  • Managed to get to 1250 ( well 1249) , thanks Nelson for the blunder check list ! Only 1 blunder in last 14 games & that was a pawn in a game I eventually won . This course is wonderful & a resource for ever !!

  • Plea to James , who very kindly put a game of mine ( WildSam21 on Chess.com) on this activity area a while ago , or indeed anyone who might help do the same for a rapid game I just played against OCBLACKX20 .
