I just started playing last year. Thanks to Nelson, Igor Smirnov, and Aman’s “Building Habits” playlist, I’m already up to 800 elo in Rapid and climbing :)
Yes, this - although i think joke-o is the correct pronunciation unless there are regional variations in Italy. I think chess pros like Nelson should really make the effort to pronounce the names of the common openings correctly to help others learn it if for no other reason. It also sounds a bit dumb otherwise.
You are a great teacher. I really appreciate the effort you put in explaining chess in a matter of fact way that is easy to grasp. You have a really talent for teaching. May any obstacles you are facing in life be quickly dispersed and may you and your family and friends be blessed with peace and abundance. Keep up the great work. I love it.
Don’t forget the trap: 1 e4 e5, 2 Nf3 Nc6, 3 Bc4 Bc5?!, 4 Nxe4 Nxe4?, 5 d4! forking the knight and bishop. A beginner will probably try to save one of the pieces, allowing the other to be taken, though an intermediate player may see 5 … Bxd4, 6 Qxd4 with a tempo on the knight. The material is even, but white has a slight edge in development. I’ve seen this same “trap” in transpositions from other e4 openings.
I guess you meant 3...Bc5 4. Nxe5?! Nxe5 5. d4 Bxd4 6. Qxd4 Nxc4 7. Qxc4 (7. Qxg7? Qf6!) Ne7 and black is at least equal. If then 8. Qd4 f6 followed by 9...Nc6 is good for black
Hi Nelson, I’ve got a challenge for you: play Martin but, your knights are gangster knights, which means, if your both knights get captured you lose and if you lose one of the knight you have to blunder your queen!! And if you think you can put your knight on a safe square, I’m sorry you can’t so you have to move your knight every 3 moves. And last but not the least, you have to checkmate with your knight or captures the opponent’s knights with your knights without getting captured, you can do anyone of these two you want. Hope you win. Good luck 😉
6:43 A pattern that can also be seen in Traxler Counter Attack; to give a check with the bishop is more advantageous in both cases. Nice video as always.
Great video! As always, enjoyed it a lot. Simple to understand, and beautifully explained. (Although I'm not sure whether that's how 'Giuoco' is pronounced... However, I think it's closer than Hikaru Nakamura's attempt. He just goes straight with 'Gucci'... 😂)
Choose your opening very carefully. If u want aggressive opening and attack in the middle game, search for something that suits you, but is somewhat sane, i.e, does give the opponent over 0.5 points of advantage. For instance, play the Tal caro kann, and not alien gambit. This will mean you can play it at higher levels, and not have to worry about anything anymore
@@lucastheg6156 So you are one of the 3 in 10 players. I got like a 72% win rate with the Rousseau gambit. And everytime I meet someone who counters it I learn something which helps me the next time. Given after a certain elo ranking of 1600-1800 you shouldn't play it but before it is crushing, even more so in Blitz
I have almost a 70% win rate with the halloween gambit at 1800-1900 elo on rapid (im 1924 elo). I’ve played it so many times i feel like a master of it. Now i’ve started playing blitz an every game with it is a win. Currently at 1700 blitz rating
Trap 1: what if black goes for the fork, but takes the rook (not the knight or queen)? Seems like the rook was more important in this attack as it covers h-file.
1:50 those are the best move (h6 and Bxf6) and h4 is a total blunder, after hxg5, hxg5, Ng4 is the only move that wins for black and g6 is the best move for white. Black can just completely ignore it and counter with d5 (I dont think anyone without analyzing it and have a good memory can find that since it is not on the side where white is attacking). even Bxf2+ is winning. yes Nxf2 loses on the spot after Nxe5 but not worth it. 7:30 when Bxf2+ and Ke2, stockfish just said "ignore the king and just play d6 or d5" (stockfish really likes d5 and d6), Nd4+ is still a very good move though and also when white takes the knight with Nxd4, stockfish still thinks black should just ignore the entire knight and play d5 (exd6 is -1 for black and d5 is -1.5)
I seem to remember Bruce doing commentary with host Shelby Lyman on the PBS TV broadcast of Fischer-Spassky., Are there any fellow old timers or historians that help my memory?
One of the defining moments in his life was during the Fischer-Spassky match in 1972. At that time, he was working at the Strand Book Store in Manhattan when he met a producer from WNET (a PBS affiliate) who was covering the match. The producer asked Pandolfini to be a TV commentator, assisting Shelby Lyman, for the “Match of the Century.” Shelby Lyman, a strong chess master and one of the few chess coaches earning a living during those days, encouraged Pandolfini to pursue chess teaching as a career12.
you've written 3 comments on this video, one saying that he's blind, one saying that he sucks, and one asking if he's hosting a tournament...are you bipolar or schizophrenic by any chance?
@@THEEXCEPTIONofficial01 he might be better in terms of entertainment and chess knowledge but Nelson is better in explaining and analysing games for us.
Why is there such a disparity between my elo and my puzzle rating and what can I do to close the gap? My puzzle rating is *DOUBLE* my elo (2078 vs 1146 in rapid).
I'm 3000 puzzle and 2200 rapid so i may be able to help, a common mistake I see lower rated players make is that they push for tactics in a normal position and hope their opponent plays a bad move instead develop and improve your pieces ,follow the plans of your opening and wait for the opponent to make a mistake and then punish them
Chess is way too complicated for ordinary players ELO 1500-1800. Only fanatical pro's get some complexity right, and only the AI engines can fathom it more completely. We humans are the losers here! :( There's no morality, just complexity.
Just started playing chess a few months ago, I highly recommend this channel to ANY beginners!!

