Chess Master Explains Thought Process (Blitz On Chess.com)

[@PapaRich3165]

Missed the poll but definitely prefer rapid over blitz. Always great to see though. :-)

[@larryhalllith1179]

I think there's more to learn from 10 min games vs 5 min games.

[@ashleyharris4114]

Ofc there is, but Blitz can still be useful. However one could also argue that one cannot learn as much from Rapid as they can from Classical.

[@larryhalllith1179]

Yes, I agree. Thanks.

[@WaldoWizard]

yeah those 5 min games are so fast there's little thought process to share . And Nelson's always running out of time anyway 😆

[@michaelmoe8656]

Blitz, and even more so bullet, exposes what I think is essentially move biases since you work more off gut reactions. By learning those biases and checking them against engine moves, you can develop a better instinct for good moves, while longer games train calculating more. Both calculation and instinctual play seem valuable, so working on both makes sense to me.

[@toothlessrpm6177]

@@ashleyharris4114and one can also argue that you can learn more from daily than classical. Too far 🤔 😂

[@wirelessdepotmd4387]

i didn't know that Nelson can play blitz that good! great job!

[@jayvaibhawverma]

Well played, Nelson. Watched the entire stream live for the first time.

[@danbarkles8499]

Rage quitting like that is a baby move. You're twice as much of a loser if you do that. Also Nelson you should play against the guy that does chess dawg.

[@konroh2]

That would be interesting. I think that guy is pretty strong.

[@wirelessdepotmd4387]

i like both! the funny part is in 5 min games you still somehow finding time to explain moves and joke :)

[@mistyshadow100]

Don't know if it's actually him but Jack Wilshere is a very famous retired footballer. Just a side note

[@Aman3716]

I reckon it is. If Jack at 19 has the game intelligence to boss Xavi, Iniesta and Busquets in their prime then a board game should be no problem for him.

[@ajcaleb28]

Love that he played the London too 😂

[@konroh2]

The game at the 2 hour mark against JackWilshare was amazing. Was watching while putting moves on the analysis board at lichess. Nelson had an advantage most of the time but Jack had an amazing Bxf7 infiltration that would have won the game. As it was in the end Nelson could have kept it even, not falling for M2. There's always a resource.

[@stereomike75]

The game that starts at 38 minutes - you didn't follow your own rule about getting the king to safety early, plus you played the whole game without bringing either rook into the action.

[@jasonsiebold]

Yes to heart rate monitor. And 10 is better than 5 I think for learning.

[@loveistheanswer5924]

I dont like blitz. Longer games like 30 or 60 minutes are better because you have time to think! 🙂

[@PapaRich3165]

Hr monitor + treadmill gambit. 😅

[@xc3ptiona1]

A heart rate monitor! Hang up some metaphorical Christmas lights, glam up the content. 🤜🤛

[@danamiller1192]

34:48 im like isnt rook b8 the best move even though its still a worse postion

[@CastleLateOrNever]

Arena tournaments please so we get a rating range!

[@Kelly-i5z9g]

A rage quit. lol I get those more than you should.

[@CanadianMaple05]

Please do a heart rate monitor! And 10 is better than 5. I often wish you played 10+5 even, so that you always have enough time closer to the end of the game.

[@mareezy]

Great idea on HR monitor!

[@tomhepner5118]

How do I find and watch the games live? I joined Stalematers but still can't find the way in. 😕

[@breedingpitmetal]

1:20:01 2500 rated player misses a completely free rook just straight up hanging. Blitzchess is WILD.

[@WaldoWizard]

heart rate monitor ... wow .. and you can get on your walking machine too . Full coverage

[@mareezy]

Where's the super quick Halloween Gambit game? I can't find it

[@asztapaszta9]

Lol, Reyenllamas is 1164 at puzzles - i guess he is just a natural who doesnt need tactics...

[@lordelk]

Did u know you can finish abandoned games using the bots. Then we can see how it plays out.

[@wirelessdepotmd4387]

so you was struggling with 10 mins format (because you were explaining your plans the half of the time) and now you decide to try 5 min? :) smart

[@hannesmuller6994]

please get a heart rate tracker🙏

[@govindsinghtomar2516]

Pls play one match against Gotham chess that's requeste from my side plz ....

[@garvingray]

And still wanting Nelson to enter a Swiss tournament, not Arena

[@WaldoWizard]

he should change his name from maxichess to Maxipad 😅

[@josie42]

ohhh because girls are emotional and emotions = weakness. that is a very funny joke.

[@kidopants]

Heart rate monitor would be interesting

[@garvingray]

I was hoping for 3 mins plus 2 secs per move

[@Omariesht]

Hey Nelson, do you know any idea how to overcome the fear of losing elo ? Because it became a wall to me from practicing the knowledge i got Every time i need to think about clicking new game button my body gets shaking then i close the app i don't fear of losing in general, i fear of seeing my elo decrease after 20 minutes of thinking

[@AmarParadvaz]

Likewise here.

[@AnanyaKumarNayak]

First play one two unrated game after that play rated one 😊

[@mojangfuel6907]

Yuup heart rate monitor would be soo cool

[@giridharpavan1592]

rice cooking all the time

[@GoldenBoyXCM]

pls dont get a heartrate monitor, i dont watch eric just because of that

Why?

[@FreedomSalam]

a heart rate monitor is great. What about a lie detector monitor for rice cookers hhh

[@funtimese5oq]

Cheating is so common nowadays 😮

[@funtimese5oq]

Play rapid not blitz please

[@Kelly-i5z9g]

It is a good idea.
