I know this may not sound very impressive to most of you. But I am a total beginner in chess and I’m on my way on reaching 400 ELO thanks to these videos. I’m so grateful for that! I had never played chess before in my life until three months ago. I haven’t memorized any openings. I’m just improving because I’m slowly but steadily absorbing the tactics you explain so well in these videos. My deepest gratitude to you Nelson 😁👏🏻

[@Shaun_GTI]

My board vision is getting so much better because of this incredible series! Thank you Nelson for all your hard work and superb teachings 😁👍🎉

[@King_Kong_510]

I concur!! Less blunders and better follow ups as well. Thanks Nelson. Appreciate it

[@prepaidtrash5552]

no its not

[@sigma8995]

You are so humble and a great teacher Nelson. Please keep up the good work. These videos are very educational and I got a lot of value out of them.

[@ChessVibesOfficial]

I appreciate that!

[@Flayne4]

Found your channel a couple weeks ago and have been really enjoying the climb. Just hit 1000 rating today and I feel watching your stuff has helped me slow down my play and think a bit more critically about some positions.

[@skakdosmer]

Funny, my 1300-1400 (over-the-board) opponents never made the kind of blunders we saw in the last game. They did make blunders, but they were either in the category of missed opportunities, or they required more cunning play on my part.

[@jacobdrollinger4802]

Most of my opponents are in such a hurry to make a move. They snap take, even in the openings, when I know that I am making book moves.

[@Toku91]

You are very good in explaining mate. i discoverd you 1 week ago and now im watching atleast 1 video a day. Keep it up

[@MrOnosa]

He remembered his catch phrase at the end of this one! Great video, at first I didn't like the unedited video because of too much dead air, but this one had hardly any of that. Very engaging, thank you. Stay sharp, play smart, and take care!

[@scottyoung2601]

It is interesting to know more about the Ponziani ( because I play it ) than the IM who has taught me so much. Nelson did play the position well though which testifies to his experience.

[@dimo2081]

god i felt that last game in my soul, i feel so bad for your opponent there, just that instant resign after blunder

[@MahendarKumarMali]

You are just killing it with every video in this series. Great composure and valuable insights :)

[@tiagohello]

Amazing video! Thank you so much! 💙

[@TheWaLeK]

imagine an opponent of nelson making same kind of a video and we get to see what they think too 😂

[@GreenRayJC]

My problem is I just don't see all the moves. Even in a 3 day per move format I make mistakes then only see why it was a mistake after I move. And quite often I focus on what's happening immediately in front of me not realising there's something else on the other side of the board. Plus I'm the blunder King, let's not forget that😂

[@GreenRayJC]

Example, here I would have missed the bishop and moved the knight. 32:29

[@mariuszpudzianowski8400]

Do puzzles, think after each move what changed on whole board, what is now possible - bot for you and your opponent.

[@jacobdrollinger4802]

You and me both, brother!

[@yomanyomandx5609]

Same 😢😅

[@JohnDoe-hr4xj]

Great serie, also brings Nelson back to the basics.... Every now and than his eyes are glazing over with the question, Why? 😊

[@BrandonYates]

Could we see some Tennison Gambit action? I normally play Kings Indian Attack but I've been doing that move order lately - lots of traps, and if they don't fall for them I just play it like the KIA lol

[@kirayoshikage8904]

Its such a good video I absorbed its knowledge in 1 minute

[@alondramoro3921]

me too!

[@josephsalmonte4995]

Lol Well done lads. A bit slow but good effort 😂

[@aaronbreider4788]

Love the channel

[@johngrimsley8848]

Is he still undefeated in his journey?

[@trassage]

Yep. Not even a single draw

[@xcellsior]

Why is it when I play blitz they do not make such obvious mistakes? I feel like it's so obvious when I'm watching your stream. I guess the commentary and walking thru your thought process helps a lot.

[@biz6361]

maybe if you talk out loud it’ll help lol

[@remcovanhartevelt588]

16:25 if they take the bishop you can retake with the knight atak the queen and have a mayor atack with Bh5 unleashing the bishop and atacking the f7 square like 2 million times

[@sachinlotade8116]

Love your channel

[@HybridDom]

Stockfish seems to really like it when you put the king in check.

[@rowenabuitre9830]

I just got to 1400 today i hope i can play with you nelson

Love the work keep it up

[@stiltmaster9413]

Could you play some benoni variation in a comming game and if c4, d5, the benko gambit might be cool see

[@DanielSong39]

Game 1, it looks like they were going to go down a piece then randomly hung a queen instead Is there some tactic I missed?

[@jacobdrollinger4802]

I never see pawns as protection, I only see them as targets.

[@IoniAppelberg]

Long time follower, first time commenter. First of all, thank you for making this content. I love it! And I'm so proud of you! You know your channel is going to 4 million subscribers, right?

[@jacobdrollinger4802]

It's a good thing that you're past my rating level. I would have lasted like, 5 moves! 😂

[@remcovanhartevelt588]

17:50 Qa4+ forking the queen and king😅

[@BG-mw5pt]

what's interesting to me (and i see this in my games too) is the mistake comes early in the game. 2:30 minutes in and the game is gone. in all this speedrun i have yet to see a player blunder for the first time with less than 4 minutes on the clock. it's like once the opponent makes a move, it's a rush to move as well, without analyzing what would happen after my opponent makes a move. and usually it's not a complicated 3-4 move variation, it's taking the time to answer basic game questions: what is my opponent attacking, what is the space left behind, do i have overloaded pieces or undefended pieces, is there knife fork in the air, are there any discovered checks?

