After watch this video, It is time to beat my friend who play scholar's mate.

Thanks, I’m new to chess and I never know what to do against those early queen attacks, so this helped me a lot.

I’m a complete beginner who began playing a couple days ago. I didn’t expect myself to need to study how to play chess for hours on end 😂

The Wayward Queen attack seems like a great opening, until you're no longer 400 rated.

I love when an opponent uses wayward queen. I get a fast development and they end up losing their queen with no development. Usually ends in a rage quit

one thing to note about early queen attacks are its position and your pieces position. yeah the queen looks scary, but always remember the queen cant mate by itself. it always needs at least one piece to deliver a mate. you gotta check all the squares on which the queen can attack you and defend properly. while you're driving the queen away (because enemy is looking for potential mate) you found yourself developing pieces more and they just keep on moving the same piece again and again achieving nothing.

The best piece of advice I got when I was new was just “look at every piece the queen attacks”. Incredibly obvious in theory, but just taking an extra second to be sure I’m not moving a key defender away from a piece meant queen attacks were suddenly easy to beat instead of terrifying

The wayward queen, aka the freelo gambit. I call it that because if it succeeds it's basically an instant win. But if it fails then it's basically an instant loss

On concept #3, you missed the best move, which was also the topic of your video from two days ago. Move the knight attacking the queen results in a discovered check and the knight is blocking the queen instead of checking with the bishop.

7:01 the best move here is to bring the knight to f5 and that would be a discovered attack to king while at the same time queen would be under attack of that knight we just moved

Learning to deal with early queen attacks from low level players really allowed me to flourish in the game. Your video was a crucial part of my learning to combat them and I wanted to credit and thank you.

As someone who almost always does early queen attacks, this was a very insightful video, and perhaps I may try some other strategies.

Your channel is so awesome. I sometimes take a break from chess because I can’t find that many people to play with. Every time I get back into it I come back to your channel. Love the way you approach things. 🔥🔥🔥

7:03 you can play knight f5 taking/trading the opponents queen, taking assuming they move the king in check and trading if they block the check with the queen

So refreshing to see someone get right to the damn point and outline the strategy from the jump.

At 7:02, I think Nf5+ is also a good move. White's king is in a discovered check, and their queen is under attack as well

4:34 Also in this situation, there is a fork with knight. (Knight X C2, that move forks Queen and Rook same time. It forces the King to move, because they can't eat the knight in any way, this way you both get a free queen and your opponent loses the right to castling.)

This helped me so much. Just played a game where this exact thing happened. I counter attacked his Queen to where he eventually lined up the Queen behind the bishop on the white diagonal, and I made the knight move you mentioned sacrificing the pawn. He took the pawn putting my king in check, I moved the Queen up to get out of check, he realized his Queen was under attack so he moved it to the dark square, thus hanging the bishop so I was able to capture it with my king.

A few minutes after watching I played against someone who did the same queen opening as shown in the video. I applied what I learned and got a checkmate in 13 moves!

At 7:07, better move would have been Nf4 as there is discovered check and you win queen

I always love it when I see early queen attacks. I am usually between 1300 and 1400, so it is quite rare. But when I do get it, I can usually get a decent position. Opponents in my range usually will know the common counters, including getting your knight to d4. Usually they will position either a pawn or knight to defend that square.

Thanks for the info, I’m at 450 elo and I like using the wayward queen to put pressure on my opponent and catch them off guard. I’m at a level where it works half the time and now I know how to recognize when it’s not working and recover before it’s too late.

I just lost earlier to this type of early queen attack, thank you for making me learn much faster on what I have to do, ill continue watching your channel so I would become a better player

That's absolutely mindblowing. *Nelson* teach us how to avoid early *Queen attacks!*

On concept 2, when you move your knight to d4 to attack the queen, you can fork afterwards the king and rook

I’ve watched this video 5 times to counter my sons from their early queen attacks, needless to say, I’m winning 😂 thanks bro!

This video and the spreadsheet is like the best thing ever. I've been wanting to learn chess for over a decade and have been entirely overwhelmed by dates and tactics they id never be able to actually apply and I never get anywhere.

Nelson, you do a nice job of keeping the narrative simple and easy to follow. Avoiding too many parenthetical expressions and tangents that some of the experts have in their tutorials. Well done.

I often encounter this early opening as a 900 player.. it's so annoying that they waste multiple moves this tactic is excellent don't mind them just keep developing

Thank you nelson! Ever since I've started playing chess I have gotten much better watching your videos from getting an estimated elo of 800 to an estimated elo of 1550! (even though my rating is 1039)

during the tactic you're discussing around ~7:30 where we plan on trading our bishop for a fork on the king and rook, if white delays recapturing the bishop, and instead plays Qe5+ they can fork the knights and completely ruin black's plan to take the rook.

