Hope you can get to the bottom of all these recent health problems, and that in the meantime, you know that this too will pass. Prayers for your wellbeing, and gratitude for all you've taught me.
Me too. Gout is usually diet related. Hopefully Nelsi can get that under control.
The bottom of it is the jahbs... I know it's painful and scary to face, but it's blatantly obvious at this point. Big Pharrrma lies and lies, at the expense of your health, and for profit. Until you face this obvious fact, you will keep wondering and wondering, Oh what could these seizzures, facial paralasies, sudden canncers and deths be from??? Hmmmmm...
Snap out of it guys, the time is now. Stockholllm syndrohme and deth, or facing your feaars and doing the right things, you decide. Put 2 and 2 together, this is a clever-thinking chess channel after all. Good luck, try pine neeedle tea and star annise
Next time dont take an experimental "vaccine" lol
Just so you know, I jumped ahead to the health update before the puzzle. Get well soon.
Get well! All else is secondary. Praying for you.
Whether or not you get to the bottom of what is going on, I hope you get back to feeling like yourself soon! Much love Nelson!!
Your lessons (especially on endgames and gambits) have made me gain at least 100 rating points and made chess a lot more enjoyable. Thank you.
Hang in there and feel better soon!, Nelson! Thanks for continuing your illuminating, engaging sessions in the face of adversity.
I hope you feel better soon Nelson! Stay strong! I believe you can get through this!
I'm a veteran with PTSD and I do in-home healthcare. I'm not going to comment on most of the conditions you mentioned because I'm sure that people with more education than I have are reaching out to you. Please note, I am NOT a doctor.
On the subject of anxieties however, I have a lot of experience dealing with both my own and the anxieties of people I was assisting. Here are a few things that have worked for me in dealing with night-time anxieties.
1. Get a dog and reward him with a treat and affection whenever you find him by your bed when you wake up. This will train him to come to your bed when you're waking up. An adorable labrador (or breed of your preference) loving on you when you wake up with anxieties can do a lot to calm you down. This also serves as a distraction away from whatever thoughts are upsetting you.
2. There is a lot to be said for the effectiveness of deep breathing exercises when dealing with anxieties, especially at night. You can wake up in a state of hyper-ventilation without even realizing it. Controlling your breathing, taking slow deep breaths, can have an immediate calming effect. Focusing on your breathing also works to get your mind off of upsetting thoughts.
3. Don't get down on yourself over your upsetting thoughts. Everyone has them to one degree or another. Accept them as a part of you and dismiss them in favor of your chosen distraction that is intended to take your mind off of them to lessen your anxieties.
4. Unless your anxieities arise from the fear of physical attack (an intruder) try not to turn on any lights when you wake up in the middle of the night. It can make it harder to go back to sleep.
5. The thoughts you wake up with may come from a dream, even if you don't remember it. Unless you have some kind of chemical imbalance in your brain (unlikely but only your doctor can tell you for sure) it is those thoughts that are causing the anxieties. Anything that dstracts your mind away from those thoughts will help you, at least in the short term.
Welcome back Nelson ❤
Seeing you doing well is great Nelson, best news I’ve had since my History Quiz 😭
Get well, Nelson and try not to despair. Having had similar health things in my life, I kind of know what you are going through. It's not fun for sure. You seem to be a strong, young man and you will be fine. Thanks for all your great chess instructional videos.
Get Well soon, my thoughts and prayers are with you. Please continue to hop on, if only for a minute, to keep us up to date on your health. Thanks for all you do.
Get well soon dear. You're my Chess Guru, keep shining.
I hope you get an avalanche of support. Getting our health back is the hardest thing we can do in this life... It's tricky, it's onerous, easy to give up, easy to screw up, and sometimes it feels like the commitment to yourself is stealing precious time from others.
It's not true. Good people need tou healthy and happy.
We know we can't do it all ourselves. I've learned I can't even do most of it myself. The only thing that really works is offloading the hard parts and decision making. Someone else has to choose my medications. Someone else has to control my diet. Someone else has to get me off the couch to the gym/physical therapy.
I fully believe you'll get this kicked soon enough :)
HOPE YOUU GET BETTER SOON NELSON, WE LOVE YOU
Consider it to keep the health stuff at the end but I'm sure most of us here jumped straight to the that part. Rooting for you man! Medical science is on your side!
You are right I did jump to the end
Health is definitely more important than money, but dang, I don't know how you can afford to keep going to the emergency room. Also, I'm glad your last episode was not something worse than it was. I hope you can get down to the root of all this. Be well.
Praying for you and take care of yourself first and foremost. I love the chess, but you are more important!
Prayers for your recovery Nelson.
