Can't believe people are complaining about video length hahaha, dude is giving a ton of super detailed advice for free and they come up with demands lol... Your videos are awesome Nelson, keep em coming at whichever length you can. Also i feel like you make some of the best content for people that are actually learning. As many videos from other creators are "destroy everyone with the caro kann in 8 moves!!" and then the video is against someone blundering the queen in move 6 or playing a totally normal opening until move 8 and then they play like a 2500 elo player crushing everyone (so caro kann or whichever opening they are showing doesn't really matter, they could go for bongcloud and still win easily)
Saying "I prefer longer videos" isn't complaining, especially when the reason given for this at first was: people complaining about videos being too long lol
This is my favorite series of videos you've done. I prefer the hour long videos, but appreciate all the teaching you do regardless of video length. Thank you for all the awesome lessons.
Great videos I can proudly say am climbing with you I started watching these videos at 980 am now at 1090 pushing to 1100 I have only lost about 5 games since
Thank you for giving us so much of your free time, I prefer the long videos as well(this isn't a complaint), personally at least 30 minutes or so, but if you can't do it because of your kids then it's absolutely alright, don't worry about it.
I absolutely love the setups like in game 2. I think I commented it once in another video, but you can get a very similar setup, same pawn structure, same castling long, same pawn attack on the king side, out of the Jobava London. Anarchy chess was calling that the "Anakin Skywalker Attack", named as such because it's an aggressive attack against KID players. Main line for Anakin Skywalker was something like 1.d4 Nf6 2.Bf4 g6 3.Nc3 d6 4.Qd2 Bg7 5.Bh6 O-O 6.Bxg7 Kxg7 7.f3 When I play it sometimes I'll castle long before playing f3, and yes, it absolutely destroys KID players as it completely pulls them out of their normal game plan, at least between the 1400 and 1600 level where I play at. Was very happy to see an actual good opening come out of Anarchy Chess even with the silly name.
Big respect to everyone at that rating, being able to still like or have any interest in chess after playing against wayward queen attack 9000 times is really something. Seriously I believe that most people are stuck on lower elo not because they are bad but because chess at that level is boring as hell
8:11 i thought that B×g7 K×g7 was soooo good for white but after while of thinking i see f6 which slowing the attack.... okay white is good but you are a brilliant chess player. Thank you for these videos❤
Loved this video so much. It is great to know opening theory, but what do you do when your opponent gets out of theory? Well if you are under 1500 and maybe even higher, getting out of theory is probably not due to having analyzed the best variation at the cutting edge of opening theory. Most likely they have made a move that is useless at best or dubious at worst. So learning how to take advantage of opening mistakes or useless moves would make a great book or lesson. In this video you mentioned a principle I've never heard of. When they make a useless move like h6 you like to attack the center. I would love to see a video of just opening principles to apply when an opponent gets out of theory in the opening.
Thanks for the video. In the first game, I would have moved my bishop to c6 to defend the queen to b3 move. I don't know whether that would have worked, but it would have gotten the white square bishop somewhat into the game.
I play the KID a lot and when I get that bishop/queen battery I never take first, I let them take with the bishop and then take back with my knight. I'm only a 750 ELO anyway but all the same I can't understanding taking first when you're in that position.
Been following for a few weeks, and have been enjoying it a lot. i am looking forward to when Nelson starts playing against 1500s or so, when they start playing some really clever moves maybe in retalliation.
18:13 after Bb7 wouldnt QH8 win the enemy Queen? so QH8+ then Nf8 then Bb5+ and the enemy have only 2 options to defend, with bishop, or with the queen, because knight cant move from f8; and defending with bishop loses bishop AND the queen, so from black perspective its better only lose a queen
This chess series from you is my favorite to go to when I'm having a meal at home. 30 minutes is just perfect. Sometimes it's nice with a shorter one. A bit longer is okay too, but an hour is a bit long when it comes to these types of videos I think.
I really like this slow presentation with each move being discussed. So much other chess content is presented at a very high rate. Your wife could easily cut your hair.
This series really shows how long it can take to climb ratings, as this is how long i takes when you win every single game. For actual low elo players having a bad losing streak can really set you back, or worse playing while intoxicated where youll keep playing games despite losing 😫. As its much easier to lose elo than gain it, since you face other people with win streaks if you manage to get a bunch of wins in a row to get your elo points back. Which almost always leads to facing suspiciously good players for the elo rating.
From 200 to 1166. Seeing how one mistake early can cost you the game you make it easy to understand. Which computer program are you using to analyze the games showing blunders?
Have people really requested longer videos? I can't believe how entitled people are nowadays. Nobody has any obligation to make content for you at a rate you deem acceptable. Period.
I'd like to ask you to not cut silence pauses in you videos. as far as I understand this is why every now and then the video jumps in time for a few secs. it makes it a little bit less interesting because I have less time to think than you) also for me personally it's a little bit accounting because I notice it every time because web can image suddenly changes. it's your content, I approximate it, you can do it however you want, just wanted to tell you do you would know that not everybody like it very much, in the first videos of the climb there were no such cuts as I understand. thank you very much for your excellent work anyway!)
I noticed the hair looked a little shorter than usual but it still looks fine you'll just have the luxury of using less shampoo for a while... that's how I look at it every time I get a haircut 😅
If anything, he's showing how good the system actually is considering that none of the opponents could defeat him in 120 games because he is much higher rated. So the famous argument "I should be much higher rated but I just get unlucky/I get cheaters every game" just doesn't work. Sure, you can face someone who's stronger than their rating, but also someone who's weaker, and over hundreds of games it balances itself out
These low rating videos help nobody. Just watching an IM just crush low to mid rated players helps nobody out. Please remember people are low rated because there bad at chess not an IM playing on a 2nd account

