Sometimes I actually feel bad liking AverageJoe because Peter-Patzer may get jealous...after watching his climb three times I developed kind of a friendship to him 😅
I've really enjoyed playing the Cozio Defense in my games. I'm right at the Elo level of your current opponents, and had good luck with it. I have less luck using the Polish Defence, though.
35:16 that's an common continuation in Stafford. This game was transposed to Stafford would have been easier if you have watched Stafford gambit videos
@@JustRightPinedo I don't have, but you can watch Eric rosen's they're pretty good! (Also I was not trying to be mean to Nelson, in fact he's the one who made me go from 500 to 1600. So why would I insult him)
It took me a while to find the move when he said to pause the video, but i’m glad I did, it was so satisfying! now if only i could find moves like that in my own games!
Hi Nelson I love your series and I just wanted to tell you that even though he didn’t have the queen you had the the 2 knights checkmate you could’ve just taken the rook and when he takes back nf7 is still checkmate
What I've just started to do is find Nelson's account and play out each move in the explorer tab to see how good some of the moves are. This also lets me play out some scenarios where I think certain moves would be better.
Man love your page. I'm around a 1200 player and know it's not great but took a lot to get here. I always hope I see AverageJoe as my opponent but never do. Maybe one day though. Be interested to hear commentary thoughts on my play. Keep up great work
So I had a thought that I’ve wanted to share. You are completely right about players rated around 1000. I really feel your loss was due to Rice. I am mentioning it now because it has bugged me ever since I watched that video. Finally I just wanted to say that I love your videos. I’ve really benefited from watching how you think and analyze the board. Thank you!!
Thank you for the series, it's definetly helping my game watching your videos. I would like to see diferent gambits (more "respectful" ones) like budapest, portuguese, benko from black perspective and smith-morra, danish or Evans from white. Keep going with the good work 👍
I am a solid blundering 1000 rated player. And it seems the similarly rated ppl I am playing against don't make the same mistakes as are often show here against you, Nelson. They play like grandmasters and inevitably I end up blundering something and then I lose against them. I do love your content though. You are a regular watch for me whenever you post anything. Keep it up, I am learning much from you.
One reason they blunder more with Nelson is because he causes them lots of problems. He makes things complicated, rarely miscalculates anything, and is very accurate! He plays the moves that causes them to blunder basically. 😊
Yeah. I play a high accuracy rating at around 800, but it's because I'm playing vs similar 800s and we don't have tactics like Nelson does to create very complicated situations.
I want to watch the AverageJoe rating climb in order. I am finding it frustrating to find the next one each time on UA-cam. Peter Patzer rating climb had a play list which I finally found. I thoroughly enjoyed it! It made it really easy. Could you let me know how to find the next sequential video?
i have been watching his series through the playlist. go to his channel, navigate to the playlists tab and look for a playlist called "Beginner To Master Chess Rating Climb (2024)", it should be near the top of the page still. hope that helps.
someone did a jobava london on me, first time i've seen it through the whole fried liver effect and the queen sacrifice / knight double fork and it was wild. i don't know how i came back and won but now i'm a big fan. would be interested in seeing how you would play that as white or defend as black without moving that rook pawn cause it's actually quite a mess if you don't know what's happening or you let it happen
30:30 white almost have pawn e7 here. If the king was not defending the rook, this would be very scary, but I guess that would also be just simple back rank checkmate
Stalemates really confuse me for some reason…like it’s super hard for me to spot a stalemate which is weird because they should be simple to see and understand. So at the end of the first game you said it would be stalemate if they didn’t have the option to move their other pawns…how would it be stale mate? You are checking the king and the king couldn’t take or move. Shouldn’t that be checkmate even if the pawns were stuck?
8:15 what if instead of moving his black rook there, he moved his d pawn up one. Traded pawns and ate his pawn with check and then brought light squared pawn to skewer White's queen and rook? 😊
Good idea, but black doesn’t have to capture your pawn (if you take, that pawn can be easily captured later). Also, black doesn’t have to move his king when checked with the queen, and thus can avoid the skewer. He could block with queen, the you just get a queen trade.
amount of cheaters encountered. it is a reference to his previous rating climb where a cheating opponent's friend defended them by saying the cheater was cooking rice, thus making their time usage seem odd. it being such a strange claim turned it into a bit of an inside joke on this channel.
Me at 47:50: “But after rook takes G5 it will be lined up with the bishop and the pawn and it will be hard to defend both” Nelson: “ooo if they take this knight, guys…” Me: “he sees it now” Nelson: “it’s checkmate in two” Me: oh… 😂
51:51 my retired English teacher mother would love you for this restatement. Or should I say, she would love that restatement of yours. And love you, too. Why not
@@vasi0011In the previous rapid rating climb, Nelson played a cheater who took 5 to 8 seconds between obvious moves. Nelson lost the game and reported the cheater and he got banned. He then sent an email to Nelson explaining that the reason he took suspiciously consistent time between moves was he was using a rice cooker. And thus, the "rice cooker gambit" was invented. 😂

