"I feel like I'm missing a super obvious thing." He says when talking about a potential queen trap that I as a 1600 would miss 100% of the time.

What I like about this series is that it shows us even players with low ratings as Martin, they're not donkey players who will blunder everything.

in 100-400 they actually are donkeys, don't underestimate how hard chess is for a new player. even when i try to lose and hang mate multiple turns in a row i end up winning because they miss it and hang their queen instead.

i think there's actually a possible knight sacrifice by taking on b5 at 2:08. If pawn takes knight, bishop d5 completely traps the rook I learned that one by analyzing a similar position with stockfish a while ago.

@@davedjl3387there has never been a more coddled group of people than non-Whites, collectively, in the history of the world. You dare not even *mention* their mere existence, lest some entitled, privileged cry baby start their whining. Yes, I understand you’re joking but “in jest there is truth.” That your joke even, nominally, makes sense illustrates my point; how is “Arabian mate” at all disparaging?

5:40 This is called an Arabian mate, with the rook delivering checkmate while the knight guards the rook and prevents the king from sidestepping. That last game was close. Now opening bets on how far we'll get before the first L. I'm going to guess ~1450 due to trying to show off a queen sacrifice that doesn't work.

That last game was fascinating. And close too. 600 rated players can play so solidly at times. With the blunder in game 3, I think chess.com lumps both sides together for the summary. I could be wrong.

Such an excellent series. I am learning so much by watching your thought process for the game. I still struggle to calculate lines and multiple captures and then seeing the position after the dust clears, but this is just helping so much in just the basics. I see tactics and neat moves on one hand, but on the other I blindly blunder things on the regular. This is teaching me to slow it down a bit and just stick with the basics. Good things happen when you do that.

It’s funny how the mid game feels so complicated because there are so many pieces to watch, but it’s always the king/pawn endgames that get my heart racing and my hands shaking.

Me reviewing my match with Magnus: Pawn E4 “Blunder - This allows the game to begin and defeat becomes inevitable”

Hey Nelson, you should try the Alapin Sicilian in one of your games, I hear there's all sorts of tricks and traps in that variation.

Nelson - really enjoying your series. Thanks for the efforts

Nice one! Congrats on the run

This is definitely the best tactics for me as a beginner. Even though I have 1000 Rapid Rating, I still consider that I'm still beginner.

Hi Nelson, This series has been really helpful. I started winning many more games. I'm currently in the 600s.

The game ending right at 30:00 was a great game! Every single piece to capture that queen! It was like checkmating the queen making everything seem so. Weird. 😂😂😂

Intresting last game, very instructive indeed! I'm still amazed about how tricky chess can be.

Just wanted to say that this is the third time I'm going through this playlist! thanks again!

could you share the estimated ratings when you next look at a game review?

You should try the Englund Gambit and show how you can get fooled by it in lower elo. Also if they decline, hopefully you can play the Englund Gambit Declined: Reversed Alekhine, Reversed Krebs, Reversed Mhembe Variation.

What if the queen sidesteps to e3? Edit: Just saw the following fork with the knight...

Wow.. i love ur imagination... I learn more from ur game... Thank u.. ❤❤❤

Wow imagine white would have channeled their inner GM and saw everything after Qh5, that would have been a heartbreaking loss. Great games nonetheless and very instructive stuff, especially in the last game. Like the vid guys.

Since I have started watching your videos my gameplay has sky rocketed like never before thank you sir .

that "weird" gambit is actually a very common and popular gambit where i learned chess back at home. We use to call it the sheperd and is the easiest gambit to check mate begginers. for some reason they never see/defend queen to h4 and bishop tp c5.

Nelson is such a great teacher

this video was full of insanity, great games

at 13:24 white actually had the move bishop to H5 because its protected by the queen advancing their bishop and stopping your attack

*new idea for a chess challenge vs martin* it's called the _"you can't just waltz in here!"-challenge_ like a waltz rhythm you move 1-2-3, 1-2-3 repeating squares for every piece, including pawns (castling counts as 1, a knight obviously as a 3) that should make for a very interesting game :)

5:38 You are better to sacrifice the Queen than giving mate in one.

Can’t thank you enough for releasing this series, it has helped massively. I’m close to crossing the 700 mark, and I’m currently on an 8 game win streak. And my average accuracy has improved also. Love your videos 🔥🔥

It’s brilliant, I was getting easily confused if I hadn’t seen or learnt an opening properly. Literally sticking to the fundamentals and not rushing has really paid off. Currently 742, and ended with a 10 game winning streak ❤️😎

Even at 7:25, sacrificing the two pieces for a piece and two pawns isn't a bad practical idea; even though it's objectively losing, the win rate decreases only slightly (according to lichess database)

Can u play the vienna gambit or the caro kann?

39:00 isnt bishop b5 better since after white pawn c4 then bishop takes then queen c3 u can get a rook discover on the queen and its trapped? edit: after consulting stockfish, you can play bishop a6 then if they dont sacrifice queen and instead move back to d3 there is an epic rook take c1 mate

5:40 This is the Arabian Checkmate

could you try the scotch gambit?

5:42 queen f7 was mate right away lol

I didn't see that blunder of the Queen. I did see the possible checkmate on e5 and was thinking it was probably a good idea to keep the white Queen away from d8 if possible. I kind of wish you didn't do queen trades in a queen and pawn ending so we could see more of them, unless of course the queen trade leads to forced checkmate, a win of material, or something like dragging the opponent's king to the side while also creating a protected passed pawn.

For the love of Lucy, the first humanoid, your mic is doing some weird sharp noises or smth and they really hurt with the phones on. Pleaasssse check it xD

at 22:17 could have gone nf3+. discovered attack on queen and win it

Dude is making it look easy idk why my oponent never play these moves like in the videos...

Arabian mate

YAY As always first

I knew immediately you should have taken with the pawn instead of the queen, and after Qh4 I knew intuitively that Kd6 was bad because of Qd8 (even though I didn't look at the follow-up). And I also knew that Kh6 was not the best and that Kf6 should have been played. Your endgame intuition needs improvement.

big takeaway. don't use a mouse. HEHE. jk

First time i’ve ever seen you miss moves - it really was way too late at night! 🥱
