Why Pawn Moves Are DANGEROUS

[@jimmytaco6738]

Well, I’m certainly never moving my pawns ever again!

[@Lemaus433]

Pawn storms are probably the most powerful tactic that players 1500 and under, under estimate.

[@_mevt.33]

It's quite hard to play with only 2 knights

[@looserunfortunately]

😅​@@_mevt.33

[@looserunfortunately]

​@@_mevt.33he will let opponent to take his pawn so that other pieces can move😂

[@KingAdamXVII]

@@looserunfortunatelyHe can capture, too. When put that way it kind of sounds brilliant!

[@StreamAddict-t2i]

We raise our 5 yr old great granddaughter. She has been watching me play on the iPad and we both have been watching your videos. The other day she brings me her iPad wanting me to download Chess for her. After downloading it we played her 1st game. That’s all this girl talked about the rest of the nite. Now when she gets home from preK she will bring her iPad wanting to play. I just wanted to say thank you sir. Job well done.

[@ChessVibesOfficial]

Love it!

[@awang_ir]

That "breaking 1500" intro is cool, even cooler with the kinda luxury sound chime

[@roblodocus2539]

I can’t believe we’ve reached the end of Logical Chess already. Great book, I’ve definitely learned a lot from it. If I wasn’t using the engine it was fun to practice my board visualisation too. Really looking forward to this next book. Will get it on order!

[@timm439]

Great compromise in the book choice - kudos for taking the time to think through what would be best and not being afraid to choose what makes sense even if not the first choice (it was a close 2nd anyway). Love your content, Nelson!

[@williamsquires3070]

The one thing about chess; it’s always been a contest - not just of wills - but of compromise. Each move (especially pawns) has benefits and drawbacks. The trick is to know which is more important in the position.

[@Petrochess]

This is one of the most excellent and instructive episode of them all, hardly ever paused the video as often and as long. Furthermore, I'm happy to see an endgame book winning last week's contest, even though "100 endgames you must know" was my favorite. Thumbs up Nelson for your brilliant piece of work!

[@Ash_Rahmani]

This was a great series. Looking forward to the next one.

[@williamsquires3070]

I don’t know why, but this video made me come up with a name for a character in Nelson’s chess adventures story, “Mongoose” Carlsen. Let’s see Bobby Fisherman, Joe Average, and Peter Patzer encounter a mongoose named Carlsen (2800+ rating!) 😅

[@davidarrasmith6709]

Hey Nelson, thanks to your videos I'm almost 1900 in rapid. One thing that holds me back is I never studied chess openings. I've found that can happen to you if you deviate from your norm as well so I thought it would be awesome for viewers and you if you did some videos talking about openings.

[@mitch9237]

This video popped up on my Xbox a day early, even tho it's unlisted. Lucky me!

[@suyashpandit5057]

32:58 Qxf8 is just checkmate right away

[@skiesofarcadia4885]

Hey Nelson, just thought I'd share that in the 100 Endgames book, the author suggests the following endgames as being appropriate for players up to 1900-2000 rating, so I thought I'd point this out as being good for your viewers for the supplemental content you mentioned: "Chapter 1 and Endings 41, 42, 44, 45, 46, 65, 79, 80, 82, 86, 89, 90, 91 and 92"

[@MichaelPeters-o4z]

Most pawn moves, to me, seem mysterious. This is wonderful instruction that helps demystify things a bit. Thank you!

[@r33th]

@28:30 I am very happy to say I also came up with h4 using very similar thought process!

[@xpump876]

@31:15 -- Instead of moving W-Q to E6 another good move would be to move W-Rook from D6 to D8 - from my perspective. Around this point in the game white is pretty much out of options

[@randysmith8515]

Thank you, Nelson, for all of your preparation and explanations in these games from the book, Logical Chess. They have been helpful, and I have been working to incorporate the various principles in my games. Progress is slow, but I am making progress and am not giving up. I'm looking forward to the next series going through Silman's Endgame Course.

[@examplepubgmobile6258]

Great video, I'm excited about a new book already , good job 👍

[@Lemaus433]

100 end games you must know sounds like a great follow up

[@electricsunshine5402]

Loved this series, Nelson. I ordered the complete endgames book, and I'm getting psyched up for the next one. You've helped to get to 1300 on my rapid and 1482 on my daily games. Watched all of Peter Patzer and everything since. Thank you for doing what you do. Wish you and your family all the good things.

