I had a guy today call me dumb and slow because I was taking more time than him. Then I forked his queen and rook with my one knight. When he moved his queen to save it, I forked it and the king with my other knight. He resigned.
Thank you.. I just started getting into chess for real this time. My buddy that i haven't spoke to in years reached out to me on facebook and he's been into it for like 3 years and started a chess club. I have been watching these videos and playing (still struggle past 850) lol. and have gotten my butt kicked my my friend playing the 1 day game for an entire month. I just beat him for the first time. Your videos are finally starting to sink in.. .if only i can convert it to the 10 minute games and teach myself to slow down when it matters. I have blundered checkmate and lost the game so many times.. despite watching like 50 of your videos on it lol
@@koolerstream921I hope you both learn something from watching the mistakes a lot of his opponents were making because it’s a main way of improving is realizing mistakes and trying to prevent them from happening again
@@michaelmassaro4375 I learn a ton from watching vids like these. Problem is, as soon as I start playing, I think hard, and make a move, and as soon as I release my mouse and the piece drops, I realize my mistake. Why can't my brain work just a few seconds faster :D
@@koolerstream921my advice is when you want to move somewhere, draw an arrow and right click on that square, from there you can consider before actually making a blunder
At 3:12, after the queen retreats, Nxg4 is also a move. Yes, the queen can take the night, but then you have the fork again with Nxc2+. Or... d5, which attacks the bishop on c4 and is also a revealed attack on the queen.
I often have mouse slips (or finger slips) and they're so annoying. But it weirdly makes me feel better knowing others do it, too. Thank you again for such a helpful lesson!
29:37 instead of following your plan with the rook, what if you had moved your white bishop to c6? Then you could have traded a bishop for a rook? Am I missing something?
I just started getting into chess, and I gotta say this is the best tutorial I’ve seen so far. Would love for there to be more book suggestions or learning material in general. The ones you’ve already recommended are amazing, and a lot of us noobs don’t really have a great understanding of all the top learning material available.
Nelson, question- so you're obviously not a 425 rated player and so I'm trying to understand how you can play at that rating against lesser qualified players?? I'm only asking because I want to understand how this works. I love watching these games. 👍
I can really understand that your first opponent was pissed very hard 🤣You took 1 minute for each move, even for the obvious check-mate. He must have felt trolled and humiliated.
1:51 In case anyone is interested, the fancy line Nelson talked about is like this 1. e4 e5 2. Bc4 Nc6 3. Qf3 Nf6 4. Qb3 Nd4 5. Bxf7 Ke7 6. Qc4 b5 And then white must move away the queen, leaving the bishop undefended and black will win a piece
After the 2nd mouseslip, Bc6 is still a decent move? Even tho you can lose a rook and bishop for a rook. Still gets value and positioning for the accidental misclick
I have a doubt can pls anyone solve it that what if in the first game when the knight go from f6 to e4 the blacks pawn on f2 can move to f3 then what may happen 😅
29:42 this move wouldn’t even have been a blunder if you had played bishop to c6 and lined up on your opponent’s rooks… i suppose he could have recaptured your bishop but still
Nelson... When white takes your last knight.. why not use the battery? D1 CHECK, he moves D2 check, he will be forced to move to protect his rook, and then bishop c4
When you mouse slipped the rook around 30 minutes in you had a nice skewer on the rooks after that. Did you miss it or was that just not a good move for how you were playing?
In the 4th game at around 20:00 position, the opponent missed an opportunity to save both rook and knight, by moving king to e2 at discovered check, then Nelson can win a pawn only. I think that the opponent may feel nervous on discovered check or afraid of moving the king to center.
In such a scenario, I would always choose qa4 cuz it’s more quiet, qd5 is more provocative, almost everyone will then play rb8, which delays the mate by three moves.
Nelson is one of the Best personality’s on you tube you can tell he’s a humble and Good Guy I’m sure everyone appreciates the instructions you are trying to help people with I enjoy watching even though I’m 1174 my puzzle rating is 2700 I think that’s kind of good it’s funny watching the 400 players making the mistakes they make but it’s understandable even 800 and 1000 and up make mistakes of course and that’s how games are won and lost a lot by whomever makes the mistakes those are the type of things we all can improve on Thanks Nelson Enjoy your day everyone 😊♟️
Nelson. Quick question. I'm just a beginner. Thought I should learn a specific B & W opening (Jobava & Pirc) but you seem to play more freely at lower ELO games. Do you recommend learning an opening at beginner level and just keep trying it until you climb?
The reason you didn't blunder the Rook is because you had the follow up move, bishop to C6 which guaranteed a Rook recapture. So stockfish probably saw it as a trade rather then a Blunder.
True, but white can respond to Bc6 with Rc4 or Rc2, attacking the undefended Bishop on c5. Still a better exchange for black, but would be white's best counter.
nah i don't think that's how its calculated. I think its the change in evaluation like M8 -> +4 -> +1 -> - 2 etc. So if you are very far ahead you can't blunder unless you turned the tide or blundered into a stalemate
Stats now has place for the rice cookers, and also with the new chess ai out called Torch which plays like a human and is as strong as stockfish how do we know who is rice and who is not ?
That trash-talking 400 had me crying, I was laughing so hard. He probably wins a lot of games with his nonsense. I also like the attempt to pressure Nelson into moving quickly, hoping for a blunder. Nice try, dude, but you were trash-talking a NM. Now you're famous.
I'm 400 elo and a good 50%+ of players can only scholar's mate. If you block it they will continue to try it until you take their queen - then the majority of them just resign because they have no clue how to play outside of that one trap.
“Hey 6 minutes.” I have a friend who plays like this, and it’s no wonder the guy saying it is only 400 rated. Don’t play a 10 minute game if you don’t have the patience for it. If you don’t have the experience to be a blitz player, and you don’t have the patience to play a 5-10 minute game, maybe chess just isn’t for you. Build experience, then get fast.
No, after Ng5, Bxh1, Nf7 white plays Nxe6 and the line is a little long but essentially you end up giving up a knight, a pawn, and a rook for a rook and a pawn
