"I hear one of kids screaming, sorry." Nelson should've locked the basement

[@TheEthikos]

Wow, that double bishop checkmate pattern is awesome!

[@CST1992]

That opponent messed up big time. Put all their hopes in a sneaky stalemate and traded all their good pieces for nothing. If they knew they were playing a 2300 rated player they'd never have tried that.

[@scotttaylor7744]

imagine being a 400 and getting checkmated like that lol

[@gnarfle]

I really appreciate these videos! While there's great stuff in some of the other chess streamer rating climbs, I find the grandmasters doing it move up levels really fast and are showing some really advanced theory and skills. I find this rating climb much more accessible and applicable to someone at my lower level and an excellent look at the kind of tactics and opportunities I should be looking for against similarly low rated opponents.

[@mikemoody3651]

“I’m going to go check on our baby who is screaming.” Hopefully Nelson’s wife doesn’t watch these.

[@chriscote601]

😂

[@MrInk0gnit0]

Video idea I just came up with: chess against stockfish but you can en passant everything. Maybe it'll be too easy but I think it's gonna be fun

[@jebbush3130]

well you would have to modify the game code for that

[@flav5361]

@@jebbush3130nah you can just edit on the analysis board

[@jebbush3130]

​@@flav5361 oh, true

[@theperfecteraser5988]

Bro that is such an amazing idea

[@justaguy4311]

I think stockfish would make a lot of moves that assume you can't en passant

[@zachbabiarz2024]

these videos are amazing keep making them please love the rate climb

[@kruksog]

Also Nelson, there's no shame in flying through these low levels. Similar ideas will show up in the 1200 range but without all the tiring resignations and disconnects.

[@umut3375]

I was having a hard time making this mat and I learned it thanks to this video.

[@refeals]

love this series

[@sunmod1529]

New to chess. Learning a lot from these videos. Thanks Nelson

[@iamgroot3615]

The 2 bishop checkmate is relatively easy just because of how well the bishops work together. B+N mate is tough tho because of how weird knight movement is

[@ahgq7]

It's ok you can checkmate me but don't take my rook

[@modemuffel9911]

Very good video!!

[@BruceWangOfficial]

Thank you for showing how to double bishop checkmate. I could never figure it out😅

[@Someguy8231]

that final game was brutal

[@mr.d8747]

*Did he do the Intercontinental Ballistic Missile Gambit in game 2?*

[@tiletapper4ever]

Kind of yes

[@astro6897]

Hey Nelson it would be great if you play the scotch some times!

[@justsomenamelessguy5420]

Hey Nelson, can you pls tell the time u do these speedrun vids? I am an 1180 and when u come to the level, I wanna play u.

[@amber.k]

Nelson do you have any course which we can take where you explain games likes this for beginners to improve?

[@Those_Weirdos]

Wow, you managed to win in a weird way against someone you have 5 times the ELO of. Congrats. You must be so, so proud.

[@ralkadde]

16:52 Another way is to capture the Bishop and sacrifice the Queen: ... Nxa7 - Qxa7 Qd2+ - Kf1 Qd1+ - Rxd1 Rxd1# . The Qa7 does not cover the first rank anymore.

[@philmenzies2477]

@2:30 Why not Kn to g4 threatening a triple fork?

[@MasterOvPuppetz]

bro u check even your little ones?? have mercy :D

[@williamsquires3070]

(@10:58) White just moved Nb3? Better was O-O-O, lining up the rook with black’s queen, and connecting the rooks on the 1st rank. With the knight on d2, it blocks the path of the queen, so castling is still legal; by moving it, white allows black’s queen-rook battery uncontested access to the d-file, and prevents castling queen side, and castling king side will land white in a world of hurt due to black’s queen-bishop battery eyeing h3!

[@alex_zetsu]

It's nice that the Bishop checkmate involved no white pieces, so you didn't show us something that could result in a stalemate in an actual 2 bishop checkmate attempt.

[@QwDragon]

Can you play cow opening?

[@NickTheAxolotl]

3:30 Couldn't you have played Bb4 or what is wrong with that move? Is it because of a3?

