This is an apology for some unkind works I wrote when you were not feeling well. I do enjoy your videos and of course they are educational. Thank you and keep up the good work! James E C
The reason why I love your videos is that you are doing your thinking process out loud, I usually stop the Video and think: what would I do if I was playing this game? then I come up with some options and choose one of then, continue the video and figure out where did I go wrong with my thinking process.
Hey Nelson, it's been a while since I checked in, been going through the rating climb and I think it's some of your most informative work, hope you're doing well
For gout, diet and staying away from alcohol (especially beer) is the best course of treatment (I'm a gout sufferer), but allopurinol medication has been a lifesaver for me. It has not completely eliminated the gout attacks, but it's been so much more rare after I got on it. This medication reduces the release of uric acid into the blood as far as I know and is one of the two main medications for gout.
As a wife, new to chess, who also likes to think.....let her try a few games at 10 minutes and see which she prefers ;) I will totally sit and watch her play and cheer her on. :)
on game win 203 is there a difference between the kings indian opening you played and the one you taught your wife. I know it ends up the same but is that way better or just different?
Unless you're way stronger than your rating, NO ONE'S rating just goes straight up. After college and 6 years off and maturing, my rating went pretty much straight up 400 points in OTB tourney play over a year. But other than that, it's ALWAYS been a long slow struggle, even when I was playing a lot.
Heads up Nelson, this one is not in the playlist. There are a few that it's missing and I'll try to comment on them. Hope your health has improved in the recent months.
The first game, at about 9:38, after he plays c5, you can just play ... e4 and fork his knights and win a piece. You were so focused on winning that c5 pawn that I think you both missed that.
I'm always feel like Nelson has calculated all that but for some reason doesn't say a word about it. Maybe Nelson really did miss it, but if would be nice for him to bring it up nonetheless.
Dear Nelson, I've been closely following and learning from your guidance and insights. Your channel is the only one I consistently tune into. I must admit, I never expected watching chess to be so captivating. However, at 19:45, I wasn't entertained. Care to guess why?
About your wife playing chess. I knew a guy who was in the last club I played in, before I had to quit playing chess (due to my working evenings). He wasn't a very good player, but he was what I'd call a solid 1300 man who did a lot of good work for the club. Now, his wife was playing too, but only once did she ever win a game - a team game, otherwise she always lost. Suddenly after many years they both left the club, because they found they enjoyed Bingo more! I'd hate to lose you to Bingo, Nelson - although it might be better for your health.

Wdym?
When?
Instead of throwing money at people it's better to sincerely apologize.... And show remorse by not doing that again.

Missed this one also. Hope you feel better Nelson.

Thanks!
Appreciate that!
I wish you wouldn't skip the analysis, it is one of the most instructive parts.
Just curious, did you have a Knight E6 tactic at 20:02?

God bless brother, I love your playstyle and explanations so much. Hope you feel better soon

Wouldn't be good for TH-cam.
@JP-jd5vz they can speed up a video x6 maybe or smthn like that
Really enjoying your video content. I won my highest rated game yesterday after watching your kings Indian video with your wife.
Your games are quite instructive. Just tipped you to help you keep up the good work. I wish you a prompt and good recovery.
Much appreciated!
17:30 that was such a good ending to a game; I learned so much from watching it. Lol.
me too

Haven’t watched these rating climbs and my personal rating went down lol

Well I went from 400 to 1100 in a month from watching these videos..

Second game was an unforgettable lesson! Thanks

You are a nice person. And your wife is, too. I appreciate you all.

First and sadly missed this
Don't pronounce the "t" at the end of "en passant". Literal meaning "while passing by".
