  1. I like this series so much, keep it up Nelsonโค

  2. I clicked this video in the first 30 seconds!๐Ÿ˜

  3. captain blackbeard seems like a one piece refrence

  4. Nelson if you are seeing this how many episodes will this be

  5. The last puzzle is the most insane puzzle tbh. Sac a rook for a win and mate with a bishop

  6. Hey Nelson, just checked your store and fyi, the hoody with D4 "so far so good" is not correct as the pawn on E2 moved to D4

  7. "Im happy that there wasn't Captain White Beard."

  8. It would be so cute for the Caterpillar to defeat the Magician, and absolutely hilarious if the Caterpillar turned out to be a Mittens-type chess master who somehow stumps Bobby Fischerman.

  9. I dont understand 7:05. You say "it's not Qf3+ this time because we dont have a follow up" so I went back in the video at 6:10 and it is the exact same position ! I dont understand where the difference is ?
    Just play as you did from 7:05, Qf3+ and if Kb8 then Qf8+ and then knight fork.

    How is it wrong ?

  10. 4:39 In this position white can move their queen to d8 and win the game by chekmate.

  11. The first puzzle is a great example of the kind of puzzle I love: one that could come from a real game. Given that there are so many great puzzles that plausibly could come from real games, why waste time on ridiculous puzzles like 5 queens versus 5 knights?

  12. BOBBY BOBBY WILL WIN BOBBY BOBBYW WILL WIN

  13. 10:53 Blackbeard doesnt promote to a queen. he promotes to a…. ROOK/BISHOP/KNIGHT!!!!

  14. I heard if you say the Channel name 5 times, you will get pinned… Let's try it.

  15. Loved puzzle 3 because I could actually solve it! ๐Ÿ˜€
    I have been playing more and more puzzles and with the help of this series, I have bumped up to 1380 puzzle elo. Maybe I will reach 2000 elo along with Average Joe and Peter Patzer eventually.

  16. ฮœฮฟฯ…ฯ‡ฮฑฯฮญฮผ ฮ™ฮฝฯ„ฮถฮญ says:

    The pirate looks like my uncle ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ

    Excellent videos, hope you'll continue this way CV

  17. In the second puzzle in the end, I would like to see the follow ups if Black didnt promote to queen, but instead to rook. It wouldnt be a stalemate right? So what then?
