I love how Nelson doesn’t disparage anyone.

[@uttopya1]

Nor crush or destroy anyone!

[@TheRealMc99]

Yeah he is quite nice and considerate. Not cocky or too confident, and also gives props to lower rated players when they play good

[@darrylkassle361]

His a good wholesome Christian man that's why. Compare him to Hikaru who is basically Satan in his disrespect and the pride he has for himself!!!!

Nelson, these rating climb videos are so instructive. I am learning so much from them. I know I'll be going over them again and again. And I don't know who is complaining about your hour-long videos. I'm loving them.

[@wag343]

It's Nelson, he's the one complaining ;)

[@michaelmallen2691]

Really enjoying this series Nelson. Great explanations of the thought process behind each move.

[@Shaun_GTI]

BEST chess learning series on KZbin! I've watched everyone and will continue to watch - then re-watch all of them again to keep the learning going

[@noobie1301]

Nelson: how do I wanna play against the London Also Nelson many months ago: I mouse slip a new opening to crush the London

[@craigposthumus9931]

this is what i've been waiting for - my highest rating has been 1300, but currently stuck below 1200 due to stupid blunders mostly. cant wait to see the next few vids! would love to see more of the indian since that is what I basically exclusively play after taking your course... Keep it up!!

[@jomilliard]

I really love this series, been watching all of them. I enjoy your calm! I feel like I learn a lot, you make it look so easy! Thanks!

[@LiorAssouline]

We need more of this calm thinking time :)! Your thinking out loud is precious! Thanks for these videos!

[@learningisfun2108]

Another great video. I really enjoy hearing your thought processes. I believe I’m learning a lot about tactics and strategy in a fun way.

[@Sommers27]

Sad. I was really excited to see how that second game went. Also absolutely love this series. I love hearing your thought process and talking every move out. Going to become the chess coach at our school this year so seeing how to teach people how to play is incredibly helpful. Thank you for all you do for the community!

[@cookies23z]

been fantastic watching this series, learning tons I still find myself seeing a move and thinking "oh, do that!" and then seeing you call out why it wont work long term, or even before you mention it re-evaluating that it isnt nearly as good as it did at first glance. Also it is just fun and nice hearing you talk through your ideas of how and what to play

[@andypitz1]

I enjoy and benefit from you just thinking out loud for the entire game and analyses. So helpful, thank you Nelson

[@charleswalejewski6519]

[@G-chess_channel]

Yeah he makes great videos I mean I learn a tactic or two every day from him.

[@aymansyed1351]

Love the lessons and have been learning alot. I even noticed a back rank check mate. Had you left the bishop on C2 for his rook to take it would have been poison. Your black rook could then come up row 1 for check mate. Would not have seen this if it wasn't for your lessons. Thank you

[@TVGUY333]

I'd like to see the evaluation bar when the game is over and you are discussing the moves. You channel is growing on me. Thanks for all the fun.

[@edb8813]

Thanks for another educational video ❤

[@fishvitamins]

19:33 what about they takes the c2 pawn ? u can't take it because the rook is hanging and the knight also attack the rook on a1

[@WoodStyle_No_Jutsu]

yeah I was looking at that too.

[@BellCurvedEducation]

I was wondering this as well, but I’m a chess noob so there’s probably something I didn’t see

[@alienfromouterspace4981]

if Nxc2 then you play Rxc6 (Queen takes, you take the knight winning 2 knight for a pawn and a rook) if black continues to play Nxa1 then Rxb6 after he takes the rook you target the knight with your queen and his knight is trapped. I think I might miss some things.

[@ebereorisi4657]

Yep. He should make an extra video analysing this position. I'd love to see that.

[@pauladkisson1138]

I also think Nxc2 works the previous move at 18:44. If Re7, the queen just drops back to d8, and if you attack the knight with Rc1, it can take the d4 pawn. But maybe I’m missing something

[@skakdosmer]

When you played Qe2 to defend your rook on e6, I thought: wouldn't Nxc2 be an option? Your queen can't capture because she'll have to defend your rook. I know it gets complicated after Re7 Qd8 followed by Qe6+, and I haven't analysed it. But ... just a thought.

[@mearetom]

Yep, Black missed it, I saw it too.

[@WoodStyle_No_Jutsu]

I'm studying all these videos. In the future I'd love to challenge you. ( when I'm over 2000)

[@DanielSong39]

Challenge him at any point during the rating climb. You never know There was a 800 that took him deep into the endgame and missed a drawing move very late

​@@DanielSong39an 800? wasn't he smurfing?

[@DanielSong39]

@@alienfromouterspace4981 Either that or a new account probably But yeah he's had a number of close matches, several deep into the endgame and some of them had drawing chances

Good attitude mate. I'll play you both when I'M 2000. Only 1000 points to go 😂

[@_English_Learner]

What is your rating now?

[@joelcollander1973]

THANK YOU NELSON! I was stuck at 1900 for so long, but now I can actualy reach my goal of 1100!

[@johnnycakeslim]

I love how you do it even though its hard to follow you . Like trying to learn Chinese algebra being a thick headed Danish descendant who never learned to read or write so well ...but i can play a guitar like ringing a bell🤩✌️

[@pIANobarbarIAN]

“What a move by our opponent” Opponent: literally blundering checkmate

[@MrBabadis]

i'm really looking forward for you to get at the 1700 elo and see what's your thought prosess going to be there, cuz i'm having hard times to climb above 1750. great series!

[@darrylkassle361]

As I U derstand this is when you start buying courses and studying seriously if you want to improve . There are alot of club players that never get beyond 1800 if after study and playing all their life. Makes sense because you are in the top 10% ready. Even those that improve usually do so very very slowly like 50elo points every year and then they might peak at 2000-2100.

