Nelson idk if you will read this but I think you are a better teacher than a lot of GMs. Like Hikaru is definitely a better player but I struggle to learn from his content because he does not speak clearly sometimes, is distracted by chat, etc. I think being a good teacher is a different skill than playing and Nelson is definitely better at it than a lot of people of higher rating.
Another great instructive video , thanks Nelson ! Definitely goes well with Breaking 1500 .
18:20 - 19:03 thiss was pure gold ❤❤❤, I kept on forgetting about this but the way you emphasize it was magnificent!!
I completely agree, he is gifted in this area 😸
Also, GM Hikaru, since he is the top Blitz player in the world, does not have the patience to explain slowly every move he takes(like Nelson does), he just rushes and tries to be cocky with his lines, like "Spaghetti-O time" or "GG why not?". It is funny how Hikaru criticizes Levy (Gotham chess), for focusing on entertainment instead of being educational, when he does the same thing.

Im amazed this content is literally free. This is literally the best chess content
Ik fr
I mean he’s making money off it lol
@@prepaidtrash5552 yeh he is, but its not paid for us which is crazy given the quality of the content. Love this man
@brawlhelper9040 And the worker is worth his pay. I have zero problem with Nelson making money. He's doing a good service for chess players.
Don't give him any ideas. ...lol
You feel like the teacher that I’ve always been waiting 🙂
This is such a fascinating game. There's things to learn in all three stages. Thanks!
loving the logical chess, especially the rook & knight endgame! ‼️‼️
18:20 - 19:03 thiss was pure gold ❤❤❤, I kept on forgetting about this but the way you emphasize it was magnificent!!
Nelson you are the reason i went from 1000 elo to 1560!!!!!!❤Thank you so much😢
I have already finished the book and recently started playing 1. d4 openings a lot more. One difference I noticed is that e4 openings are heavy on the tactical aspect where one or both sides are always brewing an attack and want to blow up the board but d4 openings always result in a very positional middle game with lots of piece shuffling and cramped board for both sides.
You are probably a super genius by now . My elo climbed a ton with Nelson ! Great guy
@@allannortje6440 not a super genius lol. But my game did improve a considerable amount as compared to before. I also discovered that if you can't afford all those chessly and chessable courses then books are the way to go for a steady improvement. They just require more effort. Currently I am reading how to reassess your chess by IM Jeremy Silman
Although you seem tired and distracted, this is one of the best educational chess videos I've seen in many years, thank you for your time and please keep making them.
I went from 400 elo to nearing 700 this month. My endgame is very lacking and I often panic when my opponent is pushing pawns and rarely create those threats myself. Guess that is another thing to work on
Sameee😢
20:50 I saw it and man it was satisfying to see it.😃
i missed it. wats ur rating?
Nelson, I'm loving ❤️ this!
Thank you so very much for your educational content!!!
I really do want to see the Pillsbury Doughboy Gambit accepted.
Insufficient preparation/understanding of the various lines would likely result in... getting cooked. Sorry, I'll stop. 😜
love my logical chess book . thx Nelson. what a great recommendation from a great guy !!
This was a great lesson. Ty. Please do more in depth games like these!
2:16 Black can't defend the rook directly, but it can indirectly by moving Qd8-c7 with the threat of Bc8-b7 trapping the white Queen if it takes the rook.
My head is on fire!! Thank you Nelson…..
I didn't find anyone explaining things like him. Thanks!
superb, really instructive on the restricting the opponents counterplay.
Love your content, Nelson. Thank you for all you do!
Nelson, are you making a playlist on this classes? I'm not sure I've seen them all @_@
You’re great teacher bros💯
I do enjoy watching these videos. 600s usually don't play brilliant moves.
You are real support, you should get award from fide
Keep it up
I also liked game 20 from this book very much: Rubinstein - Salwe (Lodz 1908), which was also a QGD.
That book by Irving Chernev is one of my favourites! I read it at least twice.