[@BeammeupSpotty]

very nice analysis. Thanks for sharing!!!!

[@462735]

You have the best educational chess content on the internet! This is better than Levy, better than Naroditsky, simply the best!

[@vicclark6275]

Totally agree. Nelson is calm, humble and instructive. On par with Eric Rosen

[@GeorgeSmyth]

The Silman book is also available on Chessable, so that is another option.

[@aaronfeldman3380]

GREAT series, I learned so much! Thank you!

[@Muladeseis]

Thank you very much.

[@sanchi_vlogs5290]

(1) Sir why center squares are important (2) How can I trick and trap my opponents (3) How many years you were playing this game (4) Please play other strategy games like RISK .

[@DanielSong39]

Small World is similar to Risk but much shorter! Definitely recommend Alicematic Heroes is another area strategy game that's not too long

[@Orbalisk]

Most informative series I’ve seen on KZbin. I love the active learning and having a common goal to work through

[@DCthePro3]

26:00 onwards, the most instructive part of this video. Thank you for improving my chess with your amazing videos❤

[@ObePawnKenobi]

Really good video Nelson. Learned a lot.

[@jjchessy]

Thanks man, really enjoyed this series. I have the endgame book at home but I'm working at sea until March next year so looking forward to the new series!!!

[@Ola-rb7rz]

Hello Nelson, many thanks for all the Videos dealing each chapter of this book. I am really a poor chess player and would give a lot to be an advanced player. Here is what I appreciate the most in your Videos: all moves Look logical and "easy", you can find an argument why a move is better than another. This is the ability I will train and hope to develop/improve. Thanks for all, looking forward the videos on endgames! Regards from Germany

[@IsaacDeJong]

Really loved this series and found it very helpful. Looking forward to the next book.

[@kkkelti]

18:00 found it although I spent like 15 minutes figuring it out. Also didn't see the entire line, just that it opened the option to attack the king. Lucky guess I suppose. I did not see the checkmate ahead and I would never have played nor seen that in a game.

[@huzzl3614]

Hey Nelson, any chance you'll make another puzzle rush video explaining your thoughts? Those have similar vibes to the rating climb, i.e., starting with the basics and becoming progressively harder.

[@BenjaminFloyd-m3f]

Thanks for this series! It's been super informative!

[@kingsolo6241]

Another thing I noticed is centralizing the queen in front of the enemy pawn, ‘that moved forward’, gave the queen a shield and a powerful position throughout the mid-game.

[@alexalters1861]

love this series, when i started watching you when the series began i was at about 1200 and now i just won my game to pass 1900. very instructive series and great lessons all around

[@anassorbestiak]

This was the best, most instructive, better explained video I've ever seen.❤

[@stellakemner4847]

That was fun! Thank you very much. I'm looking forward to see you presenting your own book, "A journey through the hidden land". Happy that you continue!❤

[@Alan.92n]

Thanks Nelson for your Logical Chess games from the book. Bought it, great book. Enjoyed your analysis of each game. I voted for Silman's book but good idea to look at 100 Endgames, as you say, as well! Chess Vibes has helped my chess, really appreciate your channel and content. 😊 👍

[@linardsdavletsins69]

Amazing video as always with details 💯✅ can't wait when we will do next book. Every weak Fridays are amazing for me as I'm watching you video ❤

[@charleshepburn794]

@chessvibes at the moment in the game that h4 was played, could f4 follow by f5 if the c-rook doubled up or if exf4 then QxRook have also been good moves?

[@Noko099]

Learned a lot from this series/book. Thanks a lot!

[@timosaareste8655]

I look forward to your next series. Your ability to explain and help us follow along is tremendous. Thank you and look forward to helping my end games 👍

[@mbart]

After trading bisshop (15:29) it seems to me that Rd7 followed by Qf5 create quite some pressure on black. But I have to look the rest, most probably it will turn out to be a much worse choice indeed.

[@dylanmcintire7677]

Can you make the chess board not go all the way to the edge of the screen. On my TV (and I assume every LG thinQ) the KZbin app cuts off a little of the screen and it eliminates the option to zoom to fill on phones. If not no big deal.

