Stuck at 100 "not if you are willing to buy this" would be more honest. I understand it's how you earn a living but...it isn't "not anymore". It's "if your willing to spend money to improve".

One of Nelson's real strengths is his conciseness and organization. No rambling. That was a LOT of content in that 30 min. Thanks Nelson!

Every time I search for something new to add to my understanding of chess I find myself clicking on Chess Vibes. Nelson seems to honestly be trying to share and teach tactics, strategy, and an understanding of the game. He is not trying to entertaining, to be funny, to be goofy - all of which I find annoying and distracting. He is striving to be informative and helpful. This game is hard, complicated, and tricky to play well. Nelson never promotes himself, gives false promises or quick fixes. He is like a good friend who is simply a way better player and he tells you what you need to work on to get better. I have played over 300 games in the last few months and this video is my favourite so far. Thanks man.

[@ngomusoqwabe4684]

Lol he ignored you.🤣🤣🤣🤣after writing a book about him

[@SudiptaBan]

That's so true - he guides like a good friend who is way better , and tells you what you need to work on. Feel absolutely the same 👌

great lesson for intuitive players... I get tired of so many videos that requires you to spend 80 hours analyzing variations for a specific line. This lesson is great for when your opening goes way off and you are trying to figure out how to swing the game your way !! Thanks!!!

[@kevinheinrich8443]

These principle videos are sooooo insanely useful! And seem maybe unique to your channel. Keep it up!!

[@PatandSylus]

They remind me alot of the chessbrahs habits series. This style of highlighting specific things that you can practice is really useful for getting better.

[@5thfloor584]

@@PatandSylus do you still watch that series? And is it worth it to visit that channel if i'm already watching this channel?

[@thatfamousscientist9786]

It helps me hugely too

[@_gr1nchh]

11:40 . This clarified so much as to why I see GMs not take strong pieces when you are simply moving a pawn to take it. Chess is so simple but so complex at the same time. I don't understand the defense and counter side and reading what your opponent is trying to do. I simply think of attack. This is a great video.

[@detectiveh7399]

I've only recently discovered your channel, it has to be the most underrated chess channel on KZbin. Thanks for all this great content and amazing advice

[@ChessVibesOfficial]

Welcome aboard!

[@johanqin]

Wow, that Anderson game was just brilliant. What a great example, thank you.

[@moniqueheubel8970]

Wow- just -wow. I love the way you organize your ideas and explain them in away that just clicks for me.

[@tarsem3258]

my goodness the amount of value you give to your viewers is insane!

[@hisuianzoroark5726]

Great speakers establish common ground with their audience, as well as mentally enlighten their spectators. Nelson is no different, except for the fact that he's doing a chess speech.

[@crazypomp927]

#13. Have enough pieces I like Rozman Rule for this one. Have two more attackers than the opponent has defenders

[@rosiefay7283]

I typically don't get this luxury.

[@ShlomoWeasenthal]

Your videos have helped my game out a lot, especially the 23 checkmate patterns, I've used all of them before but never knew there were names for each pattern

[@andrewmays3988]

Love your positive attitude and very proactive tesching style. You are definitely one of the finest chess advocates and instructors on the internet. Thank you ! Keep up your great work!!😇

[@pacunnet3760]

Thank you. A free online tutorial for beginners. Continue your great work sir. Big applause 👏 🙌 👌 🙏 from Philippines 🇵🇭

[@Jamsville]

Great video! really enjoy lessons that give you more general concepts to look out for, which is a lot easier than trying to memorize complex lines.

[@sharonjuniorchess]

#4 - Basic tactics required How do you improve on tactical skills? I try to do daily puzzles where you have to find the best move. Any other suggestions?

[@ChessVibesOfficial]

That's the best way - lots of tactics puzzles. You can also analyze your games with the computer to see where you went wrong.

[@steverushnet]

Where can you find those puzzles?

[@darrylkassle361]

“All those things combined and we ...WE ARE JUST WINNING YEAH”- For some reason as true as that was I found it very funny!! Almost like he was convincing himself As per usual another practical real world chess video. Nelson just goes from strength to strength

[@shanefell8111]

Watched a couple of your vids now. Probably the best I’ve seen for anyone up to my level (2100) You squeeze a lot of valuable info that’s easily understandable into each minute. It’s the way you communicate. Good stuff mate

[@timblessing2815]

One of the more basic (and quite useful) videos I have seen. The teaching style is excellent. Thank you.

[@moosequeen]

Your videos are so helpful. Straight to the point, no wasting time, getting across this knowledge at the fastest speed possible, while we can still follow along with what youre explaining. amazing videos.