Thanks! I'm intermediate but I've always particularly struggled defending against early Queen attacks. This'll help!

I love shogi,Jananese chess,thus I am very interested in chess,too.Thank you for your clear explanation.

Really like these conceptual videos! Very instructive as always, thanks!

This video helped me A LOT when i first started playing. I stopped and I recently started back and now I'm facing the same problem watching the same video.

After falling for this fork and unfortunate mate many times, I now have learned how to defend and potentially win. It has to been over 20 loses on the wayward attack/scholars mate. Quite frankly, some of loses were from the bot 😂

Never thought guides to beating Nelson would get this complicated

To counter scholar mate I always start with queen pawn move 1, then knight to c6, and then knight to e5, it will fork queen and bishop. If they make a move like D4 to take your knight out I use knight to h3 instead as it covers the checkmate square and is protected by the g2 peon

I noticed at 7:01 that you could move the knight to c3 discovered check on whites king and winning that queen on next move, unless well he/she blocks check with the queen, but it's like a hope attack 🤷🏽‍♂️

Have been a victim of this kind of attack when I was a kid, have also been a perpetrator of this when I am up against a newbie, but never knew the danger or the exploit behind it (since the pros don't do that kind of opening). Thank you for this.

Hello , i always wanted to play agressivly with the queen but now , i see that it’s not really that aggressive, thank you for your video

I watched this video, queued up a game, got the queen brought out on me early, and ended the game with 5 queens. Thank you so much

Build a position in chess like a fire, start with the pawns as the tinder, then knights and bishops as the kindling and rooks and the queen the logs that you add on once the fire is nicely established. (Much harder than it sounds).

7:00 u could also do nf6 if they take pawn e4

Nice tip for that irritating queen move, mostly it's solution is based on the principles of *Luna's defense* 1. Let the enemy bleed until they exhaust his will to fight more. 2. If they have the numbers, show him brains to face on 3. Let the warfare last slower until you're forces are ready in position

I once fell for the Wayward Queen attack and answered with pawn G6, but then turned it around and boxed the Queen in and made it impossible for her to escape. All attempts to weaken the box somehow only ended in the opponent losing several pieces and when there was no escape anymore, he just gave up lol.

At 2:30 you can also move the Knight to d4 which threatens the queen and you can also fork the rook and the king on the next move

I’ve recently lost the motivation to omprova at chess since i keep getting impatient and making dummy mistakes. This video gave me a new way to think and motivation to keep improving thanks a lot man your actually 1 of the most entertaining and usefull chess channels like Gotham chess

7:15 you can take white queen by attacking it with the knight

What I typically do is pawn d6 after the queen comes out, then queen E7 in front of the king when the bishop comes out, then pretty much no matter what knight F6 will be available to drive out the queen, and much of the board is occupied with the queen and bishops long diagonals

7:02 knight to f5 is a nice move, checking the king and attacking the queen at the same time.

I always try scholars mate but now i see why i should try it more scarcely

whats also cool with the position at 4:15 is that you can gork their king-rook if they dont pay attention and stip defending c2

2 years ago, Miodrag Perunovic ("The Butcher") has made a video about the Patzer Opening. Very interesting...

I am so happy to learn this skill and beat the neeko bot. Thank you so much 👍🏻

I got a game with the opponent pre-moving scholar's mate... Lost bishop, and queen and resigned lol

Lol. 5:40. Someone just the day before today tried going at me with the queen. I played the first 3 moves exactly how chess vibes did by accident. Eventually down the line I accidentally trapped his queen and he had to sacrifice. I could tell it irritated him.

Glad I found this video. I'm practicing chess and Martin always does this

This video makes so much sense. I am going to rewatch is to that I can get the black defense strat. I am a beginner and I want to practice against Nelson.

I've just got into 4 player chess, [~1500] I'd love to see some opening strats for that. I push my queen early to set up a promotion stand off in the middle of the board.

Nelson, your videos are so damn good. Concise, clear & extremely helpful. Best chess channel in my opinion, by far. Keep up the great work! 🙏🏻👍🏻

I am a beginner now for over 5 decades. Thanks so much!!!! Watching from the Philippines.

7:15 - Looks to me like an even better move is Nf5 (discovered check) rather than Bg4 .White can't take with their pawn because the King is in check, and the Knight collects the Queen after White either blocks or moves the King away.

Near the end of concept 3 there was a possible discovered check + fork on the queen

After Bxa3, white can play Qe4* check forking the king and knight so you really can't get the rook unless the players are low elos. But good video as always.

