By far my favorite chess youtuber- everything gets explained at a nice and slow pace and there's none of that arrogance you see on other channels. I especially love it when Nelson goes: "there's a line here, but I can't remember, I think I am gonnna playyy...."

This one is tied with Gotham for me, Gotham is more smarmy and quirky, but his charm comes from that arrogant vibe. Because we know that ultimately he’s actually a humble and caring guy who did have a career in being a teacher in chess. So it’s all a bit of an inside reference there. Levy truly is fantastic. But Nelson goes more in depth on the simplicity, Gotham is primarily talking to higher level players about higher level chess, but dumbs it down so that low level players can follow along.

@sniebl8 күн бұрын
For the first 100 games you play, try to play with basic principles in mind. Develop your pieces, king safety, looking for tactics, checks captures attacks. After 100 games played, review your game and try to see if you can recognize patterns or typical mistakes that opponents in your elo make, even if you fell for them. Consciously reviewing your games will actually lead to clear improvements in your next games because the patterns will be recognizable to you. This will continue until you inevitably come across new patterns that you're unfamiliar with. Also try to do as many puzzles as you can when you have bad streaks. And last but not least, NEVER take it personally if you lose. Every single game played, even the ones that make you rage and feel like your brain is incapable of processing a simple thought are merely adding to your deep reservoire of patterns that you can recognize in chess.

As a Colle player at the 500-ish level, this was great to see! I run into these scenarios every game I play, and it’s 90% why I started playing semi-Slavs and Colles - they’re super solid defenses against hyper-aggressive opponents whose game plans seem to be either “spam the queen” or “never stop attacking ever.”
@Joshwaheazo3 ай бұрын
@jmgerraughty As a 500 player. I would ignore playing systems. Took me about 2 weeks to get to about 700-800 elo (I got stuck there for ages though). Better to play other people's mistakes, about 1 in 3 moves you can punish. Bump the time format up to 30 minutes and you'll see what I mean. Go back down to blitz when you're faster at calculating.

truly an amazing moment at 20:37 His opponent pinned the bishop to the queen using a rook, but Nelson still moved the bishop away, allowing his opponent to take his queen. I actually didnt think the 400 elo player will see and play the bishop-queen pin, but good for him for spotting it. If he is only 400 elo and can notice a pin like that, then he has a bright future in chess, now he will surely capture the hanging queen *PAWN C5!!!* *HANGS BOTH ROOKS IN 2 MOVES*

5:46 - Snatching the c7 pawn which is hanging also seems a good possibility. (Edit) Later you mention it and decide that it is OK but castling is better. The later forking of the Queen pretty much puts a mere pawn snatch in the shade.

i have an idea i think would potentially be good for playback mode or practice mode. if a square is attackable by white put one or more little green dots in the upper left corner of the square. if it is attackable by black put one or more little red dots in the upper left corner. for secondary knight moves do a lighter shade of the colors. maybe even do a tertiary for the knights with even lighter colors but that might be too cluttered. these dots might help over time to access what is going by both sides when moves are made.
