12 Chess Tips to Dominate Your Next Game

[@AdamtheRed-]

So, no matter what you do with the French, your king ends up in Elba.

[@thenplaychess]

love Chess Vibes. Excellent sound quality Nelson, nicely comp'd, EQ'd, de-ess'd. Great mic control and cleanly captured, no springy walls or glitchy clips. I appreciate all the effort my friend.

[@roblodocus2539]

This is my favourite game of the series so far. Qf3, Qh6, c3 all really nice, subtle but powerful moves.

[@NJDJ1986]

Yes Logical Chess series returns tonight!! ‼️‼️

[@floodinmon14]

Nelson! You forgot to assign us homework! Loving this series so far.

[@TeroKoskinen-xy2zz]

18:13 I think somebody chess players say some time: Silent moves is much more dangerous than a check move

[@LiterallyAndy1012]

Your lessons are invaluable, Nelson. I honestly can’t believe this content is free sometimes. Thank you greatly for these uploads. They’ve helped me tremendously.

[@ChessVibesOfficial]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@vincentpeer5188]

I missed a few episodes that I will 100% go back and watch. Just wanted to tell you how valuable I’ve found this series. I learn so much from you. Thank you.

[@Aqsarify]

11:10 hey nelson what about Qh3 right away? , creating a thread that looking for checkmate on h7 , because if black decided to play h6 (Great move) after we play Qh3 , We can just sacrifice the dark squared bishop on h6 ( actually its a brilliant ) to make a permanen hard weakness , on the other side if black decided to defend with g6 after we play Qh3 , we can just put our Queen on h4 To take a free knight ( Sorry for bad english ) , Please let me know😅

[@sundayabe1383]

My key takeaway from this lesson is just a statement that summarises all your 12 tips: "The right move can be the wrong move if played at the wrong time" Super concept that can be applied to every move from start to checkmate!

[@andrasferencz7948]

Brilliant game, with excellent explanation!

[@GGGGGGGGGGNSK]

How should an 1800 Player improve to reach 2000+ and so on...? Please tell

[@saradavaidyanathan2957]

Same doubt. I am too stuck at 1850

[@GGGGGGGGGGNSK]

@@saradavaidyanathan2957 We 1800s need more videos to improve

[@syndrac6254]

​@@saradavaidyanathan2957 At that rank do you guys ahave knowledge of sacrificing pieces especially the rook to create a favorable outcome?

[@Beast_RiderF]

Dang I'm 1900+ , back lose some and win some I bounced to 1880 to 1900

[@danielward7008]

​@@GGGGGGGGGGNSKWatching videos like this will help you improve.

[@salemtv5808]

hey Nelson regarding 18:55 when you said “Trust me it’s a mate in 4” i was wondering how many moves to mating should we be able to and train ourselves visualize? some times the engine indicates mate in 11 can anyone see that ?? thanks u have no idea how much this series have benefited me

[@philmacdonald1435]

16:08 if bishop takes knight on F6, queen is forced to take back or move, then can you play queen H7 check, followed by queen H8 mate? wouldn't that be the best play here? ahhh but the queen leaving makes another escape square for king. lol I had to type it out to see it apparently, thanks for the vids man helping me out a ton!

[@elperro3683]

Way beyond my capabilities.

[@allannortje6440]

I just want to thank you out of my heart for going through this book with us , like I said I already got the book and just when I was reading it I stumbled across your series some months ago. Thanks so much and be the best you can be. Also I am thinking by now you should probably go for Grandmaster level as you CAN you have done so much more in the last three years that would cement your play I mean you are doing things international gm's are doing and learning.

[@Just_Eriito]

Then, when is the right time for the right move? How to differentiate between the right and wrong time? 23:21

[@niravapurv4578]

Tip 14: Always watch Nelson's chess tips videos😊. Thanks again for your brilliant instructive videos.

[@richardlee-shanok5578]

Another great video In the series! I love how you go through the possible moves by black and the refutations. I pause and try to solve them and it is super useful! Keep up the great videos!!

[@shohruhmusidov9339]

Love watching ur videos mr Nelson, keep it up😎😎

[@tessa8230]

Good morning, Nelson! ❤

[@ecardozo7043]

Noted. Tip 13: Never ever play the French.

