I totally understand you can't always make longer videos and I hope you can always just keep doing what your best at because this is fine for me too.

[@G-chess_channel]

Even a single chess game has endless learning opportunities.

[@Sommers27]

Always love you humility and your willingness to say "Oh wow I missed that one" or "Ah, my calculation was a little off". It makes someone who is around 1200 happy to know that little things do still go wrong for the big players. Thank you for this series you're amazing for doing this!

[@rojavida]

12:22 isn’t Qxe7 mate here? Thoroughly enjoying this series, Nelson. Stay sharp!

[@hralyb3513]

yeah it is I was literally shouting to a screen :D

[@nadirdjeniah2442]

​@@hralyb3513you're not the only one lol

[@chucktowne]

i was about to mention it but i see you got to it first.

[@oldsuitman7762]

I saw it too, my rating in toilet

[@RobBCactive]

Me too! Nelsi was set on cashing in on trapping pieces, explaining how f6 is dodgy and forgot to look for a better candidate move. At 12:52 when "K hunting" he also missed the Bxd6 Kxd6 Qb8# he found on his next move. It's a problem with these 10m no increment games, fear of losing on time in a winning endgame stops analysis of likely tactical possibilities.

[@garyarnold3141]

I'm really enjoying this series and learning a lot. This is the best rating climb series I've seen recently. The small changes as you increase elo are fascinating.

[@domc3743]

Missed mate in 1 at 12:18

[@luggnderspasst8617]

No

[@luggnderspasst8617]

King d8

[@joeyhallmusic]

No, he’s right. Qxe7 is mate. Look again.

[@slimon657]

Thank you for making a longer vid! Always enjoy these ones, but they are always really good

[@army1057]

His vids are so helpful and entertainment Even when I am playing, I'm being destroyed.

[@aravjha9541]

After watching your games I went on a 8 game no loss streak (with the exception of one 10 minute rapid game) thanks to you. I really appreciate your videos, and I hope you keep posting them.

[@gaurav210]

ur elo?

[@misterunknown8923]

" I wonder if there's a checkmate for me here... " Well, you missed a mate in one a couple of moves earlier lol. If there's a mate in one, just grab a bishop. 😅

[@danielyuan9862]

That reminds me of an OTB game I had where I took a bishop instead of mate in one 😂. I still won that game.

[@misterunknown8923]

@@danielyuan9862 It's always nice to torture your opponent 😅

[@skakdosmer]

In the first game you missed a mate-in-one! Spoiler: Instead of taking the Bishop on h8 you could've played Qxe7++

[@bam38]

Yep Qxe7#

[@tylerbrown4483]

You mentioned Levy’s openings. I swear that dude plays openings like a 2700 and then shits is pants and forgets how the pieces move when he gets nervous in the middle game.

[@arrowofkira5658]

a6 is a great idea! It reminds me of all the queen traps when you have a poisoned pawn on g2 and b2 or mirrored on g7 and b7 and you push the flankpawn one square first so when they take the poisoned pawn and you attack the queen she can't dodge the attack by moving to the square where you pushed the flankpawn since the file is no longer blocked off by your own pawn. She can just get taken by the rook

[@TuberTugger]

12:20 - mate.

[@sleepmind9292]

Dude

[@okkatan4497]

In many ways I find this speedrun more educational than something from Levi or even Naroditsky because the tactics are easier to see and wr get to see actual blunders that could cost the game, but also seeing that not everyone will identify such blunders. Nice work it's great learning from this channel!

[@djbiggorgeous8343]

I’m 54 years young and have zero patience. I love chess and I’m not so great at it. However, after watching your videos, I’m playing is MUCH improved. I’m winning about 15-20% more games and I’m getting better. I’m not a Diamond member yet but soon. My IMPROVED record: 50-38-3. Thanks for the help.

