Even though professional bowling might not be as complex as chess. But still like professional bowling you have to understand that you will have those bad days when you are playing chess. Where nothing seems to go right for you at all. Where you make mental mistakes, lapses in concentration, along with a variety of other things that can go wrong in a chess game. Even between two grand masters of the same rating can have the same things happen to them as well. So don't think you are so special and unique that you are immune to such things At the end of the day you are a human being, not a robot. So you will make mistakes.
Since I already knew from the thumbnail, I decided instead to guess all of the other ways they could blunder the queen. Qa2, Qb3, Qc4, Qb5, Qh5, Qe4, Qf3, Qd3, Qd2, any non-Queen move.
Whoa he messed up your head, probably. Mesmero in Marvel comics could get people to line up and wait their turn to jump to their deaths. This Canadian could be a chess mutant!
Firstly, thanks for sharing this loss with us, it's a brave thing to do. Watching this has made me feel better about the game I played today, where I miscalculated a line and turned a winning position into a losing one. If someone as good as you can lose whilst being a Queen up then there's hope for us all!
In my experience it causes trouble as soon as you expect your opponent to resign. You're in a mindset then of trying to get up for a contest you thought was already over.
The unexpected move of sacrificing the queen affects your thinking and throws you off balance. For most of the game you think about why he did it and how you use the advantage you got
Thanks so much for sharing this! This really shows that it could happen to anyone and the only way to overcome this is to just accept that it happens and move on and probably take a break. I've realized that it's way easier to play good games the next day rather than just trying to make things work the very same day.
Sorry to hear about your results. It's hard to improve and not to blunder. No matter what level you are and how good of a position, if you're playing someone better, most times they'll be able to beat you with excellent moves that eventually pressure you into a mistake. I've tried trading pieces to protect when up this will only work against equal or less rated players.
Something like this also happened to me a few weeks ago, where I was up a Rook and a knight in the opening, but then I lost a Bishop in the middlegame because I was panicking, and then I blundered a Rook, and then he did a Forced Queen Trade, and then I lost. The only difference is that it was 30 minute match lol
Might not be the best, but a really easy repertoire for beginners as black is to play King's Indian Defense against d4 and the Pirc Defense against e4. It's practically the same moves either way and not super hard to learn.
I’m tilted after watching what happened, Nelson. I’m still about 900-1000 but this makes me feel good. I learned from my granddad and his brothers and one thing they always preach is that GRANDMASTERS LOSE TOO.
I like that saying- it is what it is. Common but so true. People respect your bravery I think. You know a lot of chess TH-camrs probably don’t want to show certain games because they want to present a certain image of their skills as if they don’t make mistakes. I believe it makes you more enduring and is hacks can really relate to it. Congrats on the growth too you are growing exponentially Btw do some collabs like with the podcast Nelson. Reach out to Levy or someone you have enough subs and view whereby you will be respected by them and consideraed for such a thing. If you are doing this full time now you must have a plan for growth etc. viewers love collabs. Just trying to help I am one of those people that like to see people do well
Bishop to C8 (it pins the rook) If he protects his rook with the other rook by moving it to D1 then play your rook to B7. You'll be able to capture the (still pinned) rook next turn and get ahead 1 piece.
Well said Nelson , your right ! its all part of it and it happens to everyone. I came up with the term ' Cosmic Compensation ' for games like this. Thanks for giving me the idea for a new category in my library ' Most tilting games'. When a car almost hits you crossing the road dont keep standing there yelling at it because you might actually get runover. Let it go ! dust yourself off regroup and get back on that horse. "The past is nothing more than the trail that I have left behind. What drives my life today is the energy that I generate in each of my present moments." DR W. Dyer
Sorry about your loss. What would be a good set of videos would be to take some openings and say what the best strategy it ordinarily focusses on, eg. kingside, queenside, trying to get on x diagonal, ensure the cpawn moves, etc. There is so little between the opening and the middlegame.