[@chanduru6297]

😂

[@avaraportti1873]

I mean, you can play French people, they suck.

[@hishamhamed5033]

When you're white and black plays the French defense, you as white are still playing against a French defence. So technically you're playing a French, only as white. Tip 13: never ever play the French defence as black. 😊

[@jennifers6055]

Unless you're German.

[@farouqbaiti4315]

10:36 But black can play C6 and after Bb7 they play b5 and the Bishop is trapped. Should White be up an extra Pawn with a desperado?

[@korah4426]

love this series, keep going, great job, thanks

[@WssW506]

But what about Queen g4 at 21:15 , can prevent or delay the checkmate...? Just asking

[@frankpulmanns6685]

@23:30- ish: Wouldn't b6 followed by white trading knights not pretty much just lead to the same situation we looked at today?

[@andrewbennett5911]

Another great instructive game / lesson , thank you - just shows how easy it is to " innocently " really weaken your position ! Much to learn

[@imcaptain1764]

Why don’t you put evolution bar on the screen 😩 that can be helpful for viewers

[@zetacrucis681]

12:10 (and the similar position a bit later) How about if black plays h5? after which black's knight and queen should be able to defend against white's attack, or so it seems to the severely limited ELO chess computer between my ears.

[@byronwatkins2565]

At 19:55, since e6 is pinned Re5 also seems to work... with Rxf5 next.

[@jamesblalack5131]

I may have found a more crushing move than c3. After c3, black can get the rook for his queen with Qxe3 or Qg7, Rg3 Qxg3. What if instead Rg3+ Kh8, c3 Qe5, f4. The queen is forced off the diagonal just the same, but no longer has the option of trading for the rook. Am I overlooking something?

[@jamesblalack5131]

Also great choice for a book study. I can hardly wait for ep.32, the video on Canal-Capablanca.

[@anthonyragan2696]

The variation Mieses played is the Rubenstein French. It's perfectly playable, but it's solid, rather than aggressive or tactical.

[@cyrdach7578]

Question: after Qf3 you cannot play Bb2, but what about Nd5 blocking the queen off? It looks very natural

[@weagweagweag]

At the end after…Qg7, Rg3 Qxg3, fxg3 for example black is down a queen for a rook. For sure the black King is exposed but is there no way to hide Kh8 and bring the passive rooks on the g file and keep playing?

[@farouqbaiti4315]

10:36 But black can play C6 and after Bb7 they play b5 and the Bishop is trapped.😏 Should White be up an extra Pawn with a desperado?☝🏻

[@brunno2301]

Brillante. Allways good explanation. Many tks my friend

[@screamforme97]

can you make a video how to counterattack when opponent have big and strong center?

[@plokenv]

20:27 What if white goes Rh3 instead of c3? Like does it change anything? The queen is still forced to guard the diagonal or its the same checkmate.

[@thomasmartin7542]

Again great stuff. Sure I've been in similar situations and didn't find the right move ending up in draws or even lost the game.

[@michaelpiper4067]

Cool game. Looking forward to seeing some Budapest content! The A rook sometimes gets lifted to h3 and wins the game.

[@christianfrost8660]

21:15 So would Black's last hope be to play Qxe3? At least there's some comp for the Queen and they have a little time.

[@TeroKoskinen-xy2zz]

Maybe, but if you play Qg7 white play Rg3 and now Qxg3 (hxg3/fxg3) white is double pawn. If you play Qxe3 (fxe3/Qxe3) white is no now double pawn.

[@christianfrost8660]

​@@TeroKoskinen-xy2zzDouble Pawn isn't as bad as an Isolated Pawn.

[@user-mu1sj1fl1y]

The only thing that I could see is that there is f6 creating an escape square and Queen takes h7 is not that venomous anymore or maybe just that Queen takes h7 isn't really a big threat. And because c3 threatens the queen, then the threat on the queen is greater than the threat on h7.

[@mlss4908]

Wait. At 11:10, doesn’t Bxh7+ win on the spot? Black can’t play …Nxh7 or he will lose his Q for a B. So, black has to play Kh8. Then white plays Qh3 setting up a discovered check, planning Bg6+ next followed by Bxf6 and then Qh7++ next. If, instead, black tries … e5 right after Qh3, then Bf5+ wins the black B outright. And the attack still rages on. Did I miss something?