Enduring three long waiting sessions at ER is a health problem itself. Past experiences of ER are not pleasant.
Hoping you get the answers you need.
Best wishes for putting all the pieces together for your good health Nelson 👍
Love your presentations, they are brilliant!
Prayers for you nelson stay safe and love ya content
I hope you get well soon sir!! stay strong💪
I pray for a speedy recovery and a long healthy happy life for you and your family .
Get well soon, bro! Really enjoy your content!
Man gl with all your health issues, i hope you get well soon!! I have been watching your videos during summer vacations and now i am back i did 1300 from 1200 on lichess, you really helped me there.
Take absolute care of yourself. Chess is and will always be secondary to your health.
Wish you a quick recovery Nelson.
Your still in my thoughts and prayers Nelson :)) keep going strong!
Get well soon.. Our blessings are with you.
Thanks for consciously separating your personal life from the actual content. That's a classy touch not enough people do. I emailed you some stuff about diet and shoes as a gout sufferer, but that was before this vid! ;-P hehe
Stay strong 💪 brother
Hope you get better Nelson!
Hope you get better soon Nelson
7:38 After a2 you can play Kf2 ,Kh3 is forced Rh8+ ,Kg4 Rh1 Stops the pawn!!
I had a blood clot behind my knee about 15 years ago. There were 3 factors that lead to it. I had broken the leg earlier in my life so I had some vascular damage to the leg. I had a desk job so I spent a lot of time sitting. I was and still am an avid cyclist. I used to do very long events where I would get severely dehydrated by the end of the event because I didn’t drink enough. So that’s what I would look into besides the possible connection with Covid:
1. Vascular damage in your leg
2. Being chronically dehydrated
3. Extended periods of sitting either because of a desk job or lots of traveling: sitting in a plane or in a car.
I hope you find out the cause of your blood clot and I wish you a speedy recovery. I very much enjoy your chess problem channel.
I hope you get well soon bro
Please take care ♥️
Get well soon Nelson - I appreciate you still taking the time to make videos when you've been sick. Another beautiful puzzle - I figured that the main theme would be using the threat of mate along the h-file to prevent Black capturing the a-pawn, but I missed some of the subtleties.
Wish you well soon, you seem much healthier here👍🏽
Still praying 4 u
Get well soon Mr Nelson 🙏
All the best, Nelson
love you man. stay safe
Get well soon
Feel better, dude. One of my buddies has gout. He had to give up a lot of different foods.
Hope u get beter :)
get well soon
Wish for You to get through all this soon, scary stuff, indeed....
Such a beautiful puzzle
Please take care!
Bro is a legend
Videos can wait, get better first.
He did for as long as it was necessary. Look at it from his perspective. If you're going to pause everything in your life for some blood clot, that would just ruin you mentally. Imagine doing nothing all day other than pondering about how life sucks. The person suffering from it knows best when and what to upload. There are financial reasons too. Not everyone can afford taking a break, sadly.
Videos*
We want to see him but only if it does not damage his health or his chess ability
Great puzzle!!
I'm not a believer, so I can't send prayers, but please receive my best wishes for a total recovery.
Consider booking for a long COVID clinic - the wait times are very long. If you get better, just cancel your appointment. If you don't get better you won't then have to wait months to get seen.
First, i would like to wish your health will get better soon, you deserve it, you look amazing person in term of practicality in teaching chess in very simple way with your very clear voice without any disturbance what so ever. i really enjoy watching you talking, your words enter my brain without efforts. very precious my friend. thanks for making me love chess again. peace
I too have suffered from blood clots, praying for you and thanking you for your testimony; it encouraged me greatly, It seems like all my chess friends are atheists. Thank you for sharing your faith, I hope you will do it more.
God bless you, I hope you can live for a century!
5:33 it is worth mentioning that after king f2, white now has a checkmate threat, but black can stop it by getting a queen and controlling the rook's checkmating square.
Kf2
I'm sure you know that simply sitting down is a killer and we tend to sit to play chess. So keep up the aerobic exercise, cycle, row, jog (on grass or through woods not pavements) or do your circuit training and be fine. Try Shilajit, cut out the seed oils if you eat that, ignore mainstream nutrition advice and eat good fats, avocado oil, coconut oil, olive oil in dark glass bottles from single source, animal fats and ghee. Take care bud
Feel better in your leg.
This is long covid. Hope you get better.
Please continue the fisherman series :)
6:23 Rook sacrifice does still work!❤ (Rc6)
The ROOOOOOK!
Wow! A lot going on, indeed! Great puzzle, Nelson. Thank you for your health update. Stress [even without Long Covid - I know you didn't say you had that] can cause so many unusual symptoms. Keep strong and try and stay calm. You look and sound less stressed. Take care.
