    Every time I search for something new to add to my understanding of chess I find myself clicking on Chess Vibes. Nelson seems to honestly be trying to share and teach tactics, strategy, and an understanding of the game. He is not trying to entertaining, to be funny, to be goofy - all of which I find annoying and distracting. He is striving to be informative and helpful. This game is hard, complicated, and tricky to play well. Nelson never promotes himself, gives false promises or quick fixes. He is like a good friend who is simply a way better player and he tells you what you need to work on to get better. I have played over 300 games in the last few months and this video is my favourite so far. Thanks man.

    11:40 . This clarified so much as to why I see GMs not take strong pieces when you are simply moving a pawn to take it. Chess is so simple but so complex at the same time. I don't understand the defense and counter side and reading what your opponent is trying to do. I simply think of attack. This is a great video.

  • @philosophicallyspeaking6463

    Newly come to them, I believe Chess Vibes are the best chess tutorials on UA-cam hands down! Nelson says neither more nor less than is necessary, and the pace is matched to the intended audience (a rare thing) and conducive not only to the consumption of the material at hand, but also to its digestion. His delivery is at all times measured and engaging. Thanks for these!
    "A good attacker has courage." You've got to have a bit of faith! But more importantly, and often missing from the game these days...is to venture a bit of 'fun' on route to exploring the game's and your opponent's reach. Otherwise what is the point! The goal of any game is not so much to win, but to learn something by measure of the opponents potential to use in assessment 'outside' the game. Sacrifice a game to win an ongoing friendship!

    It seemed slightly ironic that the game example for attacking 13:33 (Greek Gift) was typical of (Jobava) London System; then, on the next point, #11, London System is the cited example of a passive opening (system).

    • @davidstar2362
      @davidstar2362 2 роки тому

    • @andreib4226
      @andreib4226 2 роки тому

      From the driest of openings you can get an immediately winning attack if the opponent doesn't know what to do. But I agree that the London can lead to some dangerous attacks, not only by greek gift. It's a slow opening, but it gets dynamic in middlegame, much more exciting than most 1. d4 openings anyway.

      Was it in bullet or blitz game(s)? Gambits are much more likely to work, especially when implemented by aggressive players in tight time control matches.

    Hey Nelson wondering if you have any suggestions for REMEMBERING this material. Not only this one, but your other videos, openings etc. I am thinking of maybe playing some of it out on a board, writing some notes, trying in games as often as possible.
    Do you have anything that's worked particularly well for you and your students? Thanks for the terrific content!
