How To STOP OPENING TRAPS! | Chess Rating Climb 1051 to 1083

[@ofeklev9859]

Was stuck on 600-700 elo for a few months now, ever since i got to watch your series i broke through 1000 for the first time. Best teacher no doubt.

[@theliamofella]

Yes, he takes the time to consider all options even the bad options that he wouldn’t play and speaks what is running through his mind ✌️👍

[@pesfootball9634]

If you've got time you should also check out naroditsky's speed runs. They will help you a lot as well. Congrats on crossing the 1000 mark♥️

The best series on KZbin!!!! Always great to see an AverageJoe hard work ❤

[@slartiste]

Agree. I love watching these games.

[@bobTom37]

His way of explaining things and teaching is so easily digestible.

[@TheRealChiults]

Sometimes I actually feel bad liking AverageJoe because Peter-Patzer may get jealous...after watching his climb three times I developed kind of a friendship to him 😅

[@vkorchnoifan]

Thanks!

[@haleymartin9342]

I blundered a perpetual OTB tonight by not simplifying fast enough. Wish I had seen this stream first!

Thank you!

@@ChessVibesOfficial thank you for the instructive, entertaining channel. Keep up the good work.

[@MrOnosa]

I've really enjoyed playing the Cozio Defense in my games. I'm right at the Elo level of your current opponents, and had good luck with it. I have less luck using the Polish Defence, though.

[@mariuszpudzianowski8400]

The line with bishop taking knight early in the first game looks interesting for white as there is one less defender near the king.

[@Chomta]

35:16 that's an common continuation in Stafford. This game was transposed to Stafford would have been easier if you have watched Stafford gambit videos

[@JustRightPinedo]

You got a video rec I can watch to learn it?

[@Chomta]

@@JustRightPinedo I don't have, but you can watch Eric rosen's they're pretty good! (Also I was not trying to be mean to Nelson, in fact he's the one who made me go from 500 to 1600. So why would I insult him)

[@Amoeby]

​@JustRightPinedo the only thing you need is to learn how to beat it. Why would you learn a bad opening?

[@claygerrard]

“As long as you don’t blinder something” oh the salt! 😂

[@patricke.987]

Holy sh*t! The Kozio defense??? I had to look that one up! Thanks bro that was a real new one! Much appreciated!

That second game was wild. One of the most entertaining games I've seen

35:53 stockfish just casually moving the king to the side to protect the knight by enabling Q pinned to K is brilliant

[@jstop311]

really enjoying this series. thank you!

[@AdamGreaves37]

You forgot the aura stat brother 🐐

[@shadeburst]

Cool deflection on Game #87. I will try to add that to my mating pattern library!

[@Hotobu]

What I've just started to do is find Nelson's account and play out each move in the explorer tab to see how good some of the moves are. This also lets me play out some scenarios where I think certain moves would be better.

[@ศกรโสมาภา]

Can you add Czech Benoni? I want to see some close position games as well.

[@jfryer485]

Stockfishes destruction of black at 50 minutes is incredible targeting the enemy rook with Queen and Bishop.

[@NJDJ1986]

@48:21 and Nelson sacrificed THE ROOOOOOOOOK! ‼️‼️ that was brilliant tactic by Nelson!

[@alexwangombe8534]

It took me a while to find the move when he said to pause the video, but i’m glad I did, it was so satisfying! now if only i could find moves like that in my own games!

[@johnruffi5651]

can hardly believe it but i've watched several of these and all of a sudden i'm winning every game i play. thanks!

[@andyclark8991]

What a cool and awesome video love your videos mate.

[@mr.minnesoulja1257]

Love your content Nelson!

[@sorayabeharfeldman]

Hi Nelson I love your series and I just wanted to tell you that even though he didn’t have the queen you had the the 2 knights checkmate you could’ve just taken the rook and when he takes back nf7 is still checkmate

[@brianccc8894]

Man love your page. I'm around a 1200 player and know it's not great but took a lot to get here. I always hope I see AverageJoe as my opponent but never do. Maybe one day though. Be interested to hear commentary thoughts on my play. Keep up great work

[@rileyduram6437]

Your videos are great should have subbed a long time ago keep it up

[@kirkobrien2979]

Can you add the King's Indian? Miss seeing this since your last rating climb, thanks!

[@NJDJ1986]

dude how did you get to watch this video 10 hours ago when it was just uploaded for 6 minutes?

[@NJDJ1986]

@Uhnonimaus hmm makes sense

[@fvolcansek]

So I had a thought that I’ve wanted to share. You are completely right about players rated around 1000. I really feel your loss was due to Rice. I am mentioning it now because it has bugged me ever since I watched that video. Finally I just wanted to say that I love your videos. I’ve really benefited from watching how you think and analyze the board. Thank you!!

[@sean3533]

The second game was so aggressive, very fun to learn!

