      Does anyone know where the PGN’s for the openings are?

      TIA

      • Click on lesson 3.2 and 3.3, up top there’s a tab that says “materials.”

        • Thanks Russ appreciate it. Played the first game with the Owen’s defence. Guy pushes the E pawn early and I got into a bad position thereafter!

          • Been there too, several times with lower rated players. Good thing about it is you’re usually ahead enough in development that you can snipe that e5 pawn eventually, and a lot of times it opens the d file up for attacking, especially because bad players tend to send their queen out too early.

            I played this game recently: https://www.chess.com/game/live/117169233849

            and was prepping the king-side castle when I saw the trap that could happen if I castled queen-side. I played it and was drooling waiting on his move and he stepped right in it. I actually felt kinda bad about it for a minute, until I remembered how many times I walked into a fork, or a pin, or a forced checkmate. Then I took the win with a smile 😀