No such thing as LC. You know, it’s been more than long enough to stop lying. Stress also doesn’t give you spasms which you wake up in the night from, but a deadly clot shot might.
Nelson sir I have a challenge
Make a spin wheel 🛞 contain all low rated bots (Martin) to all higher rated GM bots (hikaru) and play against them
First spin wheel play against the bot for 8 moves and change the bot for every 8 moves
Please do this challenge 🙏🙏🙏
Oh, du hast Sigurd Clausen gefunden. Der hat noch eine ganz brilliante Studie gemacht. ;-) (in Nya Dagligt Allehanda 1927, leider zunächst inkorrekt und erst viele Jahre später von Anderen korrigiert)
I will never be as good in chess as you, but I hope you get well soon!
at 2:55 can't you also play Rf7?
After pawn to a2 king to f2 and the pawn promotes rook to h8 is CHECKMATE😮
3:54
Rxa5 Kg3
Ke2
Chill, you'll get better
I wish your problems was a chess puzzle because you'd never give up until you solved it.
5:32 i don’t think this is a loss for white because you have rh8+and then after either King g1 or g2 because if king g3 then rh1 stops the pawn. Follow up with rg8 check and the only move black has unless he wants to do a repetition is king f1 to which we then have rf8+ and if king e1, rh8 preps a skewer on the 1st rank with threat of mate so king g1 would be played and correct me if I’m wrong It’s a draw because there is just a repetition of checks and black can’t stop it unless he wants to give up the pawn and lose the game.
What about the chess puzzle adventure series bro
I got covid September 2021 had a saddle pulmonary embolus in hospital for 7 weeks. needed a trach, PEG and IVC. Almost died. But now better.
My BEST wishes for you.
Take your time to be 100% healthy.
I didn't know this problem but the style looks like a José Mugnos' problem.
Am I right?
One of my friends said to me: the author is Sigurd Clausen, Arbetet, 1925
I was thinking that when your opponent plays Rh8 in the beginning, you can sacrifice your rook by playing Rh2+, which followed up by Rxh7 would lead to checkmate after promoting the pawn to a queen, but realized that the king can just take while writing this comment.
I'm familiar with blood clot because it happened to me. But Gout is something I'm not sure about. I don't know what it is. What causes it.
Is the blood clot okay?. It must have cleared by now
If you come for the chess puzzle, but first scroll to the end to make sure you are OK... Hopefully you find a doctor who can help you and get better soon. Respect that you still post videos in this uncertain time!
Health update way, waaaaayyyyy more important
Who cares about puzzles when the guy talking about them is ill?
Hope ur health has improved since this video
1. a7 Rh8 2.Rf2 Ra8 3.Rf5 Kh2 4.Rxa5? Kg3 5.Ke2 (5.Rxa4? Kf3 and the pawn a7 will fall) Kf4 6.Kd3 a2 7.Rxa4+ Ke5 8.Kc4 Kd6 9.Kb5 Kc7 10.Ka6 Rh8 11.Rc4+ Kd6 12.Rc1 Rg8 13.Kb6! is possible but difficult to find.
Challenging puzzle. Hope you health gets better.
Hooray. I was fearing the worst
Look at the position in minute 6:33, what happens if black plays A2 (advances the pawn while our rook is pinned)?
Nothing like watching chess videos at 5am on. School night 😢
7:39 isnt this spot still a win? Just move the King up and if they promote, you checkmate them. If they move their queen up you put the in check with the rook and move down to stop the pawn from promoting and gobble up all the pawns.
Not a medical professional but it covid is known for clotting/etc. Would be surprising to me if it wasn't related. Did they put you on alipurinol for gout to lower uric acid?
1 a7 Ra6 2 Rc6 a2 3 Rh6+ Rxh6 4 a8=Q+ (not 3 a8=Q a1=Q+ 4 Rc1+ Rxa8) and wins is a line that was left hanging
I also have uric acid problem, just carry on with lemon juice ... But not in empty stomach
At 3:53, if we capture the pawn with the rook, won’t the black rook just take the f-file and check us and just draw the game?
why don't they take the thromb out of your leg? I am not from USA so i don’t know how medical branch works there. I wish you all the best!
3:45 So how to win? After white's Kf2 Black playes Kh3 and it's a draw!
First of all, get well soon!
05:25 You said: "a2 ... and you have no way to stop this from now." Not that true, as white has a perpetual check: Rh8+ Kg2, Rg8+ Kf1, Rh8 Kg1 (a1=Q Rh1+) making a draw.
05:26. No , surely that's a draw after white keeps checking black's king?
8:47 pawn gets queen check mate in 1 rook has to block take rook with queen check mate
Prayed last week every day.