I do.
I prefer shorter
He said in the video he doesn’t have the time to sit down and play for an hour
@@BigGtheRizzlerYes i saw that, the comment was posted before that

You are the best! The way you explain everything is crazy. Just know that this is really helpfull for ALOT of people. Thanks again
1:45 There is Bxf7+ if king takes there is Qd5+ and that's a fork.
Yeah i was also confused why he didn't play it
@@grandpa1011he didn't play it because he didn't consider it
@@danielyuan9862 that's not a explanation he just didn't know he had a tactic
Today I went up from 1050 to 1100 Thanks to your videos!
Right? I went from 800 to 1100
noooooooooooooooooice
@@Risottoducamaron You did great job!
I went from 831 to 810😢
Anyone tips?
@@Poatanmafia I can advise you to play rapid, try not to blunder the pieces and try to play according to some plan, and not just move the pieces
Old barber’s joke: The only difference between a good haircut and a bad haircut is about two weeks.
I love you chess vibes you are one of the best chess youtubers so underated thank you for giving us this content im a huge fan
11:22 - I once learned the hard way that if the black bishop on c5 is undefended, then after Bxf7 followed by Qd5 the black might as well give up.
18:14 Isn’t Qh8+ followed by Bb5+ winning the queen?
Great stuff, champ. Keep it coming.
You're a good man for not making your barber feel bad. It looks fine mate 👍
You're also a good man for not making Nelson feel bad 😁
Total class act, Nelson! Looks fine, man.
Big respect to everyone at that rating, being able to still like or have any interest in chess after playing against wayward queen attack 9000 times is really something. Seriously I believe that most people are stuck on lower elo not because they are bad but because chess at that level is boring as hell
If chess is boring at some level, that should motivate to go to another level to search action.
8:11 i thought that B×g7 K×g7 was soooo good for white but after while of thinking i see f6 which slowing the attack.... okay white is good but you are a brilliant chess player.

1:50 could’t you just have played Qd5 attacking the bishop and also threatning mate in 1?
The man takes time to address the haircut! I dunno why but that made me laugh. You look great, pal, rock that buzz cut!
I can'find the first video of the climb from 200 elo can someone send me the link?
I love this series Terrific stuff here
For me, the duration of these vids is perfect. Huge fan of your work.
Thanks for the video.

