    Nelson started feeling like a joke very shortly after I found this channel, but he's definitely the biggest roadblock for people who don't have anyone teaching them past how the pieces move. I really appreciate how Levy will intentionally play worse moves in complicated positions so that the game runs more similarly to how people who need this content might play.

    The issue with Nelson is he follows the top Stockfish's move for the first 8ish moves - well after the Scholar's Mate threat is finished. So basically, he plays at 3200 elo for 8 moves before he's allowed to make a mistake.

    Nelson's got an unhealthy obsession with his queen. In my experience, swapping queens off as soon as you get a chance works pretty well; without his favourite piece, Nelson quickly loses the plot. Just stay solid in the opening, watch out for any queen-related shenanigans he tries, swap queens if you can, and wait for him to blunder. Once he hangs a piece (and he will) he quickly self-destructs.

    @tzucson4458 Před rokem +3

    This is so good. I’m past this level of play now, but like 3 weeks ago I was being crushed in blitz by early queen players, and so I opted to go back to studying.
    I figured I’d play computers and get better and watch more on my favorite openings so far. The problem is: early queen play is not something that gets covered in opening education because opening study just goes over the proper lines and their variations prior to mid-game.**
    Well, in my quest to improve I ran into Nelson and was like omg not this again!! More queen nonsense!
    So I decided to scour YT, and even your channel, for all the ways to truly punish these types of players. But alas- there was no definitive content for this stuff.
    But now you’ve gone and posted exactly what I was needing before! So awesome! And it’s still very helpful bc now I can solidify everything I did manage to learn before to get over that hump.
    ** side note: a great tip for creating useful content imo would be for you to make vids about each opening again, but instead of the common lines- addressing say, 3-5 main mistakes your opponent might make that end the book lines too early, thus putting them at a disadvantage since the book lines do go on as long as they do for good reason; because if you get a line that isn’t a known variation there is likely a good reason it’s not a variation (it’s punishable by one side or the other).
    That’s just something I noticed in my quest to improve at chess: all the content on openings never actually goes over “well black does this in response, because if they did say X, Y, or Z- any of these early deviations from the proper lines can be punished in A, B, and C ways.”

      @@honeychurchgipsy6 That was my feeling after having played against bots on my phone and then on my pc through the browser. I could be wrong about there being a difference.
      Assuming that the chess engine used to generate moves for the bots runs locally (on the device and not their servers) which I believe is the case, then one device may be able to look at a greater depth in the same amount of time. So if they're set to run for a certain period of time each move then one will come up with better moves than the other. Probably the developers would try to even them out, thus the engine may run a bit longer on the 'weaker' engine. But they may limit how long the engine can run to keep it more responsive to the user.
      You should take what I said with a big grain of salt. Of course you can test for yourself. Play 100 games against a bot using one device then 100 against the same bot on the other device. Then compare win rates. That could take a while... 😄

    The goal is either to take it for free (obviously) or more likely make it irrelevant.

    Levy went for the principled 1. e4 e5 2. Qh5 Nc6 answer to the early queen attack, which is the best and probably the easiest way to meet it.
    But there's also a funny gambit where you instead play 1. e4 e5 2. Qh5 Nf6, giving up the e5 pawn for development and initiative. It even has a funny name, "Kiddie Countergambit".

    • @douglashudson4706
      @douglashudson4706 Před rokem

      I like 1... d5 against Nelson, because he still plays 2. Qh5, then 2... Nf6 attacks the queen and defends the pawn on d5. Can usually win the e pawn that way and get a nice strong center.

  • @expfrost4050
    @expfrost4050 Před rokem +122

    Just wanna express a theory I thought of involving mittens:
    Basically the bot M3GAN was originally rated 850 elo but out of nowhere a few days ago she gained 200 elo by defeating 2 of the lower rated cat bots as they posed as rivals to the player. This means the M3GAN is most likely against chess bots beating the player, so my theory is that after some time M3GAN will slowly defeat the remaining 3 cat bots (including mittens) and reach a level of playing strength above, even, mittens and therefore will act as the new most powerful chess bot, who will most likely ace as the next Mittens but be even stronger

      How did Nelson manage to lose 21 points of material??? Also, as a bonus, let's open the front door to the king with f4, and then throw away castling rights with Kd1 while being down a queen. In what universe would a 1300 play like this??? This would've been perfect for a guess the elo submission, but I don't know if games against bots are accepted.

I played him again and again - did a few lectures on punishing early queen moves - and bingo - easy. Human beings, on the other hand, are just too random at low levels. Also, bots give up and are shit in an end game, so if you can survive through the opening and middle game you're going to win. Even Katspurrov plays like this.
