When I got my first game with zero blunders i was 700 now I'm 1100 one month later- just saying the more you playing like that you are garenteed more elo
u mean the 1st game review? i assume most black moves where forced, which allows the PC calculate accuractly and deep and the saem time. that's what they are good at
Usually the person with higher accuracy is the winner I’ve beaten people where their accuracy was higher than mine so accuracy isn’t everything it’s still a good thing to have high accuracy .Strategic understanding and tactical awareness are also key elements . Having a high accuracy does mean you are most likely playing best moves though
Accuracy is computed according to the engine moves and lines. We all know that even super GMs can't be 100% accurate (unless they play like a 10 move checkmate game), because of some moves being very unnatural from a human pov. That said, for most of us, accuracy closer to 80-90% is good in a long game.
Nelson has the most likeable personality. There is another UA-camr higher rated with more followers who I will not name, but who annoys me intensely. Hikaru is the rock star of UA-camrs but he's too fast for me.
when i hear Nelson reasoning about a next move i feel like i have the same thought process and i am almost as good in chess as he is. and i dont even play chess. amazing
One thing I think I just realized from watching a lot of these rating climbs. You often say opponents aren't taking time to think which is true often but I think a lot of them are planning while you're spending time talking your thoughts out to us
I’ve noticed sometimes the game review that does the rating guess is off. It will only give you credit of up to a certain amount of rating base on where you are currently.
Another very interesting video against higher rated players , much to try to learn ! Another " brilliant " move when not striving for them 🤣 . Thank you Nelson
4:50 I actually thought the Knight was the best move, but the Bishop move you did worked very well too though. Edited: because I'm only 500 elo, and at 10:31 I was happy to see that stockfish agreed with me, gives me hope that my elo can get better.
I'm a beginner and sometimes I'm given 97% and sometimes 79% accuracy. If I defeat the computer its often because the computer makes one more blunder than I do. I hope to consistently play games with no blunders or only one blunder before moving to the next level as if I win with blunders it means to me it is not I who won but the computer who lost.
Not the best way to win making less blunders than your opponent . Just take time to think a move through a bad move is usually obvious try double checking before you move .
The accuracy score doesn't always mean that you played well. Quite often it means that your opponent played a bad game, and you just used their mistakes to win the game
@@michaelmassaro4375 that's literaraly what Nelsen has said a hundred times - avoid blinders. that's how he won many of his game in this climb untill elo 100 i think - his words not mine
@@shadeburst blunders also include forks, pinning and other tactics. also generally saying most pieces are attacked and defended at the same time so you need to count how many defenders vs attackers, otherwise it's alaso a blunder. also getting checked and then forked is also a blunder... also missing an oppoturnite to fork and checkmate or getting checkmated is a blunder and u have to check for those on every move. so what i am saying it's bit more copletecated than not leaving your pieces hanging
0:57 I saw the idea of Nxb5, but another follow-up. Nxb5 axb5 Bxb5+ Nd7 Ne5 Bg5. In this case, it looks like white wins back a piece, because the knights cannot defend each other, due to the pins.
He was Probably A Great Tactical Player But Not A Great End Game Player, honestly it's Sad to See him Loose That One, I'm Only So it might Seem Cocky But I Would've Won That Game Against you Nelson
A similar idea can be played in the stockfish line if black plays Qe7 instead of Be7, as the pins on the knights would cause black to give back a piece. On top of that, Be7 loses a queen by force. That means Qe7 would be met with Bg5, but I still do not really see why stockfish wanted to sacrifice the rook on f5, but I think it has to do with the fact that the black king would get exposed and do not forget that the black queen, as well as the knights, can be a target, which Nelson showed in the other line.
26:34 I saw the queen check at f3 as a continuation to the knight sack, but I thought it wouldn't have had any continuation after hat or atleast I didn't see the fork opportunity after it😅
That feels great, when you make brilliant move, with calculating all options. That feels funny, when you blunder, but not blundered having a tactical move for that. That feels genius, when you play bullet game, and make a brilliant move in 0.3 seconds (that was a blunder, but let's pretend It was fast calculating)
Hey if the move leads to a checkmate than it deserves a brilliant !! Eliminating the knight or forcing it to move would’ve been mate in one with Queen and Bishop . Blocking the rooks connection was a good move by his opponent but it wasn’t enough
The guy who knew the variation of the wasp played a really nice game. They totally had a draw in the pocket and should have taken it. Granted they thought Nelson was just an average opponent and thought they could flag him but that is a bit of hopechess because you never know how good your opponents mouseskills are
The reason people move so fast is 'cause they start freaking out at the 2-3 min mark, even though relatively it's a fair amount of time. But if the opponent has 6-8 mins left, it certainly doesn't feel like it. Especially if the game hasn't progressed much. So I prefer having my opponent in that position to lay on the pressure by continuing to move briskly making it more likely they blunder. That's the mentality here. Obviously it happens less in a 10-min game, but say 1 outta 5 games someone who is moving too slow can be put in this position before they even realize it. Then that minute mark hits and they totally poop their pants. Moreover a 10-minute reg is less likely to cope under these conditions than a Blitz or Bullet player strangely making it counter-intuitively correct to move fast.
I think the real reason people move so fast is that if it's a standard opening, the first few moves are played fast and we unconsciously keep that rhythm going. My tip is to plan what I would do if I was playing the other side BUT I lose a fair number of games on time.
8:24 I actually knew about this tactic and get to use it in games for free brilliant moves more often than you’d think around 700 elo because people are always flinging pawns trying to trap pieces lmao
@ sure there is and it makes sense to me since you’re giving up a 3 point piece for 2 pawns but having more of an attack and not cramping up your pieces retreating on your own position
I swear 1500s play worse than the 700-800s in my rating range in some of these games. How does the guy walk his queen into an obvious knight fork in the first game with 9 minutes in the clock??
It's an inside joke arising from a time Nelson played a suspected cheater. His coach emailed Nelson a list of reasons why his student wasn't cheating and prime among these was that the student was cooking rice during a followup move that most people would play instantly. It all seemed a bit fishy and now 'cooking rice' is synonymous with cheating around these parts.
@@ItsButteryit comes from a cheater he encountered who’s response to taking a long time on really obvious moves is that he was checking his rice cooker
I lost a chess game and it made me rage so hard the person who beat me was complete garbage! I was playing and my mouse clicks were not registering I made 12 missclicks/blunders because my mouse wasn’t working the other person got 3 queens and I had 1 pawn and my King and it took them 35 moves to checkmate me with 3 queens I was so mad to of lost to such a bad chess player.
I always watch all of these. But don’t get into click bait that’s just annoying and the reason I watch you over gothamchess. The whole reason I found (I think about 2 years ago) was because I was looking for a UA-camr who is less “clicks” and “entertainment” and more about quality teaching.

