Thought I was doing OK until I watched the discovered attack module. Honestly I was only able to see 1 easy solution and the Smothered mate . All the rest were either way beyond me or I only got the first part of the multiple move ones. Not sure what to think about my short comings on this.

On openings I’ve only looked at the under 800
My question on the Owens is , after
1. e4-b6
2. d4-b7
3. ? why doesn’t white simply play d5 ?
seems like that would block the attack on e4 with a pawn defended by its queen-
You would just attack their pawn in that case with e6 and then Nf6 and they actually have a lot to worry about otherwise their center will collapse. I believe we talked about it in one of the previous group coaching calls, so I’d say go watch those when you have time and it should answer a lot of that question. Hope that helps!