[@Gwennbleidd_Chess]

I started to watch your speedrun when I was 1027 and this account was also 1027. Now I'm 1260, trying to be ahead of you :)

[@Demon_Aura]

Thank you for the longer videos.

[@roshandoge9468]

12:20 missed a checkmate brush queen to e7 is mate

[@misterunknown8923]

And a couple of moves later wondering if there's a checkmate, lol

[@robertbrandywine]

"The plan is to make good moves". Damn, that's what I've been doing wrong, lol.

[@KaymanmerchcraftMerchantsmart]

Chess games are enjoyable and glad I learned about the tempo gain strategy 🎉

[@mythbusters866]

33:30 Best parts Nelson, you play ?? moves.

[@bam38]

Hey Nelson play bongcloud attack in the next video for fun :) 😂

[@josephsalmonte4995]

There's nothing fun about it. It's just a crap opening that you sheep all fawn over.

[@turtleng8973]

That was an amazing force checkmate! I can’t believe you say it from so far away with 25 seconds!

[@joecatalan]

20:25 yo I think you could’ve played b5 because if queen takes then c6 and you attack the queen and threaten knight c2 and if pawn takes b5 then knight c2. Btw maybe c6 is better idk but I just noticed that.

[@zedits-]

Bro don't stop making videos love ur vids

[@scoutbane1651]

Nelson, you're basically the only chess content creator I still watch, and thanks to your teaching I beat a 2200 lichess blitz rated player (equivalent to about 2100 chesscom blitz)! He berserked so technically not "completely" fair, but 5min vs 2.5 odds is good enough for me. I was technically losing for most of the game, but I played a very nice bishop sacrifice and because they didn't play the only move that kept advantage, I got a winning position (they played second best move, went to -1 from +4), forcing them to burn all their time to defend against a brutal attack, and then I just flagged them. I could even have won "fairly" if I spotted a rook infiltration (I would literally have won their queen), but I was also running short on time and saw playing for a flag is probably the safer option because I didn't spot that move. Thank you so much for these!

[@mariuszpudzianowski8400]

Nah, people berserker on their own risk, he judged that he can win with half the time but he was wrong. You beat him fair and square and he knows that.

[@realmahadeo]

can you send a link to the game you are talking about?

[@scottyoung2601]

Great content Nelson.

[@kirkmason7079]

Good lesson. The a6 move in second game allowing rook to checkmate is good to know about sacrificing a pawn for victory.

[@blxckeye8593]

IKR

[@itexsoo]

13:27 if u check with bishop and he take it's mate in 1

[@ThatGuateKid]

Nelson, please don't play with my feelings like that. I thought you had lost a game 😂

[@MrAlanfalk73]

You are one of the best teatchers on Chess here on youtube. By the way, do you eat fresh garlic? That is amazing for your health. Also drink one glass of water before you go to bed and two glasses as soon as you wake, it helps prevent blot cloths .

[@Peterkringle]

35 minutes is great length for these videos if you’re able! Love the content either way!

[@ethancollingwood3234]

Keep up the good content, Nelson. Can I put in a request for the Wing Gambit on the next Sicilian?

[@haydenshearer9402]

Loved that last game! So fun

[@senthamizh10]

I freaking love this series

[@haroonibrahim2620]

I can't believe I saw that mate in one and you missed it. Made my day. 😅😅

[@Shaun_GTI]

Damn I wish I could see trades that fast.... Any pointers for an 800 to get better board vision?

[@kaifuegoff]

Nelson didn't saw checkmate in 1.... In first game

[@timm439]

26:00 Long castle so you can still defend the queen, and if they don't take, you get a knight and a rook!

[@haydenshearer9402]

Hey Love your videos! At 20 mins you could have sacrificed a pawn on B2 blocking the check from the queen-forcing a move- Then you could’ve played horsie to C2 taking the rooooooooook :)

[@ronduprey5803]

You're around my range now. When do you play usually? Maybe we will get matched up!

