What's the difference between 1000 and 2200? 

gg I’m also 900 lol

lol

Pretty good thought process most of the time, apart from that g3 move, I like the game. This was at least 1300 performace Id say, good job.

Brave to play against Nelson publicly, and well done despite the loss

dude you are jacked

And the funny thing is they can see your blunders while not figuring theirs

@@darkdolphin8310 yesterday I did a 61 move game that ended up in repetition draw in my favor because I had thrown the game, when I did the review I saw I missed a move really early at like 17 i think, that I had a move to fork the queen and king and that would turn the entire game to me... Tunnel Vision is really a bad thing in this game xD

because its not your game so you are not hyper focus on the direct menace and can focus on the overall match instead

The same thing is true about life and relationships. It's difficult to see our blind spots

@@bofetada6841 correct. And in the same train of thought,we care more about judging others, than observing ourselves and being mindful and aware of how we choose to react in various circumstances.

Indeed, I have never seen this format anywhere else. I really like Nelson's understated approach too. It will catch on and I bet Gotham picks it up. I can really relate to the 900 odd level player as I have been there recently and as an 1100 or so I can see a few things I've learnt that make a difference. For example considering when putting a piece in a position to trade, what am I going to be exchanging with and does it worsen my position? If so, don't invite that. It all stems from internalising Igor Smirnov's "To take is a mistake" dictum, at least for me. I am quite impressed at his positional understanding however. He considers what his better pieces are. I think he needs to grind more puzzles and his opening knowledge could be improved?

Ofcourse this is good I agree ! Interesting rather than I having to just think on myself in 2 seconds .

I found this very valuable.

Yes, great format to watch both sides thinking and playing!

Naroditsky is also very good

Not only that but Nelson develop all his pieces a lot faster and he doesn't play very bad move like g3....that was a super weak move that only a beginner would do. So that was two rookie major mistakes.

He still played badly. "I don't like Nf6 becouse the bishop would pin me". Like wtf? Nf6 Bg5 dxe4 and black is winning? Not even calculating one move and rejecting Nf6 outright.

​@@RandomGuyOnRU-vid601bro thinks he's better than a national master ☠️☠️☠️

@@colecube8251 I have 2200 FIDE rating bro

@@colecube8251 he might be I mean I'm a Im and im better than him

Looks like he's playing on a Mac with a high-density display, judging by the font of the numbers on his screen

there's always a downside: it's chess, basically we need two colors to understand how the game goes😅

U should see Eric Rosen...u will never see a calm and clear explanations better than his

Rosen is a better player but his tutorials aren’t as good as Nelson imo and this is coming from someone who’s a massive Rosen fan and has studied theory from his videos

Yes

Yes

Yes

But will grind u in the middle game and win easily

Also scared of tension. They only let pieces stare at each other for a few moves before getting the urge to trade them off for basically no reason. I am also 1000 so I see it all the time haha

Yeah I am 1800 and I was thinking to trade the bishops not the pawn push.

I'm 2200 and there is definitely merit to voluntarily open up the g file to slide your rook over

Not in that position with the bishop pair staring at you in the corner, the knight on g6 ready to jump in and both queen and rook lurking behind the lines. That’s a terrible time to be opening yourself up like that.

hello brother

Found it, cannot delete my posting - sorry
