This episode really opened my eyes to one of my biggest flaws. Focusing too much on gaining pieces instead of looking for a stronger move potentially leading to checkmate. Love all your videos Nelson but this one been the most impactful. Great stuff, man!
Same here. My reasoning is always “my opponent has less now so it will be easier to win”. But winning would be nice too. :). Several examples here to help us out of that tendency.
The way you went for the checkmate and positional stuff in n the English (sort of) game was one of the most instructive things I have ever seen. Such a good example of the principle of “when you have a good move look for better”. I get so much from your videos but that game in particular has taught me a lot about patience. 🙌
I know that it was easy for Nelson to beat 700-900 rated players, however, I had a great and fun experience during ALL(!) games, despite my high rating (about 2200 in Rapid), because of the way he won the games.
That struck me as the obvious move in the position and I would have played it instantly because the white knight is so poorly placed. Edit: Stockfish rates e4 nearly a point higher than Bxf5.
There's a major trap that wins the queen in certain lines if he would have played pawn E4. If he's gonna teach this stuff he should do his homework first.
Is there a name for putting someone in check mate, while also having the queen and a rook in check too? It’s probably the one ending that can put a smile on my face.
I don’t know if you look at the comments for opening requests, but I have always wanted to see you play the Alien Gambit. 1. e4 c6 2. d4 d5 3. Nbd2 dxe4 4. Nxe4 Nf6 5. Ng5 h6 6. Nxf7 Kxf7. Stockfish refutes this opening but it is super tricky and works well into the 2000+ rapid range.
You can also think of game 1 as the Latvian counter gambit. 3.Bc4 is the Keres variation, and one of the ways of meeting it is 3….Nc6, which transposes.
I've played the Rousseau Gambit as my main e4 response for several years. It's also great fun when it transposes into the Luccini Gambit if they decline with d3. The Luccini has some mind-blowing lines with multiple piece sacks.
@@ChessEntertain that's the best line if declining. Although accepting the gambit and playing Nd4 (gambiting the knight) opens some crushing attacks for white.
@@ChessEntertain AFAIK, black can retain near-equality if they take the offered knight, but that requires a long sequence of perfect moves in complex positions. As black, I just wouldn't take the offered knight, developing Nf6 to instead defend the check.
Stockfish is weird. I moved a knight from getting captured from a bishop and it gave me a "brilliant" because what I did would capture a queen. I reviewed what moves would capture the queen and it was like 10 moves in a certain sequence. In my next move I was trapped again. I had no way to save the knight, so I just captured a pawn before I lost the knight. It gave me another "brilliant'. Those were the only two brilliants I have ever gotten and they were in the same game 2 moves apart. I thought for sure my account would be closed for cheating or something.
Multiple times stockfish has wanted me to sacrifice a peice. "This a mistake because you should have captured this pawn." The protected pawn!? I mean, if there are some good obvious follow-ups to the sacrifice, but I just didnt see it even when looking at stock fish's follow up moves. It kind just looks like I'd get a pawn for my knight without any other significant advantages. Three times it's told me to do this. It's really confusing.
In Halloween gambit, at 16:00, there was a threat ...Kxe5, it's shredding everything (if we take with pawn, we lose bishop and it's actually fork for queen and bishop, and it defends everything), so Qf3 was a mistake actually, it's losing on the spot
Run the engine, it says answer to that was Qe3, pinning the knight, and we fine (0.10 advantage), not Qe2, because we lose a pawn and it's -3 or -4... Computer is hilarious, it's just impossible to understand
@@alexfrozen8987 why to you think this is "impossible to understand"? This is pretty normal and findable, including the Qe3, which is crystal clear much superior than Qe2.
@@lucasmatsuoca I don't know why, but at my mmr~1500 it's common to not properly move Queens.. or pawns. It's either pawn or queen blunder, no middle most of the time. And queen have pretty wide range. But even in GM's matches, queen endgame or positions where only queen have normal moves, it's not rare to see a blunder from GM. So, queens hard to master, basically
Thanks for using my idea on the Halloween Gambit, you executed it very well too! You should use the O’Kelly Sicilian at some point since you dedicated a whole video to it.
Also, whenever you play the Rousseau Gambit and they accept, you should play E4, force the knight to move back to G1, then you can either play D5 or BxF5 and youll win unless you mess something up.
