It's amazing how complex chess is, and you can see it clearly in the video. when you explain the thought process during the game - you do a wonderful job. Thank you
@@bajulybs9021 Interestingly, many Soviet coaches recommend their students to learn pawn endgames and basic checkmates (Q+K, R+K) at the very beginning of their learning, seems like a great approach.
1200 to 1300 players play a good game, we do about one blunder or mistake a game, and we are weakish on End games in my experience, these videos confirm this. Thanks for the great videos by a great teacher in NM Nelson Lopez. This format you use here works well for the way I learn, straight to the point, great explanations, great reviews. A lot of other youtube teachers do much faster games and quick commentary, your 10 minute full game commentary work perfect for me , keep up this format. You accent is easy to understand compared to others.
Your last minute of play in the second game was fascinating. Your mind works so quickly to find the right moves. I had my finger on the perpetual pause button just to keep up with your thought processes. I need end-game work LOL. Thanks for another excellent video.
Thanks for the videos. I'm learning a lot. I'm currently somewhere in the 1200 range. Knowing that even though you're roughly 1000 rating points higher and still have some close calls helps me see and realize why it's hard to improve from where I am. As they say. Chess is complicated.
NELSON THAT SECOND GAME WAS INCREDIBLE, THAT WAS AN AMAZING GAME. HE HAD A CRAZY ATTACK ON U, U NEUTRALISED HIM, CREATED AND WON AN ENDGAME that got my heart pumping! I wish i can pull off high level gameplay like that
It was a masterclass of defending from the black side. Truly one of the best instructional games I’ve seen. He knew the opponent wanted to open up the H file, make the queen bishop battery, but he knew as long as he keeps his knights there there’s no attack Great game very educational
I find myself doing the math every episode to find out whether this is the one you lose. Climbs +24. Average 8 per win. 3 games takes 30-40 minutes. This one’s 37 so I think the streak continues 😆😆
One of the best lessons I've learned from this is: take your time. The third game: your opponent took two minutes while you took eight. While you are taking your time explaining your moves, I still think it's safe to say you spent more time that game thinking about what to do than your opponent.
wow, that brilliant knight move line was so fascinating to see. that would be a really difficult puzzle. it’s amazing how many threats there are and how it all leads to a draw by perpetual check
Going back, reviewing, and finding brilliant moves is always so interesting. Sometimes, I'm just screwing around and seeing how certain moves are mistakes by myself or opponents and I find crazy lines opponents could've played.
Yeah he looks like a decent player, very attacking and I would expect he wins against other 1200s because he's so attacking and players that rating range don't tend to defend very well. He would be a stronger player if he took longer to think of his moves though, he was playing like it was a blitz game.
People like this just annoy me though. This is rapid, he's playing like its bullet. He is squandering his potential, if he just slowed down and took time with his moves youre looking at a solid 1800 right there. Instead, he wants to look flashy by playing so fast.
In the first game. The Knight-Bishop at your doorstep position comes up so often at the 600-1000 level. I've Never once seen a response like your opponent. We all make obvious blunders but this felt like too much for a 1200 rated player because it wasn't crazy complex or discovered besides they must have played the same position a thousand times before reaching that level. In the 2nd game. At 15:45 Knight coming to trap the Rook was definitely not something I would've thought of. Awesome move! Learnt so much from this video! Thanks!
At 20:00 it is stated that the opponent can achieve perpetual check mate, but one can use the bishop sacrifice to get the white queen onto a white square, and then get out of it. However, it is still a little tricky, as white can force a queen trade, and then gobbling up pawns with a rook, when they have a bishop and king protecting is tough. So probably still a stalemate.
After the bishop sac, the white queen can move to e5, and it either leads to more perpetual checks, or a losing position for black. Perpetual/draw would be the "computer preferred" line. So it's basically a "forced" draw, or a losing endgame for black (down material)
21:10 everytime I play against an opponent that plays to quickly, they just play all the right moves and end up crushing me becuase I just run out of time. It's very frustrating for me, because it feels like I'm playing against a brick wall that just know the right moves against me.
