Chess Rating Climb:1400-1600 | Chess Strategy, Ideas, Concepts for Beginner and Intermediate Players

Hey Nelson, been watching your videos for a while now. I really admire the work you put into your content, as well as the design, a lot. Keep up the good work and you're gonna grow big !

[@ChessVibesOfficial]

Thanks, buddy, appreciate that! Saw a few of your videos, stick with it and seems like you'll make GM one day no doubt!

[@absolutelybagel2218]

Damn one year older than me and Fide Master while I'm at 600 😝 I'm sure you can become a GM

[@bruhifysbackup]

He now grew a lot.......

Another rating climb video, another scramble against the clock! Parkinson's law comes to mind: "the old adage that work expands to fill the time allotted. Put simply, the amount of work required adjusts to the time available for its completion." Time to add some increment to the 15 minutes 😁 Btw the stuff about what to do in a situation where many players have no idea what to do is great. Maybe you can take some time to explain and display some more tactics that can be used in those situations, in the next videos. 👍

[@ChessVibesOfficial]

Yeah...Parkinson's law is right! Looking back over the game I think I'm spending too much time talking in the opening. Probably better to just get to the middle/endgame and spend more time there. You're right, may end up going for an increment game if I can find one next time.

[@leapdavid]

Very informative to watch and hear your thought process. And I think I'm an intermediate player and tend to run out of ideas in the middle game, like you said. Likely I might have tried pushing pawns, either h7-h6 to push white's bishop back or later pawn c7-c5 (14:09). But I see those are not strong moves.

[@A03L]

you deserve more subs, keep doing these type of videos, thank you for teaching chess the right way

[@kingrex1931]

I like the way you explain your thought process, it helps weaker player (like me) know what is going on when you make moves.

[@hmeso]

I like your way of explaining, your channel is very good, thank you so much, and I wish you a lot of success in KZbin 👍👍

[@ChessVibesOfficial]

Thank you! 😃

[@JangoFatty]

Hey sorry I forgot to reply to an earlier video where I asked whether you stream. I think it could be a cool way to interact, even play with viewers if you're into that thing. I know it's tough streaming to 0 viewers but I believe there should be good crossover in your youtube following when you keep gaining traction! So maybe in the future, it could be awesome to see you on Twitch. Big fan of your videos I've been waiting for this video for a while as I'm stuck on 1400 and am self taught. Keep up the good work!!

[@ChessVibesOfficial]

Thanks for that feedback! Will definitely be on the lookout for opportunities to stream in the future, if my schedule permits. I'll update something here on youtube with details if/when that happens!

[@h-fz2184]

G'day nelson! In the first game against the 1504 you could've played the englund gambit it's way more overpowered and poisonous and It gives you quick development

[@CramcrumBrewbringer]

If white knows the line it's kinda bad in my opinion.

[@askmiller]

Your video highlights the difference between playing chess by memory and playing chess by logic. When I see players coach popular streamers, so often it seems like so much of the coaching is just drilling them on how to play an opening. It reminds me of soccer coaches for young kids where you line em all up and then once the game starts its a complete disaster where they just huddle around the ball and start kicking. Your style would actually teach people how to get good at the game first before memorizing openings.

[@beachbreakdave1]

I'm curious as why you didn't consider a rook lift, bringing your rook up to f-6 and then over to h-6? With your queen already on h-4 you'd have a heck of a lot of pressure on the pawn at h-2.If he moves up to h-3 you had your light bishop attacking that square. I should add that when it comes to producing useful videos, you're the best, bar none!

[@cablestick]

Your videos are so good. Great at explaining. Cheers Nelson

[@mariogilligan841]

Thanks Nelson; very instructive to see how you think throughout the game!

[@arkakoukos1]

You are amazing,your videos make me love and understand chess more and more day by day,keep up the good work!!

[@yeyein]

Thank you. Your explanation is like a coach and very easy to understand. 😊

[@joenelbaliguat3024]

Love the way you explain, keep it up!

[@dmytrozazulin1858]

When you were analyzing the trades around 12 min I didn't hear that if you move Kd5 and he takes your bishop, you take his knight with your knight attacking the queen, so he has to capture your night and make double pawns, and then you trade your bishop back. So you are like making trades which worsen his position

[@solomonherskowitz]

These videos are just the best man

[@tutosurexcel]

Very interesting as always !

[@ChessVibesOfficial]

Thanks!

[@drewfenton866]

I’m wondering why you didn’t play the bishop sacrifice on h3? When the pawn takes, you take back with the queen with a checkmate threat on the next move because your knight is covering g2 and it doesn’t look like he had a good way to defend that?

[@drewfenton866]

I am referring to around 16:40 when the queen and bishop were lined up on that diagonal

[@cromi4194]

I just made 1400 on chess.com for the first time. Time to learn more! Your middle game ideas video really helped me make it over the top of 1400!

[@ChessVibesOfficial]

Awesome! Keep it up!

[@raunaksemwal9211]

What's your rating now ?

[@peterfelsburk1007]

Hey, i don't really understand that fork on 20:28, i mean he can capture your knight with knight so you shouldn't win a queen

[@ChessVibesOfficial]

When I play Ne2+ it unleashes the rook on f8 which then attacks his queen, so that's why it would win the queen. Good question!

[@connerdill9940]

Great series!

[@ChessVibesOfficial]

Thanks!

[@charanko.]

nellsssoonnnnnnnn!

[@purplesun3792]

[@xWIREDOGx]

[@ReinaldosChessLessons]

Reinaldo, I got it done on fiverr by a seller named albikkk. He has lots of really cool intros. You can just choose what you want and provide logo and he'll send it to you.