@tessa8230 wow I'm pretty bad then, I'm 220 in rapid but 650ish in dailies so I think I jus gotta take my time
These videos always get uploaded right after I finish losing a bunch of games and blundering every piece 💀
😂😂😂😂 💯
Go complain to the UN. If your opponent massacred your pieces and you couldn't do anything, it's not a game, it's a g3nocide.
And i am blundering before video and after also
@@GabbarKooner😂😂 same
Bro what flag is that pfp you have!!!
@11:21 thats a good advice there, Nelson! i will remember that.
In Italian, the "Giu" is a soft G like in Geology. So they would pronounce it Gee-oh-co, or G. O. Co, or joke-oh if you say it fast

This chef really is passionate about keeping his rice bar open! Keeping the kitchen just clean enough to keep the health inspectors at bay.
In game two, the move 6. Nc3 was white's first big mistake. then 7. Be3 just compounds the problems.
THANK YOU ILL MEMORIZE these

I am 2100 rapid and i play Busch gass Gambit as black. Yes i am a maniac
me too, this video useless for me but still watching it. (if I am white, I play King's Gambit)
Great video. Board was an ugly colour though.
nah its a nice change of pace it looks nice :)
I agree, I think it's an ugly color
Trap 1: what if black goes for the fork, but takes the rook (not the knight or queen)? Seems like the rook was more important in this attack as it covers h-file.
6:47 would knight h6 be a good defensive move? It’s guarded by the pawn and add extra protection to the pawn on f7 that is under attack…
Great video.
You said in an early video you will make a video of kings gambit in depth other than 4 minute kings gambit
1:50 those are the best move (h6 and Bxf6) and h4 is a total blunder, after hxg5, hxg5, Ng4 is the only move that wins for black and g6 is the best move for white.

Hello, i think I played this style...a lot, however I still got beaten🥺 becaude i lost myself in the middle game👉🏻👈🏻😅
Isn't this the definition of a trap-being punished for normal moves?
Peccato per la dicitura giuoco piano usata in modo impreciso...

I don't get why some people prefer the textured boards. it just creates visual noise for me.

2 knight defense is goated
You're not playing it right. When it opens up, it's very complex and interesting.