"my blunder was a brilliant move"
~~Nelson Lopez quote of the year, 2024 ‼️‼️
📈📈
Stockfish is like:
"You missed an obvious mate in 17 moves! I'm taking 19% of your accuracy away!"
Meanwhile, you blunder a piece sometimes and it's like "eh that's only 1%"
@@WheatGrindingstockfish loves positinal advantages sometimes it sacrifices rook for a knight and you still be completely okay
@thereisnospoon1678 Yes but I'm talking about cases where it's like "Yeah you gave up a knight here but you're already losing so lol why not"
Blunder being a brilliant move is peak chess comedy.
13:36 "I could ask the bishop a question." I found that really funny.
Your channel has really brought me back into chess
just when u thought u were out
I just had my first game with zero blunders😂I was playing for like 3 straight days. I love it! Still under 500 though and I play 30 min games.
hit 89 days straight today.
When I got my first game with zero blunders i was 700 now I'm 1100 one month later- just saying the more you playing like that you are garenteed more elo
Just keep grinding and you’ll be fine. The blunders are relative.
Excellent.
Now I feel better I am blundering in 3 minutes games 😅
these uploads are killing my monday blues.
Best thing to chill after a tough day at work.
Hello, I just wanted to say thank you for all your work you put in. I m not laughing but this is the best Chess channel on youtube. Thank you
It's crazy when stock fish asks you to take a defended pawn with a knight and 20 steps down the line that's winning 😮
if it's in the opening you should just memorize that stuff so you're going to get fast wins 😂
u mean the 1st game review?
i assume most black moves where forced, which allows the PC calculate accuractly and deep and the saem time. that's what they are good at
Chess Vibes love love your videos, Merry Christmas

48:50 that was epic

Best way not to blunder is never to leave pieces hanging. When you attack don't leave pieces undefended and have a line of retreat available.

Great video!
The commentary at the start of game 5 is so funny “I have never seen this configuration in my life”
What happened to the Peter Patzer story series? I can't find part 45 or higher
0:57 I saw the idea of Nxb5, but another follow-up. Nxb5 axb5 Bxb5+ Nd7 Ne5 Bg5. In this case, it looks like white wins back a piece, because the knights cannot defend each other, due to the pins.
Can we add the de Smet Gambit to the list?
1. e4 d6 2. d4 e5 3. dxe5 Nc6 4. exd6 Bxd6 *
I think chess masters should devote some time in playing some shooter games on their PCs, this should reduce drastically the mouse slips! ;)
quake live u say?
I just got into the 1600+ elo and the jump in difficulty from around 1450-1500 to 1600+ is crazy
He was Probably A Great Tactical Player But Not A Great End Game Player, honestly it's Sad to See him Loose That One, I'm Only So it might Seem Cocky But I Would've Won That Game Against you Nelson
The game at 40:00 is there a reason you couldn’t have just advanced your E pawn a square? It would have been protected by the horse and queen
Sir, I love your style. Of chess learning comment
You are my best teacher
I am from India ( chhattisgarh)
A similar idea can be played in the stockfish line if black plays Qe7 instead of Be7, as the pins on the knights would cause black to give back a piece. On top of that, Be7 loses a queen by force.

