@@Ozasuke appreciate it!! 🙏🏼 wish I hadn’t fallen for the trap. It’s also common in the fantasy variation but I was thrown off by the move order. Still a good learning opportunity
ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS SERIES NELSON!!!! Been watching for about a year and this is definitely the best series for helping me improve!!! 1200 and climbing 😊❤ love you Nelson
That was a funny moment at the 2-3 minute mark where we saw Nelson state “this is just your standard main line here” and then the transfer to his opponent saying “wow this is a crazy game, so many curve balls” hahaha
The power of opening preparation. This gambit is really mean and it's so easy to fall into it as caro player because in most lines you pin that knight with the bishop so if you don't know this or play too quickly you fall for it
This series is the best and most useful available on chess. Showing the perspectives of each player is great for lower and upper intermediates to even some advanced players how to improve their chess. Great great, job. Chess vibes
Loving this series as a novice player. Learning so much as game is against a good players that are not masters, and I find myself trying to figure things out with them, and then watching the master think- and, I am like wow. Keep this coming, best stuff on internet for me to learn chess in real time.
I finally broke through the 1200 range after watching your videos. It's extremely helpful to hear the mindset of a good player. It's helped me to not blunder or hang my own pieces as much.
You should be able to get to somewhere around 16-1700 just by not blundering, decent time management, and slowly improving your position. It's boring chess, but would definitely get you somewhere around that elo. Until that range It's mostly just a blunder standoff.
The fact that you explain all your thoughts and possible movements for each piece, it's a game changer Nelson! One of the very few that is doing that and helps a ton all of us lower rated chess players.
What a great video, loving seeing the different perspective back to back, always fun to see the difference in calculations. If you're looking for a new challenger I'd be happy to join the series!
This is a fantastic video to illustrate the importance of opening theory knowledge. Had Cameron seen this line with Caro Kann the entire game would have been more competitive.
Nelson, I love this series but can I suggest that when you do this you play each opponent once as white and once as black since players often play each color very different and will give greater insight into how they approach things differently at various elo? More likely we can see if there's a difference in attacking and defending strengths etc.
Love the series (and your other videos too!), but I think it would be good to avoid tricky opening traps - I think it shines best when you and your opponent enter the middlegame in more or less equal position. It allows the viewers to get the most out of the thinking process, as in case of this game for example, after the trap is executed, it's just beating a dead horse (no offence to Cameron, he defended really well, especially under the pressure of time and so many people viewing these videos). This format allows to nicely see what difference in thinking leads to a position advantage and eventual win when playing solid openings - when playing traps, it doesn't require a grandmaster to understand what went wrong ^^
My guy @8:30 is going over lines that hangs mate. If Nbd7 just developing and after Nxf6,Gxf6 to recapture towards the center, then Qh5 is mate because u got rid of the kings escape square
The videos where you ruin the players in the opening can be hard to watch. They already are unlikely to win going in and then six moves in you wreck em it’s an inevitability.
He played really well much better than I would have don’t but I noticed he suffered from paralysis by analysis. May just be cause he was playing a better player. Might be worth having the convo with the other players before and tell them to just play like it’s any other game don’t over think to hard.
I'm honestly surprised how many people like the Caro-Kann opening. I like the King's Indian Defense but it doesn't seem to be very popular, so it's hard to find good games that use it.
I think you would’ve ended up Checkmating him had he not lost on time he didn’t have many options with his king and like you pointed out if he took the rook with his knight you would swoop in with your Queen and it would be game over I would’ve liked to have seen the actual checkmate but good game you really outplayed him like a guy with 500 more pts ratings should 😅thanks for the game enjoyed watching
I love this series, but It feels like bullying I would love to see you take on much higher players and see their thought process, It would much interesting in my opinion.
Thanks again for the game, Nelson! Great experience and love the video!
Great match, Cameron! Subscribed and looking forward to more videos on your channel. PTFC!