Maybe study more openings that you encounter at your level? Then correct moves will come to you automatically. Look at bullet games - people who are great at those know their openings very well and because of that they can save time for middlegame.
This speed is perfect for me. He plays slow enough to explain ideas, but not so slow that people just tune out while waiting for opponent's moves; and not too fast where he can't explain concepts.
At 7:12 Qa5 check was very strong as it would've guaranteed some material because white mindlessly moved the Queen to d3 opening tactics... This shows that when you're focused on one side of the board you can lose focus on the other side. Great series regardless ❤
Talking about the London game, when you decide to not develop your c8 bishop early that's actually ok in a lot of d4 openings like the london or queen gambit declined where you get a Slav/French like pawn structure. The thing you have to know there is that the bishop is more like a endgame piece like a rook and it joins the fight later in the game. Because your pawn structure is pretty solid and your opponent doesn't have any decisive pawnbreaks your position is actually pretty solid even when you're behind in development.
Funny thing but in London (from white's side) it's actually light squared bishop that's more important - setting up all kinds of sacrifices and greek gift if black castles short. London can be a very aggresive opening, but most people don't study it enough to utilize its full attacking potential
@@mariuszpudzianowski8400 yeah that's absolutely true. I think most people just play it as some kind of opening that basically works no matter what setup black is doing and they just want to get into a middlegame with equal chances while avoiding a lot of theory. Which is fair not everyone wants to study openings on a regular base
@@arrowofkira5658I don’t like the London for that reason. It just feels like a very cheap opening. White gets to blitz out their entire opening, knowing that their position is going to be extremely solid, they don’t have to know any theory or any of the ideas behind their opening, and they have all the initiative at the start of the middle game. I get very frustrated playing the London bc I feel like these players would be 200 elo lower if they played any other opening. Maybe you could recommend a good line against the London?
@@AP0PT0SIS if you wanna be aggressive and take some of them out of theory quickly you can try to look at some really early c5 pushes to weaken their center followed by Qb6. Against some inexperienced players you might score some wins because they might not know how to correctly respond to the threat Qxb2 but it can be double edged if white knows what they're doing.
9:12 Ng6 pawn has to capture that Knight. And then white Queen captures that pawn... Danger zone activated for black (it seems). 13:14 as white I would go Rxf6...
First game 99% Nelson it's official you are a bad ass😮😊👌 loving this series Nelson it has been so educational up to now😊😊😊 and super impressive the way you win games even when u wasnt aware u was in trouble there was a big threat against u with that perpetual, fascinating perpetual though wow never seen nothing like that two peices defending the king yet still was a perpetual chess is such a deep technical game i love it the way we can use computers like we do these days to see all these obscure lines i just love it 😊😊❤
@@kamilhorvat8290 Partially true, but a reminder - Hikaru struggled against a guy half his rating in Stafford gambit. Ratings are important but they don't tell the whole story about player's abilities.
@@kamilhorvat8290 kids who started playing chess just now have a rating of 250 not 1250 lmao This is not lichess where everyone gets free 1500 default sign up elo And 200 elo from winning a single game
Fantastic as always👍.... Great to hear a NM also has ,"I don't what to do right now" moments like the rest of us mortals but still continues on for the win!
Wow Nelson got lucky this episode Losses will happen but I do expect Nelson to win more often than not until the 2200 range Nelson, any chance you can pass this account to Hikaru once the rating gets there? It would be interesting to watch the rating climb continue, obviously Hikaru would crush but we will see start to see some draws mixed in around the 2400-2500 range
Love your videos thank you..i have a question. When i watch games of bobby Fischer, Magnus Carlson, and others, they sewm to use their pawns more and weapons and sacrifice and strategicly. Do you so this at more advance level or its just not your style? Do have games in which you implement them more? Is this a conscious thing? Or is the purpose of the videos to show the importance of developing your pieces? Sometimes it seems as though they are not as important but when i watch others its more like an orchestra using all the instruments where as in you exanple which are fantastic sometimes their usage seems lacking or this my perception and i am incorrect?
