Yeah, Levy's got the amped-up entertainment value, Nelson's got a great educational pace. (Don't get me wrong, Levy's got some great educational stuff, but the energy gets the clicks)
@@V305G Yeah, Levy is expecting you take pay for his courses if you want a real lesson. I'm not mad at it, make your money, but his videos are advertising and entertainment. I actually prefer his videos like one I saw today doing a history lesson on Nezhmetdinov, whom I admit I hadn't heard of or had forgotten about if I had. His energy works great for telling a compelling story, less so for rapidly explaining chess moves.
It's true but comparing them or trying to diminish the other isn't good for anyone. Levy just happens to hog the algorithm and got a great early start at the spotlight. Chess Vibes can keep his channel a nice safe space from the world of streamer chess.
The first brilliant move seemed pretty straightforward (don't know if I would have found it in game, but as a known puzzle, easy enough). The second one, even though you said it was coming, you said which knight it was, and there was clearly only one square that it might go to for a brilliancy, for the life of me, I still could not figure out why/find the bishop continuation. Like most slick lines, it looks so obvious in hindsight, but really is a clever tactic (forcing sac to free up the square for your new attacker). Your videos are so wildly instructive.
Nelson: there is an advanced tactic there . Me : takiing the stuck useless dark bishop that doesn’t do anything undoubeling the opponent pawn and loosing the game 🙂
I eventually got to pushing the Queen to the back rank, but I would have put it on the wrong square. My move was Qf8 instead of Qe8. He mentions why e8 reveals to be the better move. We have to try, so we can learn. 😉
It’s been a long time since I’ve played high level chess games. Most of my friends who played well have passed on. This video clip has inspired me to get up and get going down to the local senior center and or the ymca and exercise my brain on the board again.😊-Godspeed 🙏
As an amateur, you made me think differently about the game. I think this helped me to wrap my head around planning ahead and baiting the opponent. It always seemed so complicated before, but this makes so much sense.
Interesting tactics and approach against Caro Kann - thanks for sharing! And criss-crossing Bishops on diagonals is known as Boden's Mate. (I appreciate you were using Queen not Bishop on one diagonal.)
i dont know if it was brilliant but the best knight i ever had was on f5, while the black king was on h8. the black and white g pawn were gone, the h and f pawns for black were still on their starting squares. black had the rooks stacked on g8 and g7 and his queen was like on h6,or maybe h5, i remember he had to use a tempo for is queen to be on dark squares. my queen was on d4 and i was queen side castled. and the position allowed for my knight to take the rook on g7, jump back, force the second rook to block, take the second rook, move again and force the queen in front of the king. i believe i had a rook on g1 but the pin from the queen along the dark squares kept black rooks pinned on g7 and forcing the issue plus the risk of back rank mate since i had access to the open file with my rook.
Love these videos Nelson! Although I do love the love videos it’s just as exciting to hear your play by play post game!!! 🎉🎉🎉 exceptional knight you had there!
Outstanding presentation and explanation! My memory issues prevent the enjoyment of playing Chess but I've loved the "game" since my early teens. Subscribing!
I know this isn't anything ground breaking but might help whoever needs to hear it. I was told by a guy in prison I played that it's hard to pin someone down with a night and a bishop. They work best in pairs.
Very nice tactics! The only thing (and I cannot find the game unf.) was a complete beat down I was taking and my opponent was not taking pieces for some unknown reason, but they had my king running for cover constantly and somehow escaped by the skin of its teeth over and over, until finally I realized that if I could get just one pawn move in I had mate...that's what eventually happened! It was so unreal how they literally missed mate at least 25 times by not capturing and delivering benign checks by using the wrong piece! It was surreal. Unfortunately I don't have it, must have had an old account that I used and the email associated was unused and deleted by Hotmail so I cannot get it, you would have been besides yourself! Lol I think that one must have worked hard at giving me chances, probably humorously doing it or was a GM that was drunk and fooling around. Ah well, wish I had the evidence, was a hoot and delivering mate via pawn was great as always :) Thanks for the great content! 👍
The only thing that reminds me of this is one of Levy's recent games where he got 3 brilliant rook moves, 2 of which were on the same square by the same rook. It should be on his second channel for anyone interested.
