7:30 white only lost a knight, if white finds Ne5 counter attack on the queen. 9:35 Qh4 keep an eye on that h7 pawn and prepare to play bishop g5 and trade the knight off. even if black plays h6, just sac the dark square bishop and bring the knight to g4 13:30 white don't want black to trade the bishop for the knight right? because after exd5, Qh6. nvm I can't find what going on 15:40 sac the queen and play Bh7# 16:10 dxc4 is the best move. apparently black can sac their queen and it is still +2.3 for white but its the best move 19:50 Qh6?
I'll have to watch this a few more times - got my head spinning on first watch 😵💫 , many thanks for this though ! Looking forward to all the lessons around mid July , definitely need it 😊
@@awang_ir thank you ! Yes definitely many congratulations to Nelson , he’s an excellent teacher & so “ human “ , one thing I really appreciate about him . Saw now 502k subscribers !!
Great lessons here. Thanks Nelson! I saw that book at a Goodwill a couple days ago and passed on it for some reason…I am going back today to pick it up! Hopefully it is still there.
@ 21:15 I looked at both Ne6 and Re6, but was surprised to see Re6 was better. I thought Ne6, fxe6, Bxg6 looked good. Checkmate is still defended but I thought there might be a way using the rook on e1. What is the line Ne6 would initiate? Is it still a decent idea, or is it a mistake?
(@22:52) Hi Nelson. Instead of 1 Re6!! What about 1 Re3 instead? Now white is threatening 2 Rh3 followed by a mate on h8, and if 1 … dxe3, 2 fxe3, white now has a half-open f-file and his other rook can come into the game at f1, threatening to exchange the powerful knight defender for the rook.
After your line the bishop on d3 hangs and white wont be able to sack the rook without getting mated on the back rank after Qxe3+ (after Rf1), so white is completely lost unless stockfish finds a defensive brilliancy for white. Edited for clarity
@@bc_7644 Also black can sacrifice the queen for the rook on f1 and would have 2 rooks and bishop for the queen and White's attack ends and Black wins!
At 7:23 You forgot to mention that White does not lose the whole queen but rather a piece after Ne5 Rxb7 (Or she runs away to f3.) Nxd7 Nxd7 which wins for black. Also, at 10:20 instead of b6, what is wrong with Qd5 to try to trade queens by Qh5? Also, at 28:06 White loses the a2 pawn as well in this position. And from our view, losing two pawns like this is not OK as White without any ways to get them back. Also, Black can still play f5 and f4 and can still do the same plan of launching the attack which means that Black is better, right?
At 9:09 would h6 be a good move or just create an unnecessary weakness on h7, that white can exploit with some tactic my novice eyes don't see? My reasoning behing the move is of course for encouraging white to take the knight on f6, so on the next move you can recpature with your less active knight like you already said and it prevents any piece from coming to the pretty crucial g5 square. No pins from the bishop or neither of the knights can jump there.
Hi Nelson! First things first, I've got to say your channel is brilliant. I find it to be the most instructive among the many that are there. Very clear and spot on. I'm actually following the book Logical Chess, and I believe it's a great great book. I'm learning so much from it. Still, it's clear to me how a master like you is able to really get the most out of a book like this. I mean, I get everything but on a surface level, I guess. It's so powerful to follow the book, and at the same time follow you as you go through it. I was wondering if you could add the number of the game you're covering in the title of the video, so it'd be easier for who is reading the book to catch up. Thanks for your great help I'm learning so much. What a game this was, by the way! Cheers from Italy
It’s not massively relevant to chess, but in the book the author commented on how Philidor says in Chess Analysed in 1791 that- and then goes on to talk about how Philidor’s spelling wasn’t right. He was saying this because he would write using a medial s. For those interested, a medial s is a very old version of the lower case s. S as we now know it used to be its own capital form, much like how many other capital letters are completely different to their lower case forms today. But eventually the rules started changing around lower case s, and it started being used in the middle and end of words. Eventually with the advent of the printing press, it became more efficient to have one key for s instead of two. And soon after, the medial s died. There was nothing wrong with Philidor’s spelling, he was just using an antiquated form of speech which seems odd today. It was an interesting foot note!
I imagine Irving Chernev (the book's author - his name should be mentioned a bit more often) knew that, but was just having fun (or getting a cheap laugh!). The "long s" as it is sometimes called was neither printed nor written the same way as "f". In type "f" had a cross bar going right across, while the long s had a bar merely to the left. So Chernev's book, at least in the current edition, actually prints f not s. In handwriting the letter was written as a long narrow loop above the line (like an l) with a long looping tail below, but no cross bar.
Hii, by 19:50 why not knight to e6 threatining the rook and queen... so black takes with their pawn. Then white takes blacks g pawn with the white bishop, blacks king is extreamely exposed... will that also be a good move or not as good...? And with that knight sacrifice you can use your rook on the 6th rank to apply more pressure too...?the rook can also be sacrificed and take the knight of black, that will be too many pieces to deal with for black..?
at what level in your game maybe in elo or experience, are you able to solve the sequence of moves as described in 17:10, I'm barely able to see 2 moves ahead at 300 elo, I started playing a week back after like over a decade, abt 10 matches a day Although as I'm writing the comment, I see if you break down the captures into segments on the board and think in fragments it seems a bit less daunting, but again I'd still never think of that, even after seeing this position it's quite hard, and all that if white even Nxe4. How do you do it? Rather how often do you do it? coz maybe you'd get tired and miss out in actual tactical positions later in the game. or does it just become second nature, and it doesn't feel hard later? PS: I'd say everything I learnt about chess was from your channel, the rating climb series is awesome and so is the logical chess series which I'm wacthing rn.
There is no way for u to show the eval..bar on the screen? Is there a horizontal bar that u could set under ur Pic screen? I notice u always have to move things around to show it. Idk I don't stream. Thanks for what u do😊
I read that book and there was so much in it I could not absorb the great minds play. You make it understandable. So very much appreciated. May Jesus bless you for your efforts and gift given as a teacher
This is such a great video. Thank you for making this , how can I improve such tactics and calculation ? Is it about practising a lot of puzzles , reading chess books or just practice playing match. I can’t think of playing this way 😢😂
Yes but the whole motif of the game is the weak dark squares around the black king. After 1. Qxg4, bf6, white has nothing because black now holds the dark squares.
This game is a great example of why Black has to be *extremely* careful when castling King-side in the French defense. The e-pawn blocks the Bishop away from the King side...just in general, it is much more difficult for Black to bring defenders than for White to bring attackers. So giving up a valuable defender *and* the initiative basically just handed White a winning advantage. I know this because I've lost in exactly that fashion many times.
Thank you for making these videos normally it took me 1 or 2 months to have 100 elo points but now I am reading it and watching your videos I gained 200 elo in 2 weeks I was an 1300 now I am an 1506
Most likely after white castled black should have played c5 to challenge the center. If white ever captures the black knight, recapture with the bishop to be ready to play g6 without having to worry about swiss cheese dark squares around the black king.
At move 19 - white RE6 .. what if BE4 instead ?? that looks pretty good pinning the bishop , because if 19 ...BxR , then 20 Bxb and threatening BXR .. ?.. plus that knight cant take because of the threat of mate.
It looks all so logical when you explain it so well and clearly....wenn i am in front of the Board, it is suddenly more complex in my smalltalk brainstorming!😀
Be4 Bxe4 Nxe4 Qh7# Be4 Bxe4 Re8 Bxg6 Fxg6 Qg6+ If Kf8 Qf7# If Kh8 Nf7# I Don't know what else You can play in this postion and I maybe wrong if you find any mistake just inform me
@@danielward7008I think most likely a GM with the checkmate sacking the queen and mating with the Bishops that took some good calculating talented player
also good but notice you're restricting the rook on f1 that way, so if the attack doesn't work out it can become inconvenient. Because with Rfe1 the other rook on the a file can still move to all other files while keeping a rook on f1
A bit above my pay grade! But I can learn from the queen traps in the opening. The exhibition game would have been far more interesting if it wasn't between a genius and a dumbass, but between equals.

