    Incredible how something so simple and seemingly semi-pointless can be so powerful! I don't think I've ever seen this in any chess book before...
    I think I'll call this move the Full Nelson! LOL

    That second game opened my eyes

      I can also agree.

    • @Midnight890
      @Midnight890 Před 2 lety

      The first game for me at least showed a little bit about the power but the second game was a perfect example of what good positional player like that can get you

    0:10 Yeah, I guess I'd need advice on what to do if my opponent somehow got 12 pawns. 0:24 or had moved 3 of them to their back rank.

    • @BrokenG-String
      @BrokenG-String Před 2 lety

      Also 1:35 queen to e3 is a terrible move cuz of Bishop d4 attacking the queen and a7.

    • @nickeastmusic9930
      @nickeastmusic9930 Před 2 lety

      ​@@BrokenG-String bishop d4 loses a pawn due to the in between move bb4 with check, white needs to play Bc3 and you just take twice on c3.

  • @thejames666
    @thejames666 Před 2 lety +2

    My son is five and plays very well for his age. But he doesn’t stop to think about what his opponent is trying to do. And I was guilty of that for years, only really embracing chess in my 30s. This is the next level to that. This is how can I stop him doing something before he’s even thought about doing it. This is brilliant. And exactly the sort of thing I will be slowly trying to surreptitiously infuse into his game as he improves. Keep doing what you’re doing, Nelson, you’re awesome 👏

  • @ryanbeveridge8110
    @ryanbeveridge8110 Před 2 lety +4

    This video is very instructional. This concept is similar to how AlphaZero likes to suppress the opponents pieces so they can’t move. It’s definitely a strategy that I need to implement more in my games. Another great video by Master Nelson! I hope he has a lot of fun at his tournament!

  • @thephotographyexpert7314

    I really liked that last example. I've been doing this randomly but i shall now incorporate it into my games.

  • @vladislavshevchenko634
    @vladislavshevchenko634 Před 8 měsíci +1

    There was a game where my opponent had double isolated pawns blocking my opponents queenside bishop, so I used my pawns knight and rook to completely cut off his bishop and king from getting out of the pawn chains, his room could've potentially sacrificed itself for my knight, but had no other meaningful moves also if he decided to sacrifice, his bishop would stay in prison behind the pawns forever.

    The second game in particular reminded me of two games were Black's pieces were stuck on the back rank: game 6 of the second Kasparov-Deep Blue match (1997, Deep Blue won the game and with it the match, 3.5-2.5) and the game at San Remo 1930 where Alekhine first introduced Alekhine's Gun (vs. Niemzowitsch).

  • @JurijFedorov
    @JurijFedorov Před 2 lety

    Great concept!
    Could be fun to have games with chess principles like the Chessbrahs have. So a list of principles you can use to win a game and then add to that list. Just to see this in action step by step. Maybe a chess bingo would be cool. A list of like 50 principles and then as you get one you cross it out until you get them all.

  • @christopherheckman7957

    0:13 I hate positions like this, where the opponent has all 12 pawns.
    0:23 OTOH, I love positions where the opponent's pawns are on their first rank.
    Nelson has a video "15 ways to win with pawns", in which he points out that not taking opponent's pawns can block up the position, similar to the concept in this video.
