Was there a recoding of last nights call? I could only watch the first hour.

I had a really good game right now using Stonewall attack. I sacrificed a bishop to eventually get my opponent in checkmate. But what I really like about this game is I took Nelson’s advice and I had to bring my C1 Bishop (who was stuck) and maneuver him to the other side of the board to pull of the check mate. I was hoping my opponent…

How many games have you played? I lost my first two but then went on to win 4 in a row but as I posted earlier, I was only able to get the owens set up one time and then the other games I didn’t have a chance to get owens or stonewall going so had to rely just on basic chess principles. I’m around 560 Elo so I just think its more unpredictable.

After getting destroyed in my first two games I’m now on a 4 game win streak. I finally got a chance to snag that e4 pawn using the Owens defense. That was cool. Other than that game, I was not able to get Owens or Stonewall fully set up and had to rely on basic chess principles. I’m 560 Elo so I think most players are just too…

Nice game!

Hi all. First try ever using Owen’s as black. white blundered E4 after Bxc3 leaving the pawn undefended, just like Nelson said was common. The opponent’s position quickly crumbled and […]

After playing several games using Stonewall as a 500 Elo player is that at this level everyone is so unpredictable and no one has castled in 4 games. I find I have to rely quickly on basic chess principles.

Nelson, one suggestions might be making a custom video for this class where you start at 500 Elo using your AverageJoe acct on Chess.com…

Nelson,

I played the stonewall defense last night and the when I pushed the pawn to f4, black’s next move was his bishop to g4 threatening my queen. I moved my knight to f3 to block but then black’s bishop took my knight and threatened the queen again. I took his bishop with my queen. Was that the right move or should I have taken his…

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.

What clock do you recommend to get better at chess? I feel like I make too many mistakes with the 10 min. clock. Is it ok to play with a 20 minute or…