He’s very good at instructional chess a lot of good points
Wow so many sacrifices, queen traps, hidden forks and all of the good stuff in this line.
what about gers though?
Such a great lesson for me at my level. Thanks for great explanations, Nelson! 👍👍
Thank you mate for the tips and explanations ☺
7:30 white only lost a knight, if white finds Ne5 counter attack on the queen.
9:35 Qh4 keep an eye on that h7 pawn and prepare to play bishop g5 and trade the knight off. even if black plays h6, just sac the dark square bishop and bring the knight to g4
13:30 white don't want black to trade the bishop for the knight right? because after exd5, Qh6. nvm I can't find what going on
15:40 sac the queen and play Bh7#
16:10 dxc4 is the best move. apparently black can sac their queen and it is still +2.3 for white but its the best move
19:50 Qh6?
I'll have to watch this a few more times - got my head spinning on first watch 😵💫 , many thanks for this though ! Looking forward to all the lessons around mid July , definitely need it 😊

Good idea but it doesnt work due to some crazy stockfish line
Thanks for bringing those informations.🙂
In 7:08 , can't White just attack the Queen with Ne5 an be in a completely nice position?☝🏻
Picked up chess recently and your videos have been really helpful. Thank you!
19:34 Why moving a knight is an only move? What about Kg7 with possibility to run to F6 later?
Qxg4
Great game, and some wonderful lessons to be learnt! Thank you for sharing, Nelson! 😃👋❤️🙏

to take is a mistake

To take is often a mistkae.

