MADE IT! Thanks Nelson for not just the course but also the invaluable rapid chess streams that you’re putting out every week. These are extremely instructive and I probably wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for those streams. I was 1489 in April this year and since then I struggled a lot going up and down and then finally today crossed 1500 for the first time. YEEESS <fist clench gesture>
