All these lessons are really helpful, concisely and clearly explained. Thank you!
if i could only remember them
100% it’s so easy to digest
Everyone's favorite piece...and a whole video dedicated to it? Thank you, Nelson!
14:54 - similar positions often arise from the Bogo-Indian defense as well. In most lines the idea is exchanging the dark squared bishops and putting the pawns on d6 and e5 and always playing with the pawns on dark squares while the light are controlled by the bishop.
Excellent lesson. All of these tips and guidelines are super important and I haven't seen them all covered in a lesson like this. Thank you!
The way you lay these videos out is perfect! Concise and brings a lot of info to the table, thank you.
These last few lessons have been great! Keep up the good work!
Great video, Nelson! Thank you!
Thank you so much for another great lesson! I'd like to ask if you could make a video on how to identify or sense a critical moment during the game that requires long lines calculation, usually puzzles put you in that situation but you know that is a decisive moment whereas I find it more difficult to understand when that moment is coming during a real game
The same thing happens to me too and I really feel that I can't see through a game I'm playing....any tips? Or a video? Thanks a lot and your videos a really great and professional! Cheers!
9:01 in this position, White can go Ng5, attacking Black's Bishop, and at the same time guarding h3, stopping them from getting anything with the battery. Anytime you want to do that maneuver, if there is a Knight that can attack your Bishop while at the same time guarding the infiltration square, you probably should play a pawn move to guard that, so they can't stop you.
An old chess book my dad had called "Chess for the Beginner" (I think it may have been written by Frank Marshall, actually) gave a bunch of pieces of opening advice, one of which was that you should "never" pin your opponent's king knight before they have castled, especially if you have already castled on the kingside. While "never" is too dogmatic (see for example the QGD Orthodox Defence variation in the video) it makes some sense. At least, if your opponent _has_ castled kingside and you haven't, pinning their king knight can be quite effective.
Very helpful thanks!
Love your videos, thanks!
Wow! Thank you for teaching us so much about bishops (and everything else you do in your other videos!). You're a chess hero ^_^
LOVE THESE VIDEOS! please do more.
6:32 Yes! I used this when I was a kid playing against other guys and it worked about two out of three times!
the endgame tip is actullay very useful! thanks!
I also value having the bishop pair complete. It's my favorite piece. I always like trading a knight for one of his bishops whenever the opportunity is slightly favorable for me.
Nelson, thank you for adding more tools or rather more weapons to my chess arsenal.
great video as always! 😃
I enjoyed this one I’m not really big on Bishops but so many of my opponents like to use them for pins so many players also bring them to the second file second rank in opening moves you gave some good points especially about the way they can help in making a net for checkmate
Another great video. Nelson just goes from strength to strength. Well done again. You never fail to deliver good content. I can’t think of one video that was not helpful or not worth watching.
Also Nelson if you can is it possible to do something on square theory . I read somewhere that as players get to 1800 + they think more in terms of key squares rather than pieces / material. Would it be possible to explain this in your unique . I get confused for example when comments such as a certain square eg d5 is the key square in this position and the fight for x square is vital for an advantage. Can you explain this please. 🙏🏼 thanks
i think its simply ignoring what piece is there, and instead thinking what pieces can go there, so like 1. e4 takes control of d5 and c5 cuz it can go there, and you protect the e4 square which the pawn is on with other pieces, simply ignore pieces and think of squares lol
@@aqaridot thanks much appreciated. Unfortunately I think Nelson is giving out hearts without answering the queries / questions in comments. I know you can’t expect him to read everything but if you are a regular well you know. I know his busy n that.
@@darrylkassle361 Maybe he saves some of the good comments as video ideas in a notebook?
Yeah. I know he does listen to his aufience because I have suggested things and he has done it. I got a heart so I assumed he read it yet there was no reply. Maybe he read it anyways and for whatever reason did not reply. I do know that content creators can proritize replies once they start getting patreons etc. Anyway snubbed or not i love the channel and his a genuinely nice guy so I assume there was no I'll will like I say his busy etc
awesome stuff!
Great lesson .. thanks
Definitely the best chess chanel on utube.thank's
Thanks for your sharing.
one of the most educational channels, thanks my man Nelson
Thank you
Your lessons helps out beginner like me a ton
respectful sir Thanks alot for all of ur detailed video i wish that may u get more than a millon subscriber.No where else on youtube could find so much deeply explained video for free. Love from India
Thanks!!
