2024 World Chess Championship Struggle Continues!
Nice seeing small chess channels. Would you like to play some games?
Hopefully the channel keeps growing. I am busy now but have had a few people ask to play chess so after the holidays I will do some videos where I play subscribers and review the game. I will have more details on this in the future. Thanks for taking time to comment and I look forward to playing you in the future!
hello nick butts
Hello how are you?
I like the choice of monochrome board with coloured highlights, makes it visually pleasing to follow.
Thanks, are there any famous chess player's games you prefer to see in the future?
@@nickbutts64 I like your mix of old masters and new, I'd especially like a deep dive into Bobby Fischer's canon though.
Yes I will definitely have to do some Bobby Fischer videos in the future!
You make me feel like you are bobby fisher's brother. By the way i give you my subscribe. I 'll learn more from your channel.
Thanks for subscribing! I will try to create more videos like this.
very fun to do the puzzles along side your explanations! Thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for the comment!
great vid man. Can i ask what your rating is if its not rude
Thanks glad you enjoyed the video. Around 1700 rating, worse on faster time controls, how about you?
good video sir
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed!
*es-cape 😉🤭👍
Thanks for commenting
@@nickbutts64 Hope you don't mind my drawing attention to it, if I'd heard you say it once or twice, no problem, but when it's dozens of time per video, you understand👍
Thanks I didn’t realize how often I was saying “escape squares” in my videos! I know some repetitive words or phrases can be distracting and annoying. I’ll try to avoid that in the future. Thanks again I welcome any recommendations and suggestions!
@@nickbutts64 It's not the repetition, you understand; it's the pronunciation as "exscape", I hate to be a pedant and apologise for harping on it, but it's like gravel in my show now 😆
No problem! I will try to avoid that word, thanks for your input and taking time to comment!
Your analysis was enthralling.
Thanks! 😃
This is very interesting, but I'd like it if you would show the future moves you speculate about. Can't you continue moving the pieces? On some sites I know you can do that by pressing analysis. Thank you for an interesting video!
Thanks so much for your comment. The chess puzzles in this video just stop if you make a wrong move and then you must try again. In the future I will have to set up some chess puzzles on an analysis board so that I can show the variations like you recommend. Thanks for your valuable input!
Please don't stop these videos! Great channel, so instructive
Thanks! Glad you are enjoying the channel.
starting to become one of my fav chess channels keep it up
Thanks! I am glad you are enjoying the channel.
2100 here this is some solid commentary cant believe you only have 1.35k subs brother
Thanks for the comment and encouragement I hope the channel continues to steadily grow!
nice video
Thanks
nice video!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video. Are there any famous chess masters you would like to see in the future? 😃
Excellent puzzles. Do you have an account in lichess?
Glad you enjoyed the chess puzzles. I only have a Chess.com account, I may have to check out Lichess in the future. Thanks for taking time to comment.
I was looking forward to the analysis, without knowing the result...then you showed the result before the game...d'oh! How about a spoiler alert next time?
You are right I will start showing the game accuracy percentage at the end. Thanks for the good advice!
this amature isn't too bad.
The no name player could have been a 2000 level chess player perhaps. Thanks for your comment!
GG ...More vdo on the modern scandinavian PLZ ....computers prefers Nf6 instead of Nb6 🎉🎉🎉
Glad the video was helpful. Yes I can do a Modern Scandinavian chess opening video in the future. Thanks for taking time to comment!😃
Congratulations with passing 1K subscribers! It may have happened a while ago, I noticed this for the first time right now. Keep up the good work!
Thank you! I reached 1K subscribers a few months ago and the channel is steadily growing. I may reach 1300 subscribers this month. Thanks again!
Such an underrated video. Thank you for your explanation. 🙏
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for taking time to comment and best of luck on your chess journey!😃
Great video i like how explain everything very clearly so its easier to understand. Thanks! 😃
You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed!
I wouldn't have understood this match without your commentary. Thank you!😁
You’re welcome, glad to help! Thanks for your comment!
Thank you for this! Very helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
I never thought about puzzles in this way, it is actually a good way of identifying patterns, much obliged for the upload.
Thanks glad to help!