Another suggestion with the Halloween Gambit as well. When you play D4, if they want to keep their extra knight, they can retreat their knight to C6 or G6. But if they go to C6, i recommend D5 instead of E5, even though both are good moves.
Nice explanations, but you missed the key idea in the Rousseau Gambit, which is playing e4 after white accepts the Gambit, since the knight has no other squares than to retreat to its starting square, which prevents white from castling. Etc, etc….
Well as a player who has hundreds of rouseau gambits played I know the point but actually you can move knight d4 because when you take it Qh5 will kill you
the Center Game &.the English Opening part have beautiful checkmates done by Nelson! great tactics too! @48:09 black never got the chance to capture the white's knight thats been sitting on h8 to win a material back!
Bought your 1500 course. I’m 1400 and I truly believe that there are a lot of important lessons. I am surprised how I reached almost 1400 not knowing so many stuff and different tactical ideas. Now I’m taking my time to look for some of them during the games and I believe that now I’ve got more confident. Before, every game was like a mental war after which I felt always exhausted for other games 😂, looking for don’t know what and don’t know where but sometimes it was working 😂 now I know what to find and how. Thank you. I believe you put a lot of effort in your work and I like how it’s all settled there!
I had the same position at 49:30 and when I saw it I heard you saying just what you said. I played it and it was a “great move”. So you are helping a whole lot of people to get better. Wish I could have bought your course though.
Halloween gambit is almost playable on every level. Maxim Vachier-Lagrave commented that it'll be powerful in blitz It's hilarious that in the fried liver attempt, the knight which is supposed to be a goner ends up being a key piece in the last blow The final takeaway is like the famous quote from Lasker:"When You See A Good Move, Look For A Better One."
I rarely sub to anyone. Hell i rarely if ever hit the like button, but the way you think out loud is EXACTLY what i need to better my game. Subbed. My main problem is not noticing a hung piece right before i make the move, and i have trouble seeing combos that lead to mate. And im slow. 0 confidence in any game less than 20m per side. Im willing to bet your videos can help in all those categories. Just the phrase "blunder check" was like an Air Raid Siren i hope to hear on every turn going forward. 1 video i watched was the "344000 players fall for this". Great info and memory surfaces listening to you strategize out loud. And i just watched the one where you tried multiple openings, using the "Owen's Defense" twice near the end. I wonder what your real rating is Anyways...you'll see more of me i bet 😊
I NEVER leave comments on anything. Not worth my time or energy. But Goddamm*t, You're a BEAST. I enjoy watching your vidz man... Keep doing what you do.
Місяць тому
You are awesome. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and strategies and teaching us!
At 15:24 what would you play if Black responded by playing Nxe5? The Knight is defending the pawn on f7 so you can't mate in 2. You can take the Knight with your pawn dxe5, but Black can counter by taking the bishop Qxc5. Now you're a pawn down and Black's queen is preventing White from castling. If you don't take the knight and decide to move your White queen to safety then black just takes your bishop Nxc5. You can't attack the Black queen with g3 , coz Black will take the white queen with their Knight and it's check! I feel Nelson got away here with Qf3. A higher rated player may have seen that.
One of the things that I have learned watching this is to slow down. Better players take some time while the 400-500 players get checked in 16 moves with 9:35 left on their clock.
Love this type of content! Not sure if you’ve done one, but could you do a game with the Vienna gambit? The Caro-Kann defense would also be great to see!
(@6:25) instead of 1 … gxh3, what about 1 … Ng5!? Now white has pressure on the bishop, but also on the e4 pawn which now has only two defenders and three attackers. The idea is that white will sack the knight on g5 for the e4 pawn to rip open the center before black can castle. Plus, once the knight on f6 is traded off or moves elsewhere, the d5 pawn is now hanging and white can bring in the bishop as well.
In the game played around 30 minutes in, when he looked at B takes Rook, doesn't it follow by Q takes B but then fork by knight at c7 forking K & Q ? ( time 34.34)
Yooo in the “playing against Dutch defence game” black had a really good move instead of taking your rook which was knight takes C2 which would fork the rooks and allow black to take but if white takes with queen then it’s mate in one considering queen takes rook e1. So yeah that’s crazy
Is there somewhere you can leave suggestions for which openings to play or do you get them from the UA-cam comments? If so it would be awesome to maybe see a game of the Caro kann,Dutch defense or Vienna game/gambit. Love the videos/streams man.