[@blue_red_screen]

Kxh7

[@aladintilao7145]

like your videos bro and your a amazing teacher

[@doublejd4719]

What time do you podcast

[@user-yu5qh1jq5d]

Queen to G7 and then Queen to G6 prevents having to forfeit. Still in a bad position but you can play it out from there.

[@BorisGamingChannel]

Can't white go Rg3+ and then go c3 anyway in the end because if Qe5 then just f4 and the same idea is in place.

[@user-ti4di1uh2d]

I didn’t find the move. I did look at Qh6 and then rook lift but I thought black have f5 and Qf8 and even if I can give a check my queen is still hanging after king move and I can’t take black queen because the rook also protected it. Had I not abandon the idea and look ahead just one more move I’d realized I have Qf6 mate in 2. I guess I just click on the answer to fast.

[@eirikraude854]

I now have "thumbs up" for Chess Vibes automatically connected to the play button! :) 👍👍👍

[@4thPLANETMARS_the_legend]

[@ChristianSoschner]

Fantastic

[@kahrenheit3961]

Black got kicked right in the chessticles

[@hinyuchin4724]

7:26 Qf3? I can't find the following but I got a feeling thats the best move even though black can pin the knight by going Bb7.(yup stockfish agrees) (oh Nxe7 is a check) 9:32 we want to get raid of that knight so Bg5 (interesting stockfish thinks Qg3 is the best move and Re1 and Rd1 is the second best move) 12:49 sacrifice the rook with Re4, the knight can't take because after Bxe4, wait nvm black have f5. hang on a second, stockfish said c5 is better than Rfe8 by 0.1 advantage? and h6 is the best? huh? ok I quit trying to understand what stockfish is thinking 14:14 obviously sac the dark-square bishop 14:46 put more pressure on the knight by playing Qh4 15:38 huh? ok you are confusing me. I think its Bxf6 because you win a knight 16:12 obviously Bxf6. (or not) 17:08 I think its Bxf6 since the queen is no longer protecting the knight, you can double their pawn. Hope it is not going to be like the last line. 17:27 Qh6 (might have accidently glance at stockfish for 0.5s and I saw it) though I probably SOMETIMES can find it in my games. 19:00 If f5 blocking the bishop then white play Re3 threatening Rg3+, Kh8 then Qg7# 20:25 .................................................................................. (after 3min of thinking) I can't find it:( 20:31 huh? Rg3+ is the best move? (+6.0 for white and c3 is only +3.6)

[@callumfrew285]

beautiful

[@natus7959]

Rubinstein French works barely in Professional chess, but for Club Level IT IS really solid. Most White Players dont know theory or like these kinds of positions in the main lines. Play can get positional and slow really quickly. Not, what White wanted. But not playing theory as black is a road to q quick loss.

[@dbgamingyt509]

I am 700 and still I found all the moves in that position(showed in the intro) demonstarted in this video including Qh6 and c3. I actually can solve puzzles quite easily but when it comes to real games, I messes it up, please can anyone give me some tips, it will be appreciated.❤❤

[@SudiptaBan]

Study openings and practice endgames. I'm around 1000, and couldn't solve the positions. Your middle game and tactics are very good.

[@warrenallworth6085]

so good! appreciate these videos!

[@QwDragon]

21:18 What if QxE3?

[@blue_red_screen]

Take the queen

[@Capriciious]

I found C3 in a second with the same explanation going on in my mind😂

[@vishalfgm]

as a 2000s I saw that move within 5 to 7s

In Episode 2 you made it clear a symbol of a king on an open book.would tell viewer it is a continuation of ‘Logical Chess’ but after episode 9 no symbols. I figured you stopped, so I moved on.

[@busy_beaver]

The move was not that hard to find. Took me just a couple of seconds. Some other moves in the game were harder

[@swapnilsik]

Why can't black play Q g4

[@dylanbranhernandez1583]

Thank you Nelson for giving an ideal book in your channel yet I'm trying to catch up. Can I also be pinned for no reason?
