Yes, Nelson is the best! I've been watching some GMs and although they are good, they don't have the patience to clarify as Nelson does.

This is such a great series. Glad to see play lower rated players like myself with time to explain everything. Thanks

Im pretty much convinced that how Cc goes bout rating new accounts is a major issue. The simple solution to me is having a period of time where you’re unrated, and then after so many games you get an official rating, Rather than choosing to start at 400 or 800, that causes way too much diversity of skill levels from 100-1000.

@@wytzekuiper1777 you’re completely missing the point, and just considering how it effects better players. It should still let you select skill level when making account, and that would choose who youd match up with for first match. After that match the engine ranks you, and you then match with someone with similar rank. Then after say five matches the engine could rate your elo. Then you dont have beginners having a demoralizing fall from 400 or worse 800 if they chose intermediate which a lot do for whatever reason. The point is to try and get better consistency for low elo players, and not have them fall from a random elo rating they chose. As well as other things, but i hope you get my point.

@@fintan9218 As I recall (it was some time ago, so I'm not confident), what you suggest is exactly what's implemented: you specify your level, and then you spend 3 or so games until your rating is finally calculated. Not sure what happens with the points of the people you play with.

I didn't play a few years ago, but I can easily believe you. Many players under 1000 can refute the stafford gambit for example. Also there's a huge difference in skill between blitz and rapid players, the blitz players being way better. Even though I'm 1200 in rapid and 800 in blitz, I'd say I'm much better at blitz actually. The rapid players are just so much worse, that it's way easier to gain rating

Thanks for the videos!

These are super helpful

Such a good video to learn from

Fischerman's puzzle please!😊

I'm not so surprised about a 400 playing with 80% accuracy in that type of game. In my experience the biggest weaknesses of that rating level are not knowing much about tactics and not seeing checkmates by either side. When both players play a quiet and solid game, the 400 player can do pretty well. Throw a tricky gambit at them and the accuracy drops to the 30s or below.

You are a very gifted teacher ❤❤❤

31:55 I believe taking the a1 rook is better since the h1 rook is already trapped, so taking the h1 rook loses the Knight if they play Bb2

@tylerbuckle4368

If Nelson would have taken the a1 rook first, he would not have been able to take the h1 rook. All white has to do after NxRa, play f3 blocking the queen from capturing the rook on h1. It saves his knight as you stated but misses the opportunity to capture the other rook on h1.

In game 4 actually the opponent didnt play the stonewall correctly. playing the 4 pawn moves continuously is the wrong transposition of the stonewall and as a stonewall player myself I like to play Nbd2 and BD3 to prevent NE5 before playing C3 and F4 as those moves can be played whenever it needs

I'm a little late to this one (probably more than "a little" late, since it's been over 2 weeks) even though I've seen installments of Peter Patzer playing against higher rated opponents. Finding about an hour of free time for a single video isn't easy, which is why I was able to dive in more easily when the videos were shortened to about half an hour, but I will get to all of the installments sooner or later.

the trick he is taking about at 25 min,18 sec i think, is that after: 1) c3, King: c7 for the sake of it lol, 2) Rock:b4, Bishop:e6 u can play: 3) f5, Bishop: f7 4) f6 and u cant take, then i take the bishop! Have a great day all

55:21 this is a blunder according to the game review, and the opponent was free to take your knight, but instead they chose to play Bxf5, winning a bishop but losing a rook (which is also a blunder). The computer recommends undoing your bishop move (or you lose the bishop), but I guess you weren't looking to do that anyway.

Nah, i wish he showed what the computer rated. Was probably like 700/800 elo rating. Im 240 in rapid and have a lot of games with high accuracy where the computer rates me high(and my opponent sometimes too). One i want to send to guess the elo, i lost but it was 75%/86% accuracy with no blunders and it was long game. We were both 200 elo. The person who won is now 500elo. Lots of people start accounts as beginners learning, lose a lot of elo while learning basics but still playing ranked games. Then they get kind of good but are stuck. Like im rated 900+ elo in puzzles, and 1000+ in rapid on lichess. It’s weird, i wish i could just jump back up to 400 at least quickly, but you gain so little points and if you win consistently you get opponents like that 400 who play really well.