I love how you say "Why are they thinking about this?" so often, and the answer is obviously, "Because they are not as good as you, and they are trying their damnedest to think about the next few moves, which is really hard" 😀
It was 1200 rapid that I first started regularly encountering (say 20/25% of the time) slash lines of like 2/0/0 and right around 90 accuracy in 40+ move games (while giving back the same.) Super surprised. Thought that level of play would have been well north of 1500. That last game was a giveaway by black. Of course, I don't think they're distracted with producing content. Keep up the good work. Maybe consider posting a poll for the over/under of the inevitable blemish. My apologies if you've already done this and I missed it.
@@travischampagne3252 But on the flipside they get fun and interesting. No more attempts at Scholars Mate or other cheap tricks so both players can play some serious lines and test their knowledge.
@@travischampagne3252 Maybe play against bots? Even those 1200-1500 rated make very obvious blunders. Either that or start new account lmao (or take part in tournaments/arenas, you will face people both higher and lower rated than you)
Nelson, could you please share your thoughts on resign vs playing till the end. I fill it's like a waste of good game with honest ending if resign. Sometimes it saves a bit of time, but... I don't see any objectively strong reasoning to resign
I guess that doesn't work due to Qxe8, then after Qg8 blocking, white's queen can just go to e5 with another check, and the perpetual check is back again.
at time stamp 6:13 when they pulled their bishop back to A4 could you not have also played Queen A5 causing check with a fork on their bishop ? I realize you seldom pull your Queen out early, but seems like a free piece as well as possibly killing castling rights ( yes their Queen, knight and two pawns could block, but would not remove your ability to take A4 bishop for free )
3:37 why did he throw away his queen? i understand breaking the king's protection by taking the knight is bad, but surely throwing away your queen is worse? is there a forced mate im not seeing?
14:04 Opponent should have taken the knight, forcing the king away from the defense of the queen so the black rook can take white queen afterwards. Equal endgame after that
Lol watched the analysis, my continuation was to sac the ROoook I tried Knight takes as well and I don't think either one actually works... Darn computer being smarter than me again
@@mariuszpudzianowski8400The reason why people hate the London is because white has all the fun. It’s a boring opening, but ONLY for black. It just feels like there’s no good response against the London but if you have a recommendation lmk.
@@AP0PT0SIS I think Agadmator has an old video about c5, early Qb6 line (Levy did that too I guess?) which is alright unless white knows how to trap your queen. Generally look into Old Benoni defense, it has a lot of interesting ideas against all d4 setups, London included
But there were all of them deceived, as in the fires of World Championship Magnus forged a Master Blunder. He pulled of his tactical vision, endgame skills and his intellect into it. One blunder to rule them all.
The second game as black was a masterclass of defending that us lower rated players struggle with Identifying threats Not hanging pieces Making sure every critical square being attacked is defended Great game, let THEM make the mistake
1280 with an all time high of 1313. I’ve hit a bit of a slump but nowhere near as bad as when I first hit the 1190’s when I fell to low 1000’s. On a completely unrelated note, if you are in a slump, don’t just play games, chasing that one win before you call it quits. That’s how you lose 200 elo in one night.
Hey Nelson, what happened to your rating climb and chess adventures? I got kind hooked to watch these every day and I am missing my dose of daily chess. I dont want to switch to sb else like Gotham or these Botez Girls because I like your style more. Would be cool if you could upload more frequent.
Another awesome video well done. educating us on so many important ideas and aspects. You see alot of threats I don't see, and when you explain I see them. I also like that you play "normal" chess, so we get in positions that matters. I hope you get faced with the french defense soon, as I did not handle that well, would be cool to see you crush it :)
The thing about french at beginner level is that black gets this very closed position and often runs out of ideas quickly - it's still a great opening but you need to know A LOT to play it well
@@mariuszpudzianowski8400 True, I do check my games with the analyzer after, very helpful of learning what to do next time it happens. :) trying to understand why the engine wants to do that move. I don't always see it, but with explanations like in this video it's possible to understand all of the moves! :D
1 blunder is all it takes, falling in love with me

Didn't pass mine:) In fact, I'm going faster which is surprising.
Hey man when you upload new episode of chess adventure series
Keep up the good work!! Love it!!