Chess Vibes is full of "good vibrations." It teaches basic rules of chess that the national grandmasters and international grandmasters have taught of old.

At 7:02 in my opinion the bishop check is a miss because there is knight to f5 because it is a discovered check and it is attacking the queen. There is queen to c2 which offers a queen trade so we instead move the bishop before the discovered check to b4 or make the knight take the e pawn and if they don't move their queen know we move the d knight to f5

7:00 dknight to f5 is the best move where u will be winning the queen

Kight to c6 is actually one of the best move here

Hi Nelson I only subscribed today to your channel and am learning alot thanks! Could you please do a video of a basic guideline on when to accept a queen trade and when to decline a queen trade?

6:06 after Na3 Bxa3 white has Qe5+ fork that collects back the knight, it's a playable line for white

Thank you for another great lesson Nelson

In your example at 4:30, you could also move the knight to C2 and do a threeway fork with check and take their queen. Good move or no?

How to punish the early queen attack: 1. Play the Sicilian Defense 2. Try to go for the invisible knight fork 3. Offer a draw 4. Humiliate the opponent 5. Literally play anything else than e5 6. Don't play chess anymore 7. Develop your pieces while trying to hinder/block the opponents attacks. 8. Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there

The best move would be knight f4 at 7:02 It's a discovered attack with our queen so the king must move, and then you can capture the other queen

Decades ago, during my college years, I played a game of chess with a fellow student, a girl who'd never fail to let a moment pass within which she would remind anyone nearby how smart she was. So, I started the game. I brought my queen out early, captured an unprotected pawn, but managed to get it hung-up on B7. I resisted thoughts that I had blundered and managed to develop a really strong middle attack with my other pieces directed at her un-castled king. Obsessed with freeing my queen, I suddenly realized the only safe move I had for it was to E7: checkmate. Completely unplanned. To the explosion of laughter from those watching, I realized instead of a win it was an escape (which I said to her), and I never wanted to play her again.

Hi Nelson sir. Can you please advice. I'm 2000+ on puzzles but on games I'm around 1000 to 1200 and I lose by silly blunders and unable to spot tactics for opponents and me which I can in puzzles

Perfect timing with this recommendation. Just got into chess recently & yesterday someone absolutely merked me with that early queen.

At 4:30 you can get the queen AND the bishop or knight by knight takes pawn check. Creating a fork on the king and queen.

7:03 you can play Nf6! It puts a discovered check on their king while attacking the queen at the same time

7:01 I would recommend doing knight f6 allowing for a discovered check on king and an attack on the queen by the knight. Their best move is to block the attack with their queen but I’m sure there is some crazy checkmate sequence out their for this position lol

4:20 royal fork miss

6:59 the best move after he eats ur pawn would be knight f6 because ur attacking queen with knight while they are in check because of your queen

At 6:59, I think if white pawn takes, then black have to play knight to b3. Queen is attacking to king+ , and knight takes the rook

7.03 Nf5 + = free queen

7:14 The best move would actually be K(knight)dF5, because the queen would be giving a check to the queen, and the knight also attacks white’s queen at the same time, basically winning a queen

I just recently got into chess and I love your channel dude! It’s my favorite on UKposts!

Usually i also play variant where bishop move first instead of queen. Alternate their position on each game for variety. Sometimes i offer mutual queen kill.

7:01 you missed a really good move that wins the queen nf5+

7:02 i think you can move knight to b3 instead? to threat and capture the rook, yea you may ended up to trade queen, but you get a rook which is better than the knight in many occasion.

I saw a video of other guy but this one is better by far far far. You rock man thx

Thanks for this info., i usually would bring out my Queen too to defend against Queen. Your strategy is better, I'll do this.

The best youtube channel out there to learn chess. Thanks man.

7:05, because you'd be forcing check, the King would move to the left, or down one square. If they moved to the left, that's forcing the fork all over again. If they moved down one, you could still go for the pawn, because that would open up the Queen head on to check again. If you don't want to lose your knight, you can simply move him to a spot that could also force check from Queen, while keeping pressure on/ guarding other pieces/being guarded.

Thanks for the video and tips!Early queen attacks is super annoying so this really helped !

Nelson laughing in the corner after taking all of my pieces💀

On 7:01 it's better for a knight on F5 as it's a check to king then simply knight captures queen

At 7.01 in the video knight to f5 will reveal an attack on the king and when the king moves you win the queen if they don't block with the queen or if the can't in your position

In 7:02 in your video, Nf5 is a good move because it is a check from the queen and the knight is attacking the queen!

Thank you so much! This will help me a lot.
