It’s pretty cool for you to play weaker players and let us see their thinking process. I’m really enjoying this series.

Martin has improved a lot since he upgraded from AI into human.

nah you've gotta be waaay more clickbaity to be like Gotham. "HE BROKE CHESS!!!!" - then show a game that did not break the game of chess, or even a chess board or chess piece. or "5000 ELO CHESS!!!" - show a game that the game review gives a 3100 rating.

Martin challenge idea: The brave pawns (and frightened pieces) Your pieces are afraid of Martin, they won't move to a rank if there's no pawn on a higher rank than they're trying to move to. So having a pawn on the fourth rank means your pieces can only move up to the third rank and lower. If one of your pawns gets captured and leaves one (or more) of your pieces on the same rank or higher than your furthest pawn then this piece (or those pieces) freeze up and can't move unless it's a retreating move that puts them directly onto a rank that's lower than your furthest piece. So for example your knight is on the third rank and you have a pawn on the second rank and on the fourth rank. The pawn on the fourth gets captures so your knight freezes and can only move to the first rank. Additionally you could push the pawn two squares to unfreeze the knight, but pushing it only one square won't unfreeze the knight. Promoted pawns are still brave. Your king is brave too and can act like a pawn to unfreeze your pieces. I recommend playing this against a little stronger bots too as Martin might be a little bit too easy.

@19:37 so that's why Nelson was like walking in his face cam while playing chess?

Great series. Thanks

Wow, a fellow person from Lithuania. Given it's a rarity, I'm glad to see once in a while

Many many moves into the game and white has only moved 2 pawns, because it wasn't necessary to move more than 2. Very informative, thanks!

Only because black chose the Caro kann, one of the worst defenses. It immediately allows white to take full central control on move 2.

What a perfect thumbnail and title

You play like a snake... Tightening the grip until there's no escape. Very good and instructive game. Thanks, Nelson❤

I prefer just 'snake'.

I think after he castelled you had RxN then take the B!! But after you moved your knight to g5 he had Rf5 and one of two!!

Randomness not outputting what you expect is kind of... expected. Rarities are more common than we intuitively think. Getting white the vast majority of times in a relatively small sample of games is not indicative of not being random.

Chess challenge, if one of your pieces tries to capture a Martin piece that is touching a another Martin piece (the touching distance limit it's like a King move) your piece that tried to capture disappear and the Martin piece don't disappear. If the Martin piece is not touching another Martin piece, will be captured like normal and your piece will not disappear. (Note: the Martin King doesn't need a piece touching him to make your piece that is touch the Martin King disappear, so to checkmate the Martin King need to be a distance of 2 saquares or more). Edited part: is to play against Martin bot

At 34:15 one nice line is Rf5 (trying to fork the white Queen and Knight), R:g7 R:e5, R:g6 h:g6, Nf7+ (forking the black King and Rook)

GG Nelson, this vid is reaaaaaly booooooring due to your sleeeeepy opponent

There is a wrestling term called a Half-Nelson. That's what these back and forth streams are. I prefer the Full-Nelson for the win.

Because gotham chess

Nelson, you are definitely playing worse on the treadmill. In the beginning (standard position that can also come from French defense Steinitz variation, c5 by black is an error) you could win a pawn : 1. ed ed 2. cd Bxc5 3. Nxd5 (at 4:12 in the video) then 33:10 - you could play Nf7, he cannot take with the rook because of backrank mate, than Qd5 threatens to win the queen by discovered check and also smothered mate so queen cannot leave (should defend f7). Still waiting for more higher rated games in this series (as I am 2150 rapid and classical player).

@tobias4411

First, winning that pawn is not the best. Nxd5 is playable, but an innacuracy (+0.90 ev). It's even better to play 5.ed ed 6.Bb5+ Nc6 7.Ne5 Bd7 8.0-0 wich gives white slightly better +1.70 ev. Secondly, there is no backrank mate in that position you point to. Nf7?? is a blunder, since rook just takes Knight for free. If white plays Re8, then Rf8 (back again) blocks the check.

@alexanderborisov8626

@@tobias4411 this only proves that engine is stronger than human. Because in french defense there is still no knight on f3 and this engine line with Bb5+ and 0-0 does not exist. Nf7 and rook back I just missed, which happens ;) at least you can start with Qd5 - weak opponent will not find h6 defense for sure.

@tobias4411

2 ай бұрын

The line with 6.Bb5+ do exist, what are you talking about? it can be seen in Lichess database. It's 2nd most played move. And the 0-0 in move 8 does also exist, its only played 5% though so not that common.

Nelson, I'll level with you, these were interesting like the few first times, but they are not my thing really. If the games were a bit faster paced or something, but this long is a bit too much for me on that format.

He ironically played better than all the other opponents you played against in this series

can you just make your opponent automatically be white from now on? it would compensate for their lower elos

Pin plz?

Bb5 You Knight is now pinned to the King.

I find it pretty weird that people who play the opening regularly enough to know its name don't know 3rd move in the main line. 1300 rating is no excuse for that.

everyone knows that you're not supposed to actually learn openings in depth til like 1800ish. Til then just develop your pieces normally and fight for the center. No need to be so upset, maybe draw a little circle on your pfp and show us where Martin touched you.

literally first watch
