I heard that chess improves speed reading so I was doing a test...results are not promising
You're quick learner :)
please make for 1900++ i need it
I used to be able to speed read, I can tell you practice makes you a speed reader and technique.
Unfortunately it didn't directly help to improve my chess 😂😂
I've been using chess to increase my game sense and decision making and positioning all while on the heat of the moment to make sound decisions. In rocket league
lmao
Easy reference:
1 0:00 Don't give up file control, allow your opponent to trade into you
2 0:55 Double your rooks on open files when you can
3 1:50 Get your knights to outposts!
4 3:20 Don't let your opponent's "bad bishops" become good ones
5 5:11 Be careful moving pawns on the kingside
6 6:41 Be careful giving up control of central squares
7 7:37 Develop and consolidate before launching an attack
8 8:18 Take advantage of your opponent's weak diagonals
9 10:58 Be careful castling in front of a pawn storm
10 11:23 Get your knights to outposts!
11 13:08 Knights on the rim are dim
12 14:00 When far ahead, trade pieces to simplify
13 14:37 Think about Qb3
14 15:30 Beware of allowing connected passed pawns
15 17:05 Don't allow your king to be stuck far away from your pawns
16 18:23 Use weaknesses that you see as clues to find more advanced tactics
17 20:04 Be careful putting your pieces into pins
18 21:18 Be careful pushing pawns in front of your castled king
19 22:04 When defending a piece, try to accomplish more than one thing at a time
20 24:34 Think about castling BOTH directions
21 25:24 Watch out for your rooks lined up with your queen/king
22 26:31 Get a good tactics book (links below)
23 29:31 Be careful taking free pawns
24 31:16 Doubled center pawns can help you!
25 32:41 When way ahead, identify how you could possibly lose and defend against that
Public service to all of us, great stuff!
thx

My man
leaving a comment for later, thanks
Thank you, Nelson, for making chess accessible. I haven't played in years, mostly because I never knew any strategy to it. It's cool to be able to learn things and get professional advice in such simple and understandable terms, even if I might not sit down at a chess board for the rest of the year. Your videos are as entertaining as they are educational, and you've managed to turn me from someone who barely plays into a regular viewer.
I dig your channel man, you're not condescending about how you deliver things. Just helpful info! Solid stuff, thank you.
I like how you are providing guidelines on how one should go about determining whether or not to follow a rule of thumb, instead of limiting the player's thought process with absolute statments.
You have a wonderful teaching style. As a learner, I find your voice, attitude and use of language really encouraging. Thanks for the tips.
To elaborate on tip 16. You won't always find tactics by looking at weaknesses, because there may simply not be any. But usually, weaknesses last for at least several moves and at most throughout the entire game. And in if you keep these weaknesses in mind, you may be able to form a tactic in one of those moves.
There has been a few occasions in my rapid games where I saw something that was almost a tactic, and wasn't, but it later really became a tactic because of that same idea I saw that my opponent didn't see.
12:13 the perfect explanation of outposts for knights and why the pawn defending the square is so important
You may be the best at explaining everything in a simple way we all can understand. Appreciate you!!!
Thanks for the insight and thought process. Much appreciated. You have a knack for teaching. Also appreciate how you educate without belittling people.
I completely agree. Great tuition style and we are not made to feel like idiots for being at a beginner stage.

0:16 When both the mutual attackers are defended, I, too, like to let my opponent start the exchange. Not only, as you say, because my piece then owns the line, but also because starting the exchange costs a tempo which I might use more usefully elsewhere. But I find that Stockfish sometimes says that I should have taken first.
These simple tips are gold!! Many many thanks for taking the time to edit this.
Fantastic video. As one other person said, the tip text was on screen so briefly, three times I had to hit the 10 sec rewind button to catch it again. Suggestion: shrink the game area just a bit so you have a margin at the bottom so that you can place the tip text in it for the duration of the segment. Or make use of the space where the players names, time remaining, and captured pieces are to put the text of the tip there.
Added bonus...when discussing Stockfish advantage, is there a way to show it onscreen? I felt like I was missing something, and it took me a bit to realize it wasn't being shown.
Quick tip for computer (not on phone)
Using the arrow keys scrolls back/forth by 5 seconds
Bonus tip:
Using the , and . Scrolls by single frames :)
The poison pawn nearly got me very recently in a game. The post game analysis showed the mistake to be something else, but I think I really set myself up to be in an awkward position. I was so under developed it was a very tough game with terrible accuracy.
20:04 Be careful putting your pieces into pins
The e7 bishop also covers the knight on c5, so if you move your b4 castle to b5, then let them capture first, you could come out on top.
He's not going to capture until he has enough attackers. Remember, his knight is pinned, so he's going to have a hard time dealing with pieces piling up on his pinned piece.