[@CephalonYurei]

Doing god’s work Nelson🙏 your videos have helped me in way no one else’s have and it’s clear to see that many of us here feel the same way

[@5gearz]

I’ve been reading through Silman’s complete endgame course and it’s a pretty good book, introducing endgames in a way that you can understand and actually use

[@vinsanity982]

It’s funny, I just started reading Silman’s a couple of weeks ago. I won my first game a couple of days ago, specifically because of knowledge I gained from the book. I ended up in a drawn king and pawn endgame. First of all, I recognized that it was a drawn position. However, I also recognized that in order for it to be drawn, my opponent would need to know the right moves to force the draw. So I tactically moved my king a couple of times until my opponent made a mistake and gave me the opposition back. Then I was able to queen the pawn and win

[@kazgre1998]

at 08:50 could we just move pawn to h4 to kick the queen and then take knight?

[@ericpetersman1389]

Quality video my man. Masterfully done

[@nb-eq6rw]

Love the intro. Keep up the grind bro

[@TaliaferoBooker]

Hey Nelson thank you very much for this series. i have learnt so much and cant wait for what is next❤. Could you please do a special episode that helps us pick openings appropriate for our elo. I am now stuck in 1900 and cant find the right opening

[@RalphSalem-l4b]

11:00 can we also play Nb5 instead of Nd5?

[@benjamingrunbaum3601]

Yay! Silman's Engames!

[@jaybird1806]

@28:33 What about Rd8

[@Calibrownsfan]

I think this was an excellent choice. Silman's book is going to help people of all levels!

[@crazyboysince1998]

Just remember when smothered mating to do the knight check first, because when i first had it on the board I played queen g8 check not defended and he played king takes queen instead of rook takes and I died inside a little bit that day.

[@willemm9356]

So after the explanation of the line where the queen ends up on on d5 and the rook on a5 wouldn't it have been better at 16:00 to take that bishop with the queen in the first place?

[@FloydBoudreaux]

Make sure you all play over the 2 games in which the strategic genius, Akiba Rubinstein, beat both the Great Lasker and Capablanca with the move Qc1 !

[@Random_bozo27vers2]

Thank you nelson for all of your useful videos. I got through 1500 in just a day (not to the breaking 1500) but your vidoes definitly helped!❤️

[@gagavon9237]

What an incredible lesson

[@jacobgallimore8746]

Great video Nelson! Appreciate all the teaching as always and being accommodating to my 900 elo brain

[@TheD00mDuck]

thank you for the game reviews. they are very good presented and I think I learned a couple of things, that I hope will be able to use in my own games some day. I‘m very happy that you have picked the Silman book to discuss next, because I think that I‘m to weak to take away much from the 100 endgames.

[@goodspellr1057]

For some reason, my comment on last week's video was deleted. In that comment I suggested that you supplement your endgame videos with some features from the world's most famous chess website (I think naming it gets my comment deleted). That website has sections with endgame practice drills where you (and your viewers) can test your understanding of a certain endgame theme against the engine. Some of the drills correspond closely with the endgames in those two books. It would be instructive to either show yourself playing through the corresponding drill in real time, or to recommend specific drills as "homework".

[@mrnonoman]

I love this series! I'm mad that as soon as I was about to click off the video you said "don't go anywhere" and I listened haha.

[@Chechov-t9f]

I am so excited for the next series about endgames 🎉

[@viktor4840]

Yes! Endgames! 😎

[@williamsquires3070]

Oh, good. I’m glad he’s going to cover Silman’s endgame book, as I already have it. That way, I don’t have to buy anything! 😊

[@danbarkles8499]

You should do a reaction video on that one election that just happened.

[@AmirulAsyraf-mq7bx]

Is this video under one playlist?

[@mikemurad7490]

I cant thank you enough for every ting I have learned from your videos.

[@billyfarrington374]

Logical Chess was great, but I will probably skip the endgame books. If I make it to an endgame I am usually good to go.

[@gagavon9237]

Also pawns move backwards when I play chess

[@christianfrost8660]

I wonder if the Endgame books will see more games that involve a player Castling Queen Side?

[@K5cz]

Amazing!!! Chess is hard 🙈

[@Miguel23080]

moving a pawn is like making life decisions, they always give good and bad consequences

[@jimnf6780]

Lots of pauses on this video which is great. Always take the opportunity to think for yourself. Good choice for the next book!

[@honourablededon]

Thank you Nelson. Your logical chess videos have really improved my cheese rating.

That's good

We want endgame for elo above 1700

I am not sure but it would be nice that if u do 2 videos a week of different book I may be wrong saying that but I enjoyed this series so much that I can't wait for next game to see it would be great if u consider my comment thanku