Positional play is what I've struggled with recently, I did all my puzzles and fokused on improving my tactics that I messed up my previously solid positional play, this Video helps alot.
Thank you bro. Remain Blessed 🙌
Thanks for all you do! Great content.
Legendary perspective
Also what a fabulous combination with the seemingly innocuous Ng5 (after Kh1). Many of us would play a7.
At 39:43, White plays Rook to C8 defended by the queen on A6. Black must take with their Rook to C8. Then white Queen takes Rook on C8 and it is check mate on the black king.
26:50 I always i play that to prevent counter attack in Middlegame
Arguably the biggest lesson I have learned from Mr. Nelson in all of his videos is the importance of tempo/time. If you can do two or more things with one move, you will gain an advantage over your opponent. Don't waste time by making two moves with a piece when only one is necessary.
Well said!
Tx so much Nelson
Currently 975 mostly because of you
You're doing a wonderful thing
Superb contents as always
W's for helping us for free
Very nice to see ur game analysis thnks ❤
Right as Nelson said, “game 18 on page 111”, it was 1:11 pm here on my iPad watching the video on YT! 😊
I see a tons of chess vedio sir I found u the best .
22:46 If black plays Qb4, it threats a back rank check mate, so the white knight can't capture the black one right now. Nd3 I guess, the black queen threats the b2 pawn, and about an attack on the rook on c8 looking for a back rank mate on black's king, I guess it can be defended by Nf8.
Super instructive series...What is your rep your playing at the moment for both sides?
The Jovaba London breaks the idea of allowing the c pawn to move. Could you explain why it is still good?
When black moves his knight to f6 I see that he did it to stop bxh7+ followed by ng5 and then the queen to h5 or g4 depending on what black does.
At 28:19 when white played pawn to g4 I thought it was a bad move because it stops defending squares around the king and allows black the opportunity for counter play. (You did show this weakness later in the video with the knight coming in to f3 to threaten a draw or checkmate, which was instructive.) In the next video could you please give a suggestion for a better move for white? I was looking at king f1 and pawn h3 but don't know which one would be better
19:00 if have a threat I don't trade it off ohh ok get it
At 32:06, why not try getting the king out of the drawing and checkmate threats by playing Kg2? Black might collect back some pawns and make white lose time but they become unable to initiate another attack in time, no?
I think so too
(@25:26) And the knight controls b4 so black’s knight can’t come in!😊
33:23 Is here Nd2 also working?🤔 Because it stops the King from coming up otherwise they would play a discovered check winning the Knight and the Rook.😏
Ke1 and the white king has more freedom
15:22 black played nf6 to defend against a greek gift sacrifice, no?
I was just reading comments to see if anyone else saw that. It is NOT a "strategic mistake" to move the knight there (and i'm only 850elo) but it was pretty obvious wasn't it?
Thank you NM Nelson as usual,
The author says nf6 ignores what's going on in the position, but idk if that's true because nf6 prevents the greek gift sacrifice
15:20 I think the Nf6 move is trying to add another defender to the h7 square.
Stockfish says Bxh7+ is a bad sacrifice, but black may have miscalculated and thought it’s a bigger threat than Rc1.
21:04 ok you are right I miss that i against the my cousin I miss a tactic
Not trading off to a winning Rook endgame with 3 extra pawns really gave Black way too much counterplay!
At 19:00, why not use knight to e5 now instead of removing the "bad" opponents bishop with your own "good" bishop? I understand you wouldn't have the queen "pin" later on like in the game, but were you supposed to be able to calculate the lines that far ahead and already seeing the rook-captures pawn with queen pin?
I have an idea.. to teach maybe play a subscriber where they are live, thinking out loud
Whereas after we could hear your thoughts process?
Great vid as always
14:02 Is there any difference between moving rook to c2 and rook to c3? If there is, what's the pro and con?
I think rc3 is slightly better as it leaves the option for Qc2 to create a triple battery idk.
