[@CarlSong]

57:30 "You can't take that because of the boom boom bam" is now my favourite line from this channel.

[@Bli-k8m]

I have no idea how you have this much patience against a rice cooker. I could barely contain my frustration as a viewer, let alone the player.

[@Fred-zt5ky]

You need to look into Stoicism. It helps you not get overwhelmed by your emotions.

[@xipleadthe5th]

Nelson “what is going on” Lopez

[@Demian_R]

"What is happening" 🤣

[@jefftaylor1186]

19:50 Ahh the Von Henning gambit. Not sure what the engine says about it now, but 25 years ago when I was learning chess and learned the caro-kann, I figured out that just playing b5 attacking the bishop, and then playing normal Chess seems to turn out just fine for the black pieces.

[@Chunes3]

The Halloween Gambit game was so fun to watch. Nice one!

[@konroh2]

The guy defended well until the end.

[@sylentknyte]

I love the Halloween gambit. It's becoming like your special anime attack.

[@awang_ir]

Somehow Nelson in "real" chess game is more fun to watch than rating climb, since he is playing challenging chess and teaching at the same time

[@chess26622]

Yes, most of 1200 rated players are too easy for him, he has almost double 1200 rating. But at his rating there are players who can actually challenge him

[@maximos905]

The downside is there are more cheaters at the higher level

[@konroh2]

Watching this makes me feel like I could be 2000, yet somehow I'm still making 1000 level mistakes.

[@Calibrownsfan]

the biggest clue that the first guy was cheating was a 2100 missing an obvious mate in 1.

[@kingsolo6241]

I believe he is a cheater for sure. But I’ve seen Magnus and Hikaru miss mate in one. That’s what humans do. That’s how you get checkmates. However missing twice in a row tells me otherwise. The first guy was definitely a cheater.

[@adamgibbs6806]

Yeah started playing for real and all of a sudden it got quick and sloppy and had to get the 2nd queen to finish the job, was obvious

[@yonishachar1887]

​@@kingsolo6241 All grandmasters make terrible blunders once in a while, as you said - we are not machines, but when strong players blunder it should be noted. The dead giveaway happened when he started moving way quicker once he had a huge material advantage.

[@ThePhilStudio]

There's also disrespectful players that will troll you and make queens just to checkmate you.

[@inwardeye]

That proves nothing. If it proves anything by missing mate in one it's "his not cheating" not computer engine will miss mate

[@rundmw]

Your exasperated admiration at Stockfish's insight is genuinely charming. 😅

[@robinverheyden8618]

Hi Nelson! Just a suggestion, why dont u put a 5 min delay on ur streams so stream snipers cant see what ur planning to move. Apart from that i just want to say that i learned a lot from ur streams and keep on going!

[@danbarkles8499]

Yeah that and also put in some commentary about the Mr. Beast controversy.

[@ethereum572]

You learn how to accuse your opponent 😅

[@robinverheyden8618]

@ethereum572 i mean 19times out of 20 when he does accuse his opponent, they actually cheating and their account gets banned. Maybe he has a good reason than. 😉

[@Aphixx]

Biggest issue (only issue?) is it breaks any communication with chat

[@Shirin-h4b]

​@@robinverheyden8618 I think he tilts too much when he loses

I read: "How I Drink During Chess Games" and thought omg he's drinking and still so good

omg 4th game against FM was amazing JEzoos! i'm proud Nelson!

[@WaldoWizard]

Amazing puzzle Nelson

[@Afr_Rookie]

I believe some of your opponents know you are streaming so they watch you live if there's no delay in your stream, that means they know what you are thinking

[@wirelessdepotmd4387]

3rd game was something! love it, cold blooded checkmate! like a GM

[@alansmithee6273]

1:17:44 Casually calling him a "rice cooker" like it's a slur. Lmao.

[@Badolasantosh]

Thank you sir

[@LipschitzHutchinson]

Everyone in the comments is talking about cheating, but no one is talking about just how crazy 56:22 is!

[@FlapjackMcGee]

That whole line was amazing!