Two types of 1200s on game 1 and 2
14:04 Opponent missed Qxf8 haha 🤣
Would be better QG7 instead of QH7, right?
@@chess26622 I haven't checked but confirm that is a playable move haha. Or the only move haha
The London is so solid. Opponent rated -1000 got a winning position with over 80% of their time remaining.
London is funny - it gets reputation of being boring and drawish, but once you study it you see there are many traps and strong attacking ideas
@@mariuszpudzianowski8400The reason why people hate the London is because white has all the fun. It’s a boring opening, but ONLY for black. It just feels like there’s no good response against the London but if you have a recommendation lmk.
@@AP0PT0SIS I think Agadmator has an old video about c5, early Qb6 line (Levy did that too I guess?) which is alright unless white knows how to trap your queen. Generally look into Old Benoni defense, it has a lot of interesting ideas against all d4 setups, London included
Nice job climbing up. Keep it up
Love these videos. they are so good.
Good games. Last game was very educational. Great recovery. What I got out of the last game. Seeing the mistake before you make it. Not easy
Hi Nelson sir..I wish to buy your course but as an indian am confused with payment options. Can anyone please help me??
In the 2nd game all his peices were on the back rank with white having a single rook on theirs and black is still winning lmaooo😂
But there were all of them deceived, as in the fires of World Championship Magnus forged a Master Blunder. He pulled of his tactical vision, endgame skills and his intellect into it. One blunder to rule them all.
The second game as black was a masterclass of defending that us lower rated players struggle with
Identifying threats
Not hanging pieces
Making sure every critical square being attacked is defended
Great game, let THEM make the mistake
love his streams ty nelson!! maybe one day i wont suck:)
One spoonful of blunder is all it takes!
After Bg5, stockfish likes Na5 Bb3. Nxb3 Be3 breaking the pin
ROOK to D1+ in the last game. Very surprised the engine doesn't rate that as an inaccuracy actually.
33:44
Can you plays d4 c5 sometimes?
3:05 what if white plays Nh7
24:09 just a random time
Whats everyone's rapid rating?
high 800s :(
1583 at the moment
1280 with an all time high of 1313. I’ve hit a bit of a slump but nowhere near as bad as when I first hit the 1190’s when I fell to low 1000’s.
On a completely unrelated note, if you are in a slump, don’t just play games, chasing that one win before you call it quits. That’s how you lose 200 elo in one night.
@@shotgunsteve9948 wtf this happened to me, i was a 1198 all time high then i just hit a slump now im 1034
600s lol
Hey Nelson,
what happened to your rating climb and chess adventures? I got kind hooked to watch these every day and I am missing my dose of daily chess.
I dont want to switch to sb else like Gotham or these Botez Girls because I like your style more. Would be cool if you could upload more frequent.
Was traveling and then the whole family got sick, sorry mate!
The london is so strong is actually cause some troubles
I was sure the best outcome for white in the last game would be a draw
Where can I play this? Can I play using my phone? I'm a newbie. Tia😎👍
Good work !
Stay sharp play smart
why wasn't g6 a good move for the second game?
Another awesome video well done. educating us on so many important ideas and aspects. You see alot of threats I don't see, and when you explain I see them. I also like that you play "normal" chess, so we get in positions that matters.
I hope you get faced with the french defense soon, as I did not handle that well, would be cool to see you crush it :)
The thing about french at beginner level is that black gets this very closed position and often runs out of ideas quickly - it's still a great opening but you need to know A LOT to play it well
@@mariuszpudzianowski8400 True, I do check my games with the analyzer after, very helpful of learning what to do next time it happens. :) trying to understand why the engine wants to do that move. I don't always see it, but with explanations like in this video it's possible to understand all of the moves! :D
another bad day to be 1200 as usual
99.9 accuracy crazy
didn't he miss the opportunity to capture light square bishop while giving check in 2nd game?
a little confused by a 1300 bot I seem to win 75% of the time yet I loose 50% of the time to 400 level live opponent
I don’t understand much of this (I’m a 900) but I do love to watch and lesson to Nelson who is the man in my book……