You did move the wrong pawn. I've played the Halloween a lot. The NC6 retreat is actually suboptimal and when facing this always retreat NG6. But you will see shown black position a lot. If you had done it right you would have had a three pawn center with decent defense of the pawns However I hadn't considered that checkmate idea as I don't usually play that line. But yes, Halloween can scare your opponent to death, or at least to mate. Maybe I'll remember that. Meanwhile I'm working through your 1500 course so have been exploring the Stonewall which is more versatile as there's always a fair chance they'll not play 4 knights.
I'm about the same level as mur0, After your knight d5 I would have given you check with my rook and then moved the knight to f3 to defend the mate and attack the queen. I think you would be quite in trouble after that because I can gain a few tempos from all the threats that white has going.
I’m not a fan of D5 at the time u played it because of what you mentioned. If he pins the knight, that makes the situation a lot trickier. I usually play e4, followed by kf6, then d5.
This is so weird; I am not a good chess player. If I had played competitively, I would have been a 1000 ELO, but I don't remember any game in the last 40 years that I would have played to checkmate. Normally, someone gives up when things get awful. It looks like in these games, checkmate comes as a surprise for the opponents.
You missed that you could have taken the Rook in the corner with the bishop. If they took back with the queen the knight moves in for check with a fork to the queen.
Yes I saw that - he should have recommended that I think - he went for a much more complex bring everything out for an impressive mate but I don’t think I’m anywhere good enough to do that consistently accurately without messing it up. - the rook for free or getting the queen too if he takes the bishop is a no brainier when my elo is less than half his 😅
@@Artifactorfictionalthough true that taking a rook is just a win, you want to try to make your conversion as easy as possible. If you can calcuate the lines and figure out which one ends in a position that you can most easily win, you might ultimately get an easier time checkmating the opponent.
Watching live (29/07/24). Time : 19;08. 8nds in.Already know. Sometimes? Who. What. Where? Could i? Who cares prove what to who? Sometimes the only thing you need to prove? Ask me later? Or work it out.
In last game vs Gennady fradun you chose to push pawn to D6 to force black to take the pawn and block view from their bishop protecting the knight. You took the free knight. Could you run into trouble if they push that black pawn which opens an attack on your queen, at the same time attacking your bishop.
Yeah he later said stockfish says the pawn move is better, and idk if that's bc 1) there's some crazy stockfish checkmate line that supercedes a queen + rook for bishop trade 2) there's some killer alternative move for white instead of recapturing the bishop
15:35 what happens if they take the e5 pawn with knight here? it defends the checkmate and if you take the knight with pawn your bishop gets discovered attacked.
Chess vibe, I hope that as the rating climb goes on, you can still explain as well as you do now. if you can't explain everything during a game, don't mind to spend A LOT of time after the game to explain your every decision❤❤❤ I saw one of your previous speedruns when you were 2100+ elo and you didn't explain many details, and I am worried same thing will happen in this speedrun you spent time thinking silently during the game, but you didn't explain much after the game
Hey Nelson, I really like your videos. Although my level is not too far from yours (I'm 2000), I still got to learn from you by watching your videos and my level has increased. I'll send you a friend request. If you'd like to play me some time, or when you're at 2000 at your rating climb, that would me nice. I'm probably not the only one who asked you for a match so if you don't answer I will totally get that, but who knows !
Could you please clarify - when reviewing first game stockfish shows inaccuracies which you call "good moves" - do you see different things that are on the video? Or do you sometimes call inaccuracies good moves? I mean, from my undersanding, this is exactly why stockfish gives low accuracy for the game. 11:05 - d5 is a good move. I feel like moves that are generally fine/good will be considered inaccuracies in particular openings where there are other key ideas.
This episode really opened my eyes to one of my biggest flaws. Focusing too much on gaining pieces instead of looking for a stronger move potentially leading to checkmate. Love all your videos Nelson but this one been the most impactful. Great stuff, man!
Missing a checkmate because I immediately just take the free piece is definitely a trap I fall into a lot. This video was super instructive for that!

1:00:22 black to move, pawn d5. tempo on the queen with the bishop whilst attacking whites bishop
That's just a trade, although in that line black can mess up white's pawn structure and black might have time to get their pieces into the game.

