I’m right there with you Charles, trying to work my way up the rating scale. The custom puzzle feature is an excellent way to help with tactics. Hang in there, good things will happen.

In reply to - Charles posted an update

Still slogging through. In the meantime, I’m using the custom puzzles on Chess.com to focus on tactics. My Mate in 1 success is 58%. I’ve gotten 19 of 20 in last couple of days. […]

Just finished watching the coaching call. What a great session. Thanks, Nelson.

I really like the thought of dong a rating climb with the two openings if that is possible.

To help add some depth to my understanding of the Stonewall Attack, I’m reading Andrew Soltis’ book, aptly named The Stonewall Attack. It’s expensive, but I was able to get it at a […]

I just wanted to share this with the group. Playing the Owen my rapid rating was 699 (I started the course on the 15th with a rating of 610) my opponent was 668, so I should have the uper hand. I did the game review and the little fella in the window commented “Your opponent had a good opening but you were on another levell, you overpowed your…

Hello, I have a question about chess.com I’m wondering if anyone can please help. In settings I can change the rating limts for incoming and outgoing challenges, mine are all set to ANY which must be the default setting. My question is, with my rating being low should I set it to something other then ANY and if so to what? it’s confusing to…

Yes Ryan I’m also limited to who I can play, most of my games are played on my iPad at Chess.com and some on Litchess. I really like the Chessnut electronic products with the Bluetooth connections, looks pretty slick. I just need to decide which one.

Is anyone familiar with electronic chess sets? I’ve been looking on YouTube at two specific companies, Millennium and Chessnutech. I really like the Chessnut line of products, especially the ability to buy sensors, which allows you to have multiple sets to play OTB games. The actual feeling and moving of the pieces is so enjoyable to me, that…

Hello Nelson, I must say I truly enjoy the way this course is put together. Hats off to you Sir! I finished with module 3 and now I am looking forward to spending many more hours diving into the rest of this course. I’ve been playing the two openings you suggested and have seen much improvement in my game play (finally) I have yet to try the…
