What the rating climb did for me is give me a way better understanding of the depth that goes into games at the level you play at. From seeing the evolution through the levels below, I can better appreciate what is going on at this point in the run and it makes it fascinating.

Someone should send the first game to Gotham for a GuessTheElo game.

yup

I dont think bullet or blitz speedruns will be educational , thats the point from these videos right? I think you should continue with these rapid videos because they are so helpful

It would have a different vibe. Nelson would have to do a detailed commentary afterwards with the analysis.

@@prepaidtrash5552 For me personally it would still be entertaining content. But yeah of course you wont really learn anything

1:34:20 the amount of times I've been surprised by a pawn moving forward messing up my plans... it's like a blind spot you don't think of them being effective until end game.

What a crazy first game!

That Makkelijkscoren guy was playing some bizarre moves lmao

that first game was incredibly entertaining! so wild!

At 22:08 for a backrank checkmate once your queen was on d7, could you have advanced you pawn to f4 to threaten the bishop? If he moves his bishop, it's either checkmate or you can take his queen with your knight depending on where he moves it. I do see he could check you but it seems like you could get away and ultimately grab his d4 pawn with yours? Would this work out favorably?

Great playing nelson

That was an awesome first game!

The king has to go in front of the pawn! Very instructive! Thank you Nelson!

Wow! I got bored with the puzzle...until you showed the knight promotion defense! Gold!

That puzzle 1:04:00 ending/explanation seemed a bit unsatisfactory because black would not push the pawn when it can clearly be captured/forked within the next couple of moves. Instead it might try and chase the knight which is more likely to end in draw by repetition. This can happen in quite a number of ways so this is not an easy puzzle to nail down the solution for.

I found the Bh2 queen steal at the end and was yelling at the screen! Great games.

Next stream is likely to be the finale! I am voting for a bullet speed run to 2200, it would be great to watch No commentary during games but boy we would get nonstop action (You can always review afterwards)

"What is happening??.." gets me everytime. 😂

The first game 😂lion jaw or whatever although its wasn't a king indian setup for your opponent but its was crazy with your rook hanging for so long

I love how chess is so hard and takes so much thinking and at the end of the day all we can hope for is to be slightly better than a phone You'll never be as good as an iphone

Informative content😊

The third guy certainly thought outside the box.

Hello Nelson, Watch you all the time.

waaaw the first game had me going crazy... am like nelson move the rook move the rook but naaah. lol

8:16 they could moved bishop to F6 and defended the rook. Then castle

Congrats on beating stockfish!

What is stockfish estimated elo for first game? 😂 was it 700 vs 500?

1:49 good job game reporting game. The opponent couldn't finish the game in the last minute with extra pawns. Add slowed down their play. 3000 puzzle rate???

Vladislav Prskalo the "weird" game was probebly because he is old..

second last game was fine actually natural moves

Im pretty sure i can descend as fast as you ascend. Yes i used spell check.

Thanks again Nelson! (Also interacting to curry favor to hopefully get a game against you at some point!!)

13:58 I am giving my queen opinions to do stuff to the king! Filthy 😂

20:55 i love when u said this game is complicated😂, but anyways, u are awesome man! surely chess is something too complicated, even amazing players like u think so

🔥🔥

First game was the best of the series. Wow!!!!

Dear Nelson you are a defensive minded player , even on attacks it feels you are always looking things in a perpendicular way. you never think in terms of the diagonal as shown by you not pinning the knight on the king

I saw queen g6 on my own and im 500

34:35 Wait a mom NELSON IS A NINJA

Wait till you fall and scrape your body then your going to wish you put clothes on 😂

👍 😊
