I really love when opponent play something and you repeat the move by saying "oooh! KC6!" It clearly shows so many brilliant ideas immediately pops up in your mind while lower rating players like me are thinking about some blundering moves😅. .you really thought us how to think!! THANK YOU!!!

[@Promptshot]

Thanks for all the help man, I have climbed from 450 to almost 1200 and your videos have been extremely helpful. My goal is 1500!

[@hb8mk226]

i’m currently dancing around 700 elo, i’ve been stuck here for a while and only recently actually put in the effort to improve, can you help me hit my 1000 goal?

[@Promptshot]

@@hb8mk226 i can take a look man, but the main thing that helped me improve is playing a lot, analyzing each game after, and doing a lot of puzzles and also watching better players alot. By brute forcing games and puzzles ive sub consciously picked up on patterns and tactics that I used to not see, now they come to me without really thinking. Before I thought I would never pick up on these patterns. When I say a lot, I have done thousands of puzzles and played thousands of games. Also I know this sounds counter intuitive, but every once in a while give yourself a day or 2 break from playing chess and just watching chess related content. When you come back it feels like you leveled up.

[@smalism]

@@hb8mk226 The best way to break the 1000 barrier is to stop blundering, and to stop missing opponents blunders. Get 0 blunders every game and you'll reach 1000 in no time

This series is my favorite so far among all the chess content series out there ❤

If you like this one, he has another rating climb video from about a year ago - well worth watching to see Peter Patzer advance from a newb to a Chess God.

[@fabianruiz2478]

In 24:50 you could’ve let him take the pawn and move something else. Because if he takes the pawn you can pin his knight to the king with Re1 and he has no what of defending the knight other than with f5 but THEN you play f3 threatening the knight with the pawn and he can’t move it. Clever little trap I found. Respect always bro 🙌🏽

[@Falen-P]

That first game opponent was probably licking his lips thinking he about to four move checkmate then the tables turn

[@paultharp4626]

Not sure everything was on the up and up in that game.. played like an 1800, then when advances were thwarted, turned into a 600

[@keithroragen2218]

I just played my best game ever with an accuracy of 94.4 and your videos are a large part of enabling me to do that. Thanks.

A great example of my chesscoaches saying, Its not the pieces that LEAVES the board that's important but the pieces that's still LEFT on It.

Yeah, like with others after the 3 minute mark they start going overdrive talking fast and not showing what they are talking about. Much much prefer your style. Very helpful. Liked and subscribed.

[@GOC_GlobalOccultCoalition]

In the second game the opponent has less time than Nelson 🤯

[@borisslager1906]

The one thing that surprises me is that none of your opponents abort or take 7 minutes off the clock after the game is basically over. It happens to me all the time

Indeed, i guess nobody want to loose rating

This is why I stopped playing.

lol it happens to me too. i just turn on some music or come watch one of these videos. He has some from a year ago where he did the ratings climb back then. Sadistic Tushi is also a pretty fun channel to watch, and I 'd love to see a colab between him and Nelson. The inside the minds of the different chess players are always good too.

Would love a Haxo/Scotch Gambit, your vids on them got me into playing them! EDIT: wow I commented this before finishing the video and you transposed into Haxo from Guicco Piano. Awesome stuff

[@thaiexodus2916]

Suggestion in keeping with the video. The general rule is the player that thinks father ahead is the winner. This is well reflected in your video, your opponent is making opportunity moves without any considering options of other permutations. Now we have the extreme other end of the spectrum an active player today, Carlsen. When he does his in game analysis he often demonstrates considering multiple alternative moves and thinks them through, each and every possible alternative, often 5 or more moves deep - and is able to remember them, building alternate play scenarios in his mind. This is why he's so incredibly powerful at blitz and bullet games. And why come the end game he's an unholy terror. He's already played out every possible scenario. The entire point being for

I am new to chess and ive learned a lot just by watching your videos. Thank you!

[@yissssss]

I actually found people around 800-900 do that a lot. If they are in a bad position they will just randomly yeet a bishop or knight at your king pawns.

[@mikeanderson9266]

Thanks excellent instructions....11:09 Mark moving the Black King to E8 seemed best to me and chess-bot agreed. Thoughts?

