I’m really enjoying the course, but I think I caught a tiny bug: In Lesson 4.16: Interference at frame 1:38, isn’t white’s knight move impossible because it resolves an existing check for black?

My first brilliant move using the Stonewall Attack! There are a few things I could have done better, but I’m excited about this opening.

Thank you, Nelson, for providing us with the PNG for the Stonewall and Owen openings. I am ready to review the openings by opening them in the library. What is the best way to study the main line and sidelines presented?

Hi Nelson, just started your course and I am super excited about it. I have a question about time controls. For reference, I am around 1100 elo. I like to play 10+5 rapid games, it allows me to play more games and I do not feel rushed with the increment. It is usually enough time for most of my games but I sometimes run out of time. Is it…

Hi all, my name is Bernard, from Ireland and delighted to be here. I’m playing chess for a couple of years and reached over 1100elo on chess.com last year. Lost around 100 elo since and stuck around 1000 elo now. I find I tend to play a little better in unrated games. I’m a big fan of chessvibes and I’m really excited about this course.

Good Afternoon,

I am really excited to be able to be a part of this course. I am an Adult Learner (36) and I find the Chess Vibes channel one of my greatest resources for learning. NM Nelson can get me engaged and provide explanations into his own thought processes. I have played online for three (3) years and OTB for one (1) year. I have able…

Awesome to see so much activity here.

I’m grateful for another opportunity to support ChessVibes.

I’ve told the story before but want to relay again; I started a chess club at my local library to find people to casually play with. I’m military stationed overseas and wanted to get back into a game I enjoyed when I was younger. At the first…
