One of Nelson's real strengths is his conciseness and organization. No rambling. That was a LOT of content in that 30 min. Thanks Nelson!

Every time I search for something new to add to my understanding of chess I find myself clicking on Chess Vibes. Nelson seems to honestly be trying to share and teach tactics, strategy, and an understanding of the game. He is not trying to entertaining, to be funny, to be goofy - all of which I find annoying and distracting. He is striving to be informative and helpful. This game is hard, complicated, and tricky to play well. Nelson never promotes himself, gives false promises or quick fixes. He is like a good friend who is simply a way better player and he tells you what you need to work on to get better. I have played over 300 games in the last few months and this video is my favourite so far. Thanks man.

11:40 . This clarified so much as to why I see GMs not take strong pieces when you are simply moving a pawn to take it. Chess is so simple but so complex at the same time. I don't understand the defense and counter side and reading what your opponent is trying to do. I simply think of attack. This is a great video.

great lesson for intuitive players... I get tired of so many videos that requires you to spend 80 hours analyzing variations for a specific line. This lesson is great for when your opening goes way off and you are trying to figure out how to swing the game your way !! Thanks!!!

I've only recently discovered your channel, it has to be the most underrated chess channel on YouTube. Thanks for all this great content and amazing advice

[kevinheinrich]

These principle videos are insanely useful! And seem maybe unique to your channel. Keep it up!!

#13. Have enough pieces
I like Rozman Rule for this one. Have two more attackers than the opponent has defenders

[tarsem]

my goodness the amount of value you give to your viewers is insane!

[darrylkassle]

“All those things combined and we ...WE ARE JUST WINNING YEAH”- For some reason as true as that was I found it very funny!! Almost like he was convincing himself
As per usual another practical real world chess video. Nelson just goes from strength to strength

[pacunnet]

[moniqueheubel]

Wow- just -wow. I love the way you organize your ideas and explain them in away that just clicks for me.

[nicoscarfo]

Your videos have helped my game out a lot, especially the 23 checkmate patterns, I've used all of them before but never knew there were names for each pattern

[andrewmays]

Love your positive attitude and very proactive tesching style. You are definitely one of the finest chess advocates and instructors on the internet. Thank you ! Keep up your great work!!😇

[layschips]

Your videos are incredibly helpful! I love these type of videos that cover a broad subject that isn't just for very niche uses and I can apply them to every game

[Jamsville]

Great video! really enjoy lessons that give you more general concepts to look out for, which is a lot easier than trying to memorize complex lines.

Paul Morphy is good to study for attacking. Morphy was considered genius because he simply understood development and initiative were even more important than material.

[andypitz]

I’ll watch this repeatedly and watch my rating and enjoyment level rise. Thanks Nelson

[shanefell]

Watched a couple of your vids now. Probably the best I’ve seen for anyone up to my level (2100)
You squeeze a lot of valuable info that’s easily understandable into each minute. It’s the way you communicate. Good stuff mate

[ajarnray]