Good explanation, I only need you to put out a memorizing page just like you did at the end of 35 Chess Principles.
Amazing!!!
Great content, NM Lopez!
I have a book by Bobby Fischer and it rates bishops at 3.3 points, versus knights at 3.
Greek gift could've made the list perhaps. Nice video!
Thanks
One month of watching your videos and I progressed from always losing to stockfish 3 to almost always winning!
i played a game last night kind of like your example at 7:44 - but in my game the queen came all the way out to a4 and i was able to put a check on the king and skewer the queen, with my bishop on b5
This was awesome can you do one about rooks?
Very Instrcutive and Not time consuming at all
Yep ... My fav. Piece
Thanks James 111 Great Video Tal my favorite player as well ☮️ ♟️💯
Another tip for further depth:when the queen took the bishop and you took the pawn with knight there was a fork if you could see it on c7 unless the queen falls back
Nelson, are knights stil your favorite piece?
I've won many games where I pin the knight with the bishop, then when it gets kicked around by the pawns I put it behind the queen to make a battery. At my level most people don't see it especially in bullet.
Question: @2:09 if the g pawn captures f6, yes, white forces a double isolated pawn, but doesn't this develop black's rook? Can you explain why this is more advantageous for white?
Thank you!
I’m very, very late but after pawn to g3 and fianchettoing the bishop, the rook really isn’t doing much
Double Fianchetto reminds me of turret towers
Nice
at 21:19 can you just advance the pawn to h6? the enemy king will stay trapped and you threat a promotion while the rook protects all in D.
That would be a bad move because the enemy King can just move to h7 and use that pawn as a shield against the rook which could stop the checkmate.
Hey Nelson. How much video is there in the 1000-1500 course? How many hours? And does the course include anything else?
About 3.5 hours of content. I respond to questions asked in the course discussion, but that's basically it!
Bishop plus queen ,have done this .
how can u play by yourself?
Does anyone know if and how much this dude charges for lessons
A chess hood classic
Can you do one for rook
Their have been a lot of times my opponent played g5 and they had already castled and I just crushed them
The “bad” bishop (same squares as your pawns) cannot target opponent’s pawns, but isn’t it nice that it can defend your own pawns? It sounds to me that attacking and defending are both good tools, so I don’t get the universal criteria of good/bad bishops according to equal pawn square color.
Quick question Grand Master the knight or the bishop who's more deadly
If there are spots where u can easily move the bishop , if u have a low amount of spots to move to , the knight
What do you do after you pin the knight without wanting to trade and they start moving pawns down the edge of the board…what is the smartest retreat pattern? It always happens to mee
Just beat my uncle who’s a master with the Danish gambit today! Inspiration from one of your videos.
2:24 knight is pointing at the black queen
20:48 You could've also moved rook d1 to d8 for checkmate
Edit: Nevermind I didn't notice the rook c8 on black team
Nelson how to beat your bot? He loves getting outta queen early and trading queen but still win :/
And then he sacrifices THE ROOOOOOOOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am partial to using bishops side by side, if the opponent lets me.
Sacrifice The Rock
6:23 what about Bg5?! Bxf2+!? KxB Ng4+ and QxBg5 !?!!!?
Kf8
All I learned is that bishops are better then knights late game. Says something about my level.
Bishop forks :p
very helpful but you forgot the most important one: know when to break the rules and just go for something
A pawn defending a bishop is so annoying when you only have a rook against it.
I always sacrifice my bishop to open up the the castle
Something I really enjoyed about your knights tips video, was that with each step, in the bottom right hand corner of your video, there was the tactic/idea/way, which I think is a better formatting choice than just having 'ways to use this piece' for the whole video, as well as making it clear what the watcher is to focus on in each segment, hope you take this constructively. I'm a big fan of your channel, and have watched and rewatched several of your videos as drills in of themselves to drive home key principles!
And then he sacrifices THE BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISHOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
great tips how to use bishops effectively,
made similar topic about chess on my channel, any feedback is greatly appreciate,
all the best, thanks

So close to 100k, keep subbing peeps!
This helps. In fact I played a bot and a human using my bishops to set up trap. It helps to see how it’s done. Thanks. 💯
