A very "beginner-friendly" way to beat Nelson is literally just to play Wayward Queen Attack yourself.

This is awful advice. The "wayward queen attack" is BAD. Really bad. Don't do this. Just focus on fast development and don't hang a piece.

Exchanging queens against Nelson is also a bad idea. Nelson's insane queen moves help you develop with tempo. He is actively trying to beat himself. Exchange queens and you take away his rope.

Actually this is the only way I’ve ever beaten Nelson.

Nelson is a bot made for queen attacks so I guess everybody hates Nelson

No, I would not mind playing a higher level version of him.  As is, I can win easily because he misses really dumb things.

"I HATE NELSON THE BOT"

Everyone does. the guy's a ___. he don't know how to behave. maybe he had a rough life.

After 10 days I GOT HIM. What a relief.

Nice! I started to beat him a few weeks ago, on Antonio now.

My least favorite bot has to be the stupid sven bot

On some days I struggle beating him, on other days he's so easy

I'm stuck on Antonio as well, and stockfish level 4

For me, Antonio has played like Nelson with early queen attacks

I went back to stockfish because I'd be more likely able to develop pieces

Beating Nelson took me 5 hours for one game, but in those hours I assimilated a lot, and was able to beat Jade & Vinh @ 1300 and David @ 1400 

Nelson is great for learning and practicing defensive tactics, and establishing a sound opening relative to his early attacks, so this bot can be seen as a great asset to strengthen ones game. If you defend effectively, you've established a decent position with several moves and he's only moved 2 pieces

Is Nelson a secret grandmaster????

nelson is soo easy tho
he moves his queen out second move, gets chased around by my horseys and bishops, and I end up like 4 tempi up.