@@James--Parker Not from this episode, but watch them all from the beginning. As someone who's made the climb to 1500 myself VERY slowly, it's easy to spot the outliers.
Here's an idea ... livestream a game against Stockfish in which you take suggestions from your viewers ... see if all of us together can beat Stockfish?
Hey man, I’m thinking of quitting chess. I had a 2 month break and lost over 100 ELO today. It’s so annoying since i was already 100 below what I deserve to be, and what I was before I had to take a break due to exams. It looks like it’s over, I have no idea how I’m going to recover since I have no help, so yeah. I’m probably going to quit unless a miracle happens or smth
Was stuck on 600-700 elo for a few months now, ever since i got to watch your series i broke through 1000 for the first time. Best teacher no doubt.
Yes, he takes the time to consider all options even the bad options that he wouldn’t play and speaks what is running through his mind ✌️👍
If you've got time you should also check out naroditsky's speed runs. They will help you a lot as well. Congrats on crossing the 1000 mark♥️
Same problem

Thanks!
Thank you!
@@ChessVibesOfficial thank you for the instructive, entertaining channel. Keep up the good work.
That second game was wild. One of the most entertaining games I've seen
Holy sh*t! The Kozio defense??? I had to look that one up! Thanks bro that was a real new one! Much appreciated!
“As long as you don’t blinder something” oh the salt! 😂
I blundered a perpetual OTB tonight by not simplifying fast enough. Wish I had seen this stream first!
Most games are just about winning literally one pawn and then trading down lol
I've really enjoyed playing the Cozio Defense in my games. I'm right at the Elo level of your current opponents, and had good luck with it. I have less luck using the Polish Defence, though.
The line with bishop taking knight early in the first game looks interesting for white as there is one less defender near the king.
Another instructive video ! Many thanks , things starting to slowly sink in !!
Love this series, learned so much! Thank you
Now I need a new plan for my Monday morning

@JustRightPinedo the only thing you need is to learn how to beat it. Why would you learn a bad opening?
You forgot the aura stat brother 🐐
35:53 stockfish just casually moving the king to the side to protect the knight by enabling Q pinned to K is brilliant
can hardly believe it but i've watched several of these and all of a sudden i'm winning every game i play. thanks!
Cool deflection on Game #87. I will try to add that to my mating pattern library!
What a cool and awesome video love your videos mate.
Your videos are great should have subbed a long time ago keep it up
@48:21 and Nelson sacrificed THE ROOOOOOOOOK! ‼️‼️ that was brilliant tactic by Nelson!
It took me a while to find the move when he said to pause the video, but i’m glad I did, it was so satisfying! now if only i could find moves like that in my own games!
Love your content Nelson!
Stockfishes destruction of black at 50 minutes is incredible targeting the enemy rook with Queen and Bishop.
Hi Nelson I love your series and I just wanted to tell you that even though he didn’t have the queen you had the the 2 knights checkmate you could’ve just taken the rook and when he takes back nf7 is still checkmate

Why does this feel like a reupload? Got some deja vu going. Woah!
Your feelings must be delusional?
Ditto
I would like to see carokan defense and queens gambit in the next video ❤❤
"That's a stockfish move if ever I've seen one."
Nelson, can you play the Latvian gambit at some point please?
Please play the old Benoni. It is my favourite opening and I am consistently 1500 in blitz and 1800 in rapid minimum. I like playing 1. d4 c5 2. d5 e5
I would also be interested in Modern Benoni repertoire as I am much more familiar in forced openings like Jobava London and old Benoni
Game 2 was my fav game in the series lol
Poor 1000 doesn't know the Jobava theory for BF5... we missed out on seeing the Pawn Storm!
30:30 white almost have pawn e7 here. If the king was not defending the rook, this would be very scary, but I guess that would also be just simple back rank checkmate
Play the traxler!
bro what time do you play i wanna play with you, i am 900 i want you to dismantle me and tell me how you did it

Greetings from Germany
"Don't Panic." And dont forget to bring your towel.
What if I’m the one doing the opening traps then my enemies will not fall for it😭
Nelson calculates so fast and so accurate. Imagine what’s going through his brain that he can’t get out in words, I’m sure a ton!
hey can you have the "next video" slides not cover on going games? long term fan
11:53 if you played f4 you trapped the rook isnt it??
Me at 47:50: “But after rook takes G5 it will be lined up with the bishop and the pawn and it will be hard to defend both”
Nelson: “ooo if they take this knight, guys…”
Me: “he sees it now”
Nelson: “it’s checkmate in two”
Me: oh… 😂
Im 1300s now in rapid so once you get near my ELO I’m gonna play daily and hope to run into you :)
Whats rice mean?
Number of people cooking rice while they play!
If I hear Nelson suggesting that his queen will start to eat those 3 pawns one more time..!!!
im kidding i love you nelson, great video as always

Suspected or proven cheating.

That would be cool if you did a list like top ten times celebrities got humiliated in the bathroom gone wrong.
4:42 Pawn G6 then Queen G5 then bishop H3 then checkmate.
Do you hate the caro kahn from blacks' perspective?
I think of the caro as an "anti e4" it forces a more positional game on opponents who like to play aggressively. Nelson likes to play aggressively 😊
In the last game (Jobava London) your opponent didn't capitalise on Bf5, but you definitely shouldn't play that move against this opening :)