After Rb5, a7 and black is completely paralysed. The Queen has to stay on the diagonal to defend the knight, and the knight can't move without losing the queen. White can play Ra2 and Rab2 after which the black Knight falls.
These are such great examples and concepts to use and learn, thank you!!
Extremely helpful! Keep up the good work and good luck on your chess career.
I’ve only just come across this channel but it feels like it’s got real potential, particularly for beginners and lower rated ELO players 👍
Loved these videos. Thanks for making this series
This was really useful! Ive been doing puzzles and it improved my game more than learning openings
This is definitely high quality educational material! Thanks for your time! 🚀
Great video. I def learned a lot. Loved all the tips. Only thing were the titles of the tips went by to fast. I barely had time to read them and let the tip soak in before the lesson on it started. Otherwise awesome video and would love to see more tips. Thanks Nelson
This was incredibly helpful. Thank you!
15:24 in this position, Queen B3 actually seems to be the best move, because Bishop D2 blocks the defense of the Pawn on D4, which ties down the F3 Knight, whereas Queen B3, as you mentioned, has that strong counter attack.
i didnt understand
@@Tamyrk hes saying queen b3 is the best move because bishop blocks the defense of the pawn, which ties down to the knight
Another amazing video. Thank you so much!
Amazing stuff...this is the only channel which actually gives proper tips to all sort of chess players....
I really enjoyed this video and learned a lot. Please consider leaving your chapter titles on screen for a few seconds longer 😎
Thanks, Nelson. You are my trainer. I am following you from Lubango, Angola. I am growing a lot under your guidance. Muito obrigado.
27:30 Lichess has different puzzle categories. So different openings, end/middle game, mate in 2,3,4, 5+ or specific kinds of mate. Also forks, skewers, and pins as well.
Your title tiles need to be longer!! Haha. Thanks for vid tho. Great advice. Love ur content.
One of your best videos.. like others have said .. the tip text is on too brief … could you hold it for about 2 secs longer .. your my favorite chess instructor.. Thanks Nelson
Thank you Nelson. you're like a chess treasure waiting to be discovered. you give strategies and tactics fast without wasting any time.
E
A few more:
* Don't turn your bishops into tall pawns
* When in doubt, develop your pieces to the most forward available square
* Alternatively: improve your least active piece
* To take is a mistake: only trade when there's a good reason to
* The 4 non-diagonal squares right next to a knight are the safest from said knight
* Pieces have to be on the same colored square in order to be forked by a knight
Great video, thanks for the advice 😊
Thanks Nelson for posting this compilation, even it is for players under 1400, i find it really useful for me because some of those in this video idk, btw i’m a 1400s player, but i’m struggling to reach 1500 milestone
I wonder what stockfish is. Does stockfish always win or something?
I disagree that some of these are for under 1400. I would say some of these are for under 1000.
@@1mol831 stock fish is the best chess engine
@@andrewj1754 These were just good fundamentals. Helpful for anyone I guess. I am around 1400 and I see many people doing these mistakes. I do these mistakes sometimes too so its always good to reinforce
@@andrewj1754 4 1300 (and one 1290 something) rated players were featured in this video. fundamentals and tactics are not beneath you.
I like how you encourage players as you instruct. Good vibes 🌞
Thanks for analyzing my game on stream Nelson. That game was weird because stockfish said I had a lot of blunders and mistakes but couldn't figure out why. Thanks for giving me insight.
When did you get those sounds thingy for your wall? It does really help. And it makes your background more professional for some reason.
Thank you so much for this. You’re incredible
The 3 move checkmate problems in polgar's 5334 book are advanced and will challenge any 2000-2200 rated player
calm and easy to follow, thanks! i think i talk for everyone who tries to get up from 1200 to 1400
Someone may have caught this already, but in Tip #12, does white actually has a better move than queen trading? That is, what if white plays knight to e4. Black cannot capture the knight with his pawn, because white can simply slide his rook to d1, winning black's queen. As a result, black is forced to move his king, either to e5 (where white has a spring loaded trap waiting), or back to the seventh rank, where white can capture the h7 pawn while putting black in check, which creates more dangerous situations now that white's knight is in a more advanced position.
This video is crazy helpful thanks a ton.
You’re great teacher. Thanks for sharing
The quintessence of useful information. Maximum gratitude!
Wow i love this video straight to the point 👍🏻
I've come across many chess CZcamsrs, but you're the best among all of them. Your explanations are easy to understand and digest. Thank you for your great content.
Wow, thanks!
Really great instructional content here.
Nelson, in light of m,any of your outstanding skills at instructional videos, this being just 1 of so many examples I find your reach with instructional surpasses many others. Add to that your Host demeanor and Chess Vibes is very hard to not be the most favored choice time and again. Just wanted to thank you as I'm not one to comment often however I do share your Ch. with many. Blessings your way from Oregon friend. ... Mike.
Great, watched all of it!
