This is the best playlist I've seen. I'm now playing just like Peter-Patzer and loving it!

[@EnduroNerd]

I'm currently rated about 1400 in rapid, and even at the rating of this game, I am learning so much. Thanks for this series!

[@drewfenton866]

Your content is the best and this series is awesome. Thank you for all the hard work you put in, it has helped my chess game a ton!!!

[@roastedman8384]

12:35 the enemy could've forked your knight and bishop with d5 which would've made him almost equal in material/position taking in consideration that he is able to protect the pawn that caused the fork.

[@perssontm1628]

Actually no, you go bishop g5 attacking the queen, if queen gows down d7 you go knight C5 again attacking the queen and it has to move, now you're out of the pin because you can move your bishop and your knight is defended. If they instead of moving the queen after you play bishop g5 they decide to block your bishop with pawn f6, you take with bishop, white takes with his bishop, you then have a fork on king and rook with knight f6, so it wouldn't really do much.

[@aakash_jamadar4]

​@@perssontm1628Queen can take the knight after fork,and then the best move is ig to take the pawn on d5 gaining +2 advantage

[@Xavierrex3]

Man this is an amazing series, I'm learning so much just by watching you play and explain your logic haha

[@adrianpilbrow]

Great work explaining your thinking as you play! Super easy to follow and very clear and logical.

[@josephsalmonte4995]

I like this chilled series wirh good explanations. Thanks 👍

[@onlyapawn4371]

Regarding the Na5 line at 15:15 you could have played rook e8 check. After Qe8+ white has Qd5+ check winning the knight on a5.

[@megauser8512]

But it is still trading the knight for the rook, which is still better than moving his queen and losing the rook, but it is not optimal, since he would still lose a net of 2 points of material.

[@onlyapawn4371]

@megauser8512 no cause you got the bishop at the start. Your swapping your rook for a bishop, a pawn then a Knight. 😊

[@jonathansampson7450]

Very instructive, thank you! If you're willing, I'd love another endgame-focused episode :)))

[@Aufbleiben]

I appreciate how you justify your decisions by looking over potential moves and explaining your thought process

very nice video Nelson. Love this series!

Thanks a lot, Dale!

Best educational chess video I have ever watched. New fan and subscriber😊

[@danielbillings1876]

Stop making such great videos!! I’m supposed to be working.

[@Maseguim]

Thank you master! The way you explain the moves is excellent! I will recommend it to my students!

[@MrPassion4truth]

2:49 Instead of forcing the white bishop to trade, you could have moved the knight back to d5, and then threatened to trap the bishop on the next move.

[@onlyapawn4371]

Love this series thx Nelson 😊 🙏 😊

[@RayWall]

13:01 he could've taking your knight with the queen during your fork. how would you have followed up? never mind the bishop was in the corner lol

[@lorenzosegoloni]

10:29 Isn’t Qh2+ Kf3 Qf2# mate in 2?

[@megauser8512]

Yep!

[@megauser8512]

@mythbusters866 Yep!

[@togishere]

21:00 You should've played the crazy Nxc6! Would've been a fun tactic!

[@ChapCinematics]

That's what i thought

[@aakash_jamadar4]

If knight takes the knight,he would just take our queen and after we take his queen he will take our knight on d4,and then if we move our knight to e6 which seems a safe square because of the pin he can go c6 attacking our bishop guaranteeing a piece.The only option is c7 then he will go bishop b7 attacking our e4 pawn as well if we move our knight. I saw this,let me know if there is a miscalculation.

[@togishere]

@@aakash_jamadar4 What is your elo..?? This seemed totally off. Knight takes knight, he takes queen, we take queen, he takes knight, then nothing happens. Idk why you're saying there's a knight on d4, that's the knight we took with. All the rest of your explanation just doesn't make sense

[@aakash_jamadar4]

​@@togishere900 elo. yeah taking knight on d4 was miscalculation,i forgot we took from it. I saw a comment above yours saying we can fork king and rook if we take with knight which was wrong too,i answered that and pasted the same here as i thought you were trying to say the same thing seeing the word "'crazy".

[@chriswaudby1084]

Thanks Nelson awesome instructive and helpful appreciated 😊

[@bribenyt3027]

42:43 i think you should've played Bc5 instead of Bb4 it's a natural looking move that hopes to play Bxc4 and the idea is that if white takes back on c4 with the pawn you use a decoy tactic with Bxf2 and after king takes you have Qxd1 the whole theoretical line would be: Bc5, Bf4 Bxc4, xc4 Bxf2, Kxf2 Qxd1

[@MountainPieEnjoyer]

You should try the Englund gambit and show how it can be tricky in low elo.

[@reubenmanzo2054]

That's my favourite black opening.

