Hej. Do you have any recommendations for a second opening für white and black.

I’m playing otb with the same people, and they figured out how to play well against stonewall and owens 😂

Just for getting some variations. And it should not be to complex. Still under 1k.

I’m a chesscom user. How do I use that on mobile? I’m a bit lost at lichess interface 🤯

I just started the course and look forward to improving! I went through the “opening” lesson module and wanted to share a LiChess study that can be used to drill/practice the Stonewall […]

Awesome to have you here at 71 and starting out.

What I did: watch 1-3 videos a day, not everyday day. Play some bots or setup an analytics board. And play some real 15+10 games

I’m 71 years old and started playing chess about 8 months ago having stumbled upon one of Nelson’s posts on YouTube. My ELO is approximately 450-500 with a favourable wind! I’m […]

Started this course when I was just shy of 1200 and I’ve fallen to 950 since- is this normal? I love the course content and it’s definitely been helpful, but feeling discouraged and […]

Nelsi Kind of adresses this in the course. It’s a bit like relearning new habits

Try some longer timed games. I go by 15+10 at the moment. Maybe go 30min.

I’ve seen chessbook ads on Reddit but ignored it. Today I tried it and like it. It’s exactly what I miss with chess.com for learning openings and variations. Thanks for mentioning it here

In reply to - David L posted an update Has anyone been able to Airplay any of the videos to a TV? I’m finding only the audio is being sent over.

I’m using Safari on an ipad and Airplaying to a Samsung TV which I have had […]

I’ll switch to lichess when my Diamond runs out end of the year.

Don’t see the value in (sometimes stupid) move explanations any more

In reply to - Jakob posted an update

Will a Diamond plan on chess.com be that necessary once I finish the course?

Will the course be able to provide me enough of knowledge to analyze my games? I’m thinking about downgrading […]