Or control the center
Always do excellent move without draw
Nelsi I have questions what if equel material endgame without taking free pieces and no mistake like grandmaster
Is there a playlist where all videos are in order in one place?
How can I get the free course before it ends I would love to have it
I saw the practice at 21:35 but why doesn’t black slide the other rook over instead of taking whites rook?
Even if there wasn't a pin from the white queen and they had traded away all the pieces on C5 ending with the black queen owning the square, the white knight would have followed up with a fork on black's Queek and F8 Rook... so even without that pin, white would have been good to trade away with abandon.
Amazing content 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
7:42 How is White loosing a tempo here? I don't get it.
- After Bd3 => the Bishop is developed and it's black turn.
- After Bd3, dxc, Bxc4 => the Bishop is developed and it's black turn.
For me, the outcome (tempo wise) is the same.
White is not loosing a tempo relative to black but relative to what they could have if black took the pawn before you moved the bishop. Black ends up in the same position either way, but in the variation without bishop b3 white got to play rook c1.
ty nelson
Harry Nelson "they" LOL
Killer game!
Why is the black rook rook defending the knight when the white king is in the corner? This is in the endgame when you explain how it could be a draw
This game shows why knights are 80000 times better than a bishop
Agree... but only sometimes. Whenever there's some exciting endgame action it seems like a knight is involved. But knights can also be shut down by just a single well placed pawn. Knights need help from other pieces, like in this game it coordinated well with a rook. Queen and knight are a DEADLY combo.
Most GM's prefer bishops. Why is that?@@MarkLeinhos
@@MoMo-pf7to bishops cover more square than knights. Bishop can sometimes totally a whole diagonal and can take advantage of weak colour squares.
This game shows the strength of rooks especially if they get support from knights.
Knight is powerful then bishops in close end game
What if you chase the knight with H2?
Do you know something about Pillsbury? I can't find anybody else using "they" rather than "he" or "him"
Hey Nelson please answer my questions.
I might can't infiltrate in your course because of money but it would be so nice of you answering my questions in your Logical Chess Videos.
37:49 Kramnik left the chat
❤great video!!
Yooooo!! Nice vid ❤
The sound effect from the piece moves are driving me nuts. There's some weird echo that's supposed to like add depth but since it's always identical it just sounds jarring
Best content
26:19 then rest it
23:00 but... do you HAVE to take the queen with the rook? what about using your knight to take the pawn on F7?
Lmao. That literally hangs every piece on the board. Nxf7 Rxf7 then Rxd6 Nxa6 and you are down a knight in the endgame. Also Nxf7 Qxc6 and both your queen and Knight are under attack and you can save only one so you end up a rook and Knight down in the endgame.
@@anshumanpandey8547 I was thinking a followup to Rxf7 with Qc8#, but I see the issue now. derp.
37:35 😂😂😂😂😂
7:06 Bb7 Not Be7 😅
29:52 I would have played this move instead.😎
I can not wait for game 26, I mean I would probably stop playing chess if this happened to me lol.
It's an instruction video, but when in the endgame there was a danger of draw or even checkmate, I got stressed like I would actually be in the middle of it as white 🤣
How did i get here so early???
You clicked on the video
so it's good games from g6 over there
Bro u r my favourite youtube channel ❤️🫡
That's why I never resign.😂
White shouldn’t play F4.
Who's watching in 21st century 👇😂
4th 🥳
Did anyone realized he didn't answer the questions from the previous video in Logical Chess?
Well, maybe he can answer this one in the next video :)
I thoroughly enjoyed this lesson. Your pace and teaching methods are superb. But please stop committing pronoun shifts. When you use the pronoun/ “them or they” you are implying more than one player is playing. This game involves two males players so use the pronoun he. If women players use she. Please
I'd say about 70% of my losses are just like what you said at 38 min mark. Not as nice as moves, there's a finnese displayed here that I definitely haven't got but all the same.