[@minkman1770]

I want to watch the AverageJoe rating climb in order. I am finding it frustrating to find the next one each time on KZbin. Peter Patzer rating climb had a play list which I finally found. I thoroughly enjoyed it! It made it really easy. Could you let me know how to find the next sequential video?

[@ChessVibesOfficial]

The playlist for this one should be on the home page.

[@phoenix402]

i have been watching his series through the playlist. go to his channel, navigate to the playlists tab and look for a playlist called "Beginner To Master Chess Rating Climb (2024)", it should be near the top of the page still. hope that helps.

[@miguelfreitas4257]

Thank you for the series, it's definetly helping my game watching your videos. I would like to see diferent gambits (more "respectful" ones) like budapest, portuguese, benko from black perspective and smith-morra, danish or Evans from white. Keep going with the good work 👍

[@miguelfreitas4257]

Thats what happens when you dont finish the video, you played a danish 😅

[@ЕгорДьяковский]

Big big thanks :) waiting for more

[@gdoak1836]

[@kaushikashtekar3350]

Could you play and explain the scotch and its variations

[@dhananjayrathod-tt7me]

You are best sir.❤

[@jpc812]

I am a solid blundering 1000 rated player. And it seems the similarly rated ppl I am playing against don't make the same mistakes as are often show here against you, Nelson. They play like grandmasters and inevitably I end up blundering something and then I lose against them. I do love your content though. You are a regular watch for me whenever you post anything. Keep it up, I am learning much from you.

[@joachimfrank4134]

Perhaps they are National Masters masking as average Joe.

[@belue2429]

One reason they blunder more with Nelson is because he causes them lots of problems. He makes things complicated, rarely miscalculates anything, and is very accurate! He plays the moves that causes them to blunder basically. 😊

[@Divinevert]

Yeah. I play a high accuracy rating at around 800, but it's because I'm playing vs similar 800s and we don't have tactics like Nelson does to create very complicated situations.

[@belue2429]

@@Divinevert exactly!

[@ChessKing999-YT]

11:53 if you played f4 you trapped the rook isnt it??

[@nb-eq6rw]

Please play the old Benoni. It is my favourite opening and I am consistently 1500 in blitz and 1800 in rapid minimum. I like playing 1. d4 c5 2. d5 e5

[@nb-eq6rw]

I would also be interested in Modern Benoni repertoire as I am much more familiar in forced openings like Jobava London and old Benoni

[@christianfrost8660]

Stockfish went crazy this episode.

[@donkeykong1234]

someone did a jobava london on me, first time i've seen it through the whole fried liver effect and the queen sacrifice / knight double fork and it was wild. i don't know how i came back and won but now i'm a big fan. would be interested in seeing how you would play that as white or defend as black without moving that rook pawn cause it's actually quite a mess if you don't know what's happening or you let it happen

[@payton188]

Stalemates really confuse me for some reason…like it’s super hard for me to spot a stalemate which is weird because they should be simple to see and understand. So at the end of the first game you said it would be stalemate if they didn’t have the option to move their other pawns…how would it be stale mate? You are checking the king and the king couldn’t take or move. Shouldn’t that be checkmate even if the pawns were stuck?

[@yejemoleg9821]

bro what time do you play i wanna play with you, i am 900 i want you to dismantle me and tell me how you did it

[@ChinonsoObinna-vl7rt]

😂😂😂

[@fighter0707]

Hello, Just wanted to drop by and say how are you doing ? As always love watching these series! :)

[@mareezy]

8:15 what if instead of moving his black rook there, he moved his d pawn up one. Traded pawns and ate his pawn with check and then brought light squared pawn to skewer White's queen and rook? 😊

[@learningisfun2108]

Good idea, but black doesn’t have to capture your pawn (if you take, that pawn can be easily captured later). Also, black doesn’t have to move his king when checked with the queen, and thus can avoid the skewer. He could block with queen, the you just get a queen trade.

[@mareezy]

@@learningisfun2108 ohhhhh! Good point, ty!

[@sesagaming7348]

Nelson, can you play the Latvian gambit at some point please?

[@benashley2556]

Not sure how you kept that pawn at 14:55. Seems a little suspicious.

[@ChessKing999-YT]

What means rice in the stats????

[@phoenix402]

amount of cheaters encountered. it is a reference to his previous rating climb where a cheating opponent's friend defended them by saying the cheater was cooking rice, thus making their time usage seem odd. it being such a strange claim turned it into a bit of an inside joke on this channel.

[@ChessKing999-YT]

[@Ryland-tu6pj]

What if I’m the one doing the opening traps then my enemies will not fall for it😭

[@belue2429]

Nelson calculates so fast and so accurate. Imagine what’s going through his brain that he can’t get out in words, I’m sure a ton!

[@sh0ker]

30:30 white almost have pawn e7 here. If the king was not defending the rook, this would be very scary, but I guess that would also be just simple back rank checkmate

[@hhhhhhhhhhhhh566]
