47:00 Blackburne-Shilling gambit game is a similar idea to the fried liver trap you showed us. I've won several games with the latter, but never tried the Blackburne-Shilling. Thank you!

[@zzzaphod8507]

This was great to have both some games from a book and your current games in the same video. Hopefully you can continue this at some point in the future. Some of the old games may have unrealistic blunders, but it might still be worth going through some of them from time to time. Maybe you can read through the games in the book in advance and pick the most relevant ones.

[@derpymoose9948]

Very interesting episode. More of this format (book and then play) please. Thank you

[@JamesReily]

This was great! You have my vote to do more. 😀

[@Overkill9991]

Same

[@levistepanian5341]

that was a quirky pawn game. a pretty potential ending

[@glazedyeti2993]

Idea for next speed run: go until you hit a new PR. The end could be frustrating but the drama will be fun to watch. PR can be format specific, so you can pick the most realistic time format for you. Or choose whatever rules to make it realistic

[@Parson2]

The "Cow" opening Knight moves not getting allot of love early on

[@roblodocus2539]

I wonder if the pole was slightly influenced by there being more people around at the end that had only seen the games 🤷‍♂️ Either are great, the games are always a winner, but the games in that book were really neat too.

[@mrnelgin]

Game 2 with the knight removed is almost an advantage because that's one less piece to defend, one less to develop, so you only have to move the bishop to castle. I saw a similar game without a queens rook and instantly that's one attacking bishop threat you don't have to deal with.

[@Nutslap]

The book was fun and interesting. You can always through in some of those before, in between, or after your rapid games

[@willbishop1355]

33:30 not exactly a "free queen" as you gave up a knight and bishop for the queen, but I guess that's still enough in a game between masters.

[@timm439]

23:20 The Mate-in-3 I found was Nf5 instead of Ne2 and I think that works as well.

[@zzzaphod8507]

Love the old school notation!

[@jworcest2]

At 54m, I think Bb5 first does work if it's followed by Be3. The problem with Be3 first is Qa5, if Bb5 first the queen has nowhere to run after Be3. It's not quite as good as b4 since you likely give up two pieces for the queen instead of one (if black played Bd7 instead of Nc6), but still pretty good.

[@mrnelgin]

I didn't watch the steam live, but I was like you to do a couple of games and then do some live games to try them out. That way we get the best of both worlds, and it'll stretch it out so there'll be lots of content.

[@yyyy-uv3po]

Game 14 was my favorite. What a fun book!

[@OverNine9ousend]

If this stream showed you anything, its that DEVELOPING right away is the most important thing in chess. And Not putting your knight in front of the queen, that too. :D

[@tonyregan288]

The fastest correspondence game ever was possibly 1 move. Depends how you view this situation: As the players agreed to play the black player said he will play 1...g6 and 2...Bg7 against anything. So White opened 1 b3 and black resigned. Lol

[@creatingonthemargins1089]

Great video

[@LordSluggo]

All I had growing up were my dad's old chess books so I actually originally learned on old-school notation in the 90's

[@Llanchlo]

I actually won a game with mate about 10 days ago without moving any original pieces. I was W - opened d4 as usual and B played the lousy Engulnd gambit - e5. I took. d6 and I took. I can't remember the full details after that but he brought his Q out trying for a quick mate. I had to do a few pawn blocks but in between took on c7 and b8, promoted to a Q and managed to mate with that Q without moving any other piece.

[@chriselcombe847]

I liked having both the book and the games in one video.

[@daboffey]

Have you tried playing against Martin by only playing pawns?

[@cristif92]

game 5 - that italian opening it's pretty dangerous in this format :D

[@KenFullman]

32:57 White isn't forced to take the knight. He could have simply moved the queen out of harms way. Yes he'd have lost a rook but the knight is (at least temporarily) trapped. You shouldn't resign simply because you lost a rook.

[@wilkowyluke7979]

The queen can defend the rook as well.

[@user-dj1lj6tn4l]

Anyone tell in game 3 as the king was on b3 can we move the knight on c4 to e3 as the Bishop will give discovered check and also the c2 square ( which was an escape square ) is now covered. Suggest corrections. An amateur.

[@SomaChatterjee-kd6hd]

11:14 Actually Nelson made a video of this checkmate before where he gave us for option to choose....

[@josem-1-2-3]

2:46 Correction, it's Queen to Rook 4 you 100 elos.

[@daboffey]

In the correspondence game, couldn't white play Q-R4+?

[@peteneville698]

In Game #3 the "forced" mate hinges on the initial pawn move being played in response to Q-R5 yet K-K2 can also be played and is winning for white but I couldn't see a forced mate. Edit: I found one! Mate in seven:- Q-R5, K-K2; Q-B2+, K-Q3; N(on B3)-N5+, KxN(on K4): Q-Q5+, K-KB4; p-Q3+, K-KN4; p-R3+, K-R4; p-KN3# In new money that's Qg5, Ke7; Qf7+, Kd6; Nb5+, KxN(e5); Qd5+, Kf4; d3+, Kg4; h3+, Kh4, g3#

[@djtrainspotter3079]

This is great! More plz.

[@rogerremus6053]

at 1:14:49 Q to A7 - rook is toast. Is that good? Loved this post - ordered the book. Thank you for all you do.

[@andrewbennett5911]

Hi Nelson , I was brought up using the old " descriptive " notation & coming back to chess after 40+ years took a while to get used to the algebraic . Now I'm more used to it , I prefer it as it is far less complicated & looking back at old school matches I played in 1970 's , I made so many errors in recording games , that many were " spoiled " trying to replay them ! Loving these short games but couldn't watch live as I'm in England , but did wake up to it 🥳 . Many thanks for doing this , it's fascinating !! Wonder if playing a knight in front of king /queen was in vogue in those days ? Thanks again.

[@ddc7668]

Love this !!!!!! Makes great opening even if not immediate mate. Won 3 Nil - partner in shock 😮 what just happened ⚡️ v quick massacre 🙌

Is it just me or on 36:47 man just ignored the d2 knight move?

Q-R5 not H4. Old Notation is Better.

[@qazyguy]

Don't MIX Notation!!!

[@bobhicks8404]

Book and games

[@handsome_man69]

❤❤❤

[@GregS-fh5zh]

“Old” notation makes perfect sense, and is a lot more descriptive than the current system.

[@stevefeak5696]

I would argue they are the same level of descriptiveness. Both describe the location on the board.

[@killallbots1012]

I like that with descriptive notation, we can keep track on the captured pieces much easier.

[@gustavovargas6656]

I prefer the old one.

[@timm439]

Much more confusing.. it requires translating to where the pieces begin on the board, and the same square is referenced in completely different ways depending on the side.

[@LordSluggo]

@@timm439 the fact that you have to change your "view" with each move is the biggest annoyance and if you're a kid (like I was) it causes a ton of confusion

[@Chomta]

Pawn one was pure disappointment xD

[@handsome_man69]

I love you, very deeply