[@xy2319]

Missed M1 at 12:21 😭

[@joelwitick]

The first game - queen to e7 is chekmate.. why did you take the bishop insted ?

[@nostalgicG]

Why did you not show the full game review?

[@chiefyn1]

I have a question about your use of tools like zto kfish

[@modemuffel9911]

Wow two awesome games

[@thefingerling167]

i think at 11:00 you had a queen trap woth Nc6 but idk

[@McLKeith]

Nelson is doing his Levy impressions in his thumbnails.

[@severedthumb4841]

22:56 why couldn’t you take e4? If Knight takes bishop after taking e4, don’t you have a fork with the king and rook after pushing pawn to d2?

[@alexalters1861]

At 12:20 isnt queen e7 just checkmate? Am i missing something?

[@NoobNormalGuy]

Do you think you should change Peter-Patzer now to Average Joe?

[@DanielSong39]

Maybe once he hits 1400

[@DanielSong39]

Maybe he can ask Hikaru or Magnus to take over the account once he hits 2200 and see if it reaches Bobby Fischerman levels

[@NoobNormalGuy]

@@DanielSong39 xd

[@ChessCubeStrategies]

You missed mate in the first game after d6

[@hralyb3513]

22:14 cant you play Bxe4 because after Nxe4 you have follow up fork d2?

[@rojavida]

I don’t think that works because the pawn can be taken by either the knight which has just vacated that square or by the Bishop on f4.

[@hralyb3513]

@@rojavida oh I see, I am just blind dumb :D

[@mariuszpudzianowski8400]

The whole point of putting your c pawn there in Sicilian is to take d pawn, yet people come up with new "variations" when they don't do that.

[@WILLILAM]

12:21 Qe7# miss

[@nextuality4371]

Great series 💯🔥

[@mathpphotos]

Can you play queen's gambit please? Thank you for your videos!😊

[@user-qg7wu3xn6u]

i write this comment before i start watching this video got to tell u nelson dont rly care about guys who want smaller video... if they cant see the whole video at once just pause it and continue later wtf... i ve done it dozen of times cuz i had somewhere to go or sth to do etc etc...lately i ve gotten new job and only thing i ve been watching with the exception of the last days were ur videos... then it was sleep or go out with friends... i dont need smaller videos :P and if some1 does they can always watch it in time...

[@mythbusters866]

12:19 Qxe7# Qxh8? Is mistake move

[@CSmith-hx2pm]

Great video but I prefer your regular thumbnails. I’d really like if you didn’t start having Gothamesque thumbnails haha That said thanks for the video! Appreciate the long form content : )

[@pickaxe4248]

33:33 why is Rxf3 a blunder

[@musicaspiringto]

11:21 Why couldn't black play E5, blocking the attack on the bishop, and attacking the bishop at the same time, leaving the knight and the bishop hanging, if white takes takes the rook, they take the bishop, and that knight is getting won, being trapped, and black gets a bishop and a knight for a rook and 1 pawn?

[@FuturePast2019]

Why isn't it Mate at 31:00 . The time counts down still

[@IvoB1987]

The rook wasn't moved to a8 yet. It was just pre-move of Nelson

[@VagabondQ8]

12:20 isn't Qe7 is just a checkmate ?

[@josephsalmonte4995]

I love the explanations of your whole thought process. It helps loads, thanks 🙏

[@oleksiikharkov1816]

Checkmate on 12:22 ?

[@Alex-343]

didnt you miss mate in 1, queen to e7??

[@aspidhameleon3955]

9:10 why f6 instead f5

[@mdsalimazad8563]

How did you lose 20 games playing as Peter-patzer ?

[@jamesmandla1192]

The account started with 20 losses to get it down to 200 elo. He’s on like a 150 win streak right now

[@mdsalimazad8563]

Oh

[@mythbusters866]

7:22 I am thinking verry idiots idea. Qh5 g6 Qf3 Qf6 Qxf6 exf6 Nc6+ but that is not work.
