If you want to beat the bot, I would suggest trading queens early. He can fall apart in the endgame so trade pieces early, queens especially, and survive until he crumbles in the end game.

Nelson Carlsen?  Or Mangnus Mandella?

Nelson is extremely aggressive, I reccomend playing it safe and trading queens early. Bots always fall apart when they dont have a queen.

You can't beat Nelson because you can't beat him

Just trade queens, play defensive and youll be fine

I decided to play Nelson . He is certainly not a 1300 bot.

Definitely. I second that. Seemed like a 1200 rated or below.

It took quite a while for me to find an opening setup that held off his highly offensive queen.  However, once you take it, even in trade, he becomes much more manageable.  I feel like Nelson is the first real skill check in the bots, at least for me.  He doesn't punish every single mistake, but will definitely not allow you to make more than a couple without hurting you for it.

I had one with black but forgot to save it.

I agree with the early queen trade idea. It definitely helped me and he became much more manageable in the later game.

Nelson is fodder tbh.

I use him as a punching bag nowadays.

But when I was a beginner, Nelson would beat me 50-0. (Mainly because of rage after the first few losses)

So I feel your pain OP.
