Even though they lost pretty fast, most of them didn't make big one or two move blunders, instead there where insane several move tactics from the winning side

[@ChessJourneyman]

If you don't count the mate in 1 blunders.

There was also mate in 1 blundered.

Dude I'm dyslexic so I have trouble with the files the numbers and letters and also struggle reading so I can't remember what each opening is or defence is. I'm self taught and when I was a kid I was told I was good at chess. Love the damn game. But now I found ur channel u have taught me so much in such a small time I am starting to kick ass again. Cos I taught a few ppl back in the day and they ended up feeding my ass to me cos I could not read or remember stuff but ur channel wow has opened my eyes and gave me a new life in chess as I have not played in 7 years but because of ur channel I can see where I was going wrong in a few games so thank you very much one love merry Christmas and a very Happy New year.

6:44 the GM missed that probably because the GM was focusing on the corner of the board and did not notice the bishop on a3

[@alexanderxyz6146]

selfnote 10:20 ... looks complicated 🙂 but you gave some tips on when black got weaker that I will look at.

[@darrylkassle361]

One thing I noticed in the second game is 2478 looks like an eternity away from 2645 despite it only being 167 points difference yet if you saw a 900 - 1067 it seems like a step away!!!!

[@calencrawford2195]

wow, thats true!

[@kooldudematt1]

3:00 Interesting, the more efficient checkmate for white would be Ng8 which would force black into the Nxd4 position but then this time, g8 would be occupied by white with it also being white's turn, the game would then be ended with the noted Bf6#. Granted, it's just one move off and very similar-the difference being Ng8 instead of Ng4. Ng4 made no sense here though!

[@lucarey2950]

What are you talking about? Ng8 blunders a queen with Nxd4, and if Bf6+, the just take the knight on g8.

[@jsteel89]

5:00 "if you said Qh5+ you would be wrong" no doubt

[@sanfarhat9059]

Lol after qh5 black can play pawn f6 and survivre the checkmate.

[@bugoobiga]

the first one is insane, the bishop and knight trade places in both mate variations

[@aperson3787]

7:15 the one time i ever got them to take on e5 then i mouseslipped and hung my queen for free instead of getting the better position and that was so frustrating

Hey Nelson, what’s your course about?

[@peterkatulin8399]

11:46 In this position, instead of kgiht check I think i got a move that also wins just as beautifully. Qe8+ immeditely! ...kf6 Bxe5+ Kxe5 and its mate in 10 ...kxd6 O-O-O+ (Kc7 Bxe5+ Bd6 Qe5+ Kb8 and black loses significant material AND gets mated, the e5 knight is pinned so the only other move would be Nd3+ Rxd3+ and Black loses material of gets mated.) its a bit more complicated than the mate in 4 presented in the video but I just wanted to include that for the O-O-O+ move :) although after Nfd7 which was a horrible blunder then Nxc5 which was also a horrible blunder i guess anything wins.

[@TheAngelOfDeath01]

Those are some crazy-ass funky games. That Karjakin loss... this guy was in the World Chess Championship Final against Carlsen some years back! o_o;;

[@jeremybrown5239]

The only quick mate that I ever fell for was the scholars mate

[@student99bg]

I played many attacks in the London where I lift the rook to f3 and then sacrifice the bishop on h7, this was very similar except rook lift wasn't necessary.

[@jeroendelaere7074]

11:51 After Nd5 you should explain why white doesn't take the queen but should play Bxe5 Kxe5 Qf4 # in the case that after Nd5 black takes on d6 with the king

[@fsf471]

The third one was just a blunder. But like a HUGE blunder 💀💀💀

[@DoWIIReplay]

Just a headsup - I'm not a chess player, just watching these for fun. But at 4:58 isn't it better to move bishop to H7? King can't take it so he has to move to H8. Move Bishop to G8 and the rook pressures the King. Only the black bishop can block it by moving to H4, so if white moves his queen to H5, that should be a checkmate without trading any of your pieces.

[@thechesschief7048]

That’s what I was thinking

[@brucelittleboy3594]

Btw, it's Andreikin (2683) - Karjakin (2760), Moscow 2010, 1-0 in 10 moves; Grachev (2645) - Goryachkina (2478), Sochi RUS 2017, 1-0 in 14 moves; and so on. You've switched the names around. The convention is to list the players, White first. It's odd to list Black first, merely because Black is on top of the screen. Entertaining games though, and what surprises me is that these motifs often recur as though a player was unaware of them.

[@rosiefay7283]

It is indeed Andreikin - Karjakin (the White player first) in running text. However, what Nelson displayed on screen was not running text, but two labels, one above the other. The higher one was the Black player and the lower one was the White player. This is like two items in a menu. You are meant to read them not together as one text, but separately.

[@brucelittleboy3594]

@@rosiefay7283 Thank you for explaining how this unfortunate layout came about. I'm disappointed that Nelson didn't respond. Ambiguity would be removed if the label for Black was higher up the board, e.g. Agadmator: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gmKbd3iAbJp_nJY. Nelson's labels are in the middle of the remaining display (Agamator separates the names with their photos, and puts them on the left where there's space and his face on the other side).

[@brucelittleboy3594]

​@@rosiefay7283 Thanks for taking the trouble to make the distinction between a label and running text. I think that 'vs' turns it into running text, and the labels are too centred and close to clearly be seen as labelling each side of the board. Nelson could simply add the colour beside the player's name, and delete 'vs'. Karajakin (2760) : Black Andreikin (2683): White Agamator's layout is much clearer, the name of the Black player is far higher up the board, and is a clear label in a sensible place. I hope that these replies catch Nelson's eye.

[@adriandurlej9266]

yup you got it. only move that saves black. However after rook takes and queen takes back... white is up like +7? feeels bad LOL especially at high level. However if white messes up and doesnt take with rook right away, blacks chances improve with good play.
