“What move would you play?” “Kb3” “Ok well if you said Kb3 you would lose the game”

People who know how opposition works would say it

​@@FreGee1I also assumed that you'd be able to maintain tempo with the pawn checks. Black only needs 5 moves to promote (well, 6, but 1 comes with a forced response that doesn't let you progress), but you can force them to spend moves on their king too, and are a lot more likely to promote with check. It doesn't surprise me too much that there's a winning line for black, but I don't know how high of a rating before people start reliably finding it in quick time controls.

well, my impressive skills allow me to play Kc2 and still ... lose!

As a beginner these videos are great for me, I recently also managed to force a draw using king and pawn using opposition rule

This man has talent.. he is the only man in history to have the exact same haircut indefinitely

At first when you said Kb3 was wrong, I was like, no. Because you can use the king to guard the pawns, push them and put his king in check creating tempo. But at the end of the video, I learned how strong these 2 pawns really are. Thank you for a great lesson. My game has improved.

What an endgame and a lesson and you helped me in using pawns in a correct way to tie up opponent king. There's also opposition and triangulation it is really important to learn it.

Thanks for this lesson, endgame is really underrated.

Thanks a lot

I have a memorable game from not long ago. I had two isolated pawns (neither was a passed pawn) Vs opponents 5 pawns. They didn't know any of these rules so I just played solid as I could and they blundered one move, I won a Queen promotion by one move and then could fork check and their advanced pawn. One I captured, they resigned. At 1100 elo I never resign for this reason.

Silmans complete endgame course goes into this in more detail. Its the best chess book ever written.

Thank you Nelson. Great info, and you explain things so well!

Thats was brilliant, Nelson! You made it so easy.

Immediately makes sense because Black's king is stuck guarding the white pawns. Excellent and instructive video!

Super helpful. Thank you!

Thank you for showing these principles! Love your chess lessons.

I watch a lot of your videos. You are the first ive seen explain this concept. Thanks

This is the most helpful king pawn endgame video. I'd have gone wrong a couple of times. I just need to try to remember these principles

good video nels, needed this

Excellent practical endgame lesson!

For a first time I got all the right moves before you said them, in split second, that's a good feeling 🙂 Thank you for your lessons, keep them comming!

VERY GOOD nELSON, ALWAYS LEARN SOMETHING FROM YOUR VIDEOS! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

Thank you

Hey nelson, could you do a video on the piano game? your teaching style is great and would love to know some principles after the initial book moves

Congratulations Nelson!! The way you are teaching us is very good. I would play 9. Kg7 couse I think it's wining move too, but with 9. c4 I see one new motive for me. The triangle rule I knew it like " The square" from Jesus De La Villa book, but the way you present it's easier and more practical. Congratulations and thank you

Definitely helpful after the dust settles

This is the good stuff

It also appears that 1. Kc1 would win the game, because White can still get over to the kingside. 8:49 Whenever Black pushes the h-pawn, White has to move the king closer to it. But when Black moves the king, White is free to do something else. (It's like White is playing a "sum" of two games.)

You could play pawn a4 and black play something like king c5 then king c2 bishop a1 and king b2 bishop is trapt ❤❤❤😂

Thanks Nelson I’m working through dvoretsky and am slowly improving this helps a lot

Why not a4 at the beginning? Saving the knight and still capturing the bishop

thats what I thought too

This was a very helpful video, as I usually just misuse my pawns in endgame.

I think I can be pretty good on the king and pawn endgames!

Immediately upon seeing the a-passer I'd assume it had to do with the unstoppable pawns. Interestingly, connected passers or with a file inbetween cannot advance without help. So if both colors have them or the side with them has a confined king, it's a draw.

Nice puzzle. I would have lost that one

Inside the box or outside the box? Important for pawn endgames and soccer penalty shots 😂

Where can I find the vids with the crypto chess coins?

6:58 im a 1250 rated player and a4 is the obvious best move to me i dont know why youre acting like its a strange move

I have a challenge for you, his name is Kings Mountain, here are the rules: you have to get to the last square with the king, but if you are checked by the last three squares then you have lost. you are not allowed to promote any pawns or you are not allowed to allow your opponent to promote a pawn. If there are only three of the stronger pieces left then you are not allowed to kill any of them except pawns. Pawns from your opponents or from you can always be killed. (difficult version: if you are checked on the last five squares you have lost. If there are only five stronger pieces left with your opponents, you are not allowed to kill any more. You are not allowed to promote your pawn And don't let your opponent do that either. If you only have three stronger pieces left, none of them can be killed or you'll lose.) good luck

hello can you play nelson with a queen and a bishop ̣

You had a win from the start it looks like.. Why not Nd4+ from the beginning? It’s then defended, king has to move, so you can Kc2. Forces Ba1 or they lose it. Then Nb3 threatens bishop and will win it one way or another on the next move.

I'm surprised Nelson actually won against the infamous hacker known as 4chan

now imagine the king has an ability to move 2 squares to easily gobble up the pawn!

If at the start, the opponent did move their bishop to A1, because that would have made you take the king further away from the black pawns to make the trade, would that have changed the game's outcome?

If I understand correctly, you're saying what if the first two moves are 1. Kc2 Ba1? In that case, white doesn't actually have to hunt down the black's bishop right away (like Nelson suggested), because the bishop is already trapped by the white king and the pawn on c3! So White can just save his knight with his 2nd move, and win by snagging all black's pawns (or hunting down the bishop with the knight first).

7:43 if white pushes the a pawn here isn't black just faster with the h pawn?

White king can catch the h-pawn, but black king won't be able catch the a-pawn.

But... what happened next? Did the opponent resign right there? Did the match continue for a bit? If so, what came next?

Is the pawn called Harry because of the H file?

Lol i lost the game 😂. Nelson said

LIKE by default

Wowo

The solution is completely wrong. If black did not push the pawn to f4, but moved king to c4, then white is out of trick. If white continue the process in the above, then either black will be able to take both white's a and c pawn, or promote h file pawn.

After black Kc4 instead of f4, the rest moves are: Kc2 h5 a4 Kc5 Kd2 Kc4 a5 Kc5 c4 Kc6 Ke2 Kc5 a6 Kb6 then white lose a file pawn

@@anthonyrooksacif black play Kc4, then white still win cuz a4 and black had nothing by this following: If Kc5 try to go after A pawn, then Kd3 get closer to black f5 pawn, if f4 then it doesn't matter cuz gxf4, h5 and white King already in the box. If black King try to stop white pawns with Kb6, then c6 and where do you go, Ka5 or Kc5? doesn't matter, you, LOSE.

Incorrect. Whites a and c pawns can protect themselves. Whites king does not have to defend them he can easily stop blacks pawns with his king and 1 remaining queenside pawn