man I've been seeing your videos for more than a year, always wait for the upload, MUST watch even before sleeping, give like to every single video as soon as it loads and then i saw I HAVEN'T SUBSCRIBED YOU YET, really sorry for this folk❤
What about 3 softcover books ? Breaking 1000, Breaking 1500, Breaking 2000. That would be good coffee table reading material. We may need a better table for the Breaking 2500 book 😜
Okay so I'm not calling myself a pro expert chess player and maybe this guy is thinking much farther ahead than I am, but these ideas seem like pure idiocy to me. 3:21 so in a position like this where I could either sacrifice my pawn on my Bishop I would never choose to sacrifice my Bishop over my pawn. And who cares that the bishop is blocked for one move. He's not really blocked because there's nothing in front of the pond so I can just move the pond up or I can move the the bishop back because he still has room behind him. So taking a big piece like that at the cost of nearly being inconvenienced for one move sounds like a pretty good trade to me. I really feel like I would annihilate this guy if I played him. He's stupid enough to sacrifice his big pieces when he had to sacrifice a pawn and he's just going to be left with pawns by the end of the game.
Im leaving the bishop in the middle cause if you play the kahn you should be aware of bishop traps. Let him stage his attack and break your queen out and circle her with knights
Im not a great chess player but i have definitely seen that move tons of times. Really hard to defend and win without losing a bunch of your pieces in the process.
I've never been all that great at chess, and it's been years since I played...and likely will never play again, but this is very interesting. If I do play again, I might just surprise my opponent a little more than last time...if I can remember this. There are some ideas here I hadn't run into before.
You literally can't sacrifice the same piece twice. The first instance was a sacrificial offer that was not taken. The second instance was a sacrifice.
I've literally played over 250,000 games and i retired from playing (at approx., FIDE level 2100 *on a very good day) because i got to the point where i was either winning or drawing. But i would lose DUE to knight shenanigans. Always the knight. The one piece i could never quite get a handle on. My knight moves (I'm told) were legendary but still i would always lose to a knight move than over half the times i lost. So, yeah knights!!! Those tricksy knights!
I'm not a chess expert and don't even know all the fancy move names. But the way I play I would never take a white Bishop with a night because I have value my knight higher than I do a white Bishop maybe a black Bishop but not a white one. And if my opponent were to put me in that position I would allow the night to take me and just take their knight. I don't know I think it's a very good move because it cost your night at the cost of a white Bishop, which I wouldn't consider to be an even trade. It just puts you in a better position. It doesn't even win you the game. And I would have no problem sacrificing two pawns for a knight.
Negative the King was in check on that the night being taken by the bishop was an illegal move in chess when in check you must move your king out of check
I see a mistake in your analogy on castling the rock moves to the king then the king jumps over the castle in the situation that he described you described castling wrong
3:35 was a blunder. You left two undefended pieces in line with your king. Luckily for you, Qd6 was also a blunder and black should have played Qe7, followed by NA6 Your bishop was undefended with check. B4 is a better move at 9:42 The double family fork was good though I must admit.
I call this the "Cavalry Charge" 😂. It is a beautiful trap. No matter which Knight the Queen takes, it sets up Check while threatening both the Queen and the Rook. Brilliant.
And also an explanation mistake: not taking the knight (the second time) would be ok despite the fork, as white queen is also hanging. The real unspoken reason is that king has no squares
I mean, yeah, it is pretty cool to get both of these situations in one game.... but of those who enjoy chess, how many of us DIDN'T use these two tactics before we were out of fifth grade at elementary school?
I understand why Levy’s channel is much more popular but Chess Vibes is miles better in quality and severely underrated.

9:14 that is called the criss cross apple sauce attack
Two brilliant moves in a game is rare enough, you throw in the same piece and the same square 😮
Well done!!
4 exclamation marks in the title to reference the 2 brilliant moves. Brilliant.
u said that was brilliant because of the brilliant moves in chess. Excellent
@@conee1499 brilliant*
@@conee1499Excellent is also a high level move in Chess. Perfect comment
Exclamatory Gambit!😂
🤯
Nelson: "Bishops are slightly better than knights"
The knights: *I am about to end this man whole's career"
It depends on the position, closed position knights are better, but yes Bishops are better in the endgame when most of the pieces are off the board.
You put the apostrophe ess in the wrong place and have a mismatched asterisk.
