How To Win With d4 (Colle System) | 12 More Chess Principles - Episode 3

[@grahamdugan]

My son and I just got the book! He might only be 4, but he’s getting really good and he insists your videos are the best to learn from, so thank you for all the great work!

[@mariosnum1fan]

He’s gonna be a gradmaster one day listening to Nelson! :))

[@ChessVibesOfficial]

No problem! I started chess at 4 also!

[@remcovanhartevelt588]

Lol started at a similar age, just start with the pawn and king mini game and see if he is in to it. Do lose sometimes to make him feel like he plays good, even though you can destroy him 1000/1000 times

These are right up there with some of the best instruction videos/series for chess on all of KZbin. You should be proud. I have been looking for something like this for a long time. I struggle to read through chess books and capture the information well. I sure hope you continue doing this for other well known books. I already had this one and have extracted more information from your past three videos than I did reading the whole book. If I can make one suggestion - please try to keep your thumbnails consistent when they are a part of a series. The little symbol that you used to describe a study should ideally be placed in the same location within thumbnail for easy spotting, and the consistent part of the title (name of the series) should ideally come first, with the descriptive part of the title being last. For this video it would be 12 Chess principles Ep. 3 - How to win with d4 etc etc. makes it easier to spot as well. I cannot wait for more videos and more books from you. You are an excellent teacher. Thank you very much

Great videos, I watched every rapid rating climb stream that you've done in the past, helped me reach from 300 to1200 elo in 2 months ❤ I hope for more streams, really helpful for beginners to intermediate players.

Thanks Nelson - there is a lot of chess content on here and your videos have been the most helpful for me! Looking forward to the rest of this series

[@zoharcohen7837]

Thank you Nelson, you are an amazing teacher. I learn a lot from your summary of books. I have a few books of my own but it’s hard for me to learn from them by myself. I would like if you would summarize ‘How to reassess your chess’ or maybe make a video explaining imbalances 🙏🏻😁

[@elperro3683]

I really enjoy this series this far. Thanks for putting it out there.

[@NJDJ1986]

such great tactics Nelson! i love Chess principles series!

[@wildoliveaz]

Great series. Really enjoying playing through the games and then watching your vids to reinforce the concepts! Thanks for sharing!

[@Thogstacker]

Colle took me to 1600 back in 89 (all we had was books and chess life). But the 1700s made short work of it.

[@jarvisjones3164]

Great piece. Once played Colle system, I won but I didn't quite get how I won. Glad you actually explained. I didn't play the tricky moves you did, but my arsenal got a boost now. 🔥✌️

[@sergiomartinez4146]

Thanks for this series, nice idea to go through books adding more comments!

[@martinmelhus7324]

Really enjoying the series. Have had the book on my shelf for 30+ years, am getting back into chess.

[@gustavofiguera]

Thank you Nelson. Your lessons are really excellent and also fun. Chess lovers appreciate your work. 😊

[@bennyflexofficial9325]

Hey man, I really enjoy these videos and your explanations, as well as the moments where I can pause and try and figure it out. You make the game really clear and easy to follow. Keep up the good content!

[@CelsoOliveira1981]

maybe another category. A waiting move, you like your position so much you don't want to it to change. Waiting for your oponent to either commit to a losing position or make a mistake

[@bjornlangoren3002]

Also, a diversion, which pretends to be one of the 4, but is only used to take attention from the real attack. Might not work on a good player, but I can definitely fall for it.

[@mattotubo]

Thank you Nelson! Great lessons. I got the book and am excited to go through it with you and all of my friends here.

Thank you, brother!

[@GalTevet1]

These videos are amazing thank you!❤

[@roeydaz]

I suppose the London opening was a modification of the Colle opening. I’ve always felt one of the best ways to defend against the London is to castle to the queen side, provided you haven’t moved the pawns on that side. Similar to this opening where the pieces are mostly aimed towards blacks king side.

[@Horcauses]

Instead of trading the knight right away you could move the bishop to b1 and then move the queen to b2 and then when you trade the knight, whichever way black captures it will be checkmate the next move.

