I love how you take your time and think through both your options and your opponent's potential moves. It has helped me slow down and be methodical. I really enjoy your calm, respectful demeanor.

[@alexalt2630]

Me too. I have forgotten how to calculate from playing blitz and these videos help me to play more solid again

[@clintoruss153]

Exactly

[@clintoruss153]

That’s the key to improving, to really look at all your options AND your opponents threats. It’s so easy to become lazy and just blast out moves without thinking too much

[@ashwanijha7695]

53:15. Man this moment, it does saddens me, but cracked me up at the same time. The reaction of Nelson was priceless

[@robbo1415]

Yes, Ben is massively knowledgeable and entertaining and Levy has energy and skill too but Nelson is by far the most INSTRUCTIVE. Best channel for improvement by a mile.

[@joeymooney5160]

It’s helpful to me to see how you handle your frustration… I don’t always manage it as well as you seem to. But it’s helpful to know it happens to everyone.

[@CarlSong]

53:25 You can see the camera wobble quite a bit. Maybe he just slammed the door really hard on the way out.

[@cdm9011]

That game against stellar was painful to watch. I was screaming at my phone, bring out the rook!!! But I get it. Sometimes when you are in the middle of the game with the clock ticking you just don’t see things that end up seeming obvious.

[@0_0faizan]

I crossed 1400 today(started playing in dec 2023). Thank you Nelson

[@divinegreat2552]

Wow, congratulations man

[@fatmamasmoudi1428]

53:14 it hurts...

[@張謙-n3l]

Not really, his opponent used a much shorter time to achieve a similar accuracy

[@Justajawnie]

Great game

[@HybridDom]

Ah yes the, "We'll Just Pretend It Was Intentional" Gambit

[@Intoxthc420]

ho wow... your reaction at 53:00 is ... I don't have the right word... I feel you

[@cristif92]

1:30:11 - you move pawn to h5 check, he move the king to h4 , you check with he queen on f4, he try to block with the queen, but you captured it.

[@joshuadanford7364]

Thank you for your videos. I enjoy the way you explain thing and letting us guess next best moves. I really like Gotham and Hikaru, but the way you highlight the squares of opponents moves and letting us guess is very helpful.

[@homerdough5389]

Watching how you deal with your frustrating losses and react to them (like you got up for 2 mins and walked away) reminds me I gotta get a lot of maturity and humility with my ego (especailly since I'm a way lower ELO than you). I just tilt, analyze my game, say "that's bullshit. obviously i blundered here" or "stupid timetrouble" and then boot up another game to "make up" the loss (clearly, this doesn't go well since playing angry is a recipe for disaster) I surprisingly watched the whole vid which felt like it flew by in 20 mins.

[@Michael-cz2rf]

I understand the pain. One of the worst feelings in Chess is getting flagged in a totally winning position

[@Suqmeloser]

Shouldn't have used all that time at a non crucial stage of da game den

[@dahoop5933]

Very helpful. I caught your blunders a few times, but I would have been beaten long before you got to the position to blunder. Very informative, I learned a lot. Thanks!

[@benbatt21]

Nelson you are the man and my go to for chess. I love the live streams bring that back is awesome hope it continues I will always keep supporting

[@MAAAX2211]

I love how you take your time and think through both your options and your opponent's potential moves.

[@dinoj926]

In the 1st game, black's a6 opening was an opening used by magnus carlson. The goat horn defense 😄 or whatever it is.

[@cristif92]

31:40 - I better see resignation right here *He resigned* :))

[@-azeR-]

11:32 - 11:36 the moment of stress and pressure will it be loud, damn i have to prrrr (farts like boss) ma man 🤣

[@bobhicks8404]

You are a great teacher but I appreciate your heart and being open about your faith

[@JordanFernandes-i7v]

It's ok 😊 you can do it GM Nelson. NM stands for Nelson master.

[@DilyanChavdarov]

This opening is actually the goat horn opening Magnus is playing it currently. With the d5 move it kind of transposes in a caro kann defense.

[@francesgoulart3379]

last 5 minutes made it all worthwhile!!!!!

[@張謙-n3l]

Your opponent of the third game is really an amazing defender

[@yyyy-uv3po]

StellarCHess is your new Nemesis.

47:30 d1-d6

[@Garthantula]

At 17:45, why would Queen to c-6 have been a bad move?

[@olegklymov523]

1:37:42 Bishop C5?

[@Phil-n1p]

I was shocked to see your opponent blunder the end 😮in the 1st game . I was cheering for you though .

[@TeeGar]

Next time I have a spare 2 hours I'll be sure to watch.

[@johnmahugu]

blakc bishop e2 on third game?

[@KENETHKONDE]

Thanks a lot bro for all

[@cablestick]

Second game was WILD :D

[@dineshpr4541]

[@thetransferaccount4586]

nice entertaining games

[@BassdeDristor]

very nice video, ths.

[@johnmahugu]

awesome

[@Clegomation616]

I think nelson can beat levy in rapid

[@GODCOR]

i think the same thing

[@geniusingenious67geniusing90]

I think he can draw more easily than win

[@benbatt21]

Absolutely. Levi is too cocky.

[@GODCOR]

@@benbatt21 he thinks everyone is rated 500

[@zigachad7577]

What's Levi's rapid rating?

[@rxz6138]

🤔

[@loveistheanswer5924]

I am relative new in the chess game but I remember the night where I defeated Magnus Carlsen for the first time. He could not stop crying... Many more times have followed. (True story) 😊

[@maximos905]

I don't get it

[@ernie898]

You talk too much and not concentrate enough. Stop talking all the game and play the game

[@jayanthapera407]

He's analysing the board. Thanks to him, I learned to slow down and analyse all my blunders and good moves. Because of his channel, I have won a lot more games than I have lost. The reason he's talking is to show us all the possibilities. He's not talking too much, he's trying to show us the game

[@EroticPlatypus]

That's literally the point of this series

[@GODCOR]

@@jayanthapera407 completely agree. sometimes i just watch nelson just to get a confidence boost

[@anasal-qahtani5325]

Bro just turn down the sound

[@DilyanChavdarov]

Shut up he's just a goat. He's analysing and explaining very well and he's a very great teacher. I know that he'll become a GMI one day and also know that you'll never reach more than 1 elo and 1 IQ.
