I have to say... Nelson might not be the best chess player on KZbin (far from that), but for my current level, his lessons are BY FAR the most useful. I can only say thanks :-)

[@TheRealChiults]

Yeah, to me he's the best chess youtuber

[@masscreationbroadcasts]

Instructions unclear, I paid attention to the pawns and blundered my bishops.

[@andrewbennett5911]

Great video , thank you . Complicated game , but the power of passed pawns well demonstrated . You're teaching me a lot with these videos 😀

[@simonchen6698]

Dude, your explanations and concept presentation are so good. I don't even like learning about chess that much but I watch every video that you put up, lol.

[@Farren246]

Without upgrading, pawns are legitimately the most dangerous pieces in chess simply because they're the most expendable / easiest to exchange for other winning advantages.

[@drewfenton866]

Such an informative video for how to use passed pawns. I really like going through these games and seeing what move I would play and compare to what a master plays and what their ideas are. So many moves and ideas go way over my head, like the earlier move to sack a pawn to get the rooks lined up on the diagonal. When Nelson explains it, yeah it makes sense, but being able to calculate and see those moves is amazing to me. I hope some day I can be even half as good as the people playing these games!

[@Chris_Traynor]

Really enjoyed this. You really made the game come alive in this one. ☝🏻

[@weswes5876]

Thanks Nelson. Another great lesson. Much appreciated.

[@williamblake7386]

So fish ruined this book?

[@SmilingIbis]

No. I saw the tactic with the Rooks without Stockfish. I'm amazed it escaped the editorial process. Anyhow, older books may not be 100% accurate like a machine, but you can't sit at the board with a computer on your lap. These older books give patterns, ideas and concepts to allow you to think of ways to come up with something while you're staring at a board with your clock ticking, if clocks tick any more.

[@roncelano7861]

One of your best videos!

[@richardlee-shanok5578]

Thanks for the very instructive video! And for showing all the ideas behind the endgame tactics!

[@farouqbaiti4315]

This was all informative especially the last part.😉

[@stellakemner4847]

I actually got better after watching nine episodes of "logical chess" and a couple of your other videos. Thank you very much for your help to dive deeper in the world of chess!❤

[@learningisfun2108]

Superior lesson, Nelson. I’m going to have to watch it again to solidify in my mind some of the tactics and reasoning.

[@derfderf0]

This is a really great video. One of your best. I don't really play chess any more. I have a decent understanding, but this game was way over my level. The way you demonstrated the reasoning behind each move is top drawer.

[@fantomghost6213]

Great video again Nelson, thank you!!

[@thomasmartin7542]

What an interesting game...thanks for showing it, even if I wouldn't have come up with all the ideas myself.

[@EXROthechoosenone]

Yooo 2 videos in one day this is absolute win 🏆 🙌

[@jonathanyeru36]

I really like the this type of videos, explaining games from books. Keep it up!

[@jonasherman9195]

Very instructive game indeed!

[@youssef6222]

Great video

[@Astroqualia]

I'm at the stage where I use pawns to secure pieces that I risk trades with vs the enemy, enemies don't give the ability to like, fork with a pawn that often [~700 elo] and can sometimes foretell how I will use pawns in this way, but it still sometimes works. It kind of sucks I can't plan out complicated moves ahead of time several spaces because 1. The enemy always moves in a place that stops my plan in it's tracks or 2. I forget a complicated series of steps needed to have a plan come to fruition. Above most other youtubers I watch on chess, though, this seems to have the best info to learn from

[@universalnetwork264]

5:13 black's bishop can just take your knight and when you recapture with your dark square bishop, black's rook can come down and snag a pawn.

[@sp_dafit]

you play Qa1, attacking the rook and also add an attacker on a5 pawn, there’s no way to defend the pawn and you take the pawn on the next move

[@sp_dafit]

@@blue_red_screenblack takes what on c1

[@mmmmmratner]

13:00 I wish Nelson channeled Levy when white sacrificed THE ROOK!

[@drewfenton866]

Nah this is chess vibes, Nelson does his own thing

[@jacobg2394]

Hey nelson greatly enjoyed the video im pretty new and learning a lot from watching your videos at 2:08 i had a question about if you do in fact gain that big of a center what are the main benefits of that and where do you go from there

[@Young_LC__YT]

First.. 12 views in 2 minutes?? Bro stood upp!!!!!!

