56 Game Win Streak - Here's How I Did it - Rating Climb 606 to 642 ELO (Chess.com Speedrun)

[@Curaclees]

I think the reason these guys had 80 accuracies is because you are forcing them to make a lot of only moves or very logical easy to see defending moves. All it takes is a couple inaccuracies and you exploit it the rest of the game. Also I find your thinking out loud commentary very beneficial as a 1300. Even when I was 800 a couple years ago I find your explanations and reasoning very easy to follow and relatable. You definitely got a good sense of reality and good at teaching. You are the type that could have success teaching anything not just chess

[@ChessVibesOfficial]

Appreciate that!

[@ross-spencer]

I feel like with this series Nelson is becoming the Bob Ross of Chess! Also if I’ve gained any elo this week it’s because of these vids!

[@justinkeefe3456]

Great video I learned some tactics! The thing with the 80% accuracy is when you are beating people up and basically forcing moves on them, it’s ‘the best move’ so their accuracy goes up. Like your neat checkmate at the very end. Those were forced, and also the best moves upping their accuracy. I’m not really highly rated but I play a friend of mine. That’s 500 elo below me minimum, and she gets like 75%-80% on games against me, yet against her same strength players she gets like 55%-70%. Anyway fun video as always thanks! Have a great day everyone! :)?

Nelson - I'm watching a lot of your tutorials. You're very concise and to the point without wild wacky gestures and getting off point. You don't ramble or hem/haw something I find irksome in young adults. I'm retired and like to stay busy so why not learn CHESS ? I always have 2 different sites open so I can hop back and forth and I keep a chess notepad file and fill it in with things you say to watch for and be aware of. Some one on her said you' d make a great teacher - and not just this discipline. Thanks !

[@michaelmcgurk2879]

In the last game around 40:25 was Bxf7+ an option after black played Rc8? It forks the queen on g6 and if black takes with the rook you have Rxc8+ followed by Qxh3 🤔

[@reubenmanzo2054]

7:55 Qh4 looks like an extremely passive move. Qf3 threatens Qxf7# and I'm having difficulty seeing how black would stop that.

[@megauser8512]

I think that black could play f6 and get a queen trade if white takes that pawn.

[@danielyuan9862]

I almost commented that too but f5 miraculously stops everything.

[@reubenmanzo2054]

@@danielyuan9862 So it does because the e4 pawn is now pinned. Fair enough.

[@Thatoneguy-12]

At 26:18 if you took the black pawn with the bishop first, when black recaptures with his bishop you could then recapture his bishop and pawn with your pawn forking the rook and queen. Yes he could try to move away but it would cause a lot of trouble and disruption making him try to save 2 pieces.

[@alexalters1861]

at 38:00 in game 4 did you consider bishop d5? it attacks the rook and the knight can't take it because of the pin on the queen. I may be missing something there but it was unexpected to not hear you talk through it as an idea at least

[@MountainPieEnjoyer]

In low elo like this, you should show how you can easily fall for the Englund Gambit.

[@n312f]

29:26 He sacrificed... THE ROOOOOOOOOOK!!!!!!!

[@charlesr7269]

35:13 if they move the king and you take the rook with the queen thats mate is it not? He played the game about as well as he could have other than not pressuring you in the beginning allowing you to set up and ruining pawn structure

[@charlesr7269]

Correction mate in 2 as he would move the king to H8 and then you follow with queen to G8

[@ednelson2501]

Q: If checkmate is delivered using a rook, a bishop and a pawn. Is there any advantage to determining that the mate was a 9 point win ? ( r 5+ b 3+ p 1 ) Or would that be purely a statistical interest? The mating patterns could be quantified. Average win could be 7.5 , but the avg loss may be 8.25. It may show something ???

[@danielshapiro2472]

At about 4:30 mark- I can tell you for a fact that at 600 rated chess, if you had pushed the E pawn, the opponent would have taken it with the queen thinking it was a free pawn.

[@rasmusharboe3654]

At 40:00... did you overlook bxf7! ? Looks like you will force his queen to take, which gives a queen a bishop and pawn for a bishop and rook. He might even blunder and lose more 39:59

[@megauser8512]

Yeah, but black could take with the rook instead, but if black is not careful, then they could take with their queen and lose their queen.

