I'm now being accused of cheating after following your advice

Interesting considering how much Nelson beats on the drum of "don't just make pawn moves": In the fourth game, he started with 5 pawn moves. In the fifth game, he started with 7 pawn moves. Not saying he made bad moves. Obviously, he didn't. But it does highlight that learning the principles is only the first step. The next step is learning when to break them.

This video series: One of the few reasons I’m glad that Monday morning has come around again 😁

Thank you for the game! It wasn't my best, but at least I learned something new.

Hi Nelson! I spent many delightful hours watching your videos and it was about time to thank you.
Stay sharp, play smart and have fun!

Dont know how youre not getting more likes! Some of the best chess content on youtube!

thanks to u I have reached 1100 rating from 800 keep up good work man >❤❤

I really appreciate this series, as there are not a lot of speedruns out there with this level of explanation and detail for us a little lower rated players. Thank you 🙏🙂

Good morning y'all from Texas!

Wow, that 4th game was breathtaking. I actually applauded. What a beautiful miniature and checkmate!

As a  500 elo player, sometimes I wonder where these players are who play random pawn moves when im playing haha 😅. I feel like Im playing against the most advanced players sometimes even at my level..Always love your videos nelson, I've learnt a lot from your channel, so thank you :)

52:50 honestly, this line leading to a queen sacrifice to achieve the double knight mate would make it even better.

Love Nelson’s videos. Thank Nelson for the great work and teaching

I dont comment enough but wanted to say these are some of the best chess videos out there. Ive been slowly watching them and i dread when i finally catch up because i love them so much.

Nothing better than when the rating climb episodes are around you ELO, love the content!

The irony of needspeed losing because they moved too fast 😅 42:42

Hey i just want to say thank you for your instructive videos. I'm new to chess. I've known the rules for years, but I've always been very weak at this game. Could lose to the kid etc. Anyway, I started watching your ELO climb, I watched until your 900ish level.
Your videos gave me the courage to actually play chess with the real ppl, not just bots! I've played 7 games so far. Not many, i know, but its a real challenge to me. HR usually at 120 bpm! I lost most of them. My pride is that at these games maybe I was in defence usually, and had a counter attack here and there. But I never was crushed by my opponent! Usually it was a fight till the last pawn standing. ELO around 700. When i checked my opponents accounts, they had 2500+ games played. This means that after watching maybe 10 hrs of your videos, being a total newb I was able to cause trouble to some players which play this game for years. And my accuracy was around 80%. :)

Nelson, these videos are so valuable. Thank you for making them. I would love to see another rating climb series. Every one is unique since every opponent is different!

Yeah, nelson, that dbl kn mate was btiful

"needspeed61".. such an appropriate name. Unfortunately, that speed is only helping them blunder