[@SvenGM-j8h]

I'm really enjoying this series. I ordered the book today too. I've learned a lot

[@enderyu]

Ah yes, a comment from SeaCow 0:25 I would consider that move a mistkae

[@Grandcapi]

Roberto's book, Tratado General de Ajedrez, was updated by Oscar Panno and is one of the best books about chess ever written. It is a shame that no translation was ever made. I have the algebraic version and the descriptive one. For no beginners, one can start with volume 2. The collection (4 volumes) is better than most treatises about chess.

[@JBfromFL]

I really like your videos. They have been helping me get better at chess. Thank you!

[@dyukonsuku2335]

[@prakasavigraha6104]

Super video once again nelson. I think I should get the book.

[@cyrusvanbeethoven4626]

Can you please make a playlist with all of these videos (of this specific book series) in it? That way we can easily find it! I'd be very appreciative. Ty for all you do! I am LOVING this series!!!

[@ruthenianthruth]

When Nelson played h4 at 20:18 I was actually considering f4 as more promising move because it does just the same job as h4 but also opens line for white Rook on f1. The drawback is that f4 limits Bishop on h6 but it is not much of an issue.

[@arrowofkira5658]

5:22 i would like to add that a lot of openings you might not immediately think of are very reliant on the c-pawn like the Caro-Kann. You get similar pawnstructures a lot of the time and for the black side c5 is pretty much your most important pawn advancement and pawn break in a lot of positions since the caro kann transposes into a d4 opening pretty much immediately. Example: 1. e4 c6 2. d4! d5. And when white plays the advanced variation with 3. e5 your gameplan with black is to play c5 at some point or immediately to challenge the center.

[@anonym5160]

I like the Queen’s Gambit

[@علىكمال-ب3غ]

plz put this series in playlist

[@toastbrot97]

Little addition to the four types of moves that your opponent can make. I would say if you can't identify the move as development, attack or defense and it looks like a mistake consider that it might be a tactical setup or a tactical sacrafice. And only if you're certain it's neither, it's probably a blunder.

[@ld77abt]

Nice Video again!

[@spd7693]

Against both Colle and London when we get this early structure with pawns on e3-d4 and d5-c5 and Nf6, often also accompabied by Nf3 (and Bf4 in the London), I always go cxd4. I just am used to playing it from the Sicilian, but this time it's a Karlsbad Caro-Kann and it can become quite tricky for White on the queenside. Still I don't think I've met opponents strong enough to understand the minority attack and so far I've never lost in those games, but I don't know if we'll ever see something that complicated in this book.

[@arassemiaktas8075]

the colli seems like a copy of the london system but worse.Why would anyone play it nelson?

[@FustinJields]

Not an expert on d4 openings, but Bc1 protects b2, which the London doesn't have. I'm sure there are more reasons too.

[@ChessVibesOfficial]

Yeah in some cases the b2 pawn is actually a weakness that can be a problem for white. Also the bishop on f4 can sometimes get chased around by black's pawns but that's not so in the Colle.

[@timothyvaughan6673]

Nelson, I am late to the party, and am just now going thru the book so I don’t know if you will go back and answer this. On move (3) e3 wouldn’t it be better to move Bd3 first so black can’t play Bf6 to keep you out. Thereby keeping your powerful bishop on d3? Then move e3 on your fourth move?

[@yooneunhyesarang9245]

CCTP Check Capture Threat and Pawn Break

[@hinyuchin4724]

5:50 thanks for that tip. I almost always lose to d4 players(unless they are really bad in the middlegame or endgame). 12:15 I always try to bait my opponent into moving the pawns in front of their king and sac a piece to open up their king 14:36 ... I was thinking of Nxf7:(

[@milkmanjones6445]

I’m curious as to how you memorized the squares and can so quickly recognize E4(and so on) as their label without counting. Is there an exercise you did to help? Or is it just from playing so much chess?

[@ChessVibesOfficial]

There was an old Russian guy that went to the same tournaments as me growing up. He always insisted on using his own board against whoever he played. His board didn't have any notation markings on the sides...The day I was paired against him was the day I learned. 😉 But to answer your question, lots of practice and eventually you start realizing the common moves (like white knights going to f3 and c3 and black knights to f6 and c6) and then just build from there!

[@lekhnayak]

nelson i love your videos very much thank you🎖🏆🏅🥇🥇🥇🥇♟

[@mikehiland3410]

Thank you for your videos, you are my favorite chess youtuber. You had a video where you talked about an app game you can download that allows you to practice knight moves. I cant find it now, what was the name of that app? Thanks.

