It’s funny, when you watch someone every day, their face becomes a familiar and friendly comfort in a similar way to RL friends. But it’s also similarly horrible watching them suffer. There’s so much love for you through this channel man, and you’ve earned every bit of it. Thoughts with you to get well soon.

Zugzwangs with pieces still on the board are beautiful. Glad you're feeling better, Nelson!

Great puzzle! It's so interesting when there's a queen on the board that has so many moves but none of them are good. Still keeping you in my thoughts and prayers and wishing you a speedy recovery

Glad you have some answers. Our family will continue Praying for you and your family.

I love it when a chess game becomes a game of Nim, and you need to make just the right move to put your opponent in Zugzwang. That's creative. Wishing you a speedy recovery, dude. Take care.

Praying for your quick recovery. Love your videos.

All the best to you. I hope the Fischerman saga will continue once you are doing better.

We are all with you, sir. God bless and take care. And don't worry about making videos if you are physically unable to do so. Your health comes first. That said, when you do get better, i hope you will be able to continue the story of Bobby Fischerman and his two pals!

Glad to hear you are doing better, I did have a question, I still don't really understand why you can't play f4. I know you're trying to put black in Zugzwang but then why can't you follow up with f5 after that which would also attack the queen? Edit: looking at it more I realized why you can't play f5 because after queen to h5, moving knight to e6 won't win the queen since the pawn is in the way. Left the post up in case someone else didn't see it and I still wanted to say that I'm glad youre doing better Nelson and I hope you have a speedy recovery

Also the queen would be able to take the knight since it's no longer protected by the rook when the pawn is in between

i like how the recommended for "learn this next" is his video talking abt his gout good luck tho stay strong

You're the greatest, I've learned so much from watching and studying your posts, fantastic!

Hey Nelson I hope u get better soon. Sending prayers❤

good vids. you and chess epic are my fav chess youtubers. Im very glad hear good news, cos they were very rare in my family lately, so im happy I can be glad for you.

Get well soon and prayers for you and your family.

Welcome back Nelson. Wish you get recovered and get well asap.

hope you feel better soon!

This is called the "mutual" or "reciprocal zugzwang".

Hope you feeling better ❤

Glad to hear you are doing better. Be good to yourself. You are the only you you've got.

King c7 was difficult to find but still ok, but h4 Zugzwang puzzles are in my opinion one of the hardest because even very difficult tactics make you just understand the synergy between a few pieces. These position needs you to have full understanding of what’s going on while deep in the calculation. Like you really have to understand the synergy of all the pieces on the board equally. the timing, the possible responses, traps and tricks etc and that’s just very very difficult

Praying for ya man! 🙏 ❤

Praying for your recovery bro.

Stay sharp, nelson.

For a chess expoert such as yourself, who considers what *might* happen literally hundreds of times per game, the thought of a bood clot would be extremely anxiety provoking. I am glad you are getting the right treatment and that with each day the risk of something major happening to you keeps falling. Stay strong, you seem like a good man.

@timor64 *bood clot

Happy to hear you getting better! I'm curious though, will it really be that obviously winning if we trade our rook for the queen? For example, taking one of the lines you've described - 1. Ne6+ Ke7 2. Ng5+ Kd6, and on Nxh7 we get Kxe5 (and if the rook escapes, it seems that queen escapes too). Will this be still an easy win, or we'll get another tricky pawn endgame?

Can anyone explain why f4 instead of f3 doesn't work near the end if you follow up with f5 ?

@ewababor

f5 will block the rook from defending the knight, so the blck queen can just take the knight.

"Hopefully you didn't say c3" ....he knows his audience

At the end, you mentioned you should not push the pawn 2 squares because there's nothing else to do. But what if you push that pawn another square? Seems like a good move to me.

Because queen to h5 makes the queen safe, even if you move the knight to check the king, since the pawn on f5 is in the way of the would-be rook attack.

@@megauser8512 Ah, I see it now. The pawn would block the square for the rook, so the knight can give check, but we can't take the queen anymore. Thanks.

TYFYS! Godspeed.

Chessvibes you really help me improve in chess,I was in a similar position the I was black pieces the white pieces was giving me like infinite chess till he blunders in a move so that leads me to check mate.

Thanks for the good work, hope you are doing well soon 🙏

I enjoyed it Nelson, even if I was wrong everytime u asked wats the next move lol. Get better soon

Get well soon Nelson.

Why can't black push the pawn for a discovered check instead of moving the queen first? It moves the pawn and prevents the knight/rook mate, and it gives black the initiative.

Wow, that's a nice deep problem. Glad your feeling better. I get acute gout in my big toe, so yeah I've go the T-shirt.

Take care Nelson!

Thanks for yet another super chess video! :) I wish you quick recovery!...

Hope your blood clot and your gout gets better ASAP, Nelson!

Try using Queen to d3 🎉

Gout is no joke. I hope you found some pain relief.

Don't work when Kc7, Kf8, Kd7, a4

In the back rank checkmate part dont u have discovered check with the pawn? Correct me if I’m wrong

I love puzzles.

great gut man

This will give black additional waiting move required

Good to see you. What is the rating on that puzzle - anyone?

1... Ke7 2. Ng5+, Kd6 3. Nxh7, Kxe5 Is this a clear win for white?? Just a Knight up, and Black's king is better positioned

After the black queen is on G6, couldn't you just move p-F4, and then f5, forcing the queen to move and the game is over, as the queen will be taken or there will be checkmate?

@josephhautzenroeder7512

I initially thought that, but it blocks the rook from protecting the knight. So the queen will take it, and you’ve removed the checkmate net

So the best move for black is Ke7 then? Would an engine play that? You'll lose your queen to Ng5+ discovered check, but after Kf6 you'll at least get a rook for it. With a knight extra white probably wins, but still has to work for it, maybe if low on time not a guaranteed win...

Wow. I was lost on this one.

Prayed for you again brother. Wait for healing soon!

Btw. because of your movies I came back and playing chess after years. Climbed now to 900 rating. I started from 600 and moved to 700 then back and forth with stupid mistakes and after fixing it and not panicking when was down even -7 points I won the game.

7:00 You say there are no good moves here... What about pawn to f5!!? :)

Hold up though... as long as the queen is there... Rook to E8 is not checkmate even with the king covering it. IT would just be a poor trade for black...

ello chessvibes hope your doing good

Grand Roy

When he says black’s only move is c-4 🤯

Can’t the queen just take the rook at e8?

Nice. Got half of them

When black king moves to c7 the queen should check the king on d6 and take the castle
