It was a pleasure getting to meet you and I had a blast playing chess against you! Thank you Nelson! 😊

difference between "ok, so he played" and "oh god, he played"

I appreciate that Nelson and opponent verbalize their thought processes. This format has been the most helpful in my chess game.

"he played that kind of fast; I wonder what mistake I made" -- you just took his piece; of course he's going to take right back.

Every opponent in this series: (repeatedly) "I'm really nervous that he's a NM... " Approach: 1. Think through 60 secs of many different options of moves, including some good ones 2. Play some other random (avg quality) move after literally 3 seconds of thought

Honestly props to your opponent for not resigning even when he knew it was lost. Many people around 1000 will blunder even in winning positions and you can turn the game around. Obviously less of a chance Nelson will blunder than a 1000, but still a good habit

28:15 This moment 😂

VERY interesting! I. too. play the London and am about the very low 4 digit rating, but usually play the N before the light squared B-seems to create a different structure, I also recall c4 being a move that you considered as being the best. Thanks to both of you

That was a joy to watch. I wish there was a view after to show what was the main errors, and full credit to the 1000 rated player.

oh man... it hurt my heart when he blundered that rook

At 42:12 Rg1+ Ka2 Rc1 wins the knight by force. Both of white's defensive resources that stopped the idea in the past no longer work

loving this series

These videos are very instructive. They are very helpful. Thank you. Please keep making these videos

I really love these thought process videos you are making Nelson. I would love to see the same thing but you vs a GM. When you’re showing your thought process you seem like a genius, it would be interesting to see it picked apart too! Keep up the great content.

This was awesome! Great content.

Nice. Still loving this series.

@28:15 I mean it's either A-pawn for Kings safety or your rook to get away from the bishop threat!

I think he should have taken that bishop at the beginning. Immediately he saw that his London was uncomfortable for him. My advice to him is to play alot of London games against the computer. And analyse them. Maybe a good excersize for him would be to remove a piece from the computer and play the London against it. And try to win. Then, every time he loses, he should analyse the game, then go back remove another piece from the computer and repeat the whole process.

It's kinda crazy that he's never castled queenside in the London.

OMG, I loved that match. NetChessNChill was so funny and fun to watch. This is how so many of my games end. Oh No, Run! Run! 😂

The opponent was a pretty cool guy

I love this format!!

YES! Another video in this series makes for a great day every time.

Having played the London as white, that was just painful to watch. White should consider trading the bishop and opening up the h file as an opportunity. Next time try sliding the Queen to c2. If Black castles King side, you have immediate pressure on h7. And, if Black castles Queen side, you are already lined up with Black's king on the c file. This also defends against the popular attack against the pawn on b2. Best of all, this move does not interfere with any of your normal London development.

Hey there Nelson. I can't seem to find the video where you link the survey for what people would like to see taught next on the channel, so I'll just leave it here: I never quite seem to know what to do with my bishops in the opening. Knights you just chuck forward and they always seem Ok. As for bishops, just moving them one space always feels weird as nothing really changes other than you release the back rank. Moving them 4 spaces seems super easy to kick out by just advancing pawns, and moving them 2/3 spaces just jams them with pawns and knights in the center of the board. Fianchettoing them feels even worse as they end up with nowhere to go, it's just pawns blocking as far as the eye can see. It's like you're doing a presentation and you never know what to do with your hands, everything is weird or clunky or awkward lol I always end up moving them semi randomly and pretty much every time without fail it's an inaccuracy or worse when looking at the review. So yeah

Definitely was winning after the bishop-rook exchange, not sure how many moves back it would have to go to avoid it, as a pawn was hanging on the other side.

It would be great if you play against heigher rated opponent than you so that we can get their thinking process also. Btw nice content

Simply play c5 the reverse queen‘s gambit

Gotta respect his stream titled journey to 1.2k rather than sth clickbaity like road to GM

1000 i learnt are like robots in positional play

Nothing like bishop hitting your rock ...feel ya great game

I like playing G4 in this structure to threaten the knight

I love you find people in couple of days to play chess 🎉🎉

Great videos lately nelson, My rating is up 2x :D

gg for the low elos

Where is the Chestvibes content????

Try Lichess

27:14 What about Rh5 ?

Could you please play a strong opponent, like a 1900?

Hello all

The first obviously stupid move was Bg3, losing a tempo and doubling the pawns. Why not just play Bxd6? The 1000 player didn't even consider it. Then he worries about where black's queen will move after f4 while making no effort to figure it out. Then it takes him just a few minutes to completely forget that his rook is under attack. And this guy isn't helping himself or anyone else by repeating over and over how terrified he is. Jeez, just play chess.

This whole game had zero tactics. I think the double attack by the queen was the only one. How did that happen lol.

1000k on the dot is crazy

I really love this style! Keep it up!

Always play en passant. It's the brilliantest move in the game

Second

So hard to listen to netchessnchill with the spit moving with his words…. 🙄

I hate this game....nothing makes me angrier than this game..I constantly get opponents that just take as many pieces as they can with their queen with no tactics or strategy...just steal anything and everything... I literally cannot learn or get better playing people with childish gameplay