Hi Nelson, I really love your commentary and the way you explain games. It's not as chaotic as some youtubers and it's really motiviating me to play chess. I see you are still affected by this game. I think it's great that you showed it. Most people I don't think would. It just goes to show how tough a blitz can be, even for players like yourself.
Thanks for answering that last question. Wasn’t the one who asked it, but I needed the answer to that. I started looking at puzzles, but they were all too advanced for me. I was doing that “multiplication before addition” tactic, and it wasn’t really helpful, so I kinda fell off of the puzzles. Guess I just had to do the easier ones first.
Right after watching this, the first game of bullet I played, I trapped my opponent's queen and won a queen for a pawn. Somehow I knew then that I would lose. I ended up winning more material, but I was thinking so much about your loss here that I was nervously expecting to lose somehow. I started to drift into a deer in the headlights mindlessness, frantically shuffling pieces with no purpose at all and I lost on time. I would say my results come down to 95% psychology and 5% knowledge. I start shaking so badly when I am nervous in a game that I can't move the mouse anymore. I used to be rated hundreds of points higher, but life events and emotions have changed results a lot, plus age and health changes can be factors. I watched this video because it was about tilt, which is the no. 1 destroyer of my chess. I have tilt periods that last months, not minutes.
Not that I'm a good player by any stretch but I had a game recently where I had kind of the opposite, I blundered my queen early on, but I kept playing and managed to clinch a victory! I think your game here is inspirational and can be looked at from both perspectives. Never get overconfident when ahead, and never give up when behind. 1. e4 e5 2. Bc4 Nc6 3. Qf3 Nf6 4. c3 d5 5. exd5 Nxd5 6. Bxd5 Qxd5 7. Qxd5 Be6 8. Qe4 O-O-O 9. Ne2 f5 10. Qe3 f4 11. Qe4 g6 12. Na3 Bf5 13. Qa4 Bh6 14. Nb5 Kb8 15. b3 e4 16. Bb2 f3 17. gxf3 exf3 18. Ng3 Rhe8+ 19. Kd1 Rxd2+ 20. Kc1 Rxf2+ 21. Kd1 Rd8+ 22. Ke1 Rxb2 23. Nxf5 gxf5 24. Rd1 f2+ 25. Kf1 Rxd1+ 26. Kg2 Rxh1 27. Kxh1 f1=Q#
That’s why bullet isn’t the best example of how good a player you are. I think you just kinda choked. You got to comfortable after being up and he took advantage of that
Hey Nelson, I had a similar thing happen to me once. I was playing 3 min blitz no increment and I was white in a guicco piano (e4 e5 nf3 nc6 bc4 bc5 *b4*) i played the evangs gambit and he accepted (bxb4 c3 ba5 d4) and my opponent took the pawn on c3 with the bishop (bxc3+) which just blunders the bishop with nxc3, but I overreacted and thought I had blundered and was getting forked so I resigned. I analysed and the engine gave like +2 then I realised I am a moron. Just wanted to share
Awesome video! Thank you for answering the questions we posted in Patreon! ❤️ This channel has the highest quality chess content on TH-cam for actually learning and improving in chess!
Wow you are really mentally so strong to show us this terrible defeat...everyone else on earth would just forgot it and never looking back. i'm impressed by your self-confidence and nerve.
I used to have a huge problem with tilting. But what I learned is that if I start losing and getting mad just do something else. Because if you keep playing when you’re mad you’re just gonna keep losing. Literally do anything else besides chess come back later and the tilt is gone
For me there are 2 kinds of Tilt - the immediate angry with yourself tilt (bad/stupid move), and the disgusted tilt (been playing like an idiot and the game is going downhill on roller skates). Sometimes we just let our guard down and it happens.
Had recently a game with a comparable advantage, didn't even let my guard down and still lost. I was up at least a rook and also almost mated the guy and still lost, very slowly. I knew I was in bad form but still can't understand how I lost that one. Objective evaluations are practically meaningless outside engine play is all I can conclude.