[@borisslager1906]

The chess principle is to Castle early; however, in these videos in looks like castling is easy to attack. Can you explain the strategy behind which way to Castle or when not to castle?

[@gursimransingh9506]

2:01 when we take with the bishop, rook takes and we take with the knight, the check is with the queen, we go back and they play e4. Here’s the question when we played g4, can’t they capture the pawn with their bishop because the h3 pawn is pinned to the rook? I think that’s why stockfish just lets black take the knight

[@lawson-fc2cr]

at 12:26 why doesnt black just play knight to e4 trading knights then bishop to g5 taking the other knight and he’ll be up a piece?

[@lawson-fc2cr]

i see now that when queen takes back on e4 its mate in one is that why

[@lawson-fc2cr]

this is why im 1000💀

[@cristif92]

in the 21:17 - I would play Rfe1 , and in case he slides the queen to d6, putting the other rook to d1 would basically disable the queen. Right ?

[@m.akhlaaghi8993]

where is the episode 2 of the series? I can't find it. Can you please clearly put something in the title that could be easier to find

[@mahdisdn2492]

Thanks for this series . I have only one question whats the difference between h4 and f4 after Bxh6 Rhg8 my guess a tactic with the Qb6+

[@hariharanm-py7rb]

Ne.nelson,if castle on queen side,the pawns are pushed,Knights are stuck,how you can say that queen side is better

[@pothinakumari8486]

Great 👍 information 😅

[@Go_Fore_Golf]

Why not B H5 on principle 10 before you did B H4. That would skewer the king and the queen?

[@davidmasse2829]

If Nf5 was played then bishop captures knight and after the recapture that is where the loose knight falls to the horizontal queen sideswipe.

[@CornerPost-m7w]

I made 2 brilliant moves in same game using colle system

[@Horcauses]

8:05 why did he push e4 right away he could have also moved his rook to e1 before he pushed the pawn to solidify the attack

[@vimaladevishanmugam5943]

There is no need to solidify an attack, the first thing you should prioritise is your development, and the quick development of 2 bishops and a knight Is better than the the development of the rook and solid attack for no reason.

[@lethallohn]

5th category, positional? Also 6th passive?

[@soph941]

In game 2 a5 should be incorrect because after nxa5 rxa5 bxa5 and after the fork qa4+ black can counterfork with b5.

[@ericsmith8369]

This is the book that got me into chess as a teenage some 30 years ago, checked it out at my local library and I went through it page by page with my own chess set to visualize the positions and moves. Thank you for bringing this great book to the masses again.

[@jigglybotcodm]

5th category could be a bluff or distraction

[@MrPaulrael]

Nelson question: at 16:08 the move that Stockfish finds for black Nxd4! What rating would someone most likely be to find that move?

[@mariachaudhry4608]

Sometimes they are planning to pin queen

[@Kirito_wr]

In the second game after Nxa5 Rxa5 Bxa5 Qa4+ dont u just have b4?

[@yifansun2596]

8:46 Is it okay to castle queenside if your pawns are advanced? If so, why?

[@farouqbaiti4315]

What's up Nelson?👋🏻 I hope you have a great day.🙏🏻 In Game 3 after Black ''played'' e5, how about Bg5?☝🏻

[@vaishnav6534]

[@prdoyle]

21:27 - how about dxe5#?

[@ChessJourneyman]

Bf5 and g6 opening lines counter Colle so it's too situational.

[@alimollahosseini7838]

Can we find logical chess in chrome

[@anandgau1]

Why can't you play Neg5 instead of Nfg5 because Neg5 opens up the light squared bishop and potentially we can might a greek gift sacrifice.

[@ChessVibesOfficial]

Good question! Will try to answer this in the next episode!

[@Kennythepudding]

At around the time 18:33, white takes the pawb on h6, black plays queen to f6 and then take the bishop on g7 with a fork and you win the rook and you force the queen away. Why cant you do that?

[@MichaelTLam]

I think black queen and king are both defending g7 bishop. So it would just be an even trade

[@farouqbaiti4315]

21:20 What if we take on e5?✋🏻

[@palette3748]

At minute 12, if you trade knights, isnt there just a greek gift, totally winning the game?
