My 10year old son loves your videos and has learnt a lot from you. He would like you to make a video on the 'Benko Gambit'.

There is already a video about it. Its the same title of this one. But he made it 2 years ago

This is incredible content. I have been wanting to play the Polish Defense since your Speed Run when you destroyed your opponents with it. Thank you so much for teaching me how to fish! 🐳

Yes! We have been waiting for polish!

This is great. I’ve been enjoying Lichess for the puzzles but have been intimidated and a bit overwhelmed by the Openings section. Thank you big big for making it more accessible.

I've been very excited for this one! Thank you for making it

That was an exciting video about this opening. Thanks for making such a great and fun video.😁😁

This is a fantastic video. Plenty of channels try selling you their own course. Nelson instead gives the knowledge to skip the course and learn anything on your own. What a great dude 😎.

Great video exactly what I needed. For something so complicated you really explained it well.

This is what I’ve been doing since i hung up the London last year. It’s such a fun way to learn new openings and create your own

i never even payed attention to the fact lichess had more data even tho ive seen it a bunch of times in videos. ty for pointing that out.

Very useful video. Thank you, Nelson!

I've been looking forward to a video like this. Helpful! Thanks

All of your videos are informative but this is next level! Wow man keep up the good work!

That was a great tutorial. Learnt a lot about how to study openings! Thanks!

Great video, thanks Nelson!!

Yet another great tutorial. Explaining in simple language but deep chess thanks Nelson. Got me through another break at work.

wow... just watched the first three minutes and i know am gonna love it already. keep it up nelson

I really like this kind of videos so much I wish that you can do more

Lemme go and study 🏃‍♂️ 🏃‍♀️ 🏃‍♂️ 🏃‍♀️ 📖 😌

Thanks Nelson, I knew about opening explorer, but not how to effectively use it

Love your videos ❤😊

Super useful information, time to learn some openings

Thanks Nelson ❤❤ from Canada.

This is exactly the sauce I’ve been looking for. Nelson, you’re a G

Scillian and polish can be used for black and white .And I think they are the best attacking openings for both black and white ❤

You can check the king and take the bishop from there when they take the knight it's not free. Before that the knight can just block the check and defend but when it takes the knight it's to far away for the knight to defend and block the check and solid trap to get the rook next .

Nice explanation! So how should one actually go about remembering these lines?

C4 is an explosive move.

Original et utile

I did something very similar but I used a tighter range of ratings closer to my own because I thought it would better approximate what I should expect to see by my opponents. @Chess Vibes- any thoughts on this as a viable strategy ?

Another interesting chess video that completely baffled the hell out of me! I couldn't follow how you were using Lichess. Never mind!

10:12 - I won recently as Black with a similar position, though the game did not start with the Polish Defence.

Nelson is a demystifier. You are the best!

Watched this video and not even 10 minutes later had an opponent play d4! Definitely had the upper hand!

"Funky stuff going on behind the scenes..." Sounds like a Super Mario Brothers concept... 😉

Lichess is great. What I really recommend for learning openings are the interactive lessons in the "studies" section. I learn openings, gambits or traps best when I create my own interactive lessons (easy to do) following the tutorials of my favorite KZread chess players.

How do you get to the right place in Lichess to practice openings?

What if your opponent doesn’t move like the engine moves? Doesn’t that mess everything up?? Thanks!

that means they are more likely to make a mistake!

Interesting video! Does learning all of the lines of the common openings to some depth involve almost as much memorization as is done in medical school?!

You're definitely not wrong for asking that question. I'd personally say that chess does is not exactly correlated to memory and intelligence, if you think about it, it's just some squares and pieces it could hardly improve your life in other ways 😂😃 I don't think there's anything wrong in learning an opening or a line that you like, but if it's for the sole purpose of memorizing it then it's not really human is it.. Play for fun don't try to remember something that's not worth remembering. Like Nelson said at the beginning, give man a fish and he will eat it and be hungry again, teach him how to catch fish he will be thankful to you for ther rest of his life. Hopefully the comment helped you a bit 😂😄

👍

Memorizing the line I want isn’t hard, it’s memorizing what to do in response to what others do…5 levels deep…how do you make that easier?

do NOT try to memorize everything, chess is just like any other thing, you play the way that feels the most comfortable for you! Take a position, choose a move that you like, see what the computer says about it, and you'll learn by repeating that process anytime you feel like playing :) Don't go through the day thinking about chess positions or trying to memorize it like ot's the most important thing ever, again, you do what you like. Hopefully my comment helped you a bit ! 😃 Good luck with your chess! 🙂

u should have chosen some common opening one😑😑 not the one very big majority dont play

The Polish Defense is a good opening to play if you are a Polak.
