I have been prepping for this course the last few days, working an extra hour or two at work every day to get ahead of my deadlines. I am lucky that I have my own office and no hovering manager, all this to say that tomorrow and Friday will consist of my delving into Breaking 1500 and not doing actual work ;).

For me at least Nelson is by far the best chess teacher on YouTube, yes sure I have learned from others, for example learning the Caro Khann from Alex Banzea has been pivotal for my black game and Gotham has that entertainment flair to his channel, BUT, for learning actual chess you are the best Nelson. You have such a calm demeanor and explain in a way that just clicks with my mind somehow. I’ve gained 200 elo from watching your videos, hopefully this course will get me 500 more!!