[@DanielSong39]

Man Chess Vibes is crushing it He would have a good chance against these players with rook odds

[@DanielSong39]

Actually that would be a decent video Play odds chess against players rated 800 or lower At rook odds it would get very interesting

[@satgurs]

@@DanielSong39 nope, even i (rated 1300), could win with rook odds against an 800 rated player

[@DanielSong39]

@@satgurs Maybe! But he would be challenged for sure, no surprise if we see an occasional draw or loss

[@danehammond5763]

Question, are viewers going to get the opportunity to play Peter Patzer? I'm ~830 rated and think it would be a fun experience

[@Reuvench]

Addicted to your rating games! At 5:42 why didn't you just take his Pawn with knight, attacking his rook at same time?

[@DeuceGenius]

At this level i think one of the most important things to remember is to keep looking for better moves even if you find a move you like. And double check everything

[@PaulWise-r4h]

Thanks Nelson you are very easy to understand Paul

[@NidhiShah-oe9ry]

21:00 you could have just take the knight on c6 which would have attacked opponents queen and if pawn takes you could fork the king and rook with the bishop

[@aakash_jamadar4]

If knight takes the knight,he would just take our queen from the pawn and after we take his queen he will take our knight.

[@astro6897]

Hey Nelson it was me asking for the Scotch thanks!

[@rivhi7974]

I like how you just spotted a 4 move tactic I’d never see in a hundred years 😅

[@omnigodguy]

I think I'll stick with playing the Blackmar-Deimer Gambit lol

[@CloakerPD2]

I'll just stick whith nimnowitz larsen attack

[@salamence6828]

I'll stay with the King's pawn.

[@MountainPieEnjoyer]

I'll stick with the Englund Gambit Declined: Reversed Alekhine, Reversed Krebs, Reversed Mokele Mbembe Variation.

[@ScottyO79]

The Scandinavian and the Icelandic gambit were really good. 👍🏼

[@vleessjuu]

28:05 Re1 would've just been mate straight away, right?

[@MrPassion4truth]

13:15 black should have forked your bishop and knight instead of taking the pawn with the rook?

[@xiongkham]

Thanks for another lesson!

[@koliatab]

12:36 black d5 forking knight and bishop

[@koliatab]

Never mind. It is safe because it's still +1 in result😊

[@jirehmarkmorilla6695]

13:12 how about bishop to g5? Threatening the queen?

[@WaldoWizard]

Why not Kn to H6 with your time at 7:48 vs Hellojazzmin ?? You would be discovering to take the knE6 and protecting the BG3 and attacking the R G8 ?? looks good Peter ..

[@renssloos1655]

Man I love chess and I play a lot now. You are amazing what a great player you are. Wish I could be as good as you. Keep up the good job! You deserve some likes!

[@timm439]

2:20 why not move the knight and get the trapped bishop for free?

[@JasonTodd339]

12:55 what a fork

[@takemebacktothen]

2:09 ouch!

[@uoiin-2553]

White just missed a fork after you did castling here 34:37

[@davidfleb]

It's defended

[@epikbaconb9780]

19:05 pawn push it makes that threat available 😭 Edit: never mind I remembered a position where my opponent put the knight to b4, but. Chasing the knight away with b3 will make the threat available

[@roquenogales9779]

Very nice video

[@Muffinguy132]

Play the ruey lopez spanish game

[@Gemstone901_1YT]

So I think we need Bobby fisher and Average Joe as another climb series so the 3 can reach GM status

[@Overkill9991]

I hear Icelandic gambit I click. It’s his us one of my favorite openings

[@Rqwwqw]

20:29 knight take knight

[@megauser8512]

But that could lead to a queen trade, instead of Nelson saving his queen.

[@JonBernhards66]

What happened to the Icelandic Gambit?

[@virendabas5811]

Goldmine series. Thanks Nelson

[@PixelGunMaster-mm5yq]

10:10 these were two free rooks actually

[@aneima]

Damn I learned so much as a 1300 player, thanks

[@JustACuteFox]

The difference between a real 500 and a sandbagged 500 is so obvious. Wish there weren't so many of the latter. Sucks when you're a real 500 trying to improve.

[@paytonrickle6785]

You had a checkmate you missed at 28:00

[@AzerithGaming]

Bishop blocks

[@paytonrickle6785]

@@AzerithGamingyeah move the knight blocking your bishop and attack his rook with the knight then take the bishop with yours and then it’s unstoppable mate. Or your winning a bishop and a pawn

[@HeathenFPS]

It’s strange that watching you the moves you make seem so obvious to me. I can call them out before you make them sometimes. But when I play, nothing seems obvious anymore and I blunder every other move lol

[@anttt7993]

Bah. Without ...Qxd5 you're not really playing a scandinavian! The queen out there is great for psychological play on the opponent. They obsess over it. Stick on a5 and they forget it's there. I love bringing the queen out in the scandi
