You are so one of my favourite Chess coaches. I learn lots from you. You are a natural Educator. Thank you for sowing into other people's lives. One of a kind.

[@Jlang-es9lc]

First guy 100% was rage stalling lol. You can alway report them for it.

[@H4mStr4mGr4m]

Rage stalling an even position? Not likely.

[@Jlang-es9lc]

@@H4mStr4mGr4m True but it can still be done in even or winning positions out of spite when they know they can’t finish the game. You can argue they might have had to answer the door and got pulled away from the game for longer than expected, but you should still be reporting so it they’re a repeat offender something gets done about it.

[@kraknoix0075]

​@@H4mStr4mGr4mpretty likely, he doesn't know the eval, it definitely looked pretty bad for him surface level

[@Demian_R]

Even worse, he was cheating 😂. I suspected he was and the account has been banned already.

[@GreenRayJC]

Nah, Nelson has a d/c opponent button for those "interesting positions" 😂 But seriously, never underestimate the power of internet to fail you at the worst time.

[@apapods]

I was stuck in 1000 elo before I watched your videos. Now, I'm stuck at 1200-1300. Thanks, Nelson!

[@Poatanmafia]

Bro is still stuck 💀

[@PauIdenino]

Step sister

[@-andreiDNA]

Still stuck 😭😅

[@DimiSRBIJA]

exactly the same lmao I was 900-950 and now im around 1200 after going through this series

"in case I don't see ya, good afternoon, good evening and good night" - Jim Carrey as Truman Burbank in the Truman Show (1998)

[@anthonyfaddul3582]

OMG YESSSS

[@OfficerRL78]

The Treeman Show

[@L.Reeves]

When the dude left @ 15:00, I'm a big fan of p -> f5. Nelson would probably take the c pawn with the rook, black takes the e pawn. White recaptures. THEN you take the h pawn with the knight. might be able to set up a decent queening threat on that side afterwards

[@christopherheckman7957]

0:24 Game #1 23:59 Game #2 40:59 Game #3 5:48 That's an old movie? 13:00 Or maybe the opponent is off cooking rice ... 8-) 24:35 The number of calories you gain from celery is less than the amount of work needed to chew it up. IOW, if you eat it, you automatically lose weight. 37:22 White can stop the mate with Qc1-f1. 41:09 "We can't play the Scholar's Mate against the Sicilian" ... Why not? Bc4 and Qh5 are still moves.

[@mikemurad7490]

I learn a great deal from your videos, I usually think the position over before you do your thinking process, and I learn something every time. Thank you buddy.

[@mattpalmer7515]

Wow! You sound TONS better! I hope you're feeling as much improvement as your voice reflects

[@DanielSong39]

At some point I'd like to see a bullet ratings climb Obviously no commentary during the game but there could be some post game analysis or dubbed commentary afterwards would be fun The thing with bullet is that there are several anti-cheater strategies and it would be funny to see Nelson flag a cheater

[@Blinky888]

I find it interesting almost all opponents so far have like 6 or more minutes left. Youd think theyd prefer a shorter time mode

[@markmyers2732]

When I'm losing, I like to get it over with ASAP.

0:29 The truman show

[@bryanryan4504]

It isn't that old of a movie but it's Truman show. If you think it's old, that means your very young. I'm old.

[@rogergeyer9851]

It's all relative. Especially as we age and experience more, decade by decade. And in the modern era, things change faster and faster as well. In my teens and 20's, I LOVED the fast change, the advent of computers in high school and college, the PC, all the new PC peripherals and software, etc. But by about Y2K, I was wishing it would slow down. Now I HATE that they constantly change almost all web sides and interface rules, just for the sake of changing it. I can imagine people who are 15 or 25 just loving it.

[@kitrik23]

If The Trueman Show is an old movie, then Casablanca, ... The General are prehistoric...?

[@Shaun_GTI]

STILL LOVING THIS SERIES!

[@marcoklaue]

I've reached the age where people reference The Truman Show and follow it up with "it's an old movie"

[@Supergoon1989]

10:37 You should have got rid of this game in the edit - keeping everyone waiting for over 8 minutes where nothing whatsoever happens and the game just ends is incredibly unsatisfying, boring, and just wastes everyones time.

[@rogergeyer9851]

Actually, I was annoyed because I thought it was a VERY interesting and complex endgame-ish sort of position, which we didn't get to see played out. But at least editing the 8+ minutes down to 10 seconds or something would have been FAR better, re courtesy to the viewers. I waited a few minutes before I started scanning to see what was up.

[@adamblomquist5581]

Love your content! Was hoping you could play the Vienna soon, thanks. God bless

[@koliatab]

The wing gambit is often mentioned and played a lot in Ukrainian chess KZbin channel named "chess for all". (You definitely unfamiliar with that because of obvious reasons :)) And I'm glad to see it also in one of your tutorial videos. 😊

[@rkgrkg]

Totally not chess related, but I think it's awesome that you're going for a diet change rather than relying on medicine. Exercising some moderation where food is concerned is healthier, and you won't have to waste money on meds for the rest of your life. Of course, there are always some cases where diet change isn't enough and meds are essential, but hopefully yours isn't one of those. Respect to you for trying!

