15 Clever Tactics to watch out for in your next game. These are common, but tricky and will make you a better chess player!

[@TheAaronC1994]

This man is so talented he is fitting a ladder in a tool box

[@kingduckfilms]

I thought this was meant as a metaphorical sense before I watched the video, but now I'm not sure

[@ChessVibesOfficial]

😂

[@shaykarni4850]

Yeah but in his chess tookbox he fit the entirety of Noah’s Ark

[@1SpudderR]

Hmm? Conservatory.....more like.

[@Bobbing4Fries]

It's his step ladder. He never knew his real ladder.

[@yyyyyk]

This may be the best chess tutorial that I've ever seen, and I've seen hundrends if not thousands. It's perfect for my level. Thank you so much, Nelson!

[@ChessVibesOfficial]

Glad it helped! Thanks for the compliment!

Nelson : "I am in chess since 30 years" Also him : looks like 30 years old, lol

[@jakeoswald8017]

I’m pretty sure he’s early 30’s and has just been playing since he was young

[@Ben-xj6su]

I went out and bought a bunch of tools like he said to do and I'm still not better at chess :(

[@LemonInYourEyes]

It's one thing to see and learn these tactics with puzzles. It's another thing (and much more valuable) to hear about it from someone else with examples and general principles. This should be required viewing IMO!

The #6 wasn't that great. It was a rook and a bishop for a queen.

Nelson this is something that needs to be watched probably once a week as a reminder. I think we know many of these but its the reinforcement, you made it so easy to watch. you are great teacher

[@peterbrown6224]

What an excellent summary - thank you, Nelson.

[@EIIlast2791]

This was honestly a quality video, good job

[@dkpandey1996]

I learned most of these tactics after missing them in my games and puzzles. Great video, summarizing some important themes in as little as 15 minutes.

[@InfernalLegion84]

Nice vid :) As a 1550-1600 rapid I feel like I miss some of those waay to often. I'd say 1, 2, 4, 7, and from 9 to 13 are the types I usually see almost instantly, the rest I was like 'wait a sec, that's actually possible'. Good to see the channel growing :). I'm looking at older uploads and some good stuff there too :). Glad I found this channel :D

[@botramduuze7188]

Great video! Please expand on this with more tactical patterns. Thanks Nelson

[@JM-gz1cp]

I do puzzles every day and I still learned something. Great job as always nelson.

[@AndreLuiz931]

at 14:21, you can checkmate by moving Qe8, then black plays Kg7 and Queen finalize with Qg8. This video is very good!

[@langlinaiseiou]

Great video! You explain everything concisely but easy to understand and there’s very little “filler”. Keep it up your channel will go far. Btw commenting to help with the algo and will continue to do so

[@ChessVibesOfficial]

I appreciate that!

[@TheRealChiults]

I already knew everything you taught in this video because I watched the whole Peter-Patzer climb :) Thanks a lot, Nelson! Already went from 500 to 840 on rapid after your videos, and will keep rising :) (Yeah I know this one vid is older)

[@sooooooooDark]

5:37 checking with the queen (b6) might even be better since the only square the king can go to (c8) would also result in a king/queen fork (with an even better position for white) 😋

[@flavioaugustojose]

@KrBoV if Qb6, the black king has to go to c8. Then Nd6 forks the king and queen, like soooooDark said above. Only then the black king can move to d7. Then NxQf7 and the black king has to move back to c8 otherwise the white queen takes c6 with check, forking the black king and the rook. If the king stays in d7 and doesn't move the rook, just Qb7 checks him and takes the rook. The position is totally busted with Qb6...

[@flavioaugustojose]

@KrBoV the king is on b7, so he can't go to d7. I meant Qb6 after sacrificing the rook, such as we can see by the time mark above. Though if you don't sacrifice your rook you don't need to, you can just bring Qb6 and, after Kd7, Qb7 would give you a free rook...

[@tomjordan4123]

@@flavioaugustojose the king isn't on b7, it's on c7, thus d7 is possible. But it's a better position because then you take the rook and skewer the queen eventually.

[@Sm1lerino]

Qb6+ really looks like a far better move. If Kd7 Qb7+, and there are no good squares left for the king to protect the queen. I think it’s an Easter egg from Nelson for those who are desperately looking for a better move :)

[@zat1245]

@KrBoV Pretty sure they meant Qb6+ after Rb7+ sacrifice. Meaning the king is brought to b7 THEN check to push it to c8. HOWEVER, I do believe Qb6+ instead of Rb7+ sacrifice is actually better. Yes, if Qb6+, Kd7 avoids the fork like you said but you simply follow up with Qb7+ making a skewer on the queen. If the king tries to protect the queen with Ke8, they are now walking into a fork with Nd6+. If instead they try to avoid the fork and still protect the queen with Ke6, Re1+ deflects the king away and the queen is lost still. Queen taken, no sacrifice needed. But that’s chess. Sometimes there are loads of ideas available and you can get caught up in one plan when a better one exists. It’s all advantage in the end, so it’s not a big deal most times.

I love how in each position he's giving as example, there can be found a better move or continuation than the one about the tactical idea he's explaining. Real life demonstration of applying the maxim "when you find a good, look for a better one'

[@nighthawk984]

Thanks for another excellent video. You continue to provide the tools for my toolbox and thus help to improve my game. Unfortunately, though the hammer you have provided me keeps missing its target and I once again smash my thumb (blunder another piece). As the expression goes "its a poor tradesman who blames his tools". Keep on providing me with the tools and will work on using them better.

[@brainfellow5140]

Thanks for the video, well done, liked the toolbox analogy. Any chance you could do a video on deciding move-order? It's one of my biggest weaknesses - I'll have a great plan for an attack or a tactic, but I'll often get the moves out of sequence and it costs me games.

[@thomasawdffaw123]

honestly, the best way to work on this is to calculate every sequence. It is tedious, but after a while you will get the hang of it and it gets easier
