28:05 Re1 would've just been mate straight away, right?
I'm currently rated about 1400 in rapid, and even at the rating of this game, I am learning so much. Thanks for this series!
It's crazy how well ca_dis played. Makes me scared to climb to 600
13:15 black should have forked your bishop and knight instead of taking the pawn with the rook?
2:49 Instead of forcing the white bishop to trade, you could have moved the knight back to d5, and then threatened to trap the bishop on the next move.
Best educational chess video I have ever watched. New fan and subscriber๐
If he attacked your Q with the knight, check with the room, then after he captures with the Q, take the pawn with check then win his knight.
The Scandinavian and the Icelandic gambit were really good. ๐๐ผ
You are great I got 2000 rating because of you
12:55 what a fork
This is the best playlist I've seen. I'm now playing just like Peter-Patzer and loving it!
I like how you just spotted a 4 move tactic Iโd never see in a hundred years ๐
2:20 why not move the knight and get the trapped bishop for free?
2:09 ouch!
Goldmine series. Thanks Nelson
Your content is the best and this series is awesome. Thank you for all the hard work you put in, it has helped my chess game a ton!!!
Thanks for another lesson!
Stop making such great videos!! Iโm supposed to be working.
Damn I learned so much as a 1300 player, thanks
Thanks Nelson awesome instructive and helpful appreciated ๐
Great work explaining your thinking as you play! Super easy to follow and very clear and logical.
Good vid mate
So I think we need Bobby fisher and Average Joe as another climb series so the 3 can reach GM status
Thanks!

i think you should've played Bc5 instead of Bb4
it's a natural looking move that hopes to play Bxc4 and the idea is that if white takes back on c4 with the pawn you use a decoy tactic with Bxf2 and after king takes you have Qxd1
the whole theoretical line would be:
Bc5, Bf4
Bxc4, xc4
Bxf2, Kxf2
Qxd1
12:36 black d5 forking knight and bishop
10:10 these were two free rooks actually
can you check my game please
1. g4 e5 2. Bg2 d5 3. Nh3 e4 4. f3 exf3 5. exf3 Nc6 6. f4 Nd4 7. c3 Bxg4 8. cxd4
Bxh3 9. Bxh3 c5 10. dxc5 Bxc5 11. Nc3 d4 12. Ne4 Qd5 13. Nxc5 Qxh1+ 14. Bf1 Nf6
15. Qa4+ b5 16. Qxb5+ Nd7 17. Nxd7 O-O-O 18. Ne5 f6 19. Nf7 Rd5 20. Qc6+ Kb8 21.
Nd6 Re5+ 22. fxe5 Qxc6 0-1
If you could please show some classy games from top rated opponent it would be better than beating these nonsense rats.
White just missed a fork after you did castling here 34:37
21:00 You should've played the crazy Nxc6! Would've been a fun tactic!
Question, are viewers going to get the opportunity to play Peter Patzer? I'm ~830 rated and think it would be a fun experience
Love this series thx Nelson ๐ ๐ ๐
Regarding the Na5 line at 15:15 you could have played rook e8 check. After Qe8+ white has Qd5+ check winning the knight on a5.
Hey Nelson it was me asking for the Scotch thanks!
17:45 I think better idea is play first Re6 and then Qg6+
Very instructive, thank you! If you're willing, I'd love another endgame-focused episode :)))
10:15 Nd3+ is !? moves.
Play the ruey lopez spanish game
I can't tell you enough how so educational this series is!!! Thank you Nelson, I'm learning so much!
20:29 knight take knight
I like this chilled series wirh good explanations. Thanks ๐
very nice video Nelson. Love this series!
Thank you master! The way you explain the moves is excellent! I will recommend it to my students!
You should try the Englund gambit and show how it can be tricky in low elo.
Man Chess Vibes is crushing it
He would have a good chance against these players with rook odds
10:29
Isnโt Qh2+ Kf3 Qf2# mate in 2?
Can't get any better having a video every morning when I wake up is perfect gets me started for my day
Thinking a 600 rated player knows en passant… lol ๐
you missed bishop take rook at time 1:51
