Two times he could move his knight, improving it by also capturing material.... And he didn't. It's strange that I am able to see other player's blunders, but not seeing mine! 😁

Yes, great format to watch both sides thinking and playing!

Thank you Nelson. I think you’ve invented a new format and it works. Listening to both players thinking through the moves makes it even more exiting then a speed run.m. Just great to watch. As far as I can tell you’ve changed the editing a bit so that your thought process doesn’t give away to much of the tension of the game, Because we are listening to your opponents first. Keep it up!

Indeed, I have never seen this format anywhere else. I really like Nelson's understated approach too. It will catch on and I bet Gotham picks it up. I can really relate to the 900 odd level player as I have been there recently and as an 1100 or so I can see a few things I've learnt that make a difference. For example considering when putting a piece in a position to trade, what am I going to be exchanging with and does it worsen my position? If so, don't invite that. It all stems from internalising Igor Smirnov's "To take is a mistake" dictum, at least for me. I am quite impressed at his positional understanding however. He considers what his better pieces are. I think he needs to grind more puzzles and his opening knowledge could be improved?

Naroditsky is also very good

Key difference is Nelson thinks longer before deciding on a move but his moves does more than just attack or defend. He would position his pieces on good squares that would squeeze the 1000 rated player.

@joannewilson6577

Not only that but Nelson develop all his pieces a lot faster and he doesn't play very bad move like g3....that was a super weak move that only a beginner would do. So that was two rookie major mistakes.

I really like these types of videos. Getting perspective from both sides of the board and at differing skill levels is very interesting and informative.

Thank you both, a very instructive tutorial and easy to follow. More please. You both have such a good way of presenting the options on the available moves. Most enjoyable.

Great game! Love this format. Hope you keep doing these vids for us

Keep this format going! I would also like to see the post game conversation between you and your opponent as you discuss the game review. Think it would be instructive to see how you both reflect on the key moments of the game.

This was a really helpful video. Seeing the advanced vs intermediate perspective, seeing what each think about, and the habit to backseat drive like "no, no, you should be thinking about THIS!"...and then realizing I make those same mistakes...it's very informative in an entertaining package. You both taught me a lot today. Thank you.

Dude, his board is much higher quality, Nelson please look into how he records the board, it is higher resolution.

Love this series. Haven't seen this concept on another chess canal. Subscribed.

love your videos nelson

This is a great video. Do more of these if you feel up to it Nelson! Especially for the people who are low elo :)

highly educational series, love it

Hey cool series thanks for making these

Very useful instructional format, and great content 😎

This is what I have been looking for!! Thanks guys!!

I love this series. Outstanding learning tool.

I had a lot new idea dur to this video , thx Nelson!

This is awesome, very helpful insight

This is by far the best chess channel on KZread. Thank you so much!!

I Enjoyed That, I Would like to See More. Very Instructive to Follow along.

This is great. Please do more of this kind of games.

What a great analysis video, better than other channels imo.

this is an absolutely fantastic way to teach chess!!!! great job nelson

Well, that was more informative than a class.... I learned more from that game than any. I thank both players for explaining what they are doing and being honest about it. Thank you both.

This is a superb video, very good idea to do a two-sided. As a ver y dumb person it took 5 mins or so to get in the groove of following the back and forth but fascinating to see you both talk through what the other person's options are. Just finished and it got even better. What an insight into the human perspective. At the 42-minute mark, the English dude is focused on the Bishop/Castle thing in the corner and the other guy doesn't even consider it part of the game. Very interesting stuff.

Very good content! Loved this. He did manage to feel out his own mistakes, but wasn't able to actually calculate it all. That's the difference in skill here, in a nutshell. Gotta work on those tactics!

I love this concept. No training video shows more the different ways of thinking 🎉 its rly varied 😁

Love the concept !! And you look like Tom hardy. Great video. 🎉

Great Nelson!! Tyvm!

Total abandonment of the king mid game is an interesting tactic

Good video ! Well done

You're really straight forward that makes you different from gotham chess and etc.

Wow what a creative video! Never had this much fun learning haha

Great idea and video. Lil suggestion - If there was another player that was even more advanced like 2500 reflecting over both your games, I think that would add a little more value to this.

thanks learned a lot also smart way to understand the game on the critical sec

great video, and very instructive. and with analysis like this @CorneredChess will leave elo level 1000 way behind very soon

2:41 So far I've heard black musing 'I think c3 is a move but I can't remember the line' and black musing 'I don't remember the lines but I think c3 is a move let's play that'. My take: 1000 or 2200, no difference, they don't really know their openings past the third move yet :)

Bro I was here when you had like 100k followers, been out for some time. Half mill? Congrats man

Very enjoyable presentation.

Great video hope it becomes s long series l.

The early move of defending the knight with a pawn istead of using bishop to defend and devolop was a big issue. It blocked a developing sqaure for his other knight which became continual discussion.

