2 I guess 😅
This is my favorite chess channel. Your teaching style is so straightforward, so I understand everything you’re doing, but when I try to play with the same mindset, it ain’t so easy
most chess videos on you tube are pretty useless, showing multiple moves do this do that and only work if your opp makes certain moves. This is an excellent video for beginners showing moves in a slow and precise way and also what happens if you make wrong moves. very informative. Thank you.
I have been stuck at 1200 rating for like over a year, i am watching your videos and learning a lot ,even matches against these low rating players along with your explanation is very helpful THANK YOU
Opening suggestions: 1) Lion's Jaw (vs Pirc) 2) Fritz variation (vs Fired Liver attempt) 3) 4. Qd3 (vs French) Love the content; keep up the good work!
I don't know if you'll spot this comment amongst so many others. In the sixth game (think it was that one), you described the general idea of the Ruy Lopez opening, and in particular the purpose of the pin on the knight. I've never heard anyone explain that before. I feel like this sort of explanation is what's been missing for me on most of the openings I've learned. I detest memorizing lines, but short of that I haven't really learned what each opening is about. I know that the Vienna is very much about castling and opening the f-file to use the rook. That about sums up my entire understanding of my opening repertoires. (Maybe the London is a little more about just creating a barricade, but even there, I don't really know if there's a general theory about how to use it to attack.) Would love to see more of this sort of content - not just the basic principles of knights before bishops, but how to make the most use of each opening! Great series, Nelson!
Best speed run series I've seen, thanks. Very informative, in many, many ways. Can you please do the Ponziani? Thank you for such informative, real time lessons. A much more detailed approach than the norm, you've found the perfect teaching medium.
I need more O Kelly Sicilian content!!! Your video on it opened a door for me. At low levels they go D4 so often and get blasted off the board. It would be perfect for the speed run.
I think at 54:13, instead of Ng4 you can go Nh5, and after bringing out the queen, if the pawn blocks the knight can capture. If the h pawn takes the knight, the queen can pickbup the rook.
I would love to see you do the fried liver. Thank you. I am the coach of a local chess team. We go to a lot of scholastic tournaments, and the lower level players love to play this. Thank you! I suggest your channel to a lot of my older players who can go on RUclips. 😊
Hi nelson This is nice video Can we have video on openings where opponent actually play off-book moves like pawn storms early in game and then we can actually transpose our game to different opening depending upon pawn structure. So I the focus on pawn structure with tactics in mind. And the middlegame plan there after
In minute 8:26 you could have already won a knight by bringing your knight to h7. In minute 15:44 there was a check mate in one move by bringing the rook to g6, g7 or g8.
with the fishing pole trap, i usually leave my bishop on c8 and instead put my knight on g4 and then let that get captured instead. the 2 moves that you use to get your knight to g4 from it's starting square would give your opponents a chance to castle, which is what you want.
This was instructive as a Colle player at 450, for when to abandon the system and put your foot on the gas. I’d be curious for your (and others’!) takes on the Torre - do you play it at all, and do you play it the same way as you play the Colle? I know that a lot of folks tend to think of the Zukertort as the more “aggressive” Colle, but I’m trying to experiment with the Torre with keeping the dark square bishop on g5 or f4 (depending on how black’s knight reacts), and putting the queen on b3 to protect the b pawn from the corresponding queen move.
2 месяца назад
48:29 rook takes knight on e4, king recaptures, Qe6+, Kd3, Qe3+ then on both Kc4 and Kc2 Kna3+
I noticed that in my games as well, but for me, it was because I rarely left the tension, so there really wasn't a lot of chances for mistakes from my opponent
My only thought is that almost any “plan” I could come up with is in some real sense “hope chess,” because I’m just unable to see the crazy way the opponent could defend or take advantage of the mistakes of my plan.
At 47 minutes in the colle system when the king is on f6 you had a forced mate in 7 with g4. If Kg6 after Qc2 they can delay the mate by chucking some pieces in the way but after the queen, knight and pawn sac its mate with Nf7. And if knight takes pawn Qf3 leads to mate with the bishop after the same 3 pieces throw themselves in the way. I cant see a way out of it but yall are welcome to play with the position n prove me wrong, im not very good so i might have missed something
Masters always say to not give up the bishop pair. 99 percent of my games are lost because of the knight. I can defend the bishops. The knight always makes some God move, making me lose. If I can remove it without hurting my position, I always do. I almost always win once the knights are gone
One hour of chess lessons, this is an absolute win
Satu jam pelajaran catur, ini adalah kemenangan mutlak
nelson is an absolute win
Yeah I remember Nelson apologising if the videos are too long like mate make a 3 hour video ❤
Lol yes@@toothlessrpm6177