From one that is under 1400, this video is very helpful, you can learn much more from it because all the positions are genuine and are likely to happen in a game. I respect the effort put into the other ones, but in my opinion, they seem more artificial.
i really love chess. i dont know why, i just do, and no matter how frustrating i get after a tilt or a bad loss, i end up jumping back in the same day, but with new knowledge, im not that good. my rating is going between 300 - 500 maybe 600 for the past 2 weeks (how long ive been playing) but its always fascinating to me
I'm rated 1700 Rapid and still found this video really useful. Great stuff!
I put this on to get tips and I found myself in the middle of some game that this guy is playing and rambling on about. Probably some good insight to be had but damned if I know what it is.
Hey, just wanted to let you know that after watching this video, my rating rose by ~200 ELO within a month, thanks!
This is a very helpful video. Thanks!
These are the types of videos that make this channel great.
14:30 Ne4+ enticing him to take the Knight which will lead to you winning his queen with a rook skewer Rd1! If he doesn't take you'll at least win a pawn and have another chance to trade queens)
Nice video thanks how do you get your games analyzed do you do random subscribers ?
Thank you Teacher Nelson. Ur awesome 😊
Based on the last one like this, you ought to get a million well-deserved views.
I needed this. Thank you for this upload. As of now I am 1400s in rapid but i am miserable in blitz. Will feedback if my rating climbs. :)
The contents is awesome, thanks for sharing. Please prolong the duration of displaying the titles (Tip XX), I'm not able to read them on 2× speed.
Thank you, Nelson
Recently, I started watching your videos...and I must say you are one of the best trainers for beginners
❤️ From India
Thanks and welcome
thanks for putting me in the video! :)
Everyone should watch this video ten times until it's thoroughly grooved into their brains.
At 27:35 you can also check with rook then with knight checkmate
One of the most overlooked tactics is SACRIFICE. Hardly anybody thinks you're going to give up a rook or a queen, but if it leads to checkmate, it's worth it.
awesome video ! thanks !
When I see a hole I also try to fit my knight into. But as you said, some holes are more difficult to fill...
concise thus highly useful
What if your queenside rook is traded and the kingside has a potential opponent pawn storm? Do you give up castling all together?
learnt more from this one video than a lot of my chess books !
chess with pawns that could move backwards would be really interesting actually, like fencing
22:49 would Qd5 be a good move? it attacks the black queen while defending the bishop and the white queen is being seen by both a pawn and the bishop, also black has no piece watching that square except their queen.
Sir, can you please mention all the tips in the description? They will be very useful for beginners like me.
3:00 this is playing hope chess, but what about leaving the pawn and simply playing b3. For some reason I like the knight on c3 just in case black thinks he can fork my knight and bishop with d4 and falls into the potential trap of taking the bishop after knight e4, looking for mate on f6.
headphone users beware around 9:42 idk what that audio glitch is called but it sounds deadly even on my little laptop speakers
Polgars book is really good but a lot of it is very basic. I started with Winning Chess Tactics by Seriwan and from there moved to Tuning your Tactics Antenna by Neimman and Improving your Chess pattern Recognition by Oudeweetering. Also, Training with Moska, but that's a little more advanced.
your tips are so helpful
13:23, after bishop takes knight and pawn takes bishop. king to h1 and rook to g1 and you can attack?
Awesome 👏🏽
What chess program are you using in the video? I hear you reference “Starfish”, but my hearing is bad so I may be mistaken.
Is moving your bishop to A4 sometimes a good way to draw out your opponent's B5 pawn? I did have to laugh a little to myself on your pawn end-game🤔 advice when all he had to do was drop his rook to the back rank for checkmate.
What is the blue chess set in the background? Love it!
Other than danya this guy is the best chess streamer in my opinion learning a lot from this page
I love positional advice
Nice video and tips, but the titles are not on screen long enough to read them , wish you’d read them aloud too. 😃
Damn very good strategies, it's even helpful for 1500-1700 who do not really know about these
Another great video!
Dude! I waited for a new upload, so maybe you will see this. When will you go on with your Quiz-Series? I totally love them, but the last one is like 4 months old. It would be great if you could revive this
I second that. Even if he changes it soi it's not so much work with everyone sending in but comes up with them himself for educational purposes
Thanks for the feedback, I'll see about incorporating it at some point in the future!
Fantastic video❤
Speaking of being under 1400, is there any way to estimate one's approximate rating from the ratio of success-to-defeat against computers?
Every day for about three years I've played Fairy Stockfish (the Lichess engine) five to ten times a day. From being roadkill at level 1 I've improved to 50% non-losses (more wins than draws among those) at level five. Can anyone guestimate my rating?
Great video!
I've tried "liking" the video but it won't. I dont know if CZcams is glitching or what, just know, I love your content lol
21:00 You can try put the rook on b5
Can you please make a video on LARS SCHANDORFF CARO KANN
No fluff and no trousers = great video
