Nelson could u add back the evaluations for every move after u explain them all, it helps me understand these videos a lot easier. Your content is awesome btw!
The funniest thing is in position 3 there are only 5 legal moves, and in 1601+ elo the rank 3rd move was chosen by the 5% of player, so the other 2 moves must have been chosen by equal or less than 5% of players. 44 + 29 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 88% so it means that 12% of players played an illegal move, and I think Qxd4 as illegal move is the best choice. I would definitely play that move in this position if I am in a tournament
In the future timestamps for the intro and each position would be super nice. Otherwise this is excellent instructional content, keep doing what you're doing!
In a normal game, most "good" moves lead to a slightly better position. In this series, however, most lead to a completely winning position. I think this messes up people's heads when you do indeed show positions without a completely winning move. I think you should just say it when there's no completely winning move.
From 5:40 I wasn't happy with the explanation that this leads to damaging whites pawn structure, because I thought white would do Qe2. I ran it on stockfish for a while and to me it seems that the general problem is that trading queens means whites position becomes very passive, the rooks having to stay guarding b2, the bishop on h6 and knight on c3 are also passive. Edit: it seems stockfish would reply Qe2 after I let it search to depth 41...
It's 6am where I come from and I haven't slept the whole night because it's so frickin hot... Thanks for the video at least a small relief in this long night :)
First puzzle was Qa5 for me, which is a good enough move and keeps the pieces with some threats. Qd7 can always be kicked by the rook. If rook takes pawn variation with Qd7, black can compensate with Qa8 then Bg7, pawn for a pawn, but losing all initiative and be quite worse if white pushes center pawns. Qe2 after the best move instead of the rook e2 defense risks the drawish queen trade.
I did notice that taking the pawn with your rook (weakens your back line) But slap on the wrist to me. For playing knight to early. Wait a move to play it. Love video
1400 - I got the first two correct, though I missed the best line in the second puzzle. I almost submitted Kg1 in the third puzzle but changed my mind right at the last minute. I couldn't see the difference between Kg1 and f6.
I for the life of me can not understand why people trade queens to damage a pawn structure. Like, i shoot myself in the foot so the opponent might get startled.
I am trying to learn how to play chess effectively. I think your videos are very clear and informative. Thank you. I’m on a fixed income and want to know how much your courses cost and if I am able to afford them how do I order them?
Position 1 im 1000 rated I didn't see the lined-up rook so I did Nf6 cuz the queen has the move and yea I guess After: OHHHHHH I see why this move is good now hm the queen can't go there so cool hm queen to d3 is a pretty good move Position 2: i did Rb4 hm i can get the knight ok ill do that after: THERES SO MANY ATTACKS! sheesh ok, that's cool ✨ Position 3 I did Kg8 bc it it moves there i can take it?
I hate immortal chess for the one and single reason of rating mismatches. I am not a 2000. On my best day Im maybe an 1850 and on my average day im like 1740. And I only get put with either really good people or really bad people. Also those elos aren't what I'm rated on the websites. Thats my official elo.
The reason is, that its only one move. For example in the first one, a sub 1000 maybe sees that Qd3 attacks the undefended rook and plays it. The sub 1000 doesnt play this move with the idea to damage whites pawn structure after the queen trade and get a slightly better endgame.
Omg I'm so pissed! Its 443am, position 3 and my cat is terrorizing me because I woke him up at a screaming whisper eeeeeeeee fiiiiiiiivvvveeee! Wtf is en passant anyway? Lol French BS 🤣
I heard saying chess is cool 3 times gets you pinned Chess is cool Chess is cool Chess is cool Psst this isn’t true just make them think it is and pin me plzzz

I thought the third choice was best for the last puzzle. En passant. The bane of my existence.

This channel is so underrated. Nelson your videos are super good and keep up the good work!

These videos were the one where you gained me as a subscriber. They are your best, I really enjoy them and learn a lot. Keep it up.
Thanks, will do!

You're the best teacher of chess, hands down Nelson, you got a unique habilite to make everything understandable
i think you may have forgotten to put the stockfish evals for position 1
WELL DONE NELSON ON 150K SUBS!!! . It only seems like yesterday you were at 50k. What a ride hey!!!
CONGRATULATIONS !!!
Thanks a lot, Darryl!

