Hello Nelson, I need to know two things that I think will help many people. The first thing is: when my opponent’s king castles long and the rook pawn advances as in the image, what is the best way to deal with that storm of pawns so as not to be on the defensive all the time? and

The next question is: when my opponent prevents me from placing…

@ChessVibes But if I do what you say he will advance the Pawn to c4 and I will no longer be able to place my bishop on d3. And I would need a sequence for that too. Could Nelson please help me with this? It’s very important

But if I place the Knight on F6 I will lose time because if in that example the Pawn advances on E5 I will not be able to castle to save the knight that will continue to be threatened by C4, could you please tell me a sequence in that case? Thank you for responding Nelson, I value your time, that’s why I only bother you when there is no other option.

Hello Nelson, there are situations where it is impossible to perform the Owens defense or the Stonewall, and I always lose with black when that happens

Could you please tell me how to adapt the Owens defense to situations like the one I attached?

Hello Nelson, I admire you, I hope I can learn something from you, I would like to ask you to please explain in one of your videos how to beat the “Greek sacrifice”?. I always get beaten with that strategy because they expel my defending knight with a rival pawn. And

Also about the concept of “Overload” I never figure out how to detect it in…
