No, I can't. That's why I always blunder.

I didn't predict the blunders. I thought they're best moves.

Perfect zero

0 out of 6, but I compensated by making 6 blunders in my next game 😂

Almost all of these openings involve a knight going to d2/d7/e2/e7 instead of the typical c3/c6/f3/f6, which results in their king and/or queen being boxed in and exposing themselves to tactics. Very instructive.

I always saw some parts of the follow-ups for the other player, but couldn't anticipate the exact blunders.

I thought Nc6 would be played in the first one allowing the fork and the queen trap. That one is too obvious I guess.

Love this video concept! Definitely more of these.

I would’ve enjoyed this more if I was given the move, and had to figure out *why* it was a blunder

More of that please, it's super entertaining!

Great video Nelson! Very enjoyable and informative.

This is a nice exercise, it's actually really hard to consciously look for blunders. I found only #5 (but I did see the follow ups for a few more after seeing the blunder).

I only got one right (#4) As an ICBM player myself, I immediately spotted the similarity.

1/6. These were really tough, and definitely a good way to improve your chess-vision! More of this please.

This is hilarious thats the type of content i cant find elsewhere

0:52 (puzzle 1) : I predict Nc6, natural looking developpement move but hangs a fork.

Nice video 👍 like your stream alot and look at them almost every time 🙏

Got three correct.. Thx! Loved the last one..

Found only the fifth one (and even in that case wasn't able to follow all the lines - just saw that it's a bad idea to trap one's king like that, but not the exact followup). Nice collection, thank you!

Funny that out of 6 I only see the 5th one. Not because I can analyze correctly but because I literally fall for it myself

Nice video. I got 3 of them. More videos like these would be awesome. Good to know even good players can make these blunders.

On the first one I thought he would develop a knight blocking the queens vision blundering a fork but then you hit me with that 💀

Wow, that was really hard, those sacrifices are really really hard to see

How can a good move be a blunder? Watch these 6 games from Nelson. Just amazing..thx for sharing Nelson!

I only found the initial blunder on #4, but after you showed us the other games' blunders I found the rest of the sequence in three others.

Finally, a chess video featuring my greatest strength!

I'm thrilled that this guy makes cool content. Let's support him with a like👍. Thank you😉

Almost every single one of them had a brilliant move like that’s crazy!

Useful to remember when playing expecially rapid and blitz😊

I totally got them all right 😂

The last position is particularly interesting as it has caught out a number of good players, including at least 4 recent Titled Tuesday games. The best known player to have fallen for it is Robert Byrne during the 1946 US Open.

That trap in the Fajarowicz version on the Budapest works equally well for...Nf3 or a number of other moves.

I understood the one where he boxed the king. I had no idea what the follow-up was, but I knew it was bad. 1/6 for the 500 rated!

I always intuitively felt like blocking very early with the knights in the center would be a bad idea.

In the first one I was the fork but I didn’t realize there was a potential queen fork with that beautiful pawn move. I was thinking threaten the queen immediately with the green bishop and then fork the rook

Really would like to play some rapid, blitz or bullet with you sometime

I love people back in the day played wacky stuff even with correspondence game😂

problem #2 was like i. didnt see that move coming tho!

This puzzle was really hard. I was already prepared to find nothing at all, as I was lucky enough to see the last one.

I appreciate Nelson for providing useful chess knowledge without trying to be a rockstar

at 3:10 i think Qh4 imediately is also really good cuz it threatens mate and pins the pawn to the rook

Sup, man! Got here early! Thanks so much for your videos, they help a lot! ❤

lets not think about the blunders, but about the moves that the other person found to win

Oh I see it now, the white bishop comes in to help.

@Chess Vibes @4:53 If white moved the knight to e4 there would be d2 square for king to run away.... Right?

For the second problem, I knew the answer because I saw ChessTalk's video about the Lazard Gambit...

5/6 nice puzzles 😀

The thing is you have to spot these tactics in the making to counter I’ve fallen for that fourth one where after Bishop checks king Queen takes Queen my opponent tried the second time as well but I didn’t let it happen that game

I looked for 15 seconds for each positions: 1) Gussed white's trap, but not black's move 2)✅ 3)❌ 4) Same as 1st 5)✅ 6)✅

Same here, In the first position I thought the blunder was Qc6 due to the followup with Bb5. But apparently I was only half right.

can you do another ratings climb series please?

I saw the first puzzle idea however the first thing that popped into n my mind was Qc6

I didn't find the blunders, but I found 5/6 of responses to the blunders 😂😂

Just got done watching your sleep video. Couldn't sleep because right at the end, I was yelling at my phone, hoping you'd see the queen skewer. Definitely a suspicious account. Took a long time to make obvious moves.

I got two, the first and last. In the fourth puzzle I saw that b2-b4 would be a terrible move because it would allow black to play Qf6 forking the rook and mate on f2, but that was apparently too much of a blunder to be the correct solution.

On problem #3, can’t you just move a knight for an escape square?

Last time I was 1700 but my rating decreased to 1600. What is the reason due to that? Is there any way where I can improve my rating? Sir

Only got the 5th one just because I saw a similar problem in a line I looked at.

