1 blunder is all it takes, falling in love with me

Knowing your kids are screaming in the background make this channel real, I love it

Nelson's ability to concentrate on chess while explaining his thoughts are so awesome!

It's amazing how complex chess is, and you can see it clearly in the video. when you explain the thought process during the game - you do a wonderful job. Thank you

1200 to 1300 players play a good game, we do about one blunder or mistake a game, and we are weakish on End games in my experience, these videos confirm this. Thanks for the great videos by a great teacher in NM Nelson Lopez. This format you use here works well for the way I learn, straight to the point, great explanations, great reviews. A lot of other youtube teachers do much faster games and quick commentary, your 10 minute full game commentary work perfect for me , keep up this format. You accent is easy to understand compared to others.

NELSON THAT SECOND GAME WAS INCREDIBLE, THAT WAS AN AMAZING GAME. HE HAD A CRAZY ATTACK ON U, U NEUTRALISED HIM, CREATED AND WON AN ENDGAME that got my heart pumping! I wish i can pull off high level gameplay like that

Your last minute of play in the second game was fascinating. Your mind works so quickly to find the right moves. I had my finger on the perpetual pause button just to keep up with your thought processes. I need end-game work LOL. Thanks for another excellent video.

Thanks for the videos. I'm learning a lot. I'm currently somewhere in the 1200 range. Knowing that even though you're roughly 1000 rating points higher and still have some close calls helps me see and realize why it's hard to improve from where I am. As they say. Chess is complicated.

You've been doing an awesome job explaining your thought process with each move on this rating climb. I'm learning a lot. Appreciate it 🤙

I could watch Chess Vibes do an ELO climb from 20 to 100 and still learn something.

I find myself doing the math every episode to find out whether this is the one you lose. Climbs +24. Average 8 per win. 3 games takes 30-40 minutes. This one’s 37 so I think the streak continues 😆😆

One of the best lessons I've learned from this is: take your time. The third game: your opponent took two minutes while you took eight. While you are taking your time explaining your moves, I still think it's safe to say you spent more time that game thinking about what to do than your opponent.

I get a twisted sense of satisfaction from watching people lose with 8 minutes left while Nelson has 20 seconds xD

wow, that brilliant knight move line was so fascinating to see. that would be a really difficult puzzle. it’s amazing how many threats there are and how it all leads to a draw by perpetual check

Chess Vibes I love love love how you go through the game afterwards. I love that. Chess Vibes your awesome and so is your video

That Bill Lippy guy was the strongest opponent we’ve seen so far in this speedrun, imo

Hell yeah 30 min Chessvibes’ vid on a Saturday! Life is good!

Going back, reviewing, and finding brilliant moves is always so interesting. Sometimes, I'm just screwing around and seeing how certain moves are mistakes by myself or opponents and I find crazy lines opponents could've played.

That was the stream of all time

At 20:00 it is stated that the opponent can achieve perpetual check mate, but one can use the bishop sacrifice to get the white queen onto a white square, and then get out of it. However, it is still a little tricky, as white can force a queen trade, and then gobbling up pawns with a rook, when they have a bishop and king protecting is tough. So probably still a stalemate.

Awesome explaining your thoughts! Thanks!

Keep up the good work!! Love it!!

‘Liked’ the video before even watching…that’s how confident I am in Nelson’s content.

Watching your Rating Climb games and listening to your comments is making me more careful and consistent, I think. Thanks. Thumbs up.

This is really instructive!!

Loving this series, keep it up! I think it would be cool if you played some longer rapid games like 15|10 or 30min? :)

Thanks a lot mate for this content

Perfect game explanation. Thanks Nelson

Nice Nelson!!!! Great content

Love these videos. they are so good.

Nice job climbing up. Keep it up

Thanks, for your amazing content of speedrun.

Last game quite funny, a 2000+ being only +1 against a 1200 before the pawn blunder.

