Instead of just simple trades, look for more powerful ways to keep the pressure up 5:04 6. A free knight or bishop is better than an exchange (rook for knight trade) 6:05 7. Moving your queen to d4 is much better, when it can NOT be attacked by a knight 6:48 8. Try to avoid the opening lines your opponent is most comfortable with 8:00 9.

The real MVP right here!

I love these videos! Principle 27 has been massive for me lately. This came up in the time management course as well about thinking about your opponents general ideas during their time, and switching my thinking to this instead of drilling further into my own goals has made me notice important things I’d previously overlooked so many times since!

Compiling so many clips from different videos you have done in the past to create a comprehensive video loaded with super contents is very commendable and shows you did a lot of research! Superb as always. Well done Nelson

Using your video I was able to go from 2000 ELO to 1000. Thanks!

Principle 17 was a very helpul tip right there! i hope if my opponents engage their queen too early, i could try trapping their queen just like it was shown the example!

Hi! Can you please make a more comprehensive video about the King’s Indian? I saw a short one where you were teaching your wife the first few moves but you didn’t go any further. It’d be great to know how to handle the middle game and other ideas. Thanks❤❤

Great video! Btw principle 1 and 25 (25:16) are the same except one has more emphasis.

thanck so much master!

i am in1800-2000 range but still watching just to ensure if I dont miss any single principle

Nice tips, hope to get to 1000 someday.

u can do it!

Principle 34 is great, I intensively look at it every day

I actually think a rook for knight trade is better than a free piece, IF the opponent has 2 rooks because they can actually get a lot of counterplay, even though their down a piece, but with a rook and a piece, they don't have the same thing.

Great tips!

23:17 theres a feee rook and a knight because the pawn is pinned so you can take the knight with bishop

I'm 1500 and I still watch these videos because there are very instructive and they give me new ideas!

Challenge: play the best Ron Weasley chess game, your a8 rock, f8 bishop and g8 knight cant be captured. Start from Martin and check who will be 1st to stop you :)

Hi Nelson!

Can you make some story ?

34 Principles for lousy 1000 ELO? That's quite a lot to learn. Chess seems to be very complicated.

Lousy? 1000 ELO may be low compared to people who have studied the game for many years, but it puts you above a great deal of chess players.
