This has been the most helpful series by far. My rating has improved nearly 500 points and my accuracy scores have consistently hit around 90%. You're a gifted teacher! Thanks!

Nelson has such a nice vibe, a calm and clear way of explaining his though process. Good learning as well as a pleasant one. Thank You!!

Love this series so much. Thanks man I no lie jumped from around 750 to 1050 roughly just since you started these videos. Subbed

Love these videos, so informative and well structured!

I hope you’re getting the numbers for these, because they are superb. Real chess explained well. And your attention to threats is 100% what I need more of in my game. So, thank you. And please keep doing them.

im like 1900 rating and this vid is still very helpful and enjoyable

I am not the best but watching your videos I have gone from 500 elo to 700 in a week so happy. Thanks for the content😊

As someone who ranges anywhere from 700-900 depending on the week, this series is teaching me a lot.

I’m a big fan of your videos! I totally appreciate that you telling us your thought processes; pros and cons of different moves and tactics. Very calm and gracious. Thanks!

Seems that after 1000, everyone has an opening which he/she knows well

I agree I once was rated above 1000 and one player played the grenade variant in the Larsen attack, and I got squashed! 🤷‍♂️

1000s don't know openings well they just don't instantly get a completely losing position, which is not even in the same realm as knowing an opening well💀

This is the best series u have done so far. I love it. I'm anticipating when u get to 1200-1500 so that I can learn more. Keep up the good work.

You are a top level teacher Nelson. Your videos are very informative, best I’ve found by a long way. You describe every move brilliantly and really put your thoughts out there for all of us to benefit from. This is an exceptional series. Do you do any tutoring at all? These lessons are great and I am learning a lot but I would like a framework to work to. The speed at which you calculate is very impressive and your knowledge of tactics is also exceptional, i would love to learn the principles of how to reach this level as currently I’m a long way from it to say the least.

Thanks for the great videos!!!

10:47 Nelson didn't consider ...d3 and ... e4, and the h8-a1 diagonal is Black's.

The video basically came out 8 months ago, which might be a little late, but the idea is still alive, I find these vids are so good and underrated as well!

Hey Nelson, its my bday tomorrow and i got the next 2 days off. I would love an hour long video either of the next 2 days! Thanks for vids and tips

10:36 have you considered playing b5 first, kicking the knight that was defending the bishop? Then if you play Qe4, you can counter f3 by just taking the bishop with the queen. And the only knight move that seems to defend against the tactic is Nd2, but then that blocks the rook and you can just take the bishop, I believe.

Hmm. Yeah it looks like he missed that. 10 minute chess games are WAY too fast for me. He thinks 10x faster than I do and still gets pressured into making quick decisions.

i love nelson and his energy

You saying that the first game the player played really weird that’s literally just the 1000 level that’s where I’m at and I learn all these openings and the main lines and stuff but my opponents never ever play the main lines they play all these weird sidelines which aren’t always losing but they are particularly good either

After months of watching this rating climb I finally leveled up in elo 400 -570

Am I wrong, that at 9:47 the opponent could have generated a three-way fork with his knight, and that he didn’t take advantage of it for some reason? 🤔

play the Caro-Kann

Anytime they don’t capture on d5 and instead push e5 becomes uncomfortable

10:58 I was thinking of pawn to D3 instead of rook to e8

Can you do some cora kon openings at 1000 rating. I know I spelled it wrong

#29:17 I'd make a knight with check and take the bishop and slowly make him resign :D

The main difference between watching you and GothamChess is that when I watch you I feel smart

Can you play the vienna

I liked how different the second game was. Shame they hung the rook, was a tough game.

Is there still a winstreak or was there a loss somewhere along these series already?

@philipgligorov5848

I watched since the beginning. There were some close calls but no loses yet.

What do you think about this a chess rules. All peaces that are linked to the king are safe from captures. That is, in the beginning, you can't captures any enemy peaces unless that peaces moves out of the king's connection.

This is funny way play to chess. If you play black these pawn moves g6, f5, e4, d3 now you can play Qc3, but white is not can capture black Queen -> Queen and pawns is linked to black King

Use the Caro kann

Mantap 👍

Hey Nelson can I send you a chess opening for you to explain, I’m wondering how do you defend against the grenade variant in the Larsen attack.

At some point you're going to get flagged, Chess Vibes

First

love your videos but watching you play these lower rated players doesnt really help because they make really bad moves. It would help to see games with good opponenents.