[@marceloschwartzmann6251]

"I wish I could play like Stockfish sometimes." You're not alone, my friend! 😂

[@TorstenPull]

The rice coker is 1074 in puzzles. ;-)

[@valterhilden7219]

You had a chance to take the bishop with your pawn but didn't, just one more move, and that's why you lost. The bishop took your pawn instead, and that one pawn difference allowed him to get a queen in the end. Maybe that's one basic principle one must consider: whenever you can take a piece with a pawn, do it. If you keep lingering there's always the possibility that the other side will sacrifice the piece to capture the pawn.

[@JBugz777]

"Rice-Cooker" lol... Haven't heard that 1

[@Bahle_Gaji]

Based on one of his past experiences dealing with a cheater. They said their delay to play was because they were turning on their rice cooker. Next thing you know they are playing perfect moves when they weren’t prior 🥲

[@JBugz777]

[@Bahle_Gaji]

@@al87221 that would not have been very nice 😂

[@FlapjackMcGee]

If you want to watch the video that gives context, look up the Chess Vibes "We need to talk about this" from the rating climb a year ago.

[@wirelessdepotmd4387]

finally! i missed! watched all old videos lol :)

[@TimSchmelter]

Time usage in a single move is not an evidence for rice cooking. There could be several reasons for a move delay, like he was actually eating rice or had to talk with someone in the background. Also, sometimes im thinking about the next move even if the current is already obvious, that's a time waste of course and maybe one of the reasons why im losing so often on time 😅

[@chess26622]

But if they actually cook rice or talking to someone, then they must be distracted, and can't play ideal moves to beat an NM, right?

[@TimSchmelter]

@chess You can be distracted during the easy move and then have time again

[@chess26622]

@@TimSchmelter or... you can simply turn on your Stockfish, and beat any GM who dares to challenge you

[@deeteenw]

tbh I would have thought about taking the bishop too because of the obvious queen follow up. And I also would have moved the king to f6 because it avoids the next queen check and so gains time to bring the rook in. And I'm just a 900something.

[@mikemck4796]

My guess is he views the time used by 900’s differently. If you notice, there’s a bunch of stuff you consider that’s bad Nelson never does, because at his level, certain things become much more obvious.

[@kylegaidos7688]

That's his point. You, as a 900 would think about that. 2100 would not think about that. 900 ELO is in maybe the 40th percentile, while 2100 is probably somewhere around 95th.. completely different view of the game.

[@linardsdavletsins69]

Yeah I'm not at that level also but his move looked quite normal, as open rook and get tempo on queen and also you always considering take bishops or not as most of cases it's a trap or you don't see a fallow. But I really can't know of he was cheating or no. But seemed was fine for me . But I'm not a expert 😂 just saying my thoughts. Peace and absolutely love your streams

[@sabiotiopablo5787]

hey nelson. just wanted to say that those red borders on the thumbnail are not so great cause they can make you think you already watched the vid. keep up the good work love the vids

[@asztapaszta9]

"Live chat replay is not available for this video." Why though? I always like to run it while i watch

[@konroh2]

I think because it's recorded now.

[@QDWhite]

I’m 1100 and my win rate with the Halloween gambit is 70%

Who is the author of this wonderful chess puzzle ?

[@spadecardmagic]

Nelson, what screen recording software do you use?

[@MikhaillllKing]

i'm pretty sure it's OBS

[@ryzenjmeg]

can you make a short video showing the summary of cheating reports you did and the result of the report?

[@giridharpavan1592]

allright indeed

[@msg63bretired82]

I try thinking in Nelson's voice when I play but it doesn't work 😂

[@4k4DexYT]

What was so wierd about king H6? I dont get it, i would put my king there also.

[@VPSGaming855]

Its crazy how a 2100 is resorting to a bot

[@user-gy4xp2tu6f]

Did you get the points back from the report?

[@remcovanhartevelt588]

6:25 just Nc4 and you'd be defending for a while

[@remcovanhartevelt588]

For further clarification, after the bishop kills the knight, you can sack your only defending piece to open up the B file, and then take the c4 bishop. Not sure if it would work I'm but a lowely 1400 ish

[@wisdom7564]

cheaters are just destroying chess tilting you till you start raging especially on lichess

[@hunter1759]

Do you do live coaching by chance?

