1:15:00 Nelson: just moving my queen and rooks to good squares Stockfish: are you sure about that? Stockfish's evaluation is seriously harsh sometimes. I will say though that explaining the blunder of putting the queen on the unprotected e7 square was super instructive and very much appreciated. Highlighting the fact that the square was unprotected was eye opening because it didn't occur to me at all at first.
It's noticeable how the quality of the games improves when you get closer to 1400 rating. Games are harder, opponents start to find good moves, and in many cases, the games go on up to the endgame with holdable positions.
Jansen's problem was his own time management... Dude had FIVE MINUTES left on his clock when he blundered his knight, taking only 2 seconds to move... That shouldn't happen.
These videos are so helpful for me as a lowly 1400. Apart from the tips, it's kind of reassuring to know that a 1400 can sometimes put a master in a tricky spot/
It's like watching 'Mission Impossible'. LoL "I just have to make sure I don't cause a stalemate", in a calm voice, "confirm that the king always has a spot to move..." TICK, TICK, TICK goes the timer! "And I see I can get a check and then a checkmate..." TICK, TICK, TICK!!! 🤣😂🤣
26:08, I think that's a blunder, because there's Nxd7. You can't take back with the knight because the queen on e7 hangs. You can't trade queens first because white has an intermezzo move Nxf6+, before taking back the queen. The best response is to take the knight with the queen, which loses the queen to Bxh7+, and after Kxh7, Rxe7, and Nxd7. You lose the queen and pawn for the rook and bishop, which is an unfavorable trade, and black has an exposed king and white has initiative. I think black is still better with the extra piece early on, but it's tricky at this point. I'm positive Nelson simply overlooked this line. And I didn't see it either until after Nelson played the move. Quite tricky to find!
151 wins with no losses and draws, that's some win streak! This NM has to be ultra solid and strong, and a bit lucky not to lose on time once in a while. Good podcast tho.
52:90 'As a result...when the dust cleared...his pieces just happened to end up on great attacking squares.' And no one under 2200 would be responsible (certainly not in whole and very much in doubt as to partly) for such an outcome. Sure, at the SGM level it is controlled better. But still only in part. This is where one kind of luck manifests in human chess. Another kind is when blunders aren't taken advantage of. Despite all these well-documented instances, people still try to insist that there's no such thing as luck in (human) chess. That is definitively not the case. Even MC will look you in the eyes with astonishment and tell you that you are 100% wrong. If you don't necessarily require personal confirmation, then you can find numerous YT videos of MC affirming his beliefs on the matter. So quit trying to reify chess as a pure instrument of supreme intellect. Cuz it's silly. Don't get me wrong...the game does speak to concentration ability, memorization skills and other things we find important and useful. Unarguably. But numerous other games do as well.
Look for checks captures attacks, are there any checks, and if there any checks are they good, What about captures? Are they good and do they win a piece? What about attacks? Does it improve your position? Are you satisfied with it? Then you do it, also you have to look for maximum dangers, Like forks, free pieces and attacks.
5:58 ... Nxe4 opens up another line to e5. 9:51 If White doesn't use his rooks, he really doesn't have them. 11:45 ... d5; Bxc7 Rc8 also looks doable; Black then has two possible attacks on the queen. 39:50 Note that the pawn on g6 is NOT defended. 45:58 It looks like after ... Nd3, Bxd3 wins a piece: ... Rxd3; Bxc5, or ... Bxe3; Rxe3.
i must've watched all your videos by now. I've climbed from 300 to 750 in the process. I've also beaten the 1700 bot once in 10 tries so i'm very optimistic :D
57:16 The opponent was like if I let you chase around my knights while developing pieces then thats just bad so how about you take my fucking extra piece and we move on with the game and I will be happy with 1 pawn advantage.
Yeah game 1. I stopped playing that opening it always gave me problems with bishops lined up on the corner. Nobody played like the openings I've studied so I never know what to do. Also I'd never be able to see how to checkmate with so little time on clock.
So many mistakes in second game: a3 is useless move that early, even bad if you castle short. Move order was wrong, Nbd2 should have been played earlier, trading dark squared bishops was wrong. Everybody plays London, nobody knows anything more than basic setup. Eric Rosen did over 3 hours of videos on that and people still refuse to invest their time in learning more about what they play.
Could you please cut these live video records? for me it's more useful to watch them when they're way shorter, like 20-30 minutes. I don't have time to watch them when you're presenting a live session.
At the risk of jinxing not watching ALL of the video yet. I bet you get a loss by 1550 Elo. I know if i play Martin to much i play like him. Why i try playing higher elo bots

Love these videos. Hearing your thought process is helping my game a lot. Thank you!
I’ve loved watching all these videos. Thanks so much for taking the time and for the instruction. It’s priceless.

The problem. Bro was playing with his knight only

Compare this to Gotham videos and its not even close. Gotham just arrogantly makes fun of people while you humbly teach us your thought process
Chess vibes always very respectful. Even in response to criticism holds his composure.
✝️
Danya is also great educational content. Mr Gotham is all entertainment. Stopped watching a while back. Kinda silly.
Damn bro was hating hardcore.
I really dont like his channel. Hes amazing sure but i dont like his attitude!
It's like watching 'Mission Impossible'. LoL

Great series, Nelson. A solid 10. I like your narrative. Oh, I Vibe-rated.
no pun intended?