Good games. Last game was very educational. Great recovery. What I got out of the last game. Seeing the mistake before you make it. Not easy

Love your videos thank you..i have a question. When i watch games of bobby Fischer, Magnus Carlson, and others, they sewm to use their pawns more and weapons and sacrifice and strategicly. Do you so this at more advance level or its just not your style? Do have games in which you implement them more? Is this a conscious thing? Or is the purpose of the videos to show the importance of developing your pieces? Sometimes it seems as though they are not as important but when i watch others its more like an orchestra using all the instruments where as in you exanple which are fantastic sometimes their usage seems lacking or this my perception and i am incorrect?

14:04 - White queen takes knight, black king is forced to take, rook h1 - h7 takes black king

love his streams ty nelson!! maybe one day i wont suck:)

Wow Nelson got lucky this episode Losses will happen but I do expect Nelson to win more often than not until the 2200 range Nelson, any chance you can pass this account to Hikaru once the rating gets there? It would be interesting to watch the rating climb continue, obviously Hikaru would crush but we will see start to see some draws mixed in around the 2400-2500 range

That perpetual check was crazy

Fantastic as always👍.... Great to hear a NM also has ,"I don't what to do right now" moments like the rest of us mortals but still continues on for the win!

First game 99% Nelson it's official you are a bad ass😮😊👌 loving this series Nelson it has been so educational up to now😊😊😊 and super impressive the way you win games even when u wasnt aware u was in trouble there was a big threat against u with that perpetual, fascinating perpetual though wow never seen nothing like that two peices defending the king yet still was a perpetual chess is such a deep technical game i love it the way we can use computers like we do these days to see all these obscure lines i just love it 😊😊❤

21:10 everytime I play against an opponent that plays to quickly, they just play all the right moves and end up crushing me becuase I just run out of time. It's very frustrating for me, because it feels like I'm playing against a brick wall that just know the right moves against me.

Talking about the London game, when you decide to not develop your c8 bishop early that's actually ok in a lot of d4 openings like the london or queen gambit declined where you get a Slav/French like pawn structure. The thing you have to know there is that the bishop is more like a endgame piece like a rook and it joins the fight later in the game. Because your pawn structure is pretty solid and your opponent doesn't have any decisive pawnbreaks your position is actually pretty solid even when you're behind in development.

Good work !

At 7:12 Qa5 check was very strong as it would've guaranteed some material because white mindlessly moved the Queen to d3 opening tactics... This shows that when you're focused on one side of the board you can lose focus on the other side. Great series regardless ❤

Nelson, please - play Vienna game or Vienna gambit. There are so many traps and sharp lines there so it makes for a very unbalanced, crazy games.

may i suggest post game analysis includes the evaluation bar ?

Nelson missed qxf8 14:03 what a tactic.

Nelson, could you please share your thoughts on resign vs playing till the end. I fill it's like a waste of good game with honest ending if resign. Sometimes it saves a bit of time, but... I don't see any objectively strong reasoning to resign

It was 1200 rapid that I first started regularly encountering (say 20/25% of the time) slash lines of like 2/0/0 and right around 90 accuracy in 40+ move games (while giving back the same.) Super surprised. Thought that level of play would have been well north of 1500. That last game was a giveaway by black. Of course, I don't think they're distracted with producing content. Keep up the good work. Maybe consider posting a poll for the over/under of the inevitable blemish. My apologies if you've already done this and I missed it.

He passed my current elo 😢😢(1265)

A what time do you play usually? You're reaching my elo, i want to try to play with you

6:15 Would scooping up the bishop after D1 to A5 check be a good or bad idea?

In the 2nd game all his peices were on the back rank with white having a single rook on theirs and black is still winning lmaooo😂

9:12 Ng6 pawn has to capture that Knight. And then white Queen captures that pawn... Danger zone activated for black (it seems). 13:14 as white I would go Rxf6...

20:00 "No way..." Yes, bishop E8.