[@astro6897]

0:38 it's the Hambleton variation

[@stockpisces]

How can i play with you?

[@RadishAcceptable]

As the player base in chess gets better all around, all players end up playing better, which makes it so that accuracy goes up for lower ratings. It's especially noticeable at the mid ranges. We've seen this in Fight Games for years, where when a game first releases all ranks, even top ranks, make a lot of mistakes, and after five years or so the top players are almost perfect in their plans and execution. This is the same story, just with general audience education being the primary driving factor instead of raw time limiting people's experience with the game. So as more good chess educators make good chess training and strategy available to more people, lower rated players will objectively perform better and people in the mid range who do not improve will see a drop in their personal rating.

[@s--cn8ee]

The reason they play well is because they see themselves as being rated higher than you and therefore think they are better than you. The placebo effect

[@hetishelder9149]

[@DanielSong39]

The opponents are getting better, to the point where I think Chess Vibes would lose the majority of games with queen odds and would have a real challenge even with rook odds Against

[@roblodocus2539]

I guess with accuracy it doesn’t necessarily represent the complexity of a game. Some games seem to follow more obvious routes after say a mistake where one side loses a piece early, and then a bunch of trades happen. I’ve noticed when reviewing my own games that even if I’m down material the engine often gives the stamp of approval to trading pieces. Whereas other games can be so labyrinthian to navigate, like walking a tight rope where there are bad moves and blunders all over the place, with few good moves available to hunt down. I must admit though a few of these players have played very very well, but one or two do make me a little suspicious. Will be interesting to see if any accounts get closed later. Maybe it’s just the numbering system implying the skill gaps are bigger than the reality. Scary thought.

[@iluxa-4000]

I wonder at which rating you'll get your first loss

[@satgurs]

probably in the 1000 to 1500 range if i had to guess

[@s--cn8ee]

@@satgurs I'm 1500 There's no way he's going to lose to less than 1900 even with this rating range the chances of them winning are very slim to non-existent

Video idea: you play against Martin but you can’t lose pawns

[@MrBabadis]

Yesterday I surpassed the 1700 elo. I can see that it’s getting much more difficult to ”become better”. If anyone has any tips please comment🙌

[@justinkeefe3456]

Wow fantastic! 1700 is no small feat! I’d assume it gets exponentially harder as you go up. Going up like 50 elo now is probably close to as hard as gaining 300 if you we’re an 800. Shoot at 300 you’d be a 2000. I’m like 500 below you though so don’t listen to me haha. Again well done my friend

[@arrowofkira5658]

Congrats, yeah I'm at 1600 and face the same issue, if you wanna get better from that point on you have to do more than you did in the past. Tactics are getting sharper, people know theory and stop blundering more obvious stuff. Imo identifying your weaknesses and strengths compared to other players of your rating is the first thing you have to figure out and then you see how much time and energy you wanna invest in getting better. If you're below average on tactics doing more puzzles will help eventually, if you don't know as much theory just study openings and/or endgames. Hope any of this helps you ❤

As far as 500-600 playing better then rated, I don't know. I'm currently in that range. I had 2 games with 90%, 1 was 70%. (Recently) Some days I'm not in in but sometimes I'm destroying. I can beat bots at about 1300-1400. I've also had game review score me 1500-2000+ at times so.... don't know. I'm thinking something is off.

[@todddalton4579]

Honestly the estimate overshoots by like 500 points. Site thinks I played like a 2200 when I'm only 1550 in rapid. It was a very short game though (23 moves)

[@SawyerSulzener]

I'm similar. I am rated roughly 630 in Rapid, but can defeat 1300 (occasionally 1400 rated bots.).

[@shaggysunshine7441]

@todddalton4579 still means I should be in 1000-1500 not 500-600. I think a lot of higher ratings somehow got stuck at low elos lol think their algorithm might be off

[@SawyerSulzener]

@@shaggysunshine7441 There's no "algorithm". The only system is the elo rating system, which isn't faulty unless you've only played like 0-20 games. This particular system functions using a mathematical formula. As Todd said, the game evaluation often overshoots, but even if not, it only evaluates your one game performance.

[@shaggysunshine7441]
