Nc5 intuitively made sense to have a 2nd attacking piece in range for checks, and then it's also easy to visualize the repetition. But the 2nd knight move was much trickier.
-
what if black sacs the queen to take out the knight at 6:19. When white takes back the king is not in check and black has a move?

I learn 10x more from Nelson, than others because Nelson wants to teach while they just loosely commentate on their own games without revealing their prep work. Thank you Nelson

Moral:- Just give checks because you may checkmate, draw in most of cases. π

Hi Nelson. Just wanted to say how much Iβve been enjoying your content on this channel. Iβve been watching many of your videos over the past six months and got back into playing chess as a direct result, improving my lower-mid rating and simply getting better over time. You explain things clearly and keep it entertaining too. Figured if I left a comment on one of your most recent videos, you were more likely to see it. :) Thanks for everything you do, youβre very good at it.

Puzzle finally!!!!!

Kinda reminiscent of Fabi vs Nepo game 14 at the candidates with the knight and queen going for a draw
-
At the 5:14 mark would have been good to analyze the queen takes knight as it's not immediately obvious the draw in that scenario. Since the white queen to e4 wouldn't put black in check and could do like pawn to h1 and then king to c2?
-
Hi Nelson have you played any of the chessdivers? Scanner was a walkover, now I'm mustering the courage to play Fighter. Later: Fighter ain't so tough.

3. Qa7+ also works
-
6:19 Ahem Ahem! This Woman is coming out.
-
2:35 Anything wrong with ...Qa8+ followed by promoting the h pawn? Happens several times in the video, where you suggest a less forcing queen move for black instead of checking and promoting.
-
Knight e4β¦ I think even if you take with queen immediately black could win. Not entirely sure; that one isolated pawn could create trouble.
-
I dont understand what is stopping the queen from taking the knight on e4 when the king is on e3?
-
the highlight of this puzzle was black's king walks around the white's knight while being checked by white's queen!
-
I thought knight to e5π