Bullet, this can happen. I lost 1 month ago when a was a piece up in a bad QGA in a 10 minutes game. I stopped completely with chess for some weeks. Now I have better results.
I like that In the Caro kann u always get a similar position u just gotta learn it and they can't rly suprise u because u suprise them with it. Kinda same with London system at lower elo like u can play french Caro kann and London which is like the easiest theory Carokann is very similar to french and London is generally easier to learn.
Sometimes I've been totally winning whilst the app is only defending or just playing some random moves then suddenly I'm in checkmate with its inactive pieces or it forks my queen or sacs a piece so it can break through with a pass pawn
you sir got me into chess i enjoy the games i have lost so many times from amazing positions this video inspires me to play to the end most people I play when they loose their queen quit I like to play to the end so I learn. chess is fun to me
Can u ask ur opponent what the purpose of moving the queen like that? Is that a tactic to make u over confident, premove like u said, or anything else? Never play bullet even blitz. Im slow thinker and can not enjoying fast play. So any tips for someone like me to play chess faster? Really terrible. Lots defeat by time in 30min even mistly im good in position. So i play 1hour. Have to wait long for someone online willing to play that. 2nd theme : Why Scandi look like never been played at GM rated. IDK, never seen one in GM rated. Im always play that though, by same idea as you said... If i play e5, i have to anticipated lot of variation. By d5, then i who decide 1st even if im black but look like i have 1st chance.
Just imagine how Hikaru felt blundering his Queen after trash talking Eric Rosen. He did a pretty good job of laughing it off but I guarantee you that one stung a little bit. If you play chess it's going to happen. I usually take comfort in the fact that I have done it to other people as well. Especially in short time control anything can happen.
Hikaru wasn't up in material and actually had a losing position already, it was "simply" a queen blunder. Being up a queen and losing has gotta sting on another level
I played terribly against a "hobby player" yetserday. I gave him an extra rook to start with to make the game more even. But later I sacrificed a piece, which was just screaming to be played. However, alghugh my move turned out to be correct, I thought I saw a mate in a couple and gave up my queen. But he had an escape square. I actually had a forced mate in 4 instead, which was easy to see. I made the mistake of not looking at the most forcing line first. Then when I saw the mate, I should have checked more carfully square for square, since it is easy to make a visualisation error when you look ahead several moves. After my bad queen move, I tilted and only got a piece back. I should have takend hs lose piece first and then his queen by a discovered check - that way I would still be in a losing position, but being a piece down is far better than being a queen down for just a piece! Fortunately from there on I played better and he losed the thread and gave me very active pieces that created numerous threats so I eventually won anyway.
Damn…. If you submit that to “guess the elo” Gotham will laugh for hours. That being said, no matter what game you play, mental stability plays a big role. Unfortunately at this time you were at the wrong side of this.
I've been trying the King's Indian Defense myself against D4 recently. I have to say, I'm not disappointed with it. I might look into the Scandinavian, though I'm a little scared of the idea of moving my queen so many times.
I think a very large majority believes once they "arrive" as a competent player (most thinking a nice round number like 2000 ought to do the trick), they will no longer have to suffer such indignities. They believe this despite there being numerous YT videos that provide evidence which wholly refutes such a thing. SGMs, including MC, blunder. You can watch a several-minutes long video of MC blundering pieces and mates. Human chess is not Engine chess. It involves luck. Good luck AND bad luck. Did your opponent realize after move 5 that 15 moves later all of his pieces would end up on the perfect squares to leave you in complete jail? Nope. It's just a vagary of the huge possibility space that is the game (massively beyond any human's control). Did you have anything to do with blundering a piece and then your opponent not seeing the blunder...thus bailing you out? Nope. Does that mean chess isn't really the absolute perfect setting in which one's mental prowess can be proved? Afraid so. Human chess involves good days and bad days. And it always will. No one is exempt from that. You're not going anywhere or proving anything...except for resiliency, if you so dare. You need to find satisfaction with that. If not, you are setting yourself up for disappointment. One day you will reach your last peak. Everyone has a last peak. And every single one of them are woefully deficient in terms of Engine chess. Be humble. Find enjoyment in the ride...until you don't. Then move on. Like Schrantz is doing.