2:45 Why not take the bishop first; if they trade queens you still gained a piece. If they take your bishop, then Qb7 to win their rook?
Great videos man. Never stop!

The queen traps were interesting to watch!
I make that mistæk sometimes, too.
Whether or not he misspelled mistake you didn’t quite phrase your sentence with proper adverbs
@@michaelmassaro4375 English isn't my first language
So Black shouldn't have taken on e4 they also shouldn't have played b6, both of which look like standard moves. What moves should Black have played?
1...e5 or ...c5
Most likely after white castled black should have played c5 to challenge the center. If white ever captures the black knight, recapture with the bishop to be ready to play g6 without having to worry about swiss cheese dark squares around the black king.
Very instructional game and book!
Still learning new things even after years
L,l, lol

At move 19 - white RE6 .. what if BE4 instead ?? that looks pretty good pinning the bishop , because if
19 ...BxR , then 20 Bxb and threatening BXR .. ?..
plus that knight cant take because of the threat of mate.
to take is a mistake, that is if the trade is fair (knight for a knight, etc.)
rather let them take you, almost always the better choice
4:36 - why doesn't black just push a pawn to f6 to fork white's bishop and knight?
Q-F3 Maybe, then if Black takes Bishop, Q-F7 mate, if Black takes Knight he loses the his Queen to the Bishop
It looks all so logical when you explain it so well and clearly....wenn i am in front of the Board, it is suddenly more complex in my smalltalk brainstorming!😀
5:29 my thought was bishop to G5. Skewering the king to the queen?
You run into a fork from black when they play pawn to f6
I saw the fork after pausing and studying the position, but that would have been my blunder in a 5:00 game. Man I love chess
In 7:08 , can't White just attack the Queen with Ne5 an be in a completely nice position?☝🏻
question where does nelson sell the courses he mentioned?
23:24 What about Be4?
Be4 Bxe4 Nxe4 Qh7#
Be4 Bxe4 Re8 Bxg6 Fxg6 Qg6+
If Kf8 Qf7#
If Kh8 Nf7#
I Don't know what else You can play in this postion and I maybe wrong if you find any mistake just inform me
The thing I have understood from watching chess is that a good position is better than a pawn or piece advantage.
9:35 what if black plays f5 and then nf6
I'd love to know how long this game took. There are so many crazy lines here.
Idk but I'd like to know who's playing as this is extremely high level play from white.
@@danielward7008I think most likely a GM with the checkmate sacking the queen and mating with the Bishops that took some good calculating talented player

How many crazy line for stock fish
14:02 Why not Rae1?
Maybe it would be good to put the name of the series / chapter number on the title?
2.32 Qd2
The way you say zwichenzug is breaking me great pain
How do you spell it again? Swishnflick?
Or just h6… who moves bishops two times in a row!?
Also never move the b7 pawn like a noob!
What about knight to E6?
why not f5 after Qxe4?
The e6 pawn hangs
14:02 why not Rae1
also good but notice you're restricting the rook on f1 that way, so if the attack doesn't work out it can become inconvenient. Because with Rfe1 the other rook on the a file can still move to all other files while keeping a rook on f1
I thought the rook on f1 is for protecting the f pawn
2:16 And he sacrifices… THE QUEENS!!!
A bit above my pay grade! But I can learn from the queen traps in the opening. The exhibition game would have been far more interesting if it wasn't between a genius and a dumbass, but between equals.

At 7:23 You forgot to mention that White does not lose the whole queen but rather a piece after Ne5 Rxb7 (Or she runs away to f3.) Nxd7 Nxd7 which wins for black. Also, at 10:24 instead of b6, what is wrong with Qd5 to try to trade queens by Qh5? Also, at 28:06 White loses the a2 pawn as well in this position. And from our view, losing two pawns like this is not OK as White without any ways to get them back. Also, Black can still play f5 and f4 and can still do the same plan of launching the attack which means that Black is better, right?
19:34 Why moving a knight is an only move? What about Kg7 with possibility to run to F6 later?

And with that knight sacrifice you can use your rook on the 6th rank to apply more pressure too...?the rook can also be sacrificed and take the knight of black, that will be too many pieces to deal with for black..?
Thanks for bringing those informations.🙂
In 7:08 , can't White just attack the Queen with Ne5 an be in a completely nice position?☝🏻

14:02 Why not Rae1?
19:34 Why moving a knight is an only move? What about Kg7 with possibility to run to F6 later?