“Theirs no way to deal with it” queen: am i a joke to u
Thank you for a great video. For me, this series is up there with the most educational chess content on the Internet.
Such a cool series!
could you share the FENs of the positions? that would make it easier for us to try some moves out for ourselves that weren't covered in the video :)
I'm actually so bad at chess that I found Queen d3 thinking "ah yes I like harassing rooks"
2:04
Knight from E8, to F6,
I did notice that taking the pawn with your rook (weakens your back line)
But slap on the wrist to me. For playing knight to early. Wait a move to play it. Love video
I played Bg7 in the first position to trade bishops, but that removes our really strong bishop
Wow that's a really nice video thank you so much
Congrats on 150k!!
Thanks, Rob!
i find the move that has the less percentage ( best move ) in all position
Quick question in the first move of the first position why can’t the black queen be moved to the back rank?
1400 - I got the first two correct, though I missed the best line in the second puzzle. I almost submitted Kg1 in the third puzzle but changed my mind right at the last minute. I couldn't see the difference between Kg1 and f6.
6:48
Rook B8 to B4.
Position 1 - after Qd3, what if black plays Qe2?
genuine question, for the second example, pawn to E5? why bad?
For the first puzzle, why cant you play Qa8 in the Rxb2 line?
Because Queen takes e7
@@PumperKrickel Bg7
you can, but after Qxe7 Bg7, Bxg7 Kxg7, e5 blacks position just looks terrible
Certainly better than Rb8. That's an awful move.
I for the life of me can not understand why people trade queens to damage a pawn structure.
Like, i shoot myself in the foot so the opponent might get startled.

In position 1 at 3:33, instead of playing Ra8 couldn’t you also play Qc8? That way you’re setup to defend against the Rook
Still what's about Qa8 after such a "bad move" on 4:35?
i choose pawn h5 in position2
funny thing is, in the thumbnail, if the 1600s make a rook or queen, its a stalemate.
Oh wow didn't even notice that when I made it 🤣
In position 3 also..kg8 I risk. Knight attack queen opens rook . Black Queen tries to say. Rook checksmates. Am I wrong..
Me seeing the move of the Queen in the First quiz :')
En passant! I can hear anarchychess' screams of glee.
11:18
Pawn d7 to d5.
Sorry about that.
Mean Pawn e7 to e5.
Didn’t even notice that pawn can do that. Double slap on my hands
no cap i got the first one correct
Yo im new to chess and it confuses me alot any tips for a 300💂🏽♀️
Saint Louis Chess Club (on CZcams) has a lot of videos for beginners. Look in their playlists under Lectures.
lol I said e5 and forgot about en passant :(
Position 1 im 1000 rated I didn't see the lined-up rook so I did Nf6 cuz the queen has the move and yea I guess After: OHHHHHH I see why this move is good now hm the queen can't go there so cool hm queen to d3 is a pretty good move
Position 2: i did Rb4 hm i can get the knight ok ill do that after: THERES SO MANY ATTACKS! sheesh ok, that's cool ✨
Position 3 I did Kg8 bc it it moves there i can take it?
12:51 can't you sac the knight here at d6 then pawn e takes f6 and then the rook to c7 king to the back rank and then play queen takes f6.
After Nxd6 just Qxd4 and white loses his queen, the white knight is pinned right now
@@wcheng2795 Oh, I didn't see that thanks for the highlight
Had to read about En passant. Seems really weird for a noob like me :/

Umm qd3 is obviously the obvious move how only some people saw that move
My benko is trash, needed this
I'm such an idiot. I always spot the bad moves. I will be absolutely winning and then just give the damn game away. Fml
how are so many sub 1000 players finding these moves, i was 0 for 3 here
The reason is, that its only one move. For example in the first one, a sub 1000 maybe sees that Qd3 attacks the undefended rook and plays it. The sub 1000 doesnt play this move with the idea to damage whites pawn structure after the queen trade and get a slightly better endgame.
