I appreciate that!

I know this may not sound very impressive to most of you. But I am a total beginner in chess and I’m on my way on reaching 400 ELO thanks to these videos. I’m so grateful for that! I had never played chess before in my life until three months ago. I haven’t memorized any openings. I’m just improving because I’m slowly but steadily absorbing the tactics you explain so well in these videos. My deepest gratitude to you Nelson 😁👏🏻

Found your channel a couple weeks ago and have been really enjoying the climb. Just hit 1000 rating today and I feel watching your stuff has helped me slow down my play and think a bit more critically about some positions.

You are just killing it with every video in this series. Great composure and valuable insights :)

You are very good in explaining mate. i discoverd you 1 week ago and now im watching atleast 1 video a day. Keep it up

He remembered his catch phrase at the end of this one! Great video, at first I didn't like the unedited video because of too much dead air, but this one had hardly any of that. Very engaging, thank you. Stay sharp, play smart, and take care!

Funny, my 1300-1400 (over-the-board) opponents never made the kind of blunders we saw in the last game. They did make blunders, but they were either in the category of missed opportunities, or they required more cunning play on my part.

Most of my opponents are in such a hurry to make a move. They snap take, even in the openings, when I know that I am making book moves.

Amazing video! Thank you so much! 💙

It is interesting to know more about the Ponziani ( because I play it ) than the IM who has taught me so much. Nelson did play the position well though which testifies to his experience.

Love the channel

Love your channel

Great serie, also brings Nelson back to the basics.... Every now and than his eyes are glazing over with the question, Why? 😊

My problem is I just don't see all the moves. Even in a 3 day per move format I make mistakes then only see why it was a mistake after I move. And quite often I focus on what's happening immediately in front of me not realising there's something else on the other side of the board. Plus I'm the blunder King, let's not forget that😂

Lol Well done lads. A bit slow but good effort 😂

Could you play some benoni variation in a comming game and if c4, d5, the benko gambit might be cool see

Just asking, if you will be able to, can you try the Evan's Gambit in a video if you will have the occasion to?

what's interesting to me (and i see this in my games too) is the mistake comes early in the game. 2:30 minutes in and the game is gone. in all this speedrun i have yet to see a player blunder for the first time with less than 4 minutes on the clock. it's like once the opponent makes a move, it's a rush to move as well, without analyzing what would happen after my opponent makes a move. and usually it's not a complicated 3-4 move variation, it's taking the time to answer basic game questions: what is my opponent attacking, what is the space left behind, do i have overloaded pieces or undefended pieces, is there knife fork in the air, are there any discovered checks?

Stockfish seems to really like it when you put the king in check.

imagine an opponent of nelson making same kind of a video and we get to see what they think too 😂

Could we see some Tennison Gambit action? I normally play Kings Indian Attack but I've been doing that move order lately - lots of traps, and if they don't fall for them I just play it like the KIA lol

we need same content more nelson❤

Hey. Very interesting channel. Could you please play Albin counter-gambit sometimes!! Thanks.

Long time follower, first time commenter. First of all, thank you for making this content. I love it! And I'm so proud of you! You know your channel is going to 4 million subscribers, right?

Nice queen sac, mate! 🇦🇺

Why is it when I play blitz they do not make such obvious mistakes? I feel like it's so obvious when I'm watching your stream. I guess the commentary and walking thru your thought process helps a lot.

It's a good thing that you're past my rating level. I would have lasted like, 5 moves! 😂

I just got to 1400 today i hope i can play with you nelson

47:27 Ke5 the best move I think

I don't understand why he resign at 57:58, can't see how it is lost, despite being totally "green", I can normally follow and understand (thanks to Your great way of keeping it simple), but not this time, did he just need to go do something else, or was the position lost....???

same here, no idea why that pawn to f3 was a blunder surely the knights forks the queen and bishop, queen move out of the way and its an about equal trade?

Best to know one opening against e4, one against d4, e5, d5 - then maybe look up a bit about caro-kann (how to play against it) and basic ideas of sicilian. I play Vienna, Caro, London and Benoni - and I don't plan on learning anything new, just improve those openings.

Why cant white queen go to c2 and protect the bishop? game 1

I am little bit confused, did you not wanted to write 2300 ratting instead of 1300? It is difficult to believe you would be so low rated 😊

We need to start a poll and which ever subscriber(s) wins they get to give Nelson a nice neck rub. Or whatever. Have one competition that's based on like a small point (5 or 10) range. IOW someone states he'll have an off game somewhere in the low 1800 hundreds and therefore offer that it will occur between 1812-1816 (a 5 point range). Then do one concurrently that makes use of a precise guess. No range. From there, lots of prop bets could be going on as well. What country will deliver him his first loss? How many losses might he have to endure. Etc., etc., etc.