[@layschips3252]

Your videos are incredibly helpful! I love these type of videos that cover a broad subject that isn't just for very niche uses and I can apply them to every game

[@CM-nm4ov]

THE BEST CHESS TEACHER ON YOU TUBE! Finally, I understand the game of chess. Thank you Nelson!!!!

[@andypitz1]

I’ll watch this repeatedly and watch my rating and enjoyment level rise. Thanks Nelson

[@casino144]

I just came across this video. Haven't watched yet, but I sure hope that happens to me as well.

[@Bsn8810500]

His videos are so informative and strategic, I just started a month ago and watching just a few videos is giving me upper hand over people that gave been playing years.

[@themadrazorback2019]

Simply excellent principles-based learning. Something often lacking in chess instruction. Thanks!

[@philosophicallyspeaking6463]

Newly come to them, I believe Chess Vibes are the best chess tutorials on KZbin hands down! Nelson says neither more nor less than is necessary, and the pace is matched to the intended audience (a rare thing) and conducive not only to the consumption of the material at hand, but also to its digestion. His delivery is at all times measured and engaging. Thanks for these! "A good attacker has courage." You've got to have a bit of faith! But more importantly, and often missing from the game these days...is to venture a bit of 'fun' on route to exploring the game's and your opponent's reach. Otherwise what is the point! The goal of any game is not so much to win, but to learn something by measure of the opponents potential to use in assessment 'outside' the game. Sacrifice a game to win an ongoing friendship!

[@RM-zj5sx]

You’re a good teacher. I appreciate your concise direct messaging. My attention span is geared toward speed and you are very helpful with keeping me attentive. Thank you

[@saiyanmacho]

Mr.Lopez you’re the best chess tutorial maker in KZbin for me. It’s hard to apply many of them in short time as I often blunder but I feel like I am going somewhere even though I am in lower levels dealing with scholars mate constantly

[@marcusminifee3978]

Thanks Nelson, your true strength is instructional videos!!! Awesome job…

[@ajarnray4115]

Very good video and I loved that you included one of your own games to show how it is done. Excellent content I think these principle videos are the best for us to learn from. Thanks for the upload.

[@darrenwalters9886]

I am not a strong player, because I could play a million games, and never think that sacrificing two rooks, leaving back rank completely undefended, and responding with weak pawn pushes, and culminating with a Queen sacrifice, would ever make sense.

[@kennethturner8290]

Paul Morphy is good to study for attacking. Morphy was considered genius because he simply understood development and initiative were even more important than material.

[@beri4138]

What a stupid thing to say. Greco won by sacrificing pieces 250 years before Morphy.

[@kennethturner8290]

@@beri4138 ? Which part was stupid ? I'm sure Greco was great as well but how does that change anything I said?

[@jameswood3580]

Love morphy games. Was way ahead of his time.

[@Buttsmoker]

@@beri4138 Yeah but the gift is pretty easy to spot even for intermediate players back then. Most of Morphys attacks made no sense until they suddenly revealed themselves. He was the first of his kind in that respect.

[@davideubanks6320]

Clear and direct with not too many “what-ifs” clouding the message.

[@HappyHalBallard]

Hey Nelson wondering if you have any suggestions for REMEMBERING this material. Not only this one, but your other videos, openings etc. I am thinking of maybe playing some of it out on a board, writing some notes, trying in games as often as possible. Do you have anything that's worked particularly well for you and your students? Thanks for the terrific content!

[@williamfortneymusic]

Nelson has a talent for explaining concepts in a way I can understand and immediately implement in my games. I am up 80 points in Rapid since subbing this channel.

I think your channel will be massive too and it will all be thanks to quality content do you should be very proud of that. Thank you very much for the lessons

[@wisdomencouraged9326]

This is absolutely fantastic I've been playing since 1996 and have read about bobby Fischer Garry Kasparov and read so many notations studied many developments read books of chess. This video is magic it's explanation of all the things a chess player needs information from learners, intermediate and strong players I would catergorize myself as a intermediate level , learning manuevers developing strategies, hidden attacks, pins, skewers, discovery attacks and many more and I'm still learning thankyou sooo much 🙏

Nice video and good review for some fundamental attacking ideas :)

[@stephenclouse4619]

Good video! I understood everything and I plan to rewatch and take notes. There were moves in here that I've seen a few times but never in that combination- such with the Bishop to f7, Queen to h5 and knight to e5. These and other opportuinities for attack were right in front of me all this time, yet it took videos like this from Chess Vibes and Nelson Lopez to point it out! I'm going to be watching a few of these!

Nelson, another great video. When it comes to "how much is enough", point #13, I coined an expression: "The James 2 piece rule". In essence, it states if the attacking pieces exceed the defending pieces by 2, the attacker get through.
