Man I am in love with this video. I’ve been playing chess since I was 10, I’m 25 now. I’m fallling back in love with the game again. I’ve came to a stalemate and an awkward stage at this point because I never developed my game after the opening. And it was super frustrating because I wanted to get better and better develop my game. I finally stopped being stubborn and ended up going to KZread and man am I in awe. Much love from Chicago my man

One thing I'd like to add about pawn storms is that there often isn't enough time to storm with multiple pawns, often it's better to just storm the h or the g pawn alone and sacing it for open files / diagonals

Man I hope you get more popular. Your videos have helped me a lot.

Nelson Lopez is hands down the best online instructor I've seen. Clear explanations, interesting and just plain helpful. Thanks Nelson!

Just discovered your videos and appreciate the attention to detail and thought you put into each. For example, you adjust the videos to incorporate various opening lines to accommodate different playing styles or analyze hundreds of intermediate-level games then provide thereby providing an analysis that's substantiated and credible.

Always scan the board for vulnerabilities, watch out for pins, look for forks and pins yourself, and try to push pawns to promote, pushing pawns always puts pressure on your opponent and forces them to focus on blocking the pawn.

This is like the most instructive channel for intermediate chess players.. it has all I have been missing all along.. thank you Nelson

One of the most helpful exercises that I've seen in 20 years. I am probably rated around 2,000 but found this tremendous to bring those thoughts into the front of my mind as I play

Found this really useful. The tips "break open the centre" and "eliminate dangers" are incredibly useful. The trade off thing is also good. For filling the "what the hell do I do now?....its a good thing for us average players to focus on. The "battery" thing is what Napoleon would have called "concentrated force at the decisive point. On a 12 game winning streak online. Partly with the help of this channel. Was a TERRIBLE player for a long time.

This was an excellent video! I would love to see more about these early middle game (right after the opening) plans and how to execute them. (Like show more examples of these plans in action, in scenarios when they work, and show when they don't work/are not applicable). Thank you very much, NM Nelson!

It seems like we're ignoring plans of black in these strategies.

Really, the best channel for learning chess. streight to the point. Clear. Perfect

A great teacher right here! So easy to understand, short, and to the point.

I'm finally getting back into chess again, this really helped dust off some of the mental cobwebs.

Honestly NM Lopez is a fantastic instructor. His videos need to be considered standards for chess education. Clear, concise, and easily digestible education to even the worst patzers like myself. Thank you for the rating points Nelson!

Really an amazing video! There are more videos on how to make a plan but no single one except this one clearly structures a number of plans to consider. You did an amazing job structuring that!

it's Just amazing 😊 And thumbnail is also pretty beautiful , thanks...this gonna help ALOT

Thank you so much for the lecture master Nelson. I particularly apply all these things almost in every game i play but still have difficulties on defending.

Absolutely the best concise videos. Straight to the point with no ra mbl

Number 10 was an eye opener. I love it.

I really like how you demonstrated these plans using common beginner openings like the London. Great video!

I found this really helpful, as i often make blunders and don't know what to do in the middle-game, giving me a disadvantage in the end-game.

Love the way you explain these things

Genuinely my favourite channel to come to watch great exposition. Love it mate, keep it up!

Getting more serious about chess and I've been looking for a video like this for weeks. Thank you!

You ry have a way of getting to the core of what lower rated playsrs need to know . This was incredibly helpful. I have watched umteen number of chess channels aimed at sub 1600 elo players and have rary come across a channel like yours that explains thigs in a simple straight forward way and offers the info we actually want and need to know. I think a lot of channels dont realise some info needs bt explained and made aware without making the assumption that the info is a given and that we already know such things. Keep it up you should have a great following in no time. Also you should get patreon or something. I am sure a lot of people appreciate what you are doing and would slip you a few bucks here n there for your efforts.

This is one of the best chess videos I have ever seen. Fantastic ideas. Soooooo helpful. You are such a good teacher.

This is pure gold for a beginner like me. Thank you!

I have a bad habit of just playing what feels right without coming up with a plan first - or worse, making up a plan for the purpose of justifying the move I want to do. That's backwards; make the plan, then decide on the move. Something that's helped me with my chess is to play correspondence games (or whatever they're called when there's no turn time limit, or the time limit is days instead of minutes) and make a word document keeping track of the moves. After every move my opponent makes, I write down why I think they made that move, what I notice about the position, and why I'm choosing the move I'm choosing. It takes time, but it forces me to stop just playing arbitrary "this feels right" kinds of moves. Great video as always! (And thanks for reading my long-winded tangents.)

@@ChessVibesOfficial dosent chess come down to caus and effect? And since eatch piece has a limited range of moves, there is no need knowing every possible combination of moves that will never be played during a set, since other pieces ol the bord is taking up space, and futher a piece realy has 3 options of play :attack, hold or defend. One could argu that beeing taken is a fourth. Is it not then better to play the what if game and play fast games to cycle trough more scenarios? After all if you play the same opening options are reduced as game goes on.

Very good. Instructive and step by step. I have been watching many videos of other well known chess KZreadrs, but your videos give the foundation that they lack in their videos. Thank you

Excellent explanation about these plans. What I particularly liked about it is that you didn't bog the viewer down with too many details. I'm sure your intent was for this to be a quick, cursory overview of potential plans and that's exactly what you did. You kept with the script. Oftentimes, the master gets too specific when he is really just trying to make a general point. Keep up the good work!

This guy is great! He tells you the principle or the concept, gives an example and moves on. I've filled an entire page with notes derived from his videos. Maybe other learners are different, but I don't get that much out of Rosen's or Levi's commentary of the games they present. Hanging Pawns is good too but sometimes too lengthy for me.

a great book on this is 'how to reassess your chess' which teaches you to identify the in the position and make them work for you. you have a bishop and they have a knight? exchange pawns to open up the position. they have attacking chances but you have better pawn structure? try to exchange off pieces, play defensively, and make it to the endgame. etc