[@doctorprepper8106]

06:36 if white captures that bishop with rook it allows for checkmate from your center rook

[@mrfarhan2314]

The great thing about these videos of nelson. He's not trying to flex or do some wow moves or tactics he's just teaching us chess with basic principles. I'm getting better and better all credit goes to our teacher nelson. Keep the good work up ❤❤

[@joven_1018]

13:10 you can take the knight since he can't take it with the pawn because its pinned , you could win a knight and a rook with that move

[@feardatd7961]

3rd game. knight to c2 for black instead of knight d4 would have been good to see

[@promisekenz1565]

I love how you remained calm despite your time was drawing close.

[@allanshpeley4284]

Nelson, I love your vids and instructional style. One thing. Is there any way you could play wild gambits or ultra aggressive against these lower ranked players? Let's be honest, at 1000 elo, you really don't need to play this solid...and it would be super entertaining.

[@DaClintBeastWood]

Damn I really wanted to see that London game play out :( I don’t play the London, but find myself in games with similar positions all the time

5:00 castle queen side if knight forks at f7, d1 is mate

[@gm2407]

@17:00 ah I think black wanted to use the bishop and knight to attack the c2 square, but didn't realise that the bishop can be deflected.

[@keinlieb3818]

14:26 you played Bg5 and I was thinking Re5 and was wondering about your thoughts on that, sir.

[@ytcdi]

Nelson, for the last game, please comment on Nxc2, and Qxc2 is not possible, since Q is defending the rook

[@mythbusters866]

5:54 Stockfish say, best move to white is Nxc6

[@user-ns8bj7wh6v]

5:22 on clock you could’ve checkmate by letting him capture your bishop and then rook to d1 and its simple checkmate

[@rojavida]

18:17 what about Nxc2 here was this a consideration?

[@robertbrandywine]

I don't care how long your videos are because I watch as many games as I have time for and then stop until I'm ready to get back into it. Actually, if you had made this "slowrun" one huge video, it would have been very convenient for me.

[@kitrik23]

Please igotta know something,,,,at 6:41 when he threatened your bishop with his rook why didn't you let him take it then put him in checkmate with your rook to do...or am I missing something

[@BenPearson_kd7uiy]

1100s rarely blunder a piece on the spot, but often make tactical blunders. I should know, that's my range these days;-) I've actually been going up recently, maybe because I'm watching this series?

[@bogdancoman91]

I went up as well. Same range as this videos. Maybe because of this series. So thank you for creating this content, which is cool to watch and I’m also learning something.

[@allanshpeley4284]

Say what? Dude, 1100s blunder pieces all the time. But I do agree the higher up you get the more the blunders become tactical.

[@BenPearson_kd7uiy]

@@allanshpeley4284 I blunder a piece every few games, I blunder tactics almost every game. But I play long time formats, so...

[@RS-handle]

18:33 knight taking C2 is the move for black. didn't you consider that?

[@highindex]

I especially appreciate that you always assume that your opponent is just as strong as you before you make a move. In a way it's almost like you're playing against yourself.

[@arrowofkira5658]

I'm kinda sad we didn't get to see the london game completely. Btw if white knows their openings they're supposed to play Nc3 instead of b3, which yes it seems like it hangs the pawn on b2 but if Qxb2 you have Nb5 and you aim to target the c7 square with a fork on rook and king. There are also some other variations where the black queen can get trapped if they take on b2 but not that many people play the early c5 against the london in the intermediate levels. I highly encourage everyone to look at those early c5 lines because there's a chance white just has no idea what to do and plays b3 which can backfire very quickly.

[@james762638]

If you're up material then trade? At 6:33 why not rook to d1 and then take with your bishop?

[@PizzaSlices2000]

At 13:43 couldn't you take the knight with the bishop, and when the queen recaptures, you win a tempo?

[@himani9437]

5:51 pawn to g5 if they takes then we can win a bisop or knight

[@danmud-pn4bj]

At 6:35 is it not better to send rook to his back rank and force his last rook off the board and simplify?

[@djravenation]

In 19:50 as Black the knight can capture pawn on c2. If the queen takes, the rock is hanging... maybe I am wrong?

[@Kazakis41]

6:45 i will not take pawn i will play a random move because if he takes a bishop checkmate on d1

[@tusharawasthi7940]

I love watching u

[@axileus9327]

Nxc2 would have worked earlier because the Queen was the only thing defending the rook and was also defending c2.

[@user-wz5um9oz4f]

One thing I always see is that your opponents have more time left than you and end up losing. The first game is a good example. How much time did your opponent take before blundering the knight at 7:45? 8 seconds. No time to think at all. It seems people don’t like to think and calculate on this rating. That’s why they stuck here.

[@condor07usa]

18:15 am I missing something or black could have taken that free pawn at with Nb4xc2

[@HeadSpaceCreations]

What about in the last game pd4 to d5 to protect the rook and fork the knight Gain a twmpo

[@GreatUSTreasureHunt]

Your final opponent didn't take the time necessary in more complicated positions

[@tehioruapuna2817]

if you left your bishop there and he took you had a chance to backrank checkmate

[@venkatachengalvala4289]

What did I learn 🤔? ✳️Develop your pieces ✳️Control the center ✳️Don't make unnecessary checks ✳️watch out for Forks ✳️Watch out for pins ✳️Don't sacrifice or move your pawns unless necessary except the d and e files ✳️Castle the king at the right time ✳️A successful attack is when you have more materials than your opponent ready for attack ✳️Often, Double pawn means weakness