(@28:04) Yeah, I didn’t see the rook sack, either. I was just, “let’s push the e-pawn to deflect the knight from g2. Checkmate.” trick.
Game 3 was crazy, nice job
lol, Nelson mouse slips and it's a good move. He blunders a rook and it's a brilliant move! Pass some of that luck over this way, would you?
Nelsi u beast
Been watch your older videos. It’s nice to see how comfortable you are on camera now. Congrats on your evolution and success. 💪🏻🙏🏻
@37:45 kf4 saves the knight attacks the queen and you end up with a free bishop.
I guess the queen sac healed your headache hehe. Good game !!!
I okay the Caro and I need to make a mental note to go through your first game again to avoid that in my games lol.
at 10:00 you say the only way to defend is Be7, but black can play Qe7. Hence Nc6 before Qe2 is correct.
37:39 would saccing the knight on C3 have been a good in-between move?
Ahh nope, because the bishop could just take it LOL
29:45 I played this gambit and had similar position but didn't know what is the follow up and played an inaccurate move still won.
26:34 I saw the queen check at f3 as a continuation to the knight sack, but I thought it wouldn't have had any continuation after hat or atleast I didn't see the fork opportunity after it😅
48:20 crazy endgame
I am currently at 1637 and i can tesrify and confirm nelson's statement that "1600's are very very strong"
I'm glad I'm not the only one who gets a headache from trying to break 1600
29:02
i dont think i have ever seen him get so upset over them not following his plan for the gambit
That was a beautiful checkmate in the last game - Levy would have exploded
That feels great, when you make brilliant move, with calculating all options.
That feels funny, when you blunder, but not blundered having a tactical move for that.
That feels genius, when you play bullet game, and make a brilliant move in 0.3 seconds (that was a blunder, but let's pretend It was fast calculating)
God bless you and your family and you all have a merry Christmas!
At 27:00 I was thinking you should go Bb4!
Mouse slip brilliant is hilarious
Hey if the move leads to a checkmate than it deserves a brilliant !! Eliminating the knight or forcing it to move would’ve been mate in one with Queen and Bishop . Blocking the rooks connection was a good move by his opponent but it wasn’t enough
Brilliant queen sac.
Bardamu game: "Basic opening principles don't bring out the queen too early just develop."
The guy who knew the variation of the wasp played a really nice game. They totally had a draw in the pocket and should have taken it. Granted they thought Nelson was just an average opponent and thought they could flag him but that is a bit of hopechess because you never know how good your opponents mouseskills are
Great games. Even when you mouse slip, you pull through and win. When I mouse slip, it's game over.
The opponent playing the French gave Nelson a headache, which was the cured when the opponent resigned. Me too Nelson, me too 😂

Qxh3 was crazy I saw it just before you and prayed you will see it
Elephant gambit game was crazy😮
Edit: The 2 elephant gambit games were crazy
Accuracy just means how well it followed theory. Once you're out of theory, it's not meaningful
Stockfish is Amazing. He must have been playing for years .
Why have you uploaded your video at an accelerated play speed? 1.1x or 1.2x?
Does that one winner get to keep their points?
“This is a tricky position”
8:24 I actually knew about this tactic and get to use it in games for free brilliant moves more often than you’d think around 700 elo because people are always flinging pawns trying to trap pieces lmao
There is a 0% chance you saw that exact series of moves as a 700 rated player.
@ sure there is and it makes sense to me since you’re giving up a 3 point piece for 2 pawns but having more of an attack and not cramping up your pieces retreating on your own position
"Oh No My Queen!!"
free knight u missed at 56:10
I don’t think taking the knight was a mistake. If you didn’t he could have played queen to c7 for mate
hi nelson can you do this seres untill 2400 rating
Could someone explain why it would be a draw if the pawn was taken around 47 min?
The simple opening .. New opening by Nelson !! 😅
What does the title mean? Happy Holiday
it was a total of 3-moves game, so 100 doesn't mean anything
alright, I got baited into watching the whole thing just to see why accuracy doesn't matter, good games though
That's not fare!
On my blunders I only get the two question marks, never the two exclamation marks :(
Should've named this video "Why you don't memorize all opening lines" :D
remember, it's not a blunder if you win
This shows that the more you climb the cooler it becomes😂😂😂😂😅😅😅😅
Why Rook B1 anyway,? What does that move even do?
The French gives me an instant headache too.
I swear 1500s play worse than the 700-800s in my rating range in some of these games. How does the guy walk his queen into an obvious knight fork in the first game with 9 minutes in the clock??
Respectfully, I will not be playing the Elephant Gambit 😂
1:06:08, that's why Gotham says never play rook b1(he has even created one dong for it)
Rice?
My son keeps asking me what rice means, and I dont have an answer for him... so, what does it mean?

@Chunes3 lol, okay, thanks for letting me know, now I can finally give my kid an answer. I appreciate you!
Has anyone else had their account closed for having 90+ accuracy games, been a few days now, with no email explaining why my account was closed?
What is “Rice: 2”?😂
It means that 2 people cheated
It means the opponent has an Asian flag
What is the acronym tho?