I really appreciate the time you take to explain. Thank you (just don’t flag against a 600 🙂)
you're the best nelson
Thanks Nelson , never tire of going over the basics thoroughly . Always something to learn or reinforce !
.
Nelly -
No one teaches chess (and the thought process behind the moves) as well as you do.
.
Thanks for your contribution to the game !!!
This is true!
"Nelly" LOL
I used fishing pole trap on live game.. I'm really happy now.. thanks bro.. learned a new from this video..
Most instructive chess teacher by a mile.
i do like that he's not like a cocky know it all like some people or blatant sales person
Love this climb every Monday I’m here ! Just wish was more uploads through the week lol
Hello nelson im from Indonesia
I like your video 👍
I like it when you explain, easy to understand and relaxed
The rice guy seeing (Rice=0) : 👁️👄👁️
What is rice
Code for cheater.
A suspected cheater tried saying his move timing was weird, because he was making rice, & chat ran with it, since.
I know Nelson is rated about 2400….. but his total domination of these other players is quite enjoyable. And informative. 🤠
When you explain the game step-by-step it makes the game less overwhelming and more inviting for new players like myself. Thank you
Finally, this is my favorite series
Really love this rating climb ❤
Hi Nelson, I’ve got a challenge for you: play Martin but, your knights are gangster knights, which means, if your both knights get captured you lose and if you lose one of the knight you have to blunder your queen!!

Hope you win. Good luck 😉.
Great idea
Love this series, thanks man!
The best chess lesson on RUclips. I could see my improvement from your videos. Thank you buddy
Literally the best beginner chess lesson in RUclips. God bless you, man.
All your stuff is good, but this series is definitely the best yet the explaining of every step is so helpful. Also, I would love to see the Catalan opening

Nelson you're my favorite chess coach of all time 👍🏽👍🏽
I vote for Busch Gass gambit. Preferably main line with f5 but Stafford gambit transposition is fine too.
Just finished watching this; went to do the daily puzzle and it was (spoiler alert!) this exact knight/rook checkmate pattern! Love your lessons, Nelson. The best series out there. Thanks so much.

@mythbusters866 that's one I missed, right 😅
When you have 5 pieces near the exposed enemy king, there will be many way to checkmate
He missed mate in 3 before that. There was Re2+, Kd1, Rd2+, Ke1, Rd1# or Re2+, Kf1, Qxh3+, Kg1, Qg2# 14:02

THANK YOU
Excited about your new rating climb. You teach so well. Loved the last one, looking forward to all these videos too! :)
How come I can only “like” this video once? It deserves several.
Somehow, very often, everthing on YT is super boring, until I again find an engaging video on CHESS VIBS! :) Thanks for saving my night! :) 👍👍👍
Opening suggestions:
1) Lion's Jaw (vs Pirc)
2) Fritz variation (vs Fired Liver attempt)
3) 4. Qd3 (vs French)
Love the content; keep up the good work!

