    I love following your thought process when evaluating different moves. I've been watching your videos for a few months now and my puzzle ratings have gone up from 1300 to at one point 1800, to 1712 today. I'm only 1000-1100 rapid though. I struggle to apply the same quality of evaluation in game as in puzzles. At least in game I follow the checks, captures, attacks checklist, but I can't seem to quickly find the best move yet.

    At 18:14 you said QxB2 is a move but that will result in a checkmate if you go QxF7 with check. King has to move and you get checkmate by taking the rook at QxE8. Happily correct me if I see it wrong, I'm a beginner

      No it don’t work with op Q on f6 and king on f8 or g8, it’s defended sufficiently: QxF7, QxF7, bxF7 and KxF7………. White gave back two pieces, and Nelson said he wanted to keep his pieces.
      Which is why this doesn’t work. I looked at it myself, too, and found it not worthy of exchange/trades. Despite it not working, he still played with 83.4 accuracy.

      Nelson said that the opponent could move to QxB2 trying to get the rock. And that's when my mentioned checkmate above from white can come in. But only if black makes this mistake and lets this pawn undefended by making that move QxB2.

    In the last game, instead of directly capturing the black bishop Kxf2 you could have played Bg5! forcing Qe8+ and THEN Kxf2, threatening both Re1 and Be7, denying black any counter-play whatsoever. (It seemed like you also missed this in your after-game analysis even though the engine actually suggested it.)
    It has been a very enjoyable series so far, and quite educational to hear your motivations for your moves and pointing out the mistakes of your opponents!

      A situation where you are having both your bishops while your opponent instead have two other minor pieces is generally considered an advantage for you, especially in open positions where the long range of the bishops can be put to good use, since the two bishops complement each other to cover and make threats on both black an white squares. The other side will often have weaknesses on squares of the color of the missing bishop.
