I totally understand you can't always make longer videos and I hope you can always just keep doing what your best at because this is fine for me too.

Always love you humility and your willingness to say "Oh wow I missed that one" or "Ah, my calculation was a little off". It makes someone who is around 1200 happy to know that little things do still go wrong for the big players. Thank you for this series you're amazing for doing this!

You mentioned Levy’s openings. I swear that dude plays openings like a 2700 and then shits is pants and forgets how the pieces move when he gets nervous in the middle game.

12:22 isn’t Qxe7 mate here? Thoroughly enjoying this series, Nelson. Stay sharp!

I'm really enjoying this series and learning a lot. This is the best rating climb series I've seen recently. The small changes as you increase elo are fascinating.

Thank you for making a longer vid! Always enjoy these ones, but they are always really good

Missed mate in 1 at 12:18

After watching your games I went on a 8 game no loss streak (with the exception of one 10 minute rapid game) thanks to you. I really appreciate your videos, and I hope you keep posting them.

In the first game you missed a mate-in-one! Spoiler: Instead of taking the Bishop on h8 you could've played Qxe7++

a6 is a great idea! It reminds me of all the queen traps when you have a poisoned pawn on g2 and b2 or mirrored on g7 and b7 and you push the flankpawn one square first so when they take the poisoned pawn and you attack the queen she can't dodge the attack by moving to the square where you pushed the flankpawn since the file is no longer blocked off by your own pawn. She can just get taken by the rook

" I wonder if there's a checkmate for me here... " Well, you missed a mate in one a couple of moves earlier lol. If there's a mate in one, just grab a bishop. 😅

In many ways I find this speedrun more educational than something from Levi or even Naroditsky because the tactics are easier to see and wr get to see actual blunders that could cost the game, but also seeing that not everyone will identify such blunders. Nice work it's great learning from this channel!

I started to watch your speedrun when I was 1027 and this account was also 1027. Now I'm 1260, trying to be ahead of you :)

Thank you for the longer videos.

Hey Nelson play bongcloud attack in the next video for fun :) 😂

Bro don't stop making videos love ur vids

Chess games are enjoyable and glad I learned about the tempo gain strategy 🎉

12:20 - mate.

That was an amazing force checkmate! I can’t believe you say it from so far away with 25 seconds!

Great content Nelson.

Loved that last game! So fun

Keep up the good content, Nelson. Can I put in a request for the Wing Gambit on the next Sicilian?

35 minutes is great length for these videos if you’re able! Love the content either way!

"The plan is to make good moves". Damn, that's what I've been doing wrong, lol.

Good lesson. The a6 move in second game allowing rook to checkmate is good to know about sacrificing a pawn for victory.

I can't believe I saw that mate in one and you missed it. Made my day. 😅😅

12:20 missed a checkmate brush queen to e7 is mate

Nelson, you're basically the only chess content creator I still watch, and thanks to your teaching I beat a 2200 lichess blitz rated player (equivalent to about 2100 chesscom blitz)! He berserked so technically not "completely" fair, but 5min vs 2.5 odds is good enough for me. I was technically losing for most of the game, but I played a very nice bishop sacrifice and because they didn't play the only move that kept advantage, I got a winning position (they played second best move, went to -1 from +4), forcing them to burn all their time to defend against a brutal attack, and then I just flagged them. I could even have won "fairly" if I spotted a rook infiltration (I would literally have won their queen), but I was also running short on time and saw playing for a flag is probably the safer option because I didn't spot that move. Thank you so much for these!

13:27 if u check with bishop and he take it's mate in 1

I freaking love this series

Nelson, please don't play with my feelings like that. I thought you had lost a game 😂

You are one of the best teatchers on Chess here on youtube. By the way, do you eat fresh garlic? That is amazing for your health. Also drink one glass of water before you go to bed and two glasses as soon as you wake, it helps prevent blot cloths .

