  2. Enjoying the lessons from Zambia 🇿🇲🇿🇲🇿🇲🇿🇲🇿🇲

  3. Is it okay to look for grab two against one capture powerfull ..

  4. Thank you for the video thank you for the information. Frist time viewer and obviously from what you've discussed and demonstrated, I just realized how much I don't know about chess however you just made me a better player because now I've learned a lot and excited play,. Also your video just gave me some much-needed inspiration to play.
    Thank you and a comment for your Channel

  5. I really do need more practice cause I fell for that queen retreat thing

  6. Every video you should have a different known opening on that chess board behind you

  7. I am now 1450 from 1200 coz of his tactics. Love u nelson

  8. This is absolutely fantastic I've been playing since 1996 and have read about bobby Fischer
    Garry Kasparov and read so many notations studied many developments read books of chess. This video is magic it's explanation of all the things a chess player needs information from learners, intermediate and strong players I would catergorize myself as a intermediate level , learning manuevers developing strategies, hidden attacks, pins, skewers, discovery attacks and many more and I'm still learning thankyou sooo much 🙏

  9. Really enjoy the content. So we’ll structured and all about the information. You’re my favourite YouTuber for Chess tutorials!

  10. Dude, there's more then 18. Every move equals a whole new Universe. Deep blue understood this a tad better then Garry Kasparov. Hope one day you talk about the Russian who beat deep blue. Yes the computer calculate far much better then then any human on the planet. But Garry Kasparov reminds us we can play any computer and win. Respect.

  11. Nelson is the best teacher I've heard…very clear & on point

  12. Excellent analysis but do carlenson games more

  13. pawn to e5 in the immortal game wasn't played just to get the pawn involved; the pawn is blocking the Queen from defending the g7-square, which was necessary in order to be able to play Nxg7

  14. I've been watching Gotham chess quite frequently in the past month now and your channel frequently for the past week and I can say I have retained more information from your channel than I have total from his.

  15. Can I ask what opening was played in the number 5? The opposite side castling topic…

  16. guy instead of moving the untouched pawns, sac the rook ❤

  17. The bishop in the thumbnail is telling me to kill myself now

  18. Thanks Nelson for this superb lesson. Please link to that immortal game! I'm not sure if you talk about Adolf Anderssen or Ulf Andersson… 😟

  19. So glad I found your channel, super helpful!!!❤

  20. Even with all of this, I am still lost. Lol

  21. Really appreciate ur presentation style …its to the point,easy to remember and doesn't sound overwhelming at all

  22. You are the GOAT Nelson! I really love your way of explanations. No side topics, no BS, just pure chess useful info and tactics. Keep it up this way man 👍🏼

  23. WARNING from my grandson : these principles have exceptions. Sometimes just two pieces in an attack is enough to disrupt enemy coordination, even if not enough to win material or mate. I learned this THE HARD WAY(losing to someone 200 pts lower)

  24. Can’t pawns also be attacking pieces(from my grandson)

  25. in the example game after king d2 there was Nf2 which was clearly winning if the rook moves Ne4 forks the king&queen

  26. I am a beginner, these lessons are worth gold. I also appreciate how this teacher doesn't run down the inexperienced. Thank you.

  27. 18:25

    Why can’t black get out of the check…

    by doing

    Queen to G5 (taking the knight) ???

  28. 1. Dont attack without a lead in development
    2. don:t attack without control of the center
    3. exposed enemy king
    4. basic tactics skills
    5. opposite side castling leads to attack
    6. don't attack without some advantaage first
    7. look to attack spesific weakness
    8. have/create open lines
    9. remove key defender
    10. use momentum
    11. certain openings are better for attacking players
    12. in pratice, it is easier to attack than defend
    13. you have enoigh piecestoattack
    14. use all of yout pieces
    15. sacrife multiple pieces
    16. a good attacker has courage
    17. know tge mosf common checkmate patterns very well

  29. At 28:30, Nc7 threatens to win one rook, because if not, then Nd5 wins the queen. Is that a valid option?

  30. The real chess game knowledge sharing account. Most of account just attract with sacrifice materials and win trick.

  31. Principle 17 is a good one, especially in a situation where game clock pressure becomes a factor for one or both players.

  32. My biggest crime in attacking is in my enthusiasm to forget that I'm leaving a piece or a square unguarded. I'm attacking two pieces simultaneously! What are you going to do about that, smart guy? Uh, I think you overlooked something…

  33. Seru juga nih buat diterapin saat main catur. Mengerti prinsip serangan dan konsepnya itu penting banget. Ngga heran kalo sering liat pemain hebat sacrifiecein bidak. Tapi tetep, harus hati-hati jangan malah bikin buntu sendiri, hehe.

  34. I like your channel and follow it constantly because you do a good thing. Congratulations!
    However, I see that you (like many others in fact) make a confusion between lines and columns. The lines are on the Ox axis and the columns on the Oy axis. So, the lines are on 1,2,3 … 8 and the columns on a,b …h.
    Regarding openings and advantages, I, as a correspondence chess player, can tell you 100% that if you risk a variant (which on the board would pay off based on the opponent's miscalculation) it would be disastrous in correspondence.
