Stuck at 700 ELO? Watch This. Rating Climb 697 to 743 ELO (Chess.com Speedrun)

It's amazing how calmly you play with your opponents! Simple and easy.

Nice thinking Nelson ! Your way of thinking are simply great !! 🙌🏼

Please wear a shirt🤮

My problem is not with knowing what to do. Its with moving too fast, not looking for the best move and being too absorbed in my own attack while not noticing my opponent’s attack.

Game 1: Pile up on the Pined Piece, Don't play Hope-Chess (Hoping your opponent plays a specific move).
Game 2: Try to have multiple game plans and decide for the best based on the opponent move.
Game 3: If your opponent weakens their King, look for tactics that involve a check, Rooks on the Seventh rank are very powerful midgame, lastly plans are not set in stone, as the game evolve better ideas might show up.
Game 4: Don't cramp up your positions with your own bishops.
Game 5: Take your time on critical positions.
Game 6: If you made a successful early attack, remember to go back and develop the rest of your pieces.

Thanks! Second to none in educating through a game!

PartyMullis played a solid game for the most part I have to say

I've blundered too many queens to pass judgement. 😂

You are a very good teacher

I watch a lot of chess channels but yours is my favorite. I'm scanning the board and kind of playing along and it has been super educational. Thanks for making this series. Well done!

Here we go again! In that last game, you traded your 'good' bishop for black's knight, leaving you with a very bad, light squared bishop. This move was in no way forced. So we have another example of basic positional ideas being thrown in the dustbin [ sorry, trashcan....I'm a Brit] by a master level player who, himself, has made videos about the very subject of 'good' and 'bad' bishops. Its no wonder that dorks like me get so confused about the finer points is this frustrating game!

at game one, around one minute mark in video, instead of developing bishops you would move queen a5 and check to prevent opponent castling? I'm total noob in chess so i can't see where it would lead but i just got curious and wanted to know if someone could help me, could that be viable strategy?

Stock at 350 .. complete noob

let him cook

Me feeling proud of myself for instantly seeing Nd2 when he asked where to move it.
Also me feeling kind of dumb when pointed out Nf4 could be mate in 2. Totally didn’t see that.

Thanks you .this video is helpful

Outstanding 'splaining and playing!

Thank you so much for this series! I'm learning A TON from this. Your videos are a delight to watch. You explain well and have a very calming and nice voice to listen to. Appreciation from Iceland.

I love that you play at 10 minutes. I usually play this time format because it let me think enough without making it too boring. I dont like too large matches and I hate bullets/rapids

What makes your channel so good is that you actually take lower elo games serious, clearly you're way better but still you go through these matches slowly and explain a lot. Very nice content

Excellent 👌🏾

As a beginner I have just discovered your channel. Love the pacing and level of explanation of alternative moves without all the extra fluff on some other channels, makes it really easy to concentrate on learning why moves are taken.

Me where?

He didn’t really address or talk about what was advertised in the thumbnail

Love these videos. Thank you for explaining the positions in such detail.

Super helpful thank you

always like to crush low elo

suns out gunz out

Hey, I have been learning chess for only a week now, I find this series and these videos AMAZING for beginner learning. I am not even close to this elo right now, but I am learning a ton of tactics, general ideas, and "how to think". thank you for this great series of videos, and I hope you will do another run sometime

These videos were so much higher in quality before the chat stuff. Please consider doing videos without the chat interaction, it's very distracting and pointless.

Noooo, not a muscle top!😂

this is great if you don’t face an onslaught of cheaters

Why am i so much higher rated in puzzles and the slower time controls

Am i just slow

YOU WILL CHANGE MY LIFE AT CHANGE TURNING ME FROM DUMP AGGRESSIVE CHESS PLAYER TO BECOME THE GREAT CHESS PLAYER I MUST WORK IN FOR IT AND STOP DESTROYING MY STUFFS

Did we talk about that shirt yet, though?

Really helpful analysis. The way you take all the games seriously really helps me who is climbing the elo slowly (went from 500 to 700 these last couple months)

This shit is great!!! Glad I found this!

I'm stuck at 270