I love how you say "Why are they thinking about this?" so often, and the answer is obviously, "Because they are not as good as you, and they are trying their damnedest to think about the next few moves, which is really hard" 😀

Hi Nelson sir..I wish to buy your course but as an indian am confused with payment options. Can anyone please help me??

One spoonful of blunder is all it takes!

Hey Nelson! If you get the chance can you play Evans Gambit? Love the series btw :)

@chessvibes do you do lessons?

Another awesome video well done. educating us on so many important ideas and aspects. You see alot of threats I don't see, and when you explain I see them. I also like that you play "normal" chess, so we get in positions that matters. I hope you get faced with the french defense soon, as I did not handle that well, would be cool to see you crush it :)

14:04 Opponent should have taken the knight, forcing the king away from the defense of the queen so the black rook can take white queen afterwards. Equal endgame after that

Two types of 1200s on game 1 and 2

Game 1 - ‘Player is not thinking enough.’ Game 2 - ‘Player is thinking to much.’

The second game as black was a masterclass of defending that us lower rated players struggle with Identifying threats Not hanging pieces Making sure every critical square being attacked is defended Great game, let THEM make the mistake

The london is so strong is actually cause some troubles

I was sure the best outcome for white in the last game would be a draw

Theres no mate with knight on F8 10:24

18:27 There was a Zwischenzug here: ... e4!

Stay sharp play smart

I don’t understand much of this (I’m a 900) but I do love to watch and lesson to Nelson who is the man in my book……

Where can I play this? Can I play using my phone? I'm a newbie. Tia😎👍

After Bg5, stockfish likes Na5 Bb3. Nxb3 Be3 breaking the pin

Hey Nelson, what happened to your rating climb and chess adventures? I got kind hooked to watch these every day and I am missing my dose of daily chess. I dont want to switch to sb else like Gotham or these Botez Girls because I like your style more. Would be cool if you could upload more frequent.

This guy struggling against 1200's, no wonder I'm stuck in 1150. Wow, chess is tough!

Where is the new video? There was a new Upload. Did i miss something???

99.9 accuracy crazy

another bad day to be 1200 as usual

I wonder if at 9:12 knight on f8 is a good move

Hey man when you upload new episode of chess adventure series

didn't he miss the opportunity to capture light square bishop while giving check in 2nd game?

3:08 would have knight h7 worked too? You attack the Rook and queen, and because you would lose one of the two anyways you'd win a Rook for a knight

ROOK to D1+ in the last game. Very surprised the engine doesn't rate that as an inaccuracy actually.

at time stamp 6:13 when they pulled their bishop back to A4 could you not have also played Queen A5 causing check with a fork on their bishop ? I realize you seldom pull your Queen out early, but seems like a free piece as well as possibly killing castling rights ( yes their Queen, knight and two pawns could block, but would not remove your ability to take A4 bishop for free )

33:44

3:37 why did he throw away his queen? i understand breaking the king's protection by taking the knight is bad, but surely throwing away your queen is worse? is there a forced mate im not seeing?

But there were all of them deceived, as in the fires of World Championship Magnus forged a Master Blunder. He pulled of his tactical vision, endgame skills and his intellect into it. One blunder to rule them all.

a little confused by a 1300 bot I seem to win 75% of the time yet I loose 50% of the time to 400 level live opponent

24:09 just a random time

14:04 Opponent missed Qxf8 haha 🤣

Play an aggressive evans gambit next time.

The London is so solid. Opponent rated -1000 got a winning position with over 80% of their time remaining.

Can you plays d4 c5 sometimes?

why wasn't g6 a good move for the second game?

14:05 wait is there qxf8 kxf8 rxh7?

Notice all these intermediates who make one or two blunders per game finish with a lot of time on their clock? It would suggest they should use more of their time to check things more carefully.

That ain’t a blunder that’s a red brilliant

3:05 what if white plays Nh7

One Blunder Is All It Takes... How Long Until The Blunders Break? (also why is there super mario on the tv in the background)
