2 Queens On Move 10 😲 | Chess Rating Climb 1415 to 1456

[@ninja4O5]

I was rewatching the rating climb vids to improve my game and the best thing I noticed about Nelsi is that no matter the opponent level be it 400 or 2000+ he always makes his moves assuming that the opponent is going to make the best move possible. He doesn't underestimate and break protocol and play hope-chess even with the lower rated players even though he can and win with just a few moves if he did. Truly a master 🙏

[@kennethandersen7]

[@arrowofkira5658]

Sometimes 1400's lose out of nowhere and sometimes they play like gms and you wonder who taught them playing like that. The only thing most of them have in common is that their time management isn't there yet. They need to slow down more in rapid games and they easily get like 200 rating points.

[@Romans8-9]

Makes sense considering she is 1650 in FIDE.

[@danielyuan9862]

Yeah I think that's why. Players who naturally play fast appear much stronger against slower players because the extra time that you spent thinking on your turn is significant compared to the time they spend on their own move.

[@Michael-cz2rf]

Would love to see the alien gambit for this rating climb. I super chatted it during your last stream but you didn’t know the line. It’s in response to the caro. 1. e4 c6 2. d4 d5 3. Nd2 dxe4 4. Nxe4 Nf6 5. Ng5 h6 6. Nxf7 Kxf7 Engine refutes this opening but I have a 80% win rate with it at 1675 elo. The idea is black has severely weakened their light squares and you will get extremely rapid development after Bc4+, Nf3, and O-O. Pressure the e file and try to land a knight on e5 with check. Love the videos hope to see this opening in a future one!

[@alexalters1861]

I was so hype when i saw the caro kahn cause i requested alien gambit to, then i saw knight out and was sad lol

that last game, the Poniziani (sp?), rather than Bb5 in the opening, playing Qa4 (check), winning the knight on e4 in the fork was what I expected; didn't even consider the bishop move. Keep up the great chess and content! I've learned a great deal :)

[@MiniGunTurtle36]

That’s the second best move but Bb5+ is pretty overwhelming and unless the opponent plays perfectly and finds Qb6 they’re just completely lost

Hey Nelson, your videos got me into chess 4 months ago, and today I broke 1500! Thanks for these great videos!

[@barclayv8282]

I really enjoy your vids. I was watching Levi but have, since, started watching you more. You're less annoying and are so human and very transparent with your breakdowns, thoughts and admissions of error. Martial arts philosophy states that once a teacher loses the willingness to learn from students he has lost all ability to grow. You acknowledge threats and challenge from lower rated players and, in doing so, allow yourself ego-less opportunity for improvement. Thanks, very much, for all this free content. Cheers to you.

I often watch your videos on the TV in my bedroom, and sometimes I forget to set the sleep timer. So, the TV keeps playing your videos all night until I wake up in the morning. The funny part is, I sleep with my girlfriend, and this has happened so many times that she’s grown sick of chess-it even started showing up in her dreams! HAHAHA Thank you for your videos; they’ve kept me company while I sleep and have taught me a lot about chess. I haven’t improved much yet, but at least I’ve developed some useful mindsets.

[@zetacrucis681]

For Stafford gambit analysis it's best to ignore the engine and look at the games database instead for the target rating range. Those were indeed the odds on winning moves for black.

[@rahullamba9318]

Wow! Game 1 - Such a rough start (Rook & Pawn gone, Knight invasion) and yet instead of chasing the Knight away You exploited the weaknesses! Its Amazing how that pawn on F6 was triple defended though in just 3 moves you not just broke into their defence but won the game. A masterclass! Was wondering why didn't they just castle instead of defending that pawn that too with their King, no less!?

[@Cl0udPvP]

If there was something I had to take away from this, it is that system you played in game 3. Preventing the dark squared bishop from any play and it just being so solid makes it to appealing to me.

[@cegalleta]

[@mikemoody3651]

Resign seemed like the right move in game 3, no? Whatever white does, the next move is Rf1+, trade everything off and the black king escorts the pawn to a queen.

It feels like the 5th game, the Caro-Kann, the opponent might have been cooking rice. They almost always took 13-20 seconds and had some moves I wouldn't expect from a 1400. The analysis at the end was lower than I expected, though.

[@HybridDom]

37:25 so what happens if you attack the bishop first with your pawn. Then bring out your other bishop?

[@eekwibble]

Hikaru's actual chair would die inside watching that game.

[@windows5k]

@30:20 wouldn’t rook to b1 be a solid move? Just wondering. ✌🏽

[@BananaDope]

Yeah, that's the main threat in this position, because after Pawn promotes, Rxa1, Kxa1, the black king just goes up to g2 and has an unstoppable pawn. If white tries to check, black could just go down, probably losing the pawn but getting a queen.

At 46:37 I can't understand why you didn't place the bishop on f4, supporting the knight, supported in turn by the queen on c1, instead of going for the nonexistent pin on g5. The f6 knight is going to come in anyway. I think you were playing hope chess, wanting to take the f6 knight and mess up Black's pawn structure. Anyway it would have prevented a lot of heartache afterwards.

hello at 54:44, could you have take the bishop on d6 with your rook? I see rXd6, QxA1+, KH7. At this point, black can't take your Queen or Rd8# happen so Rf7 is needed. I know this would have trade a rook for the bishop but would this position be advantageous for black?