I didn't "get" any - in that my blunder was the same as the one played in the game. But on problem 2, I said f3, which loses to a similar tactic as h3. On problem 4, there are any number of natural looking moves which fail to the same Nf2 attack (I think h3, Nf3, f3, e3, for example). I suppose g3 loses an extra pawn so its technically the worst. Excellent video, by the way, you have a gift for posting original types of chess content without ever being gimmicky. Keep up the good work!

I predicted all 6 . . . incorrectly (had you for a second 😂).

Looks like knight on the second or seventh row and not pushing the middle pawns out makes it easy to get your king or queen trapped.

2/6 but i only really saw all the moves in the first one, didn't see how it was checkmate after the bishop move in the last one

I got Bg7 on the final position only because it seemed like the most obvious next move for black. Couldn't find the follow-up for why it was bad unfortunately

It was so hard but I solved 1 and last

The first and third blunders aren't what most people would have possibly moved (They made their pieces harder to develop after those moves even if their opponents didn't find the correct moves)

Последнюю решил наполовину) ходы все сделал за белых правильно, вот только то что там можно мат поставить не нашел)) спасибо.

I got 1 or 2 but I'm not that good any more if I ever was. But I do enjoy the opportunity to ponder them a bit.

The last one I know for own experience :-)

I got 2 right but got 1 of the follow ups wrong and 1 I guessed based on what they last played

Blundering is an art form for me. Played a game the other day where my opponent hung his queen and I just completely blanked on that fact. I ended up winning by capitalizing on my opponents blunders as well, but I had no clue I did until I was looking at the post game eval. When I saw the huge swing in my favor, i had to look back to see what the move was that would have swayed the game in my favor. I try hard, but if blunders are currency, I am a rich man.

3.5 got 3, 5, and 6 saw black's idea in 4 but assumed it was Nf3 trying to develop and defend against Qh4 and Qf6. 1 I assumed Nc6 blundering the fork after accidentally underfunding the square. 2 I spent several minutes trying to analyze why Nf3 was a blunder after #1 made me realize the mistakes are more complicated than I thought at first and obviously couldn't find anything (Stockfish doesn't love the move but definitely agrees it is okay), only to find out white played a move I would have never remotely considered.

Great Queen trap but that takes a bit of planning 2nd one I would’ve reacted once that knight entered my side of board yeah but that third one if you move a piece next tithe king to let the king escape to white square that Queen blunder in fourth example is actually a trick many players try

I saw the tactic in Problem 4!! I'm proud of myself 😅 The blunder was any move that didn't address the threat

I once played the 2nd trap

I figured out the last one because i figured out he was trying a King's Indian Defense (My favorite black opening), so i just had to ask what i would've done here lol

For the second game I thought f3 was a solid move 😂

Got 5/6 because I said Nf3 instead of g3 but I think both were blunders.

got the 2 last ones

I had each of the blunders considered in my top 3 options, but didn't actually get any of them right.

I only predicted 2 blunders but I saw all the ideas before they were revealed, pretty cool

I think there's a way to survive but I don't know if it's good enough to survive moving your black square knight somewhere else

Wow great opening

Yeah, I saw all of these except five of them.

Technically 6/6, because on the first I had Nf6 (pretty much identical) and on the fourth f3 to attack the knight, both moves still run into the continuation. Bit tough to anticipate exactly what wrong idea goes through the opponent's mind 😂. On the other positions they were the worst moves. Interesting, a lot of these motifs are from openings I play or have played in the past. The Bxf7-Ng5 combo is dangerous in the Modern or Sicilian, Ng4-e3 and Ne4-xf2 are Budapest motifs, I lost terribly once after the fork trick with Bxf7+? (it's really not a good counter, Black's king is fine if they know what they're doing and play d5 which my opponent did). The only real novel one was the queen trap, but Qa5-c5 is relatively uncommon so early.

Only got #5 correct because my instinct was to try to protect the king from future checks

5:18 why doesn't it work to go Nf3 or something? give the king an escape square? I guess it would still be majorly bad, since the king would be out in the open and there's probably a checkmate, but it is another option surely...

*Uses worstfish*

in the 3rd problem what if we play nf4? someone pls tell me what's wrong with this move

Cool challenge! Those blunders are particularly seductive since they appear to be normal moves.

2/6. Got the first two, then flunked the rest xD

5:00 wouldn't Ne4 also work? (ie stops checkmate and loses knight)

thanks

I think no. 1 is Either ne7 or qf2

Congrats if you solved all 6... Dude... What do you mean?!😂

I feel like I got a -1 on correctness. All these players would have whooped me.

I only got 1, and that was the king blunder to either checkmate, or white winning a free queen.

Even a mind meld with stockfish (Spockfish?) I'd have got them wrong too :)

Lesson: don't develop Knights in the opening to e or f file if you don't have center control.

Just have me play the position.

Just finished watching the video, I got 4 out of 6 (glad to have found last one), I could say I'm a very tactical guy, sometimes goes well, sometimes goes wrong, it's about that.