Cool perspective from both sides

He did get cornered in the end. So well named 😂

hello brother

Please make a video explaining what are inaccuracies and how to avoid them.

Very good concept

Good format. For education, I think watching just your side is more useful. This is because watching your opponent's side does not really provide a lot of *new* insights when you are around the same elo level as them. But also including them in the video is entertaining though. So for entertainment, you could include your opponent's side as well. Not meant to hate on CorneredChess, just feedback on the format. Big shout out to him for participating :)

Great game, love these videos! Cornered Chess played very well overall. Really shows that it all comes down to just a few small decisions (that turn into mistakes). It's difficult to see them in the moment for us sub 2,000 players 😂. It's kinda like golf, if you're off just 2° or 3° at impact it makes a major difference down range. The 'Magnus Effect' - golfers hate it, chess players envy it.

Great video, Nelson! I really hope you'll make a series based on this idea, it would be very useful. CorneredChess is a star! It's funny, my ELO is 1235, but I can't boast of such a structured thinking as CorneredChess has. Maybe I play a little better, but my thoughts are a furious hurricane. It seems like I can learn something from a person who plays not better than me. Interesting! Guys! Please continue! 🙏

I love this series. It would be great to see you play against @ApexChesss

As someone who is rated around a thousand I saw exactly what I already knew from my own games. At the thousand rating mark you start to get good at planning your own moves, but it is still difficult to accurately predict your opponents. I think it's because the people I play against can seem erratic. At the 2k rating moves and ideas become more consistent. At lower ratings people do crazy moves and positions get out of hand fast.

Great format. When the rating difference is this big, perhaps you could be on the treadmill the whole time to even things out a little!

The difference is nelsi is constantly thinking attack and how to develop while defending whereas 1000 elo is stuck on one threat moves at defending pieces by moving them without developing other pieces while simultaneously defending. Also not recognizing dangerous threats is a common mistake that many of us have. Ty for sharing

@SparkyForce

3 ай бұрын

Also scared of tension. They only let pieces stare at each other for a few moves before getting the urge to trade them off for basically no reason. I am also 1000 so I see it all the time haha

Not in that position with the bishop pair staring at you in the corner, the knight on g6 ready to jump in and both queen and rook lurking behind the lines. That’s a terrible time to be opening yourself up like that.

This was a great watch

Good stuff. I'm a bit surprised that Cornered didn't automatically assume he was doomed if he took the rook , otherwise I would happily accept playing Nelson so evenly for so deep into the match.

1:50 c3 with a need for queen controlling the centre and 17:53 he miss the chance to develop the knight and attack the bishop when he developed fewer pieces making him cannot find a good time to develop his knight and the knight also blocking the rook behind then leads to a strange g3 in front of a castled king because of too few pieces to defend and at the end he just give up to think and push his only developed bishop to capture a pawn far far away from the battlefield

The moment your opponent played c3, the best attacking move by the fish is Qh5 since c3 is an opening mistake (however the most sneakiest is Qe7 because then you can take your opponent to a deep forest where 2+2=5).

Great videos , how about ame vs Alex banzea , Gotham, alessia or Anna cramling to see how the higher levels think against each other ?

This is how chess need to be taught. Great game folks.

Your awesome nelson!!!

CorneredChess could have gotten close to Nelson's level if he knew that moving f2, g2 or h2 is bad

For those whos wondering what the main differentes are: 1000 uses standard design, 2200 old design.

Cornered chess played well ! His issue was going after a rook while there was a lot of pressure on his king. And never developing his knight when there was a lot of good chances for it

@userac-xpg

3 ай бұрын

His issues were.. 1. The pawn push threatening the bishop and creating a backwards pawn (which neither of them mentioned) 2. Not moving his knight despite having several obvious chances to move it to d2. 3. Weakening his kingside by pushing g2 instead of just moving his bishop back. All of those were clear errors.

at the end is there Rf4 and bringing the h pawn for checkmate?

thank you guys, really interesting material to see. 50 min just vanished :) i hope so you will do it consistently :) SUB AND LIKE BOTH OF YOU :)

I can't find the link to the game review. Anyone? Thanks.

He pretty much got cornered.

Hey, Nelson, I like you a lot i mean the way you explain chess.I want to show a game and explain how to spot tactics in a real game

In the interest of helping the lower rated player out, I would suggest asking them to identify when they feel they're about to make a bad move before they actually move. Sometimes you don't know what to do but have the sense that something has gone wrong. It can help you help them understand where they're going wrong with their thinking because it helps identify their level of thinking and danger sense in a way that's more accurate than them talking. For example, a player who loses because they missed a tactic and got behind needs to brush up on tactics is different from a player who isn't paying proper attention to development. A player who loses because they failed in controlling a key square is different from one who didn't know that they should try to at all which is different from one who can sense that they should be doing something but can't tell what.

I am new to the game and I enjoy your program but I find it hard to focus when the b oard VIEW keeps changing sides.

How can I play you, Nelson in this format?
