@Nelson - You are just an amazing teacher. My 7 year old is a huge fan of you and he keeps watching your video and learns a lot. Your approach to a problem, you give a few seconds for the viewers to think and your crisp explanation after is simply incredible. You play a very important role in my son's interest and learnings in chess. Hello and luv from my son!!!

Nelson, I love how clear and complete your explanations are. You truly are a great teacher. I just picked up your strategic thinking 1000-1500 course last weekend and am working through it, learning so much. Thank you for all the great and clear instruction you provide.

Appreciate that!

Thanks for being my new favorite chess channel. All the other channels are entertaining, but I feel like I’ve learned something every time I watch yours.

Your videos are the most helpful, informative, and easy to follow that I've come across. Thank you. Just when I thought I had smothered mate down you reminded me of the concept again. Looking forward to sacrificing my queen. Also very helpful how you drove home that double checks are more powerful than say attacking the queen and potentially losing your own queen. Very helpful. Thanks 👍

Love this video format with a theme. I felt so accomplished watching and learning. This one earns the sub!

What a wonderful video, a fantastic build up from simple patterns to complex situations.

One of the best learning videos. Thanks

Love your videos mate. Really nice flow and great advice. You’re a really great teacher and sound like a really down to earth stand up guy. Respect.

Super fun!! My son and I are having a blast working these out together. Love your way of exploring all the variations.

I think a semi-simple way to think about Discovered Checks is essentially doing a Fork with two pieces.

Great schematics of teaching, mild voice, absolute nailing it on the purpose of these videos. Good job, man!

Mind blowing explanations amd clarity. Respect to you from the land of origin of chess. ❤❤❤

Thanks for the lesson coach nelson..

Very Informative, Fantastic Video

That last one is so awesome. I love your videos mate. And yes failed to get that one

I am a Intermediate at chess and you helped me, Thank You soooo much for helping me 😊😊😊

15:21. Same one as before, like it mate, awesome. Knight to e2, then knight to g3, forcing pawn to take it, then opening up file for Queen to checkmate king

Great video! Hadn't even seen some of these patterns.

Wonderful! I learned the smothered mate using my Saitek "Kasparov Turbo King" board computer. It boasted a rating of 2250, although it was probably more like 1450. This was around 1990 when they did everything they could to make you believe that you bought a really strong computer, even though you didn't really. But in a game I got this position where I was trailing materially, but found a draw through repetition. I checked the evaluation and was surprised to see the number 99! So apparently I was winning without even knowing it. I just took my time to look at the position, and I found the smothered mate which I've never forgotten!

This channel has come on leaps and bounds. Nice one. Congratulations on a superb channel

That weird checkmate pattern with the queen and bishop is Greco's mate! The best pattern.

Thanks for the video!

Such good teaching.

Thank you for your videos

A Big THANK YOU!

Thanks so much for your videos. I’m about 1200 and you’ve been my primary teacher! Question: for the hardest position in this video, what rank of player would you expect to find the right play every time?

11:45 "side file mate" nice

great video, thank you

13:45 (these puzzles mate so cool) Bishop to e2 (first) then f3.

Super thanks for sharing. Had I knew all these easily when I was young, could easily challenge Bobby Fisher, kasparo or magus larsen. Opportunities and priorities when young were different, though learn new things in life pretty easy. Chess is really fascinating because of its endless complexity !. A gentleman's war game 🎮 played according to a gentleman's rules.

I seen the Knight to G3 bit, checking the king, then the pawn taking the Knight. Then just give up on it. Failed to notice it opened up the file like that, checking the king like that with the Queen, awesome that is.

Thank, thank you for this video! Obviously, I've watched a lot of chess tutorials (and read a myriad of books on chess tactics, etc) over the years...and this was the most informative. Nelson, it has changed my game! These moves? And, concepts (from this video) is why I started to play chess in the first place. Some books and tutorials, kind of mention these tactics as an afterthought...but to me...when you play like this? It makes the game: Art

I’m 1500 and I love how you explain concepts. A lot of the explanations seem like you’re targeting for the 800-1200 range, but you explain things so clearly that it helps reinforce understanding even for intermediate players

best teacher on youtube

I liked the videos format, you should make similar ones

This is fun!

11:37 I used to call that "a vertical backrank" once translated from french, but it's real name is the Greco's mate.

Do more videos like this Guide us to masters

14:44 I had thought about Ba6 as well. I'm thinking like a master, but not finding the best move. 8-) This does win a bishop, though. 20:14 "Mix up the order of the moves" ... That's a useful chess technique/problem solving technique, too. (Maybe there's a video about it in the future? Hint, hint?)