[@88mphDrBrown]

I don't get stalling out the 1st game. Sure the a pawn is pretty scary, but he had a ton of counter play with initiative, a massive time advantage, and the promotion still could've been easily bungled. It's not like your rook was already behind the pawn.

[@Chris-wk8nu]

I love the rating climb series. 👍 👍 👍

[@kingrex1931]

14:20 If black goes Nxh3, you could respond Ng2 which can be followed up by Ne1 which would defend both f3 and c2, holding your whole position together and allowing you to use your Rook and your king to attack and advance the Queen side pawns. You should report him for running out the clock in a lost position. That is poor sportsmanship.

[@siddharthannandhakumar6187]

1:00:39 Isn't taking with the bishop a better option?

[@kitrik23]

@36:51 all he had to do was get his queen beside his king and he could have fended off the checkmate

[@kitrik23]

Queen C1 then F1

[@simonepace71]

Ciao Nelson, could you suggest the best way in your opinion to learn openings theory? Thank you.

[@obhmusic]

Aah good old Truman Burbank

[@johngrimsley8848]

If you’ve ever had the chickenpox’s, you have the shingles virus in ya just waiting. Highly.. highly recommend getting that shingles vaccine (the one shot version) if you can.. I had shingles in my eye, which almost caused me to go blind and it was the most painful thing in my life. You don’t want to shingles.

[@rogergeyer9851]

And apparently, almost EVERYONE had chickenpox, even if you weren't diagnosed. Since I had a LOT of poison ivy that got BAD, I likely had a mild case and basically ignored it. Seeing the pain my mother went through (who hardly complained about surgery pain even), nothing bad happened to her, but you do NOT want shingles. I got the new vaccine (two doses). Aside from a moderately worse sore arm than for the Covid vaccine and lasting almost a week (for the first dose), I had no noticeable side effects.

[@tychay]

When they developed the chicken pox vaccine in the 1990's they developed the shingles vaccine. It's interesting to think my child will not know the double whammy that is chicken pox/shingles. My older brother got the shingles so I got vaccinated against it.

[@thetransferaccount4586]

it is what it is to 1575 that's where we go

[@javongboyd]

Can someone tell what video he lost in could’ve sworn I watched this whole speed run and I don’t remember it.

[@DanielSong39]

Lost to a cheater in the Ratings Climb to 1450 I think we'll see some legitimate losses and draws soon though, the players are getting better Probably some soft cheating here and there too but that's not as big a deal

[@Calibrex_Gaming]

Sorry bout that analysis was funny: “nope, that playing that anytime soon”. That’s me every time.

[@darekisrael469]

The Truman Show I'd like to spend my bonus points on a magical blueberry please.😊

i cant believe @37:22 Nelson is saying " i dont know how their gonna stop that " when there is a clear solution

[@blue_red_screen]

Qc1 and then to f1?

[@willitoburrito]

There is literally nothing he can do in that position. It’s mate in 1. What are you seeing

[@blue_red_screen]

@@willitoburrito instead of d4 play Qc1

[@rogergeyer9851]

@@willitoburrito: The one obvious solution I saw was Q to the back rank at C1, then to F1 where it covers the mate. Saying there's "nothing he can do" is just wrong.

[@kitrik23]

did you get it after all ? Its there, like all the other commenters are saying Qc1 ... then when black moves his Queen to H1, white goes to F1 and t he whole thing is nulified ... its just so strange Nelson doesnt see it ( but whatever I recently watched Bobby Fishcer miss checkmate and most of the pieces where off the board it was so obvious )@@willitoburrito

[@CardCollectorKing]

The Truman Show? I think Walter Cronkite said it as well?

[@tylerrussell7406]

THE TRUMAN SHOW!!!

[@sparkforce9975]

“What movie is that from” Oh I know! The Truman Show! “It’s a old movie, I’ll tell you that.” It’s not an old movie, what are you talking… oh crap, it came out 25 years ago….

[@specialuset8022]

With the last game, what would you have done if the opponent moved their king to prevent the check instead of pushing the pawn once more?

[@iceyroo]

Can you play the Jobava London?

[@mattiias9448]

Hi Nelson! Can I play against you in your rating climb? Im rated around 1600 in rapid

[@LostKin69]

Wing Gambit: Nelson Variation

[@rogergeyer9851]

I'm going to have to look at that. I used to play the Smith Morra gambit, but that was kind of bad vs. people who actually know what they're doing (re people who fall for various traps), so GM's, etc. never play it. Luckily there's this thing called "the internet", and I should be able to check it out without having to buy a book, etc.

[@phoenix0401]

In the second game, couldn’t white have prevented the mate by moving the queen to the back rank and then moving to cover g2?

[@rogergeyer9851]

Yes, that's what I noticed. A LOT gets missed in 10 minute chess. I didn't even like active chess (30 minutes a side) -- just too fast compared to the "tornado" speed tourney chess of 40 moves in 60 minutes and then 20 in 30 minutes, playing 4 tourney games in a long day. (This was OTB play before computers and the internet got big, so in the 80's and up to '95 or so, when I stopped playing "seriously" to do other things).