Oh wow, it's even worse, 33:11, simply amazing.
This is the best series ever
Learned a lot, thank you so much!
The 2 tactics in the middle and endgame were a masterclass. Thanks Nelsi!
Love these videos! Any tips for calculating faster other than puzzles and games?

Keep them coming. I'm watching them all!

What is blud waffling about? 😭
31:40 I might be wrong, but wasn't Rxh3 winning? Becuase if he plays g5 than you have Rh1#
I Like more the move Rb1+, then if:
Kh2, Rh1# .
And if:
Bf1, Bc4, eventually winning a piece.
Your videos are excellent because it's not so high a level that I feel overwhelmed.
You’re bodying these kids so hard that 23:29 sounded like a hitmarker
8:03 Nxc4 doesn't work because of Nxf6+ immediately. If the queen takes back then the knight on e4 is just hanging.
8:51 Why not KC4 to start it off? Don't you still go up a piece but w/o losing the rook and pawn? Or am I missing something?
Even more tilting game
Starting elo:800
Current elo:154
Wins: 19
Draws: 1
Losses: 35
Look for checks captures attacks, are there any checks, and if there any checks are they good, What about captures? Are they good and do they win a piece? What about attacks? Does it improve your position? Are you satisfied with it? Then you do it, also you have to look for maximum dangers, Like forks, free pieces and attacks.
5:58 ... Nxe4 opens up another line to e5.
9:51 If White doesn't use his rooks, he really doesn't have them.
11:45 ... d5; Bxc7 Rc8 also looks doable; Black then has two possible attacks on the queen.
39:50 Note that the pawn on g6 is NOT defended.
45:58 It looks like after ... Nd3, Bxd3 wins a piece: ... Rxd3; Bxc5, or ... Bxe3; Rxe3.
Extremely helpful! Thank you so much 😊
That time thing in the beginning had me on my toes - nice checkmate! 😮
nice , simple thinking process, really helpfull thnx!!
Do your opponents get their rating points back after these rating climb games?
Hey what platform do you use to stream so I can join?
he streams on TH-cam
@@AdrianHernandez-ul4in ok thanks
Very instructive! Thanks
58:50 the opponent realises the premove and plays KJ4 ahahh
You mean Ng4?
i must've watched all your videos by now. I've climbed from 300 to 750 in the process. I've also beaten the 1700 bot once in 10 tries so i'm very optimistic :D
57:16 The opponent was like if I let you chase around my knights while developing pieces then thats just bad so how about you take my fucking extra piece and we move on with the game and I will be happy with 1 pawn advantage.
Great video, I'm a beginner, and seeing your thought process and how you play helps a lot.
Yeah game 1. I stopped playing that opening it always gave me problems with bishops lined up on the corner. Nobody played like the openings I've studied so I never know what to do. Also I'd never be able to see how to checkmate with so little time on clock.
at 11:40 is bd4 a move?
Thanks Nelson for playing the Halloween. Very instructive.
Can you try the jobava London or the Caro khan ?
Jobava London can win you games in like 6 moves, such a good opening.
wow.... love these. thanks for this
What are the odds that some of your opponents are also titled players doing a rating climb?
Is it me or this video (and the following) doesn't appear in "Videos" ?
Also, the algorithm doesn't recommend it to me.
A bishop in front of a rook is a deadly pair, especially if the king is on the other end.
Black queen should’ve gone from f6 to d8 in the last one, instead of trading.
I'm curious to see how Game 3 should have developed of black didn't make those few mistakes in the mid game
Would love to see a 15-10 rating climb ... that's what I usually play.
Wait, is he getting advice from someone on chat? What was that "you were right" business about?
watched this in the video format already
are you going to change the Peter-Patzer pfp to Average Joe?

it’s not that deep bro at this elo people just have fun
YOU ARE THE BEST TEACHER !!!
Its hard to win a game if your opponent doesent blunder anything like how you attack thats my question probably like in 1500
9:20 exd4 cxd4 Bxd4
80% is terrible in 1400 rating, by the way. 80% is a standard 900 rating
Yeah but playing 80% at a higher level is surely harder ?
I saw the blunder too.
Could you please cut these live video records? for me it's more useful to watch them when they're way shorter, like 20-30 minutes. I don't have time to watch them when you're presenting a live session.
How is the Blood clot situation going with your leg I hope it has gone away and everything under control
At the risk of jinxing not watching ALL of the video yet. I bet you get a loss by 1550 Elo.
I know if i play Martin to much i play like him. Why i try playing higher elo bots

If you want to do me a favor, consider playing the English. It's a cool opening imo.
Black plays symmetrical and we have the most boring game of the series. Sorry but you know it's true, symmetrical English is boooooring.
@Earl3710 Why tf would he lose playing the English???
Upload as normal video. Better for algorythm.