[@phurba3596]

we need same content more nelson❤

[@samseal8611]

Why is the move at 57.43 so terrible? It's a blunder that loses the bishop, sure, but why did white immediately resign?

[@gimme_pineapple]

There was a fork on Queen/Bishop. White was losing both the bishops.

[@robertbrandywine]

@@gimme_pineapple And that's such a big deal that he resigned immediately?

[@RikMaxSpeed]

Nice queen sac, mate! 🇦🇺

[@surgeonenjoyer]

Just asking, if you will be able to, can you try the Evan's Gambit in a video if you will have the occasion to?

[@josephsalmonte4995]

I was halfway through the first game then realised I watched this one earlier lol. Why the re-post?

Hey. Very interesting channel. Could you please play Albin counter-gambit sometimes!! Thanks.

Thank you for this series, really useful at my level... For your throat, try hot water, honey and lemon drink and if you drink alcohol, add a tot of whiskey, my goto throat soother.

[@easer777]

I don't understand why he resign at 57:58, can't see how it is lost, despite being totally "green", I can normally follow and understand (thanks to Your great way of keeping it simple), but not this time, did he just need to go do something else, or was the position lost....???

[@MrDerpinati]

same here, no idea why that pawn to f3 was a blunder surely the knights forks the queen and bishop, queen move out of the way and its an about equal trade?

[@Maxi_Moxn]

because white is down a bishop. Bishop for free at E3.

[@johndemauro7613]

I think he was either going to be able to get the 2nd bishop or queen depending on what piece he moved

[@masteredemu7013]

Wonderful vedio

[@AndyChanCubing]

How has this guy won over 100 games in a row?

[@sulav3709]

because he is titled player(NM)

[@mariuszpudzianowski8400]

If you started playing people who are like 1/10 of your ranking you could get close 100 in a row too, if you are around 1200 at least

[@AndyChanCubing]

@@mariuszpudzianowski8400 oh that makes sense I am 1300

[@muhammadqadri7246]

Can i reach 1300 or 1500, if i just know 1 or 2 opening. What should i learn to reach it?

[@jamesmandla1192]

yes, get better at tactics. You only need tactics to get to that rating range

[@Gwennbleidd_Chess]

Just play, do tactics (maybe get a puzzle book).

[@mariuszpudzianowski8400]

Best to know one opening against e4, one against d4, e5, d5 - then maybe look up a bit about caro-kann (how to play against it) and basic ideas of sicilian. I play Vienna, Caro, London and Benoni - and I don't plan on learning anything new, just improve those openings.

[@vitalylinevich4261]

Hello! Please, add new translations of rating climb to the playlist

[@black6master]

I am little bit confused, did you not wanted to write 2300 ratting instead of 1300? It is difficult to believe you would be so low rated 😊

[@jusjerm]

It is a ratings climb with a new account. He is realistically rated ~2500 or something, but this account has only made it up to 1300s so far

[@drewfenton866]

The last game was disappointing. I have been playing KID/Pirc as black and I wanted to see that one play out

[@GachaIsTrashDontPlayIt]

Can u play kings indian attack

[@gavasiarobinssson5108]

Why cant white queen go to c2 and protect the bishop? game 1

to learn king's indian theory is hard.. rather give up on chess

What if black went Qg3 to threaten Bh3 in 17:54?

[@jebbush3130]

when?

[@sujalmaharjan7563]

@@jebbush3130 In 17:25, black could go Qg4 instead of knight h6 to threaten Bh3. Then what would be the best move for white?

[@jebbush3130]

​@@sujalmaharjan7563 I dunno what the best move woud be. Bb5+ still looks good cause they have to give up castling rights. In any case you could always still go Bg3 after they go Bh3.

hola

NELSON, WE WOULD HAVE LIKED YOUR COMMENTARY AT THE CLOSE OF THE GAME TO SIMPLY DEMONSTRATE, PLEASE, WHY THE OPPONENT FELT IT NECESSARY TO RESIGN AFTER YOUR VERY LAST KNIGHT CAPTURE OF HIS BISHOP. I'VE READ THE COMMENTS BUT DON'T SEE IT, AND THAT'S UNUSUAL FOR ME. PLEASE DO EXPLAIN THE ENDING MOVE'S RAMIFICATIONS, THANK YOU. AND AS ALWAYS, BLESSINGS YOUR WAY, .. MIKE.

Yo if it’s ok can I play vs you my rating is around 1380 and my username is kravenlore?

[@lifesucks2006]

57:58 I don't understand what happened in the last game. Like white could move their Queen from C2 to F2, or is there something else that I'm not seeing?

[@learningisfun2108]

At level elo 1300+, losing a major piece (in this case, a knight…. smallest of the majors, but still….) is going to, in all likelihood, be a loss. So he resigned. Brain fart most likely. Happens to us all. I lost my queen early in a game. So silly. Luckily, my opponent had less experience so I persevered and eventually won, but my odds were terrible at that point. Not bad to admit defeat and resign.

Probably a cheater or a fellow speedrunner, before he reaches 1500

[@jaybingham3711]

We need to start a poll and which ever subscriber(s) wins they get to give Nelson a nice neck rub. Or whatever. Have one competition that's based on like a small point (5 or 10) range. IOW someone states he'll have an off game somewhere in the low 1800 hundreds and therefore offer that it will occur between 1812-1816 (a 5 point range). Then do one concurrently that makes use of a precise guess. No range. From there, lots of prop bets could be going on as well. What country will deliver him his first loss? How many losses might he have to endure. Etc., etc., etc.

[@Gwennbleidd_Chess]

I think no one before about 1900-2000.
