The Ultimate Guide to Beating the Nelson Bot

Never go Full Nelson! That's my advice for this bot. His greatest threat is his early queen-led attacks, but it's also his biggest weakness. Learn how to take advantage of this potential Achilles heel... no matter whether you're white or black, or what opening you prefer!

Love it!

Thanks!

Nice, I like to punish his early queen moves. I've gotten this position many times with nelson:

Step 1: move all your pawns to dark squares

-

-

Step 2: when he gives away free pieces, capture them

-

-

Step 3: when he attacks an undefended piece, don't let him capture it for free 

-

-

And the rest is easy.

Not that Nelson has ever given me too much trouble but OMG Nelson gave me fools mate & I missed it!!!! Just goes to show it's never too early to win the game. I had to just take a walk after that.....LOL

Oh Lordy!!

How rooks are better than knights

Thanks!