I'm a horrible chess player and have blundered up the wazoo....but I kept playing the game and sometimes won just by shear audacity and tenacity. I am not even good enough to be seriously rated so for me it is not an ego thing, a fun pass time.
To be fair, from the way you described your thought process, the reason you lost, was the fact that after your opponent's start, you didn't take the game seriously enough, and got complacent. I would be willing to bet, that this was the real purpose of the queen move. Winning psychologically rather than tactically is how your opponent played you. And I would imagine it's a more successful strategy than statistics would ever be able to show. That's the lesson here.

technically you didn't guess it though lol

In my experience it causes trouble as soon as you expect your opponent to resign. You're in a mindset then of trying to get up for a contest you thought was already over.
well said
to be fair you had a scummy opponent. Imagine trying to premove trap and then refusing to resign when the queen is lost
When you get a Queen for free you let your concentration relax and you take yourself out of the battle.
The unexpected move of sacrificing the queen affects your thinking and throws you off balance.
For most of the game you think about why he did it and how you use the advantage you got
Thanks so much for sharing this! This really shows that it could happen to anyone and the only way to overcome this is to just accept that it happens and move on and probably take a break. I've realized that it's way easier to play good games the next day rather than just trying to make things work the very same day.
And this is why bullet chess is stupid. It forces you to do stupid things or lose on time.
Thanks Nelson! Your suggestions on improving visualization and calculation skills are spot on.
Your analogy of the car with 5 problems to fix is helpful and insightful. Thank you
I was 4 pawns ahead and i lost the game all of those were passer 😢
this is exactly why you should never resign
Ooof I'm in the middle of a tilt myself! Lost 100 pts last week. Went back to your videos and puzzles to get me back on track.

3:25 what about Qe5 or Qe6? I always offer a queen trade then develop quickly as white if that's the case. Not blocking with the bishop
Love your channel and style. Helps me a lot!

I can't find a good solution for the last position shown. E5 seems to be the only move that doesn't lead to eventual disaster for Black.

If he protects his rook with the other rook by moving it to D1 then play your rook to B7.
You'll be able to capture the (still pinned) rook next turn and get ahead 1 piece.

Thank you. I feel so stupid when I play chess sometimes. I'm glad I'm not the only one.
My personal solution to tilt... lots of blood pressure meds... like a lot.
Can't imagine tilting over a bullet game. If I lost that in blitz or rapid I'd be tilted, but bullet what happens happens.
Can u ask ur opponent what the purpose of moving the queen like that?
Is that a tactic to make u over confident, premove like u said, or anything else?
Never play bullet even blitz. Im slow thinker and can not enjoying fast play. So any tips for someone like me to play chess faster? Really terrible. Lots defeat by time in 30min even mistly im good in position. So i play 1hour. Have to wait long for someone online willing to play that.
2nd theme :
Why Scandi look like never been played at GM rated. IDK, never seen one in GM rated. Im always play that though, by same idea as you said... If i play e5, i have to anticipated lot of variation. By d5, then i who decide 1st even if im black but look like i have 1st chance.
Yep I also play kings indian with the start of the dragon to protect my knight it's a really strong start for black
You're the Greatest! Thank you! Good advice.
This is the reason why this time control should be called bullshit instead of bullet.

And by the way why did you go for the harder queenside castle when your opponent has no queen?
If you are ahead, how about trading pawns instead ?
I always consider that.
wow. i'm terrible at bullet and i don't think i could have lost this game witout 10 mouslips. Thats crazy ass hell.
Nah, this guy is a smurf who wanted to play without a queen.

