Plot Twist: You were winning each time and stockfish lied about the mate in 7 to trick you

"As long as I don't get checkmated, I should be just fine."

Impressive chess analysis.

Nelsi: Our pawns will block out the sun!
Stockfish: Then we will fight in the shade!

[godwincornelius]

nelsi: *pushes a pawn*
the fish: mate in 32.
nelsi: *pushes another pawn*
the fish: mate in 18

Idea for similar type challenge: Reverse the situation so you are playing as the pieces and Stockfish as the mass pawns, and take away a pawn from Stockfish each time you lose.

"As long as I don't get checkmated (...) we should be fine" That's the chess insight that keeps us coming back😉

7:52 Bro be like “20 point advantage!” Forgot to remove other stuff lol

[danielyuan]

Every pawn you add, the evaluation increases by about 2.5, so a pawn is worth about 2.5 pawns.

I'm only half-way in, but I feel like your first move should be moving the king instead of pawns. That forces your opponent to play into your pawn line and gives you material without leaving pawns hanging so much? Besides, it makes it far better for later in the game, as your King can be on the safe side of the board while you attack with the other side.

That is not stockfish. You are playing the top level of komodo dragon.

I love the point were Nelson realizes that he left the back row pieces in the 3rd game 🤣

Made me laugh hysterically for hours...

[ianmilliken]

15:24 I believe you could’ve moved to g6 and won if you just hadn’t tried to get a queen

Let's add the pawns, then forget to remove the pieces, then be amazed at the +22 evaluation. 😆

Honestly, I'd have forgotten to remove the pieces too if I was trying to recover from a browser crash. It's just funny that this is how the ensuing game played out.

[TibiaOTarena]

The evaluation bar is such an help, but it makes the video more entertaining as well so it's hard to complain

[NoFontNL]

I would have liked to see what the mate in 7 would have looked like instead of immediately skipping to the next game, because it is kinda fascinating that there is a forced checkmate in such a large number of moves

[xCrysTL]

I'd like to see you do more of these challenges in the future! They are really entertaining.

9:07 i think at least a few of us didnt see it too

[onlyapawn]

8:43 lmao just watching you and waiting for you to notice all your pieces at the bottom really cracked me up.

@16:57 - I've never heard it said before that "King takes Queen" is a blunder. I've also never heard the phrase "checkbait me" @17:13.
