Wow so many sacrifices, queen traps, hidden forks and all of the good stuff in this line.

I really like your series, because you not only move pieces but provide in depth explanations on the ideas behind each of the possible moves. 🙂

So funny when there is a German word all out of a sudden, especially when you're German :D almost the right pronunciation, good job Nelson!

[kites]

Hi Nelson!
First things first, I've got to say your channel is brilliant. I find it to be the most instructive among the many that are there. Very clear and spot on.
I'm actually following the book Logical Chess, and I believe it's a great great book. I'm learning so much from it. Still, it's clear to me how a master like you is able to really get the most out of a book like this. I mean, I get everything but on a surface level, I guess. It's so powerful to follow the book, and at the same time follow you as you go through it.
I was wondering if you could add the number of the game you're covering in the title of the video, so it'd be easier for who is reading the book to catch up.
Thanks for your great help I'm learning so much.
What a game this was, by the way!
Cheers from Italy

Picked up chess recently and your videos have been really helpful. Thank you!

7:30 white only lost a knight, if white finds Ne5 counter attack on the queen.
9:35 Qh4 keep an eye on that h7 pawn and prepare to play bishop g5 and trade the knight off. even if black plays h6, just sac the dark square bishop and bring the knight to g4
13:30 white don't want black to trade the bishop for the knight right? because after exd5, Qh6. nvm I can't find what going on
15:40 sac the queen and play Bh7#
16:10 dxc4 is the best move. apparently black can sac their queen and it is still +2.3 for white but its the best move
19:50 Qh6?

It’s not massively relevant to chess, but in the book the author commented on how Philidor says in Chess Analysed in 1791 that- and then goes on to talk about how Philidor’s spelling wasn’t right. He was saying this because he would write using a medial s. For those interested, a medial s is a very old version of the lower case s. S as we now know it used to be its own capital form, much like how many other capital letters are completely different to their lower case forms today. But eventually the rules started changing around lower case s, and it started being used in the middle and end of words. Eventually with the advent of the printing press, it became more efficient to have one key for s instead of two. And soon after, the medial s died. There was nothing wrong with Philidor’s spelling, he was just using an antiquated form of speech which seems odd today. It was an interesting foot note!

[NJDJ]

Ohh nooo Nelson didn't misspell Mistkae anymore!

The queen traps were interesting to watch!

@ 21:15 I looked at both Ne6 and Re6, but was surprised to see Re6 was better. I thought Ne6, fxe6, Bxg6 looked good. Checkmate is still defended but I thought there might be a way using the rook on e1. What is the line Ne6 would initiate? Is it still a decent idea, or is it a mistake?

[narendrasandu]

This is such a great video. Thank you for making this, how can I improve such tactics and calculation ? Is it about practising a lot of puzzles, reading chess books or just practice playing match. I can’t think of playing this way 😢😂