However, alghugh my move turned out to be correct, I thought I saw a mate in a couple and gave up my queen. But he had an escape square. I actually had a forced mate in 4 instead, which was easy to see. I made the mistake of not looking at the most forcing line first. Then when I saw the mate, I should have checked more carfully square for square, since it is easy to make a visualisation error when you look ahead several moves. After my bad queen move, I tilted and only got a piece back. I should have takend hs lose piece first and then his queen by a discovered check - that way I would still be in a losing position, but being a piece down is far better than being a queen down for just a piece! Fortunately from there on I played better and he losed the thread and gave me very active pieces that created numerous threats so I eventually won anyway.
So this happens to everyone and not just me. ❤
Damn…. If you submit that to “guess the elo” Gotham will laugh for hours.
That being said, no matter what game you play, mental stability plays a big role. Unfortunately at this time you were at the wrong side of this.
I've been trying the King's Indian Defense myself against D4 recently. I have to say, I'm not disappointed with it.
I might look into the Scandinavian, though I'm a little scared of the idea of moving my queen so many times.
from now on I'm gonna premove Bxg2 in that position
don't worry, that happens to me in 5min games, let alone bullet!
he gave you his queen, messed up your hair, and said, "good game, scrub"
"9 out of 10 times im going to win this game" *botez gambit noises intensify*
I think a very large majority believes once they "arrive" as a competent player (most thinking a nice round number like 2000 ought to do the trick), they will no longer have to suffer such indignities. They believe this despite there being numerous YT videos that provide evidence which wholly refutes such a thing. SGMs, including MC, blunder. You can watch a several-minutes long video of MC blundering pieces and mates. Human chess is not Engine chess. It involves luck. Good luck AND bad luck. Did your opponent realize after move 5 that 15 moves later all of his pieces would end up on the perfect squares to leave you in complete jail? Nope. It's just a vagary of the huge possibility space that is the game (massively beyond any human's control). Did you have anything to do with blundering a piece and then your opponent not seeing the blunder...thus bailing you out? Nope. Does that mean chess isn't really the absolute perfect setting in which one's mental prowess can be proved? Afraid so. Human chess involves good days and bad days. And it always will. No one is exempt from that. You're not going anywhere or proving anything...except for resiliency, if you so dare. You need to find satisfaction with that. If not, you are setting yourself up for disappointment. One day you will reach your last peak. Everyone has a last peak. And every single one of them are woefully deficient in terms of Engine chess. Be humble. Find enjoyment in the ride...until you don't. Then move on. Like Schrantz is doing.
That was the Botez Gambit!
Tilt is a really massive problem, I’m 1100 and I’d resign on move 5 if I blunder a pawn because I’d feel tilted when I really shouldn’t be doing that.
its only chess
chill
I resign when I blunder a pawn too because I get mad lol I just hate playing while losibg
Nice video I think this will be a good series
Come on bro you can’t take bullet too seriously
I'm a horrible chess player and have blundered up the wazoo....but I kept playing the game and sometimes won just by shear audacity and tenacity. I am not even good enough to be seriously rated so for me it is not an ego thing, a fun pass time.
I appreciate you showing this
No judgement, this stuff happens when you are under pressure
To be fair, from the way you described your thought process, the reason you lost, was the fact that after your opponent's start, you didn't take the game seriously enough, and got complacent. I would be willing to bet, that this was the real purpose of the queen move. Winning psychologically rather than tactically is how your opponent played you. And I would imagine it's a more successful strategy than statistics would ever be able to show. That's the lesson here.
I'm guessing the opponent plays Bg4? Edit: Aht! That's cheeky.
That must have hurt ^^
i predicted the move they played in the first game because i saw the thumbnail XD
Dude gets hits by the Botez Gambit and lose it.
The answer was in the thumbnail, so not really an unexpected twist.
That's basically what I play as black. My win rate with white is 55%. My win rate with black is 70%.
this is why I don't play blitz/bullet. well, more like why I lose at blitz/bullet
is the move qxg2