Great video keep it up! (edit) in 21st minute you ere black not white
Thanks, yes I lost concentration and reversed colors on that one chess puzzle haha. 😂
Thanks for the info... but, isn't this just how you imagine a match would go for you to play with those specific moves?
I was just showing some of the common moves you might see in the Scotch chess opening. You could play a bunch of blitz chess with the Scotch to get a bigger picture of what moves you may encounter. Thanks for your comment.
@nickbutts64 I am a beginner, so, apparently, i haven't adopted that mindset yet.
If rf8+, qxf8, qxq is mate
What time in the video was the problem you are talking about?
Fantastic analysis of this classic game, Nick! Paul Morphy is a tactical genius. His sacrifice of the rook in the endgame was very bold. Yes please, more Paul Morphy games would be good to see.
Yes Paul Morphy was an amazing chess player too bad his chess career was so short. Glad you enjoyed I will analyze more Morphy games in the future. Thanks for your comment and have a great day!
The best chess instructor of all time. Very easy to follow and analyse. Please give us more.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed and thanks for taking time to comment!
King's Gambit for me!
Yes the King’s Gambit can be a fun chess opening! Thanks for your comment.
As per my other comment...I am new to this but I thought you decline to recapture the pawn on d4 with the knight, or have I got this Scotch game all wrong?
The regular Scotch chess opening white recaptures on d4 with the knight but in the Scotch Gambit white develops the bishop instead. Both are good options and depend on your playing style. Thanks for your comments.
I am just learning but I tend to like the Scotch Gambit as white.
Love your reviews of classic games!
Glad you like them! I will have to do more!
Cheater for sure. Account created on oct 1 this year. Report him
It’s a shame so many people are cheating, that will not help them improve their chess! I guess some chess players just get so mad when they are losing that they cheat maybe. I have never reported any players for cheating because I don’t really know for sure and can’t prove it. Also I have some way above average games myself along with some way below average chess games too haha!😆
Thanks for the lesson.
You’re welcome, have an outstanding day!
You are op
I will have to play some of the harder chess bots in the future. Thanks for your comment.
Watch in 1.5 x
I explain slowly in my videos so any beginners can follow along but playing the video at 1.5x speed is a great idea if I am going to slowly for you quicker chess players!
Really tricky even knowing what the situation requires, an attack, a tactic to force a capture etc. but useful lesson nonetheless.
Yes these puzzles are harder. I plan to just keep increasing the puzzle rating by 50 points per video for a while. If there’s anything specific you want to see in future videos just let me know. Thanks for your comment I hope your chess adventures are going well!
Excellent lesson, very clear and instructive. Thank you.
You’re welcome! Have a great day!
Try knight G7 without the fianchetto for black .
I will have to take a look at that, thanks for the comment.
Very instructive as usual; the arrows are great but only to elucidate what you're thinking in the moment, if you can immediately reset to allow us to try to remember (visualise) for ourselves, that'd be useful. Thanks for the upload.
Thanks for your comment. I will try not to go too crazy with the arrows on the board!
First 8 moves is normal Stafford stuff - any regular Stafford player rated 1600 and above is likely to play similar. By then you are in a super-tricky position where you need next to perfect play just to hold. 9..h4 is suspicious. 11...hg is not that special, 12..Rh2 is tricky but findable for a good player. So, yes it's a cheater, but if you play like this against a well-prepared 1900 you also get blown off the board.
Yes the Stafford Gambit can be tricky! Thanks for commenting!
Good luck with your quest. I'll probably reach it before you.
Thanks and good luck to you as well!
Looking forward to this one! No quarter given to poor John...
Yes I have to get John to play other players because it can be discouraging if you lose too many games like my little slump in my Quest For 2000 series right now. I hope your chess is going well!
I would recommend using the annotation feature for your videos (holding right click, or single-clicking with right click). It will make it much easier for viewers to follow along with what you're referring to throughout the games
Do you mean adding the arrows on screen? That is a good idea thanks!
Love the video, thanks!
You’re welcome!
Great stuff!
Thanks!
Wow, 1 hour of chess gameplay, making hours of videos of chess just for low views is crazy. Keep it up man!
Thanks, will do!
