It’s a tricky piece and I tend to either not see forks from my opponent or to my opponent.

I do have a Chessable account, so I’ll definitely look into creating personal courses from the PGNs. Combining that with understanding the ‘why’ behind the moves, as Ryan mentioned, sounds like a solid plan. Appreciate the tip!

I’m excited to try the Owen’s Defense and Stonewall openings. Does anyone have best practices for memorizing the move orders from the PGN packages Nelson provides? Looking for tips […]

I’ll focus on understanding the reasons behind the moves. Breaking it down into goals like you suggested makes it much easier to remember. I appreciate the detailed example!

Hey Nelson,

I’m excited to be a part of this course to help me be a better chess player.

I’m sub 1,000 Elo and guilty of playing a lot of daily games to not have the pressure of the clock.

I’ve been playing chess ‘seriously’ for about a year, but my rating is stuck around 850. I’ve watched many of Nelson’s videos on YouTube and can’t wait to learn and grow with all of you. Thank you, Nelson!