I’m 54 years young and have zero patience. I love chess and I’m not so great at it. However, after watching your videos, I’m playing is MUCH improved. I’m winning about 15-20% more games and I’m getting better. I’m not a Diamond member yet but soon. My IMPROVED record: 50-38-3. Thanks for the help.

Why did you not show the full game review?

20:25 yo I think you could’ve played b5 because if queen takes then c6 and you attack the queen and threaten knight c2 and if pawn takes b5 then knight c2. Btw maybe c6 is better idk but I just noticed that.

I have a question about your use of tools like zto kfish

Damn I wish I could see trades that fast.... Any pointers for an 800 to get better board vision?

Hey Love your videos! At 20 mins you could have sacrificed a pawn on B2 blocking the check from the queen-forcing a move- Then you could’ve played horsie to C2 taking the rooooooooook :)

26:00 Long castle so you can still defend the queen, and if they don't take, you get a knight and a rook!

Nelson is doing his Levy impressions in his thumbnails.

Missed M1 at 12:21 😭

Wow two awesome games

Nelson didn't saw checkmate in 1.... In first game

There was a checkmate in one move video timing 12.21. Q h7 to e7#. Shreshth.

You're around my range now. When do you play usually? Maybe we will get matched up!

The first game - queen to e7 is chekmate.. why did you take the bishop insted ?

i write this comment before i start watching this video got to tell u nelson dont rly care about guys who want smaller video... if they cant see the whole video at once just pause it and continue later wtf... i ve done it dozen of times cuz i had somewhere to go or sth to do etc etc...lately i ve gotten new job and only thing i ve been watching with the exception of the last days were ur videos... then it was sleep or go out with friends... i dont need smaller videos :P and if some1 does they can always watch it in time...

The whole point of putting your c pawn there in Sicilian is to take d pawn, yet people come up with new "variations" when they don't do that.

Can you play queen's gambit please? Thank you for your videos!😊

You missed mate in the first game after d6

Do you think you should change Peter-Patzer now to Average Joe?

i think at 11:00 you had a queen trap woth Nc6 but idk

At 12:20 isnt queen e7 just checkmate? Am i missing something?

Great series 💯🔥

Great video but I prefer your regular thumbnails. I’d really like if you didn’t start having Gothamesque thumbnails haha That said thanks for the video! Appreciate the long form content : )

22:14 cant you play Bxe4 because after Nxe4 you have follow up fork d2?

12:21 Qe7# miss

22:56 why couldn’t you take e4? If Knight takes bishop after taking e4, don’t you have a fork with the king and rook after pushing pawn to d2?

WHEN TO USE ROOK LIFT BROTHER PLEASE MAKE A VIDEO ON IT

In 1st game instead of Qxh8 play Qxe7# he missed mate in 1

didnt you miss mate in 1, queen to e7??

11:21 Why couldn't black play E5, blocking the attack on the bishop, and attacking the bishop at the same time, leaving the knight and the bishop hanging, if white takes takes the rook, they take the bishop, and that knight is getting won, being trapped, and black gets a bishop and a knight for a rook and 1 pawn?

33:33 why is Rxf3 a blunder

Why isn't it Mate at 31:00 . The time counts down still

Why take black bishop when there is mate

Checkmate on 12:22 ?

9:10 why f6 instead f5

greattt

12:20 isn't Qe7 is just a checkmate ?

How did you lose 20 games playing as Peter-patzer ?

On minute 12:23 you missed mate in one on qe7

12:22 u missed a checkmate here….

I love the explanations of your whole thought process. It helps loads, thanks 🙏

Edit. Nevermind, other viewers noticed you missed mate in one.

Bro missed so many checkmates in the first game

You missed chechmate

I'm just saying... play lower elo, play lower games. I'm a low elo, but a few fun Martin games and I can't beat my elo as easily lol

Thrid

Fifth I gues

Second

I hate when he says "I'm trying to remember what's the move here" instead of actually playing chess

2nd 😂

First

fourth

dont analyze so much and you wont be in time trouble

Oh no! I always unsubscribe when the inevitable shocked face thumbnails start appearing. So long.
