A month after purchasing the course I reached a ranking of 1500. I am very satisfied. Your streams are also very helpful. Thank you and I look forward to the 2000 course.

Hello everyone, I just enrolled in braking 1500 today and have been a fan of chess vibes youtube channel for a couple months now. My starting elo as of today is 657 and im extreamly happy to start this journey to 1500. Nelson’s teaching methods and explanations of his thinking process really resonate with me.

Hi Nelson,

I love your channel and I love your course. I am curious, I never see you use the Stonewall or Owen’s Defense when doing your speed runs. Do you have a list of games you have used it or any FEN files you can share? I want to analyze some of those games further. Thank you.

I did the course the first time round and have oh-so-slowly, improved my rating from 893 to, now, 1016. More importantly, I have won 70% (plus two draws) of my last 23 games (rapid), 67% of them as white using either the London or Stonewall Attack, and 73% of them as black using either the Owen’s Defence against e4 or Pirc/King’s Indian…

Stonewall attack win against 1518 player on Lichess. (30 +20) I still need to learn to finish game faster (suggestions on how to train?)

I have this game in my chess.com library. How do I show the board and moves here?

Thanks!

Another Testimonial for Nelson and Breaking 1500.

I joined November 18. I was a 752 rapid rating the day I bought the course.

Tonight, I just crossed 1100 at 1108.

+352 ELO in 36 days.

Progress was slow at first, as I was making my way through the course and playing. For the last several weeks, I am focused almost exclusively on preventing…

Haven’t had the time to play much recently but still taking a few minutes each day to do puzzles. Highly recommend adding ‘poop time puzzles’ to your training regiment for anyone out there who can’t always commit the time they’d like to! XP

I’ve been playing the Owen’s as black for a few months now, and as my rating has gotten higher, I’ve noticed that my opponents have made it difficult to attack the light squares. This game ended up working out really well though since my opponent didn’t castle right away and allowed me to chase their queen into a tough position. The…

After muddling around for a few years between 0900-1100 rating, this course has helped me to experience a very consistent rating climb of nearly 300 points (and hopefully more soon!) over the past 3 months.

The systemic approach to “changing the dots to green” helped me to look for weaknesses in my game and improve them, as opposed to just…
