SURVIVE AGGRESSIVE OPPONENTS - Easy Solution! Chess Rating Climb 402 to 432

Vienna gambit ?

[@army1057]

A4 rook a3 please! Very solid to activate your rook early in the game!

I just beat him for the first time. Your videos are finally starting to sink in.. .if only i can convert it to the 10 minute games and teach myself to slow down when it matters. I have blundered checkmate and lost the game so many times.. despite watching like 50 of your videos on it lol

At 3:12, after the queen retreats, Nxg4 is also a move. Yes, the queen can take the night, but then you have the fork again with Nxc2+. Or... d5, which attacks the bishop on c4 and is also a revealed attack on the queen.

[@user-yu3qv7yw2e]

29:37 instead of following your plan with the rook, what if you had moved your white bishop to c6? Then you could have traded a bishop for a rook? Am I missing something?

[@ledisi8250]

29:43 maybe use the light colored bishop to exploit the rook pin would’ve saved you a rook

Now I want to know what that first opponent was going to write 😂

[@midnighttrain-jz2my]

I can really understand that your first opponent was pissed very hard 🤣You took 1 minute for each move, even for the obvious check-mate. He must have felt trolled and humiliated.

[@joeandreason9155]

29:40 I saw a skewer pin with the bishop right away and was proud of myself.

[@DaDitka]

At the 29:38 mark, did you miss moving your bishop to c6? You would have at least won back the exchange after the mouse slip.

[@user-ej7sr3ow8b]

1:51 In case anyone is interested, the fancy line Nelson talked about is like this 1. e4 e5 2. Bc4 Nc6 3. Qf3 Nf6 4. Qb3 Nd4 5. Bxf7 Ke7 6. Qc4 b5 And then white must move away the queen, leaving the bishop undefended and black will win a piece

[@WaldoWizard]

Nelson, question- so you're obviously not a 425 rated player and so I'm trying to understand how you can play at that rating against lesser qualified players?? I'm only asking because I want to understand how this works. I love watching these games. 👍

Nelson... When white takes your last knight.. why not use the battery? D1 CHECK, he moves D2 check, he will be forced to move to protect his rook, and then bishop c4

[@anthonyrooksac]

In the 4th game at around 20:00 position, the opponent missed an opportunity to save both rook and knight, by moving king to e2 at discovered check, then Nelson can win a pawn only. I think that the opponent may feel nervous on discovered check or afraid of moving the king to center.

[@ransombaggins9301]

My favorite kind of series! Keep them coming. Only suggestion is to try to speed it up a bit. Not saying you need to play fast or even as fast as the opponent might want. Just a touch more efficiently/concisely. 😊 Perhaps not asking for feedback; more concise explanations, trusting we can follow; maybe leaving some of the more in depth explanations for an after game review. Eric Rosen’s climb is a great example of this kind of balance, I believe. I have that playlist on repeat. But again, no hate. Just suggestions from my point of view. 😊

[@ChessVibesOfficial]

Good feedback! Can I ask your rating? I've been trying to talk like I'm talking to a 400 elo but maybe it's still too slow! Would appreciate it if anyone else rated around 400 could let me know if they feel the same way!

[@user-yu3qv7yw2e]

I personally think the pace is great and I love that even though his opponents are sometimes impatient, he stays consistent and methodical. It makes me feel justified in taking my time too and not feeling rushed by my opponents just because they play quickly.

When you mouse slipped the rook around 30 minutes in you had a nice skewer on the rooks after that. Did you miss it or was that just not a good move for how you were playing?

[@davewright8206]

i find if theres an early exchange of queens i tend to not worry about castling so much

[@shadowjr2000]

After the 2nd mouseslip, Bc6 is still a decent move? Even tho you can lose a rook and bishop for a rook. Still gets value and positioning for the accidental misclick

[@nicob4428]

At the 4th game when the knight moves wouldnt Rock takes bishop on d2 be better instad of pawn a6?

[@jaivanttitus]

In such a scenario, I would always choose qa4 cuz it’s more quiet, qd5 is more provocative, almost everyone will then play rb8, which delays the mate by three moves.

[@koolerstream921]

When you find mate in 1, always look for better :)

[@jlhill22]

13:24 Am I wrong, or did Nelson leave his bishop hanging and not realize it? (Nor did his opponent)

[@harrytiltmam3075]

It wasn't hanging because nelson played rook takes e5 with check then he took the knight that was threatening the bishop next move.

[@MadhanBhavani]

29:41 you missed skewering both rooks with your bishop, maybe that's why the game review thinks it's not a blunder?

[@robertschatz7781]

Thanks!

[@samuelcashman5031]

The reason you didn't blunder the Rook is because you had the follow up move, bishop to C6 which guaranteed a Rook recapture. So stockfish probably saw it as a trade rather then a Blunder.

[@Trelmayas21]

True, but white can respond to Bc6 with Rc4 or Rc2, attacking the undefended Bishop on c5. Still a better exchange for black, but would be white's best counter.

[@samuelcashman5031]

​@@Trelmayas21The undefended Bishop can check the King on E3 or A3, avoiding the attack and still picking up the other Rook.

[@christopherlperezcruz1507]

nah i don't think that's how its calculated. I think its the change in evaluation like M8 -> +4 -> +1 -> - 2 etc. So if you are very far ahead you can't blunder unless you turned the tide or blundered into a stalemate

[@ChristianSoschner]

Great content

[@AhimtarHoN]

29:42 wouldn't it be better to continue with bishop to c6? you would get a rook for a bishop from it at least

Excellent as always.

[@davidstrachan8912]

Nelson. Quick question. I'm just a beginner. Thought I should learn a specific B & W opening (Jobava & Pirc) but you seem to play more freely at lower ELO games. Do you recommend learning an opening at beginner level and just keep trying it until you climb?

28:55 Rd1 looks juicy too 🤔

[@warryen]

“Hey 6 minutes.” I have a friend who plays like this, and it’s no wonder the guy saying it is only 400 rated. Don’t play a 10 minute game if you don’t have the patience for it. If you don’t have the experience to be a blitz player, and you don’t have the patience to play a 5-10 minute game, maybe chess just isn’t for you. Build experience, then get fast.