I would 100% sacrifice my bishop for your knights anytime Even “end game” lol I will take 8 points of attack over a straight line attack any day
Criss cross apple sauce 9:14
I was just about to write that lol 😂
I was also about to write this! 😂😂😂

Epic Knight plays my favorite pieces on the board always looking for new moves and that was BRILLIANT !!!😮🎉🎉🎉

That was a beautiful way to tactically defend the knight on e6! wow... i'm going to have to remember that
As an amateur, you made me think differently about the game. I think this helped me to wrap my head around planning ahead and baiting the opponent. It always seemed so complicated before, but this makes so much sense.
Awesome story! It’s so unique and iconic to have two sacrifices from the same knight on the same square.
Fabulous game Nelson , thanks for sharing it , well done !
Interesting tactics and approach against Caro Kann - thanks for sharing! And criss-crossing Bishops on diagonals is known as Boden's Mate. (I appreciate you were using Queen not Bishop on one diagonal.)
i dont know if it was brilliant but the best knight i ever had was on f5, while the black king was on h8.
the black and white g pawn were gone, the h and f pawns for black were still on their starting squares.
black had the rooks stacked on g8 and g7 and his queen was like on h6,or maybe h5, i remember he had to use a tempo for is queen to be on dark squares.
my queen was on d4 and i was queen side castled. and the position allowed for my knight to take the rook on g7, jump back, force the second rook to block, take the second rook, move again and force the queen in front of the king. i believe i had a rook on g1 but the pin from the queen along the dark squares kept black rooks pinned on g7 and forcing the issue plus the risk of back rank mate since i had access to the open file with my rook.
That knight was a true warrior. Boldly putting himself in direct line of enemy fire for the cause! Not once but twice!!
And he died while the cowardly pawns survived! There is probably some deeper meaning in that...
Yo. Love your videos keep up the good work
9:18 I believe the term is a “criss cross applesauce mate”
The best chess videos on UA-cam
I have had a double brilliant with the same rook, but not on the same square. It was on the same file if that counts for anything lol
Amazing game, thank you for sharing!
The knight can fork or threaten two pieces. It's nice when you can see it because not a lot of people will see it until the trap has sprung.
Love these videos Nelson! Although I do love the love videos it’s just as exciting to hear your play by play post game!!! 🎉🎉🎉 exceptional knight you had there!
Thanks!
Instant "Like" for your videos for getting right into the subject, no annoying intro. 👍🏻
Tell me you think you’re brilliant by saying brilliant 35 times while reviewing your own performance.
Fantastic! Thanks for sharing. Your pace and explanation are a tremendous help.
Dual pieces toward the center are often lethal for the other side. The combinations of traps often lead them to their own demise.
Outstanding presentation and explanation!
My memory issues prevent the enjoyment of playing Chess but I've loved the "game" since my early teens.
Subscribing!
Thank you Nelson, I love chess thanks to your teaching
If we need a proof of the beauty of chess, here we have it.
That was actually very cool, and your descriptions are precise and clear. I learned alot from that. Thank you!
I’ve never sat through an explanation of chess EVER!! Great video
Wow. Two forking knights, one flanking queen, and a checkmate on chess vibes TV.
That bishop trap works with my fake crab setup
I know this isn't anything ground breaking but might help whoever needs to hear it. I was told by a guy in prison I played that it's hard to pin someone down with a night and a bishop. They work best in pairs.
Nelson makes 2 brilliant moves with the knights!
Gotham chess: *laughs in 3 brilliant moves with THE ROOOOOOOOK!*
Video?
Better than any world championship game ive seen so far
The dark sqaured bishop stole the knight's glory.
The moral of the story, as Black watch out for White's Queen Knight landing on d5.
Knights have arguably won me more games then any other piece.
Nowadays, knights can be hms agents.
Very nice tactics!

That might have been a game where he sacrificed THE ROOOOOOK ... by moving to an empty square.
It's fun to just see your genuine excitement about the move.
man I've been seeing your videos for more than a year, always wait for the upload, MUST watch even before sleeping, give like to every single video as soon as it loads and then i saw I HAVEN'T SUBSCRIBED YOU YET, really sorry for this folk❤
That was a beautiful sequence Nelson. Absolutely crazy tactic!!
4:16 I KNEW IT
Nice, thanks for sharing.
The first brilliant move is knight to B5 ,to fork the queen,rook and the king
its very similar to a position that arises in the Goring Gambit with the 2 knights, and queen fork at c7
so, You didn't know a knight could move to a space it previously occupied? Every piece can do that except the pawns.
