  • Finally, a video about defending! Chess lessons about attacking have become cliche that it's refreshing to see the opposite to attacking!

    I find it heartening that these comebacks can happen even at the master level. I need to improve my mindset toward losing positions.

    7:02 As an 1850 lichess, I am proud to say that I found Bd8 instantly!

    Honestly, I would find an engagement position as shown after 15:00 to be fascinating. Black is slightly up on overall material but White's king is in a slightly better position as well as having two passed pawns. Seeing how two players of Nelson's ability handling that would be very interesting, I think.

    Another great video. Whenever I watch your videos I always am impressed with how helpful they are for my improving in this game.
  • I get so excited when I see a move that Nelson missed. Of course I ignore the stress he felt due to time pressure, as well as the thousands of moves which he saw and I missed πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

    Needed this today! Just lost a game that I was hanging on by a thread for about a dozen moves. I just did not want to resign and this makes me feel better about my decision to keep defending and pressing.