[@loganhodgsn]

World's crunchiest pawn: 8:36

[@dark_star2369]

ong

[@PMA65537]

5:07 Did NxN not appeal?

[@amber.k]

25:14 is petrov or alekhine?

[@muhammedsuleiman8047]

Never heard of en passant before in my life... interesting

[@collinslfc]

The unwritten rule of chess, always take en passant when the opportunity arises, regardless if there is a mate in 1.

[@user-jm6ep7il2f]

He is so humble that he hardly analyze and do moves against low elo player

[@yotamabady7457]

What happened to bobby fischerman?

[@bsmoov7]

How do you choose who you play? Do you just log on like the rest of us and search?

[@quentind1924]

Just click on the button to play a game, you will face a random opponent with the same elo than you

[@DipanGhosh]

Hey Nelson, there is some issue with your audio setup, and it makes very loud click sometimes. I have heard it several times now. Please please look into it. Review the audio afterwards maybe.

[@Kiwi-zz8ri]

That’s weird I didn’t hear that

[@ChessVibesOfficial]

Please include timestamps of the moments you're talking about. Thanks!

[@tuskbuddy]

​ @ChessVibesOfficial Brief click at 8:36 - I've heard it a few times across the rating climb videos as well

[@ShakuniMamaKaRishtedaar]

Location 20:02 I have heard you say En PassanT a lot of times Well, the "t" at the end of pasaant is silent. Almost 99.99% of the times, the last letter in every French word is silent (except for the French word fis and a few other words where the last letter is not silent). Every time you say passanT, I cringe mentally. Today I finally decided to let you know the correct pronunciation of this word. Thanks!

[@marcojacobs5443]

Chess Titans fiengetto: First pawn to g6, next move Bishop to d6...

[@remcovanhartevelt588]

15:00 I think you is ded, Bxa7 Bxf3 Be3 defending the d2 square and then how you survive without losing the queen?

[@zada4a]

he did the 2 bishop stalemate as shown in the thumbnail. Impressive fail for a pro

[@martinorce3922]

It's not stalemate in the thumbnail

[@Schmerb08]

He has kids. So my hopes are dashed!

[@educat1on166]

30:06 those two moves might just be the stupidest two moves ive ever seen

[@start2panic829]

That bishop checkmate was brutal, but he deserved it for attempting a stalemate

[@txzk26]

How is trying not to lose in a game a bad thing bruh

[@EnergyCenterTV]

I hate chess but I play every day.

[@davejoseph5615]

I think I'd rather play against bots. At least they don't quit halfway through the game.

[@quentind1924]

Its better to play against humans. You will progress better than if you play against a bot that will see sneaky tactics, but they will randomly blunder a rook that is obviously attacked I don’t know your elo, but only low rated player quit at the middle of the game. At higher ranks, they resign only when they are clearly losing and it makes no point to continue the game (i’m rated 1200, and nobody resigns unless they are clearly losing)

[@dannywidjaya7943]

pinned by the kid

[@mieszkowaty]

FIRST

[@kingendercat]

second

[@robertbrandywine]

You went too fast through these games. Low rated players like me won't learn as well.

[@Nathan00at78Uuiu]

how is that 400 player just killing it. whatever. bunch of cheaters. Nelson is 2200 and a 400 has him in a tough spot? Yeah right. a 400 doesn't put anyone in any tough spot. ugh.

[@szlatnik]

I think these are instructive videos. I kind of feel sorry for your opponents though- they lost points like they were playing someone around their rating, but they had zero chance of winning. I'm not sure making videos like this is totally fair to your opponents in these situations.

[@gopal20679]

This is a speed run account and the opponents get their points refunded on losing.

[@borodino21]

Their points were refunded. It was covered in the first video of the series.

[@ManosErikosKlapsakis]

that you're doing in my opinion is not right. you play with new players and destroying them. ok you can learn for your mistakes I got that, but still is unfair

[@L19e]

Is it cheating? No Is it illegal? No Is it fun? Yes, So SHUT UP.