Knights are very very useful for putting someone in an annoying fork.
Absolutely golden. Well done. Still a worthy opponent Thay made u work for it
My favorite piece. You can attack pieces that can't attack you.
Excellent video presentation.Thanks for sharing,and KEEP LEARNING!
I hope you can also share the games you lost and the lessons from those
Still waiting for t-shirts that say “Get forked!!”…
That's an excellent idea 😇
Fork you.
What about 3 softcover books ? Breaking 1000, Breaking 1500, Breaking 2000. That would be good coffee table reading material. We may need a better table for the Breaking 2500 book 😜
Or "I will fork you up!" :)
more like "EXCEPTIONAL FORK"
He should have went Queen B6 and threatened your Pawn instead of trying to continue to protect that Bishop
I was ready for AI to turn the night into a queen.
Working on the Knight moves - Bob Seger.
Very cool, great explanation and presentation.

Im not a great chess player but i have definitely seen that move tons of times. Really hard to defend and win without losing a bunch of your pieces in the process.
I was wondering what the other lines looked like. Instead of Kc7, Qd8 seemed like the most testing.
That Bf4+ is the real brilliancy. Not an easy geometric configuration to see.
I've never been all that great at chess, and it's been years since I played...and likely will never play again, but this is very interesting. If I do play again, I might just surprise my opponent a little more than last time...if I can remember this. There are some ideas here I hadn't run into before.
damn that was actually crazy rare and crazy great moves. well done for finding those!
Wow, i would have missed most of those. He’s a great teacher as well as player
You literally can't sacrifice the same piece twice. The first instance was a sacrificial offer that was not taken. The second instance was a sacrifice.
This looks so much like the pawns' attack in a jobava-london game
I meant to say knight, not rook.
Exceptional Fork setup in the first game several times.
I've literally played over 250,000 games and i retired from playing (at approx., FIDE level 2100 *on a very good day) because i got to the point where i was either winning or drawing.
But i would lose DUE to knight shenanigans.
Always the knight. The one piece i could never quite get a handle on.
My knight moves (I'm told) were legendary but still i would always lose to a knight move than over half the times i lost.

Thanks for sharing Nelson ❤❤
Negative the King was in check on that the night being taken by the bishop was an illegal move in chess when in check you must move your king out of check
I honestly think knights are underrated.
I see a mistake in your analogy on castling the rock moves to the king then the king jumps over the castle in the situation that he described you described castling wrong
Your White pawn only moved once. He can attack sideways once.
The fork capture how long you play chess
You could have won earlier if you moved your Queen to A4. Their King couldn't move to either side and would have been checkmated by the Queen.
Knights like this imma fight like this
Sir William Marshal shows up on the chessboard. Good stuff!
Wonderful moves Nelsi.
3:35 was a blunder. You left two undefended pieces in line with your king.
Luckily for you, Qd6 was also a blunder and black should have played Qe7, followed by NA6
Your bishop was undefended with check.
B4 is a better move at 9:42
The double family fork was good though I must admit.
I call this the "Cavalry Charge" 😂. It is a beautiful trap. No matter which Knight the Queen takes, it sets up Check while threatening both the Queen and the Rook. Brilliant.
4:30 this is a cool move but what if someone saw it was coming and moved their night to stop it. Then all your fancy maneuvering would not work
Instead of K A6 to prevent the fork, why not Q G3 check?
I'm confused on why black couldn't castle. The resulting position doesn't end in a check. Anyone?
Quick question… It looks like move 13. White knight takes E6, why can’t black play Queen E7?
Oh...if he took one of those knights...he would have been well and truly forked.
Where is the big reveal of what a Knight can do? Forks?
You had checkmate when your queen came out you could have gone a4 instead then catch the black pawn when it goes to b5 with queen
Well congrats, but I don't believe it a bit. Isn't Bd8 a much safer answer to Qe8+?
And also an explanation mistake: not taking the knight (the second time) would be ok despite the fork, as white queen is also hanging. The real unspoken reason is that king has no squares
@@МихаилСвятловский I guess Nelson didn't catch that. (I did, though.)
The analysis gives White +6 after ... Qd8 and +8 after ... Bd8 (and +11 after ... Kc7).
I mean, yeah, it is pretty cool to get both of these situations in one game.... but of those who enjoy chess, how many of us DIDN'T use these two tactics before we were out of fifth grade at elementary school?