[@spankymcduff9683]

I can see a low elo player disconnecting but not a 2300....pour etiquette in my opinion. Never give up the fight.

[@asztapaszta9]

Heym you didnt say Stay sharp! at the end!

[@konroh2]

True, missed that, I wish I could follow that rule when I play chess.

[@marvelclash6019]

Nxh3 was bad move you pinned your rook, it lead you in a bad position in 1st game

[@chess26622]

01:51:42 I just noticed that you missed Qc1 at this timestamp. Still losing, but at least not a piece down. You're hitting your opponent AFK bishop on c8, so you can exchange you knight for a piece. Right?

[@chess26622]

Correction: 01:52:42 Something like that

[@faraway_bikehiking]

Playing higher level players and still lots of inaccuracy s very interesting thanks

[@chess26622]

That's why chess is an interesting game. If you saw only perfect moves at this rating, and no mistakes at all, chess wouldn't make any sense. We are all humans after all

@@chess26622 exactly, hence fight to the end...eh.. should be called "how I think and react" perhaps and thanks for your channel for humans

hey couldn't even ladder mate you in the end with the R + Q . needed another promotion?? RICE COOKIN

[@paultzi3141]

1:34:30 , queen h3 isnt that forced checkmate? I dont see any way of black to stop that

[@lipi_ive4032]

if you wanna eliminate rice cookers, just don´t play against new accounts

[@dannymeer1156]

Why is rice cooker synonymous with cheating? What does it mean??

[@chimp09]

Nelson was playing a cheater who claimed to have cooked rice while playing whenever he took some time.

[@Chomta]

Yoooo i found Rd4!! As a 1600

[@gigasic]

Cheaters will always be funny to me. "Hmmm yeah let me play first few moves like a rookie and then play the rest of the game with picture perfect accuracy, Surely the system won't detect me", it's so obvious that it becomes hilarious

[@danchaplin2911]

But after he supposedly "turns on the engine" many many inaccuracies and mistakes take place so what on earth are you talking about bro

[@johnstoeckel9384]

Lot of paranoia...everyone who beats you isn't cheating

[@jms4406]

Im early to the show.

[@danchaplin2911]

You're accusing of cheating yet majority of the follow up moves were inaccuracies and mistakes by your opponent, wouldn't they all be best moves clearly illustrating an idea?

[@ChessVibesOfficial]

Smart cheaters don't cheat on every move.

[@danchaplin2911]

@ Bro, normal players don't make the best move each turn, it's often a mix which is exactly what we're seeing in this game. Looking at time management is also unreliable, I can think of many times where I paused to make a move for a multitude of random reasons like a roommate knocking on my bedroom door or the cat jumping on my desk. Just bad sportsmanship in my opinion. 8:19 I also thought this was funny because later in the analysis it turns out that this supposedly engine like move was actually an inaccuracy yet you soldier on with the accusation.

You missed a hanging Rook in game against lepolapuduki with 1 Minute on clock ok 45 secs😅 after 2 hours playtime thats fair

[@NicoRTM]

I thought the same, but it is not hanging, if nelson takes that rook then the night jumps to e2 forking the queen and the king.

[@konroh2]

Actually he didn't miss it, he explained that it would blunder a royal N fork on K and Q.

[@harrytiltmam3075]

it wasn't hanging bro if nelson took he had a fork

Wait, did Nelson edit the video to remove the part where he said that he voted for Trump because he is a Christian? Find that interesting… Both that he edited it and the reasoning behind his vote.

[@davidvaldes3456]

In this day and age, for the most part, when you tell someone who you vote for and it is different than your own, their perception of you changes. At the root of it I think he did it to keep people united with chess

[@kylegaidos7688]

That's hilarious bc Trump is anything but... More like Adulterer, rapist, crook. Religion is hilarious(ly stupid).

[@konroh2]

I think Trump aligns with Christian values a little better. Nationalism over globalism, individual rights, families, free market economy, strong defense, rule of law, strict border policy, life over death.