[@shadeburst]

With Busch-Gass you MUST play 2...nf6 to prevent the queen coming in. The odds that White will take the undefended pawn are also much higher, allowing you to play the gambit.

[@remcovanhartevelt588]

2:25 perhaps start of with Bxf3+ and see where things go, if they take with the king you have Qf6+ so that would be okey

[@calcustom5026]

@31:38 wouldn't taking with the knight make for a faster end game?

[@davidrigby-yo9zh]

At about 5:00, the white Q is close to being trapped. Would that be a better focus?

[@realmcraftchronicles]

[@michaelmeenaghan8559]

Well explained, thank you.

[@Lucidvein]

I'm only a 1200 rated player but at 7:30 I would have taken the knight with my knight instead because im getting a trade in which is good to do while ahead, knowing i have his rook won?

[@Lucidvein]

Also the knight ends up in the corner to trap the rook which is a very limited place for it.. or if i capture with the queen I lose the knight to their king

[@ruchitpandey9376]

“Pawns don’t go backwards” thats the logo for my T-shirt

[@nwadikemayowa4298]

Hi, in the second game, could you have moved bishop to b5 and put the king on check and then cancel the possibility of your opponent castling before playing pawn to d3?

[@largerbucchus7rabie752]

I have a question. You moved queen to f6. Would it have been a good move for white to move Bishop to C4? My thinking was if I then move kight to F7, you take with queen, then I take with Queen and it is checkmate, or am I missing something? This was in the first game.

[@markv3541]

I got two questions. First, how do you recognize possitions where you need to take the time to analyze? Second how do you recognize the enemy threads so quickly? Is that just experience?

[@張謙-n3l]

Next time I think you can consider trying Even's Gambit against the Giuoco Piano

I really learn a lot from your videos. Climbed to 868 as a new player, but struggling to break 900.

[@ex-cringemaxxer]

in my opinion, when you get to the range of 700-1200elo thats when you should start memorizing as much opening theory as possible, but don't rush or you'll make no progress.. i couldnt pass 900elo until i started slowly memorizing as much openings and variations as i can, and imprinting them in my memory, i still have so much to learn and memorize, though

Can you please play sicilian defense najdorf variation

Sorry, at 11:37 you can give check the white king with Qc2 then check again with Bb4.

[@Farren246]

Bg5 in the last game, forcing the Queen to passively sit on g6, was definitely the best move...

[@kanonenfutter8433]

19:17 if you go to C5 and he takes the pawn wouldn't that be a family fork?

[@danielyuan9862]

Yes, which is why you don't assume he takes the pawn in that position

[@abhisheka6010]

How do you save your gambit (like you are saying in my list)

[@2Complex2]

32:36 Rook d3 here looks like an unstoppable mate threat to me

[@jmgerraughty]

11:13 I feel like this opponent’s downfall is their stubborn insistence on checkmating with the queen on f7. They should’ve figured out that after the first attempt, you weren’t going to fall for this crap. They’re gonna end up losing all their pieces trying to force the one checkmate pattern they know!

[@AmirulAsyraf-mq7bx]

Clear thought process but most of them are open position. Is it because of the opening? Open position feels more fun. How do I keep open position while not being restricted with certain openings?

[@mikemorr100]

31:20, take with knight, if they capture, cool you get a 7th rank rook, if they don't, you have nf6+ to win a rook

[@truongquangvinh8632]

Better than Gotham chess 10 times. ❤❤❤

@19:28 why not go b5? Looks like a free pawn until you capture on c7 forking k and q with check.

The Evan's Gambit wouldve been nice aswell in that last game :) maybe in the future? I know you have a series on it

23:58 Couldn't you have played Re1 too, pinning the bishop on e4? Yes, Black has a fork with Bxd2+, but I don't see a good followup for Black after Nxd2.

You’re very good at explaining all of the options you see from a position, why those options are available (what the opponent is trying, and what they overlooked), why you are picking one option over the others. These are amazing instructive chess videos. Thank you so much!

[@DanielWalvin]

At 13:56 you could instead have played the (I think fairly simple) tactic Rxe4, then if white captures back with his pawn, you can grab his rook, and the game is essentially over, or if he doesn't, you've infiltrated, and the game should again be over pretty quickly from that point.

[@JustACuteFox]

Saw the flag in the first and was shocked it didnt have an immediate Queen opening... ... aaaaand there it is.