the best thing about the halloween gambit is that you can transition into it from the petrov OR the vienna... its very valuable to learn
in the Vienna you don't even have to sacrifice the knight to get that position 😂
Complete noob here and have been struggling alot with turning a strong position into checkmate so this video was helpful

@@Artifactorfictionalthough true that taking a rook is just a win, you want to try to make your conversion as easy as possible. If you can calcuate the lines and figure out which one ends in a position that you can most easily win, you might ultimately get an easier time checkmating the opponent.
Alas you also missed the chance to explain an important opening principle by presenting 4.d4! This refutes the Rousseau Gambit.
yes, a new rating climb from one of my favourite creators
Watching live (29/07/24). Time : 19;08. 8nds in.Already know. Sometimes? Who. What. Where? Could i? Who cares prove what to who? Sometimes the only thing you need to prove? Ask me later? Or work it out.
In last game vs Gennady fradun you chose to push pawn to D6 to force black to take the pawn and block view from their bishop protecting the knight. You took the free knight. Could you run into trouble if they push that black pawn which opens an attack on your queen, at the same time attacking your bishop.
Love your content.
Isn't the knight on f3 at 3:10 trapped if you advance the e pawn on it? where can it go?
yeah i would have never seen that last bishop checkmate as an attacker or defender.
35:00 you could take the rook and they can't recalture because of the fork
You missed an epic opportunity at 35:44. Instead of pushing D5, Bishop takes rook, queen takes bishop, knight hops in for the royal fork.
Yeah he later said stockfish says the pawn move is better, and idk if that's bc
1) there's some crazy stockfish checkmate line that supercedes a queen + rook for bishop trade
2) there's some killer alternative move for white instead of recapturing the bishop
Wow you are up to 518k subs! I remember when you were just a wee lil baby at 60k.
38:40 - should take the rook, because cant take back because you can fork the queen
At 15:54... I know he was only 789, but I was SOOO hoping Nxe5, so I could see your reaction 🙂
Nelson, gracias por ayudarnos a pensar!
great content, Nelsi :)
Why is this guy playing against 700s-800s. This is hopefully subscribers and not just a Smurf video that would not be fair play
Great video!
Nelson, can you take another go at the Czech Pirc Defence please? That's the version when your third move instead of g6 is c6 looking for Qa5.
15:35 what happens if they take the e5 pawn with knight here? it defends the checkmate and if you take the knight with pawn your bishop gets discovered attacked.
im too lighthearted😅, the halloween gambit is too scary for me too play it in an actual game.
98! Damn, dude! Nice!
Another comment until Nelson lets us send him a hoodie 😂
Thank you Nelson
lol just doing this gambit chapter of my new e4 rep im making....Perfect timing
Looking forward to english opening in white, caro kann in black
ChessVibes in 0:55 the main move is e4 tempting the knight not d5.
Chess vibe, I hope that as the rating climb goes on, you can still explain as well as you do now. if you can't explain everything during a game, don't mind to spend A LOT of time after the game to explain your every decision❤❤❤
I saw one of your previous speedruns when you were 2100+ elo and you didn't explain many details, and I am worried same thing will happen in this speedrun
you spent time thinking silently during the game, but you didn't explain much after the game
My main opening Halloween gambit played wrong in 6 moves
Hey Nelson, I really like your videos. Although my level is not too far from yours (I'm 2000), I still got to learn from you by watching your videos and my level has increased. I'll send you a friend request. If you'd like to play me some time, or when you're at 2000 at your rating climb, that would me nice. I'm probably not the only one who asked you for a match so if you don't answer I will totally get that, but who knows !
"That's interesting" is not not what you want to hear at a job interview
Could you please clarify - when reviewing first game stockfish shows inaccuracies which you call "good moves" - do you see different things that are on the video? Or do you sometimes call inaccuracies good moves? I mean, from my undersanding, this is exactly why stockfish gives low accuracy for the game.
11:05 - d5 is a good move.
I feel like moves that are generally fine/good will be considered inaccuracies in particular openings where there are other key ideas.
same think. Isnt the star green symbol the best move? and im not sure on thumbs up and checkmark icons
this is great stuff
16:00 what happen if he do Nxe5 he took protects and if you take he takes your bishop with his queen.
