Not sure what has changed with the audio/mic situation but I've found some recent videos on this channel are hard to listen to compared to older ones without turning my audio way down. If I had to guess it's simply a matter of speaking too loudly/directly into the microphone (as it visually seems very close to your face in the cam shot), but maybe quality has degraded somehow in some other way?
You say the majority of times he ignores the pin, then you show only two examples where he actually does something to relieve the pin a couple moves later.
Thank you for taking the time to post and analyze this! The bishop pin to the knight is the most common early opening… Almost every game I play my opponent does this, and it's my least favorite move. It's more annoying than anything, and I always find a way to un-pin as soon as possible, and then punish them for daring to threaten my king or queen.
Really instructive video! I suppose the same principle applies to most moves that threaten to win pawns? Sometimes you will want to hold onto it and preserve the structure but often you can create a greater threat?
I feel like I often lose from good positions because I try to hold onto a pawn and my opponent manages to slowly improve their position while forcing me to defend.
Hey Nelson, I have a challenge for you Play a match against Martin, but "without" your Queen, and both of your Rooks. You are allowed to promote your Pawn to a Rook, but not to a Queen. Good luck!
In some of the games it would have been possible for him to kick away the opponent's bishop with his queen. So maybe there's a 7th way, or most likely that's the case, 'cause you certainly didn't analyze ALL of his games. 😉

Great video !!
My father always use this pin
How Magnus destroys pins: he just doesn't, basically.
Dude you are like a data scientist of chess. Good job! 👏
I like the organization of this
10:27
1 move checkmate for white
queen to h7
Nice work nelson!
3:18 LOL 😀
7:35 you no longer have pin on your knight. Because there is no knight 💀
There's Magnus ignoring the pin and winning and then there's me ignoring the pin and getting smothered or ending up in a fork
I've always wondered if it's a good idea to prevent the pin by playing a flank pawn??

Incredibly good video Nelson did it again! Like this video guys!!!
consider buying a new microphone
911 likes hmmm sus
thank you well appreciated! this is so good for my play.
At 9:45 doesn't queen to a4 just win the bishop? Why isn't that the best move? Genuine question, I'm not high elo.
thank you!!!
Such a useful video, great work on the research, this channel is golden
Next suggestion: how Nelson responds to hate comments
Edited: I don't know how serious Nelson analyze this. This dedication is so underrated
Sungam
I came in 1 huur late so sorry but good video that we'll help
Someone: Hey, Magnus! I pinned your knight!
Magnus: What pin?
Great analysis. Thanks 🙏
This is quite literally the video I've been waiting for…people love pinning knights and goddamn this is of a huge help
I’d say castling address the pin on the king there, rather than completely ignoring it.

Isn’t castle a response to a lik because it stops the pin
Good video.

"..and then they can much easier- much easily- ea-"

1:37 en passant opportunity
1:38 en passant declined
Interesting video and research…i usually defend, but will try to ignore it next time and will see what happens….
Very interesting study! Thanks
"How Magnus responds to gambits"
There's something weird with the microphone in this video, I can't put my finger on what it is though.
Next: how magnus breath using his nose
Don't take this seriously keep scrolling
??? : The best way to destroy pins is to destroy the opponent's king
Nice video
Bro was grinding Magnus getting pinned 💀

My favourite opening with white is the Blackmar-Deimer Gambit.
With black, it's the Dutch Defense.
I really like your videos, not only are they entertaining but I learn something with every video, thanks.
12:13 actually… he is white
Magnus' reaction to that pin:
Regards from INDIA
Nice lesson Coach
If i ignore a pin i will be checkmated in a few moves 550% of the time