you let your clock get way too low. Your first 10 moves should take less than 1 minute total.
@@userac-xpgtime management is certainly an area of my game that I need to improve!
You did way better than most of us would’ve dw

easiest way to avoid opening traps is to develop both knights early to c6 and f6
@@userac-xpg Easiest way to avoid opening traps? starting from the middle game.
Love this series Nelson!!! This is educational and hilarious to hear your competitors muse over their moves as well! More please!
Really enjoying this series. Both perspectives are entertaining and educational
23:26 slide the rook to to e1 if he threaten to mate then slide the Qe2 thats counter attack while defending the mate

Don't feel bad Cameron. I learned a lot from both of you watching this. Nelson would have had me checkmated way earlier in the game.
Love these series. Great idea.
I like this format a lot, great commentary from both of you 👍

What did breaking through the 1200 range entail for you? Asking for a friend..😂

Deploing a dubious gambit to confuse a 700 rating points weaker opponent doesn't seem fair or necessary to me :)
Cameron gets a lot of credit for playing on after the early setbacks that made it all an uphill battle.
This is a fantastic video to illustrate the importance of opening theory knowledge. Had Cameron seen this line with Caro Kann the entire game would have been more competitive.

This type of videos that show the thinking process is forced us to watch the full video❤

Immediately scary for the opponent when the video duration is that short!

I can't find the video on his channel. Where is it?
Hope we can have more of these videos
16:00, what about Rxf6?
The queen was hanging
The videos where you ruin the players in the opening can be hard to watch. They already are unlikely to win going in and then six moves in you wreck em it’s an inevitability.
I love these videos, there cool/awesome all of your videos are.
Love these videos
Love the series! If you need another 1700 I’d love to play!
Where’d he gets his glasses from?! They’re sickkk
Tough for Cameron!
4:40 maybe we'll switch it up"
You can just say, I want to make the video longer
Hopefully you’ll play chess giants hippo next in this series, similar rating as well
Love this!
Beautiful game!!
This was fun and exhausting. I don’t have a rating, so I could barely follow what was going on. What a great mental workout.🐸
White rook to F6 at 17:15 would result in checkmate in one more move
Oh, the actor that plays Johnny Depp at 2:35 told Wow! This is wild, wild opening from national master @nelson lopez. 🎉
Can you explain the new opening ? The alien opening???
Alien Gambit 🗣️🗣️
17:18 why not Rook F7? He can't move bishop
Love these
What is the Gambit called?
Very interesting series, but as 2150 lichess rapid and classical player, I want to see more higher rated opponents thinking process.
Take on Gotham!
He played really well much better than I would have don’t but I noticed he suffered from paralysis by analysis. May just be cause he was playing a better player. Might be worth having the convo with the other players before and tell them to just play like it’s any other game don’t over think to hard.
GREAT IDEA
Nice gameplay bro ❤
I'm guessing cam hasn't dropped his video yet?
Nelsi you may wanna swap to the other green board this one’s starting to look dusty
Could you Nelson okay against me once. Am 901 rated in rapid , so you can show the thinking process of lower rated players as well
Why are you adding 8 sec?
Hope I become better after this
I'm honestly surprised how many people like the Caro-Kann opening. I like the King's Indian Defense but it doesn't seem to be very popular, so it's hard to find good games that use it.
I mean one is a response to e4 and KID to d4 so i guess that's the difference?
Excellent game... I am old and slow and hate the clock time, ruins the purity of chess.
Rook to f6 next to queen
YOU SHOULD HAVE PLAYED OUT THE TRAP NELSON
I think you would’ve ended up Checkmating him had he not lost on time he didn’t have many options with his king and like you pointed out if he took the rook with his knight you would swoop in with your Queen and it would be game over I would’ve liked to have seen the actual checkmate but good game you really outplayed him like a guy with 500 more pts ratings should 😅thanks for the game enjoyed watching
I love this type of content. After some of my good games I flip the board to try to get in my opponent's mind so this is perfect.💪👏👍🙏

tough luck for Cameron, he lost on time! Nelson is a tough NM player!
❤
There should be an option that Nelson has to play 5+0 and opponent gets 15+15
can you play nelson with a queen and a bishop (i have been asking for 1 million years) (also first)
Somehow i think i play better lol
How is this guy a 1500?loollll. I'm 1600 and would so easily defeat him
don't know how he got that high with how much time he wastes early.
true, he has to recapture a piece and he thinks like 12 minutes lol