Hey man, love your videos! I wanted to ask about puzzle at 16:46, what if white plays queen to e6? If black moves their king, they just lose the rook, and if they bring the other rook over to attack the queen, then rook takes g7 check? Black cant take with the king because its protected by pawn, and cant take with the rook because its pinned, and then its just checkmate in 1 or 2 moves based on where they move their king?

this is why CHESS IS AMAZING !

I solved the last one myself. that's very satisfactory

11.37 This mating pattern 's name is the h file mate

20:15 LETS GO CORRECT

In My Opinion, double check + discovered is the BEST check, but Its Not The Coolest check, it is the en passant + double check + discovered check but it is not as powerful as double check + discovered check

06:24 Very nice collection. In this position the Knight on c4 is useless. Same checkmate will occur.

I learned. Love from India

1:36 might be wrong cause I’m a 900 player but can’t u slide ur rook over to block with a deflection and after white rook takes you have Kd7 for a fork on the rook and bishop?

Easy peasy I have seen most of them in some puzzles and games

good

Best type of the discovered checks is the double check… Best type of the double checks is the double check by two queens…😊😊

I am assuming the answer for the first puzzle would be 1.Ra1+,Rxa1 2.Qg4+,Kb1, 3.Nd2+,Kc1, 4.Nb3+,Kb1 5.Qc1+,Ka2 6.Ra8+ and you capture the pieces that come in the way and it’s mate. If 4.Ka2, (from white) we can play Ra8 which is quite similar to an anastasias mate (hopefully I got the name right). And obviously if 2.Kd1, we have 3.Qd2# (Hope my answer is right, I didn’t watch the video.)

13:13 Knight to H6

Triple check

@techoutsider5631

Such a thing actually exists in other variants of chess, like xiangqi.

rc6 stops the discovered attack and its a draw if they do it

9:55, Knight to f3 or e2, can’t decide which is best

3:05 Bishop to e6

At 16:45 I saw qe6. It looks like there should be some move that saves black but I dont see anything. Does anyone know why my move is wrong?

Жыл бұрын

Yes

@Adventurer-te8fl

Жыл бұрын

Close, but I think the king doesn’t have to recapture knight on h2 and can have some counter play maybe with Nxf7+

1:53 Rewatching this I noticed that this isn’t even a good discovered check attack unless you want to draw. Black can block the check with his Rook. Sure you can take the Rook with check but the King can go to B7 or D7 threatening the Rook. So if you take the Queen the King takes your Rook and it’s a draw. The Bishop isn’t enough to win.

11:46 what if we called that a rookway checkmate?

Is it best to simply try to move your pieces away from potential attacks by discovered checks/double checks just to prevent that even if there is no immediate danger? Feels like a type of problem best to avoid and not risk forgetting it…

@lysy-zn2gg

Жыл бұрын

Yeah it is pretty good to move pieces from getting checked (not only king but for example when enemy rook is aligning on the same line with queen even if it covered by several pieces) to avoid some wild tactics in future. You can see it even in top player matches. Of course if you don't play short time game you can always calculate deeply if your move isn't just waste of time. And for double checks as Nelson said there is probably always some tactic so you will want to avoid it in 99% of cases

1:34 Be6 would be good too because you couldnt block with anything.

(Last Puzzle) I Was Stuck On Qg5 Until You Told Us It Wasn’t And I Found The Mate

12:09 Rook to b5

Lets go

It's great knowing that a double check means the king must move. So then you just look at the squares around the king.

And then he sacrifices THE ROOOOOOOOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

15:00 I think it would have been worth noting happens if after Be2 instead of Kh1 white plays Bg6 (stop reading for a moment if you want to figure that out yourself) It's fairly simple, you just get back to roughly the same position Rg6 check, Kh1 is forced, Bf3 mate.

Thank mate for explaining that. Seen both of them, didn’t know which was best. F6 is best

Speaking of the spread-sheet...there is a school of thought that insists one learn the endgame FIRST. What are your thoughts on that?

The one at around 17 minutes, I calculated queen sac, rook takes, rook takes, Kf8, Ng6+, ke8 and then I was like well there is no mate there. Edit there is one, but I didn't find it. From the starting position there is a M21

I solved all puzzles right but I don't have so cool and brutal positions in my games. And it is sad...

The best type of check is the check mate, mate.

Fun FACT XD: I did this to my friend while I didn’t know about this cool trick

im not sure if someone said this, but i thought back file checkmate

15:10 Ngl the only reason I got the puzzle correct was because I thought free bishop

Жыл бұрын

Can you elaborate on the question a bit, I don't really understand what you're asking. White certainly doesn't always win, but does have the initial advantage due to having the first move, gaining what would be known as initiative or tempo, basically meaning they are able to attack and apply pressure before their opponent (Providing you're playing good moves, of course).
