Guide To Making Plans In Chess - Queen's Gambit Declined Plans (PART 1)

[@JonathanMandrake]

Since I generally start with d4, I've recently been experimenting with setups other than the London, starting with whether I follow up with Bf4, e4, c4 or Nc3. Thanks for the lesson

[@muralidharanv9634]

Nc4 is a superhuman move

[@JonathanMandrake]

@@muralidharanv9634 Meant Nc3😂

[@T0xqc]

No offense, but I think london is the most disgusting opening. It's not that bad but london is so boring, and there isn't much fun for me playing against it or playing with it. Of course, this is my opinion and I do not begrudge you to it. Happy to hear you don't play london anymore

Awesome, been waiting for this series. Keep up the good work!

[@jonathancauley5345]

Hey Nelson! :) Two things: 1. A video about the Campomanes attack, everything about it for black 2. A video about why stockfish or the analysis graph is showing green in my game. Both of these have been emailed to you

[@Shaun_GTI]

Fantastic video! I like how you take your time explaining things and look forward to more! BTW I bought your what to learn spreadsheet - very well done 👍👍

[@vivaankohli9448]

Thank you so much for the video. This was very helpful and informative. I hope that this series continues.

[@danielyuan9862]

24:50 I think you were supposed to take on e7, and on the next move you either win the knight on d7 for free or the rook on f8 for a bishop. If you take on d7 first, the bishop on h4 is hanging and you end up down a piece.

[@adityachk2002]

Please continue this series

[@TerrorArnold]

looking forward to this series! Really useful stuff, would you consider looking at ruy lopez, ponziani & caro kann?

[@harriswong2137]

This type of content is super helpful! Would love to see more content from this series!

[@RikMaxSpeed]

Very enjoyable video. As a 1400 player, I’m so ignorant i don’t even know the extent of my ignorance, and this study really helps understand just how vast the chess domain is!

[@Peterkringle]

excellent video! I've been struggling against the queen's gambit recently so this is great.

[@Jb-ek2hs]

This video is great; all the necessary information from Naroditsky's video but more straightforward and concise. I'm guessing the video didn't get many views because of the opening choice - despite the fanfare, there have been professionals and other streamers who haven't spoken highly of the Queen's Gambit. Hope to see more of this series.

[@iiLitez]

Been watching a lot of your videos over the past month and i’ve learned so much from you I was hard stuck 400-450 for the longest that i ended up taking a 3 month break and since coming back and watching your videos i’ve slowly crept up to 650 and im consistently beating players 100-150 elo higher than me, i have a bit of confidence that i’ll actually be able to reach 1000 one day thanks to you 🙌🏽

[@y.t1670]

Keep up the good work! Hope to see you continue this series!

[@tiletapper4ever]

Another great video, it's wonderful that you're going to keep up with the series! Next you could talk about London Opening hehe

[@senegoid2672]

There is rarely any "leaving the tension" for so long at my elo.😅 But with this videos i hope i am prepared, if it does happen. Thx for your work

[@callmecarlul8904]

Eyyyy super happy you’re making this a series! The start of the most useful video catalogue for any chess player :) edit: this is so incredibly useful for anyone playing the queens gambit, hope this series continues

[@BobChess]

It's so nice opening. It tooks my opponents out of their preparation.

[@romanvercier3556]

Hey ! great video, just a question, at 12:19, if black takes back with the pawn, should we just then continue developping ?

[@tominmo8865]

Nicely done, thank you.

[@anishgirifans]

Congrats Nelsi You are back on track Keep going

[@johnybalohny]

I really liked this video, I'm glad I'm begining to learn some foundational d4 theory. I like how you repeated the lines from the begining multiple times, and explained many of the moves ideas. At a couple moments you zoomed through the moves a little too quick, and I had to rewind a few times. But overall, I like that you started with a strong mainline, and then showed a couple of it's sidelines, but they all shared some similar middlegame themes.

[@gzfloyding312]

Wonderful video - I would love to see more videos about middle game plans out of popular openings.

[@Molb0rg]

Like that format, options and focus on aspect

[@tiny_frost8]

This is absolutely amazing, thanks Nelson

[@zachhaywood1564]

I'm new to your channel, fantastic content I'm seeing so far! I'm also new to chess, do you have a series of these opening(s) ? Like a playlist possibly? You're an excellent teacher and commentator!

[@claytonbenignus4688]

Thank You for making a Strong Case for Lasker's Defense.