16:38 you mentioned trapping the knight at the _exact_ move you could trap the knight, and didn't play it 😔
12:38 damn you didn't show the brilliant move :D
hey Nelson is it ok for you to play the bongcloud opening in the last game of this rating climb series
love your content
Thanks. I watched this series of videos every day for a month.
Very informative and detailed explanations.

121 wins in a row is crazy
Really appreciating this series and all the other instructional videos you're making. God bless.
I really like this slow presentation with each move being discussed. So much other chess content is presented at a very high rate. Your wife could easily cut your hair.
Missing those old good days with 1 hr videos
Love your haircut! Classic #2! I have the same haircut (LOL)

The haircut looks good 🙂 Plus it’s summer so good to have it short
From 200 to 1166. Seeing how one mistake early can cost you the game you make it easy to understand. Which computer program are you using to analyze the games showing blunders?
That record is almost as good as sugar ray robinson's
Great Video NelSon.
Nelson, I feel like you've been pretty laid back in previous videos. This one? Terminator.
Have people really requested longer videos? I can't believe how entitled people are nowadays. Nobody has any obligation to make content for you at a rate you deem acceptable. Period.
Complaining in comments is pumping up the views. Any buzz is good buzz.
thank you for making these videos i went from 700 to 850
you are the best man
Yes longer vid! hour long videos were the best but i appreciate half an hour
I am complaining about the people wanting an hour long video. I don’t have that time every day
so what move was brilliant in that first game?
i love the thumbnail lol
How about queen to d5 at 335 threatening mate. Is that an option.
Great video
I saw you do it and I still don't know how you did it. What magic is this?
Did anybody notice that Nelson got a brilliant move in the first game?
Hey Nelson! Try out climbing its really fun and full of positive energy
It also lets you steam off after a big day at work 😉
do u play ur subscribers
I am super stressed, thank you for the stream
i didnt even notice the haircut! looks neat though 👍
I'd like to ask you to not cut silence pauses in you videos. as far as I understand this is why every now and then the video jumps in time for a few secs. it makes it a little bit less interesting because I have less time to think than you) also for me personally it's a little bit accounting because I notice it every time because web can image suddenly changes. it's your content, I approximate it, you can do it however you want, just wanted to tell you do you would know that not everybody like it very much, in the first videos of the climb there were no such cuts as I understand. thank you very much for your excellent work anyway!)
I miss the 1 hour long videos 😢
I think 30 minutes is a perfect amount of time
hey nelson its ok it will grow again 😂
you missed bishop check mate
I’m blitzing the videos, setting the playback speed at 1.5 times. I can’t afford 1-hour long videos!
Man these cropped faces give me same nightmares as Gothamchess. Thanks for not screaming like him tho and ofc from quality chess videos.
It's superb series...
Can i expect it to be a climb to 2000 please??
Help us i just reached 950 bcoz of this series
Lots of love ❤
I like the shorter videos. I would skip the 1h+ videos.
I noticed the hair looked a little shorter than usual but it still looks fine you'll just have the luxury of using less shampoo for a while... that's how I look at it every time I get a haircut 😅
Second game: he could not castle because of your queen. King can't move through attacked fields.
Your hair will grow soon😊
pirc is a forced loss i don't know why people keep playing that
Yo Nelson
My prediction is that you will lose the first game in the 1300 - 1400 range
Good game!😅
I don't know how to counter that tactic
These videos are fun but shows how flawed the ELO system is
how so?
If anything, he's showing how good the system actually is considering that none of the opponents could defeat him in 120 games because he is much higher rated. So the famous argument "I should be much higher rated but I just get unlucky/I get cheaters every game" just doesn't work. Sure, you can face someone who's stronger than their rating, but also someone who's weaker, and over hundreds of games it balances itself out
first (for real, i'm built different)
Stfu nobody cares if ur first
Whats wrong with a short haircut?
ww
shorter and more often is much better. It gives people time to follow closely and thing out what your saying.
Second :)
