    As a intermediate chess player, I usually blunder 2-3 moves tactics combination. This is very useful to fix my weakness. Thank you Nelson, you are the best!

    This game also reminds us that a relative pin, especially pinning something to a queen, needs to be very careful. If the pinned piece moves with a check, it will turn into a discovered attack on the pinning piece

    7:18 I have not watched the better move yet in the video, but I think it is Rxf6, as if black takes the queen then Rf8 is checkmate.

    Great video - your chess videos are absolutely the best! The subject here reminded me of Alekhine in two ways. One was getting a tactical idea very early (think game with Reti where the N on b7 hangs) and realizing it. Almost as important as calculating variations is to see tactical possibilities before they can be realized. Two, it is the play on both sides of the board, to see the whole board, and not get obsessed with one sector.

    I really love your style of teaching. I just recently picked the game back up after not playing since 7th grade (like 24 years ago lol). Never even considered there were books back then. But I’m loving leading the real depth to the game now in my 30s. Just wish I had more time to play! Starting to get to around 1,000 after a couple weeks but I just can’t play anything faster than a 10 minute game yet or I blunder a dozen times

    in the position at 9:37, I noticed that you could play Qh3 followed by Rxc6+ which is a double check and an attack on the queen, which means that you wouldn't end up losing a bishop and a rook, making it a better option. Is this line too obvious to attempt, or is there a way to counter it?

    Great video! I'm around 1450 and saw the checkmate if black doesn't capture the rook but none of the winning lines if they do. More precise I didn't even look further into it at all.

  • @kiliancap6821
    @kiliancap6821 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Thank you for this video!
    When I saw this position I thought Rxf6 was the move, but for another reason.
    After Rxf6 I saw the ladder checkmate, but after the pawn takes f6 I saw the move Qxf6.
    The idea of this move is that the rook is pinned because the queen would hanging otherwise and you can't stop the checkmate on the backrank. What I failed to realise tough, is the fact that the checkmate on the back rank is easily stopped after Rd8, which is such a simple move that I could not see. And that's why I'm a 1200 because I always go for these random tactics that don't work out well.

    • @qazzaqstan
      @qazzaqstan ปีที่แล้ว

      I mean the big issue is Qc5 is very complicated from black. Rf6 gxf6 Qxf6 is still winning for white but Qc5 makes it difficult. The immediate Qc5 is not the easiest to deal with either.

    I saw Rxf6 but I wasn't sure about the continuation. I saw that the black queen couldn't check effectively because of our queen placement and we had the ladder if they took our queen. I could just tell the attack on Black's king was enormous.

    Thank you so much - another really excellent video and fascinating analysis. What blows my mind though is how you can play at this level with so much deep analysis going on in just a 3-minute game. How do you learn to think so quickly and not just feel pressured to make a move because of the time?

  • @icefrog1017
    @icefrog1017 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hi Nelson I’m also wondering at 10:00 what if White goes Qg3? Its setting up a checkmate for c7. If Nd5 trying to defend mate as well as the Queen, then Rf8 is checkmate. If knight tries to block with Nd7 then Re8 mate. The only better defence is Rd7, but then after Rxd7, Nd7 (if King takes rook then Bf5+ and queen is gone) you have Rc8+, forcing the knight to take so that you open up the diagonal for the bishop check Bf5 and seize the queen?

  • @nobodyreallyusefulfr1720
    @nobodyreallyusefulfr1720 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I'm probably wrong cus i'm 600 elo but can't the queen capture the pawn after it takes the rook? It threatens the same ladder checkmate than when black takes the queen, the bishop can come down next to the king if black gives a check and the queen's defending it just in case.

    • @polytropos1.1
      @polytropos1.1 ปีที่แล้ว

      I was thinking exactly the same: At 11:43, Qxf6 creates a threat that seems un­stopp­able to me. Sure, Black can delay by Q1e+, but that can be blocked by Bf1 and then the check­mate is coming.
      Or did I overlook something?

    I actually spotted the best move and didn't see the tactics that you played. But the problem is that I evaluated incorrectly the follow up. So, probably I would have lost the game. Unfortunately, it happens a lot, when you see the beginning and it really works, but you do it wrong.

  • @NormalPerson45

  • @jaybingham3711
    @jaybingham3711 ปีที่แล้ว

    When black chooses to decline and pushes the e pawn, precisely what makes that boring? Are you speaking strictly as the gambitor? Or do you mean broadly...that maybe because it tends towards drawish end games?
    If you look at your past couple years history and isolate games in which you are the gambitee, do you mostly find yourself typically accommodating and accepting the full extent of the gambit. Hopefully you can pinpoint your percentage run-rate with accepting gambits and/or ballpark it for us.
    As a 1700, my default is to decline opening gambits. I would guess I follow through 80% of the time. Does your experience at your level align with most people declining?

    As a 1200 i spotted a different, definitely worse but winning idea, rxf6, they cannot capture the queen coz of mate in 1 but i think if they capture the rook, there's no mate but the engine says it's a good move and there are several mates they can fall for it

    i would have sacced the queen instead of the rook, he takes, i take back with the other rook, he can't stop the checkmate i think.
    if he brings the king to d8 to take the rook on e7, i take the bishop, he can bring his king again, but i can keep moving on the 7th file, threatening checkmates, and i can move further and further away as i take pieces, i always threaten checkmate with rook from f6 to f8, the only other possible attempt would be for him to put his king on e8, ready to capture the rook i would move on f8, but then bishop to g6 checks him, and he has to move away