Very informative, in many, many ways.
Can you please do the Ponziani?
Thank you for such informative, real time lessons. A much more detailed approach than the norm, you've found the perfect teaching medium.
Guys which chess game is this, I want to download
I need more O Kelly Sicilian content!!! Your video on it opened a door for me. At low levels they go D4 so often and get blasted off the board. It would be perfect for the speed run.
This is the best chess resource I’ve found for understanding real game play
Please make a video on jobava London, as London is a very beginner friendly opening and this variation adds a good spice to the London
Some checkmate patterns in this episode:
24:54 Boden's mate
50:29 Dovetail mate
1:08:24 Arabian mate
Really like the episode, I was sad we only get rating climb once a week but an hour long video really make up for it
Thanks for this great tutorial. I am learning so much in terms of rules and principles as well as on the thinking process. I cannot thank you enough!
The Bongcloud and Hippo are classics 😉
I feel really bad for the opponent every time Nelson is explaining an obvious mate in 1 for about a minute. But anyway, great series!
Accelerated dragon, 4 knights scotch
I think at 54:13, instead of Ng4 you can go Nh5, and after bringing out the queen, if the pawn blocks the knight can capture. If the h pawn takes the knight, the queen can pickbup the rook.
It is really nice that on this level you are able to show advanced principles too. Thanks 😊
I would love to see you do the fried liver. Thank you. I am the coach of a local chess team. We go to a lot of scholastic tournaments, and the lower level players love to play this. Thank you! I suggest your channel to a lot of my older players who can go on RUclips. 😊
my man kept this dude in check for the entire game lmao
Nelson, thank you very much for your videos! It helps me a lot, you make chess relaxing and joyful. A hug from Brazil.
What does Rice mean?
@mythbusters866 You mean cheaters?
Hi nelson
This is nice video
Can we have video on openings where opponent actually play off-book moves like pawn storms early in game and then we can actually transpose our game to different opening depending upon pawn structure. So I the focus on pawn structure with tactics in mind. And the middlegame plan there after
that premove queen blunder made my jaw DROP... and then right into the rage quit, that was perfect haha
Question: at 15:38, is be2 a checkmate in one?
In minute 8:26 you could have already won a knight by bringing your knight to h7. In minute 15:44 there was a check mate in one move by bringing the rook to g6, g7 or g8.
You're a great teacher, thank you for sharing your experience with us!
You should teach people the Rousseau Gambit, an absolute crusher in Blitz and Bullet
I'd love to see some Cozio if you get the opportunity
Why do people disconnect rather than simply resign? It’s very discourteous.
Because they are rage quitting
Sometimes I think that newer players just might not know where the resignation button is. But yeah, probably a lot of rage quitting as well.
Thanks. I learned a lot! You're the best, Nelson!
Love the series! Would love to see some Sicilian when the opportunity comes up, specifically Taimanov. And English with white!
I would love to see you play the caro-kann, Nelson. Easily my favorite and most known opening.
man you're stressing me out rambling with the clock dropping under a minute
Thank you Nelson! Made my lunch hour that much better!
with the fishing pole trap, i usually leave my bishop on c8 and instead put my knight on g4 and then let that get captured instead. the 2 moves that you use to get your knight to g4 from it's starting square would give your opponents a chance to castle, which is what you want.
Excellent lesson as usual. Thanks Nelson.
Nelsi, what a beast
Chad*
that pre-move pawn capture was aggressive!
This is a great series. I really enjoyed it and have learned a lot
Hi Nelson, love your teaching, would love to see your approach to the Dutch Defense.
Lmao I love how they say 'deliver' the checkmate. Sounds like it's something they've been eagerly waiting for
This was instructive as a Colle player at 450, for when to abandon the system and put your foot on the gas. I’d be curious for your (and others’!) takes on the Torre - do you play it at all, and do you play it the same way as you play the Colle? I know that a lot of folks tend to think of the Zukertort as the more “aggressive” Colle, but I’m trying to experiment with the Torre with keeping the dark square bishop on g5 or f4 (depending on how black’s knight reacts), and putting the queen on b3 to protect the b pawn from the corresponding queen move.
48:29 rook takes knight on e4, king recaptures, Qe6+, Kd3, Qe3+ then on both Kc4 and Kc2 Kna3+
These and the chess book series are so nice. Thanks for the video
Love your vids! Looking to learn more about open game kieseritzky variation and the French defense.
I'm not much higher than these opponents but who I play against never make these kinds of mistakes lol
I noticed that in my games as well, but for me, it was because I rarely left the tension, so there really wasn't a lot of chances for mistakes from my opponent
My only thought is that almost any “plan” I could come up with is in some real sense “hope chess,” because I’m just unable to see the crazy way the opponent could defend or take advantage of the mistakes of my plan.
At 47 minutes in the colle system when the king is on f6 you had a forced mate in 7 with g4. If Kg6 after Qc2 they can delay the mate by chucking some pieces in the way but after the queen, knight and pawn sac its mate with Nf7. And if knight takes pawn Qf3 leads to mate with the bishop after the same 3 pieces throw themselves in the way. I cant see a way out of it but yall are welcome to play with the position n prove me wrong, im not very good so i might have missed something
Thank you for the thorough explanations
My favourite series. But pretty much your entire channel is my favourite series. Haha.
Your glasses are gorgeous! Well done 😃
Great video ! Very well explained
41:40 fiancetto of the king, thats a brilliant move at 500 elo
Caro Kann
Wow what a strong 450
I was taught the checkmate pattern at 50 minutes is called a "dovetail mate".
Nelly -
In the next rating,climb video, can you show us how you would play as Black using the King’s Indian defense?
22:21 Nakhmanson gambit spirit
Can you make a video on how to memorize chess openings
I think understanding them might be more helpful
Nelson your videos are amazing thank you very much hope you reach 500k subscribers soon.
Masters always say to not give up the bishop pair. 99 percent of my games are lost because of the knight. I can defend the bishops. The knight always makes some God move, making me lose. If I can remove it without hurting my position, I always do. I almost always win once the knights are gone
Very interesting. A small request: is there a way to put a counter to show how many moves?
You must learn the opening theory of your illustrious ancestor, Sr. Lopez!
I'd love to see you play the Danish Gambit.
at 51.05 after winning with 87 % accuracy (and no mistakes) they gave chess vibes a 1050 rating (and his opponent 350) .
Rating climb videos are the best. Thanks
Sick commentary
Thank you so much you're a great coach and you have been reading my mind❤