[@shotaconera2327]

I had noticed i tend to not move my pawns and my opponents do so im searching way to upgrade my pawngame

[@speedking434]

@Nelson What about Bb7 at 10:33, to increase the pressure on d5 pawn, does it makes any sense?

[@pigsalad8405]

Even at 19:00 it still shows the power of a passed pawn. Without it it is a win for white

[@rilentles7134]

Play Martin but for every 1 move you make, Martin makes 2 consecutive moves

[@chess26622]

I often get position like in beginning of this video, I often have huge advantage, but somehow I can't keep this advantage, and every game like this ends up either as a draw because of crazy tactics, or draw because running out of time vs insufficient material, or I can even lose because of blunders, because I have very little amount of time at the end of the game

[@cablestick]

You're the best Nelson

[@Sunnernite]

I miss the Martin challenge videos, so here's one. Can Martin beat you if you only made pre-moves? If you beat him, keep going one move further ahead each game until he beats you.

[@xlsfd]

At 13:46, I take it that Qxd5?? would immediately be followed by cxd5!!, with White winning the Black Queen.

[@jollyjester3923]

Have you ever seen a game where someone did an il Vaticano?

[@DaDitka]

2:35 In addition to winning a pawn, wouldn't Black also win the exchange, since the bishop is attacking the rook on a1 and there is not a feasible way to prevent that from happening? Or am I missing something?

[@uthoshantm]

Man, it's a very high level for a 1000 rated player.

[@hinyuchin4724]

16:32 well black successfully turn a losing position to a drawish position 17:50 a4 is the only drawing move for black. btw would you believe me if I tell you I saw all that as 1400?

[@farouqbaiti4315]

I also saw the brilliant moves as a 1200

[@dew9103]

No I won’t believe you because I’m 1400 and is far too dumb to actually see it lol

[@igorxyz8682]

10:54 stuid usless check from black f3 should be played

[@igorxyz8682]

typo 19:54

[@farouqbaiti4315]

15:00 White can play e6 and after Rxd6 White can play e7 and Black should play Re6.🤓 Right?😅

[@isaachamilton4378]

9:00 genuine question why is it not better to just push e5 rather than nd5 nxd5 exd5?

[@drewfenton866]

At 9:05, why not push to e5 to make the passed pawn?

[@jenniferhunter5433]

Over🎁 🔥🔥🔥

[@elperro3683]

That ain’t easy for us below-1500 players! I would never see that rook sacrifice!

[@Aris97x]

Is this a game between Grandmasters? They playes some crazy good moves

[@AvnielOngole]

Hi Nelson. Please play the new bots and the Mechanical Turk

[@Holidayl]

7 min ago is crazy

[@jingjingzhang8179]

18:20 My stockfish says that it is an easy win for black after Kc1 (Draw if Kd1). As after Rxh2 and Qd1, black can just push its passed a pawn, and white is unable to stop it. Somwhere in between ,black is able to pin the queen to white's king, capturing it on d1. Afterwards, black is able to promote the pawn on a1, and even though the white rook is able to capture it from a8 black can win the white rook right afterwards using Rh1+ and skewering the white rook (King is on d1 meaning it is too far from the rook), leading to black having an extra rook and pawn.

[@FluxedState]

Wow. Your stockfish

[@prithwishguha309]

Stockfish isn't Crazy At All, I'm Only 1600 And Even I Saw Rxb7, And precisely because you taught us yourself that pigs on the 7th is Dangerous And it's Almost the Same Situation, Rather I Would Argue That Rb3 is harder to See, And btw I Saw d6 too, it was difficult to See but I did Saw it, And Also did we even need the overload tactic in the End? Can't We Just block the file with the bishop?

[@user-dk7kq6cv2d]

Hello nelson

[@jineylixon8297]

You said don't move pawns in front of king but white move pawn to g3

[@yes51472]

theres always exceptions, he set the bishop on its place

[@floof6896]

because the bishop is gonna be fianchetto'd

[@dew9103]

Fianchetto is fair game

[@dew9103]

Excellent game, I’ll definitely be rewatching a few times for all the positional moves and tactics

[@callumfrew285]

I wish that I could have double-liked this video.

[@user-lp6yw6ii1x]

second

[@s--cn8ee]

I hate this type of positions That's why I rarely play it no matter how hard my opponent tries Chess is truly a boring game and is not worth your time if both sides do not try to play in an aggressive and innovative way.
