Bot Nelson
Sort:
It seems that no matter how I try, I can't beat the bot Nelson, I don't know how to respond to his way of playing the queen early, can you give me advice?

Here is a thread about playing vs Nelson. Strategies include developing actively and harassing the queen and also going for an early queen trade.

I just tried the bot out and won quite easily using the London System. I thought, if he's going to come at me with his queen, respond with something very solid.
As I was playing fast I did blunder myself a few times, with no takeback option, but Nelson is a rash player and doesn't really calculate in defence that much. The bot made more mistakes.
My blunders:
- Move 31, hanging knight.
- Move 34, captured with bishop but allowed KxB.
- Move 47, accepted the offered knight but walked into a knight fork.
