Not the 1st video I watched on this channel, which I only recently discovered, and it looks like Nelson Lopez is fantastic at explaining things so that *everyone* would understand, not skipping any scenario, not going too fast, nor too slow, which is rare coming from professionals! Also, great choice of problems., puzzles, end games and what not. Kudos and keep it coming!

How is your leg doing I’ll be praying for you

A rare problem where I knew the right move in each position. Must have been one of the easiest problems Nelson has presented 🙂

I mean, it's a 5 piece endgame and 2 of those pieces are pawns so yeah, it's quite easy to calculate.

Continue with your good work. Love your videos!

Interesting puzzle! Looks like you might have the year of the puzzle upside down

Just to be clear, playing a7 instead of b5 also works.

I was thinking that too. It'd go something like 1. a7 Bxa7 2. Kxa7 Kc6 3. Ka6 and white has a non-flank pawn protected by the king

@@skylardeslypere9909 I believe in response black would play kc7, threatening to go to b8, and that's a stalemate if you allow him, or it's a stalemate by repetition with the kings moving up and down if you stop him.

Great moves Nelson. Please keep them coming!!

I hope you feel good❤

Great puzzle. Not too difficult, still made you think. More "easy" ones please.

Hope you feel better man. Interesting puzzle!

I guessed it right this time. I this puzzle is easier than Ur other puzzles.

4:53 here no matter which pawn you push, white still wins. There was no reason for thinking. a7 also wins because of the following lines: 1. a7 Bxa7 2. Kxa7 Kc6 (2... Kc7 or 2... Kc8 loses because the white king is able to escort the pawn after 3. b5) 3. Ka6 Kc7 4. b5 Kc8 (4... Kb8 loses because there is 5. Kb6 and depends on where the black king goes white are able to play either 6. Ka7 or 6. Kc7 and safely escort the pawn) And here after 5. Ka7 white is able to escort the pawn. The reason I wrote this is I thought that a7 was the right move after doing this calculation and after you said that b5 was correct I was kinda upset because I got all the other moves right which never happened before. Please be more accurate next time :)

The moment I saw this, I immediately thought a5, but not for the purpose of black, but I did see through this puzzle and passed it.

Cool puzzle ❤

I was literally able to find every correct move‼

4:51 a7 move also wins!

Thanks for your nice videos. Waiting for Bobby Fisherman's story

Could you please continue the Fisherman series? Also you stopped doing Martin challenges.

What would you do if you was Black in this game? What is the best way to lure white to make a blunder and you get a draw?

keep your bishop on the g1-a7 diagonal. Try to exchange it for white's b pawn getting your king close enough to stop the other pawn, or trap white's king on the A file blocking his pawn, or snap off the a pawn if you can get your king in front of the b pawn and not let white get his king 2 squares in front of the b pawn. If white can get his king 2 squares in front of a non rook pawn with no pieces on the board the game is always a win for white.

Black to move 1st, I'd play Ba5. When white advances his pawn, take it. When the White King takes the Bishop, then Black King runs to the corner.

I never thought I’d get every single line right in one of these videos and then EVEN THE A7 AND B6 WORK!!! Even as a 2700 in puzzles I’m Proud of that 😁

I got the first move from the thumbnail. Then every other move wrong 😂

finally a puzzle i can solve

I saw the first move just from the thumbnail, so I was well pleased and I thought I'd cracked it. Then I got every other move wrong 😂

I believe flank pawns mean pawns not on the d- or e-file (these are center pawns), and those on a- or h-file should be called rook pawns (on the files which rooks on at the start of the game)

@LordArpamies

they are. rook pawn, knight pawn, bishop pawn and so on. weird that a NM calls rook pawn a flank pawn.

Hope you're doing better!

a5? Because the B pawn is the sheild

Hi, when/are you going to release another course? 1500-1800~?

Hey, it’s a puzzle I can fully calculate.

Man i started watching you a week ago And i already climbed from 1500 to 1600

the first puzzle on chess vibes that i sloved without cheating

White wins regardless of which pawn he moves at 5:06.

5:06 b6 also wins for Team White)

Even I got this one. Quite easy.

Nice to get a puzzle I can solve for once. 😅

4:50 why b5? cant you just push a7 right away and bishop has to take and if you take back, black is too late to go for the b pawn anyways?

Got them all right. Was this a 1500's puzzle.

Great puzzle. I hope your health is getting better, Nelson? Take care for now.

a5... I haven't seen the video yet.

Alexsanek78 the guy who ragestalled you last stream got his account closed. I guess we all shared the idea of reporting him for it lol

Whoa, I just typed the word “the” into search to see how to spell the Eiffel Tower and the first result I got was the Eiffel Tower. How many of y’all think that is weird? If you don’t know what I’m talking about watch the first two seconds of this video.