[@amanmalekikhajkolaee7523]

Hello what’s up Nelson thanks for making a lots of useful videos I really like them and like chess I make a puzzle by myself and I’m gonna show you what is it

[@yihjiehlee2328]

And thanks also for these chess plans! it will help me a lot.

[@ashoksafaya5397]

Certainly helping a lot Sir I would like to know shopping address of the book on opening just displayed.Thanls a lot.

[@yihjiehlee2328]

This is a very good chess opening. THANKS very much!❤

[@hishamhamed5033]

Can you also prepare a video on Lasker's defence to the QGD?

[@DavidDavid-ek3wo]

1:00 There's also e5 that can be play

[@piratenck]

As a Queen’s Gambit player, thank you! Always appreciate some more theory to put in my repertoire.

[@danielyuan9862]

As someone who struggles to play against the queen's gambit. I'll now know to not play the Tartakower variation.

[@dragonman1265]

I’m only 800 but I needed an opening for white and I decided on the queen’s gambit, so this video was not just very helpful but also very well timed

[@michaelowino228]

Good video.

[@dockproduction9831]

Broooooooo thank for the video ❤ can I ask you for another video against bot too? I finally beated li just after watching you playin against her, but I’m stuck at noam ahah che you show us how to beat him? ❤

[@reshmadesarkar6880]

I like this video

[@trutty]

Nelson, I have a random question. What the heck am I supposed to do with my light square bishop when I use the French defense? I feel like I waste the piece

[@ChessVibesOfficial]

Bd7 and wait patiently. Usually you just focus on pressure on d4 and e5 and don't worry about that bishop til way later.

Thank you so much

[@yigityasl2060]

please do quenns gambit accepted

[@adritomukherjee9068]

This video was very informational nelson! I request u to make a video on accelerated dragon at some point! cheers!!! (also hoping to get a heart)

[@mingchanggamer3702]

What other purpose does the queen’s gambit have other than controlling the center

[@skil1ed_2011]

I have a challenge for you to beat martin or other bots with this: Side chess- Easy: Every piece of yours in the kingside can only stay in the kingside and same goes for all queen side pieces Normal: 1/4th of the pieces on 1/4th of the board can only stay in the 1/4th area and same goes for 2/4th, 3/4th, 4/4th of the pieces on the board. Hard: Same thing as 1/4th except it is 1/8th now.

[@darslandr]

More please as same style, thanks

[@joshm.6191]

Damn i can’t believe this was posted today i was immediately like where’s part 2

[@adnanghaleb2196]

thanks

[@NyamandaUkwaju]

Very intuitive Request: Lasker variation Request: Bf4

[@mostefa9270]

Make pirc defence plans

[@mrk8212]

should you always trade a bishop for a rook? I know the rook is worth more but it doesn't seem like it would be automatic like this demo was advocating

[@iang0th]

You would need a specific reason for that to be a good trade. It's rare enough that trading a rook for a knight or bishop is called an "exchange sacrifice."

[@skil1ed_2011]

Do this challenge to beat martin or other bots: Paralysed chess: The board is divided in 4 parts. Each of your pieces that are in the first part has to move for the first move. On the second move the second part of the board can move only. Same goes for third and fourth part. The pieces of the part you have to move can jump from the first part to the other parts if needed. If say your queen is attacked on the third part but you are currently on the second part you are not allowed to move your queen to safety. The first part can be the a and b file, second is the c and d, third is e and f and fourth is g and h. Good luck!

[@BL-vs4cd]

For sure saving this one for when I reach 1600

[@Youarepeter]

POV: The video just dropped but you can't think of anything to comment

[@paul_warner]

Shut up

[@melgibsonafter5beers626]

Sometimes I poop

[@colinbusby1370]

Challenge play against Martin but you spin a wheel and give Martin 8 of those pieces so spin pawn add eight pawns for Martin and same for all other pieces (place the 8 pieces in front of all the pawns

[@Griot19]

Do you think Hikaru’s idea was prioritizing an active king in the endgame over doubled pawns?

[@darrylkassle361]

Everyone below 1500 always goes on about needing to have plans explained and Nelson does it and over 5 days it's only got 11 K views. Gee I really thought a video like this would have 50 K views after 5 days. I suppose and hope I have spoken too soon and it gains momentum in the next week or so

@Sonic_E_R how old are you?

@Sonic_E_R well you act like a 12 - 5 year old so you better hope that you are not

@Sonic_E_R fighting someone over who commented first and having comebacks like: "nope you are" and "older than you" , isnt a behaviour of someone over 12 all i am saying
