Any suggestions on what my thought process should have been here to determine that b4 was the best move (or that Nd2 was an inaccuracy). Nd2 seems natural since this started out as a London and d2 is the natural square for that knight in the London. More importantly though I was trying to preserve the pawn structure from Bxf3 and castle soon.…

Think it’s well above my current pay grade 😵💫

Hi Justin, I play the London some times also and I think I’d have played the Knight move on instinct also. I think its not liking the move as it may be too slow in this position. b4 takes space and starts a pawn charge with your pawn majority on the Queens side which can create real problems for black before they get all their pieces out.…

This was daily chess so opening books are allowed by the fair play rules and we both had over 99% accuracy in the opening. I can only take credit for the middle game.
Move 14 when he pushed his pawn I really hesitated taking it. I figured it would give him an extra tempo on me by chasing me away with…

Nothing brilliant about this game but this may be the first game I have played without a single inaccuracy. I’m a 857 in rapid and chess.com judged this game to be a 1600. I really felt that my second from last move was a HUGE tell but I guess not.

Possible talking point for a zoom call or any future videos. If you are playing the stonewall and black either castles queen side or refuses to commit either way. How do you convert the setup to a queen side attack and just how far do you take the setup if they have not committed either way yet. Obviously doing rook lift if they have not…

Thanks, Justin, I’ll get this added to the list of questions to discuss in the live calls.

Great point Justin, just experienced my opponent queenside castling while i was fully developed and was wondering if there was already a comment.

Using what I learned in module 3 I just played the stonewall for the first time. I played against the computer just to try to get the moves down before playing a real person. https://www.chess.com/analysis/game/computer/137847677?tab=review cant really ask for a game to go easier than that. I am kicking myself about missing the tactic on move…

I’m always blown away at how strong players in the 800-900 range can be on Chess.com. The tripled pawns you got on the g file were nice. It basically walled off any help from coming in defense.

Hey – If we are all introducing ourselves my name is Justin. I use to play chess in HS back between the years 1996-2000. I never was that great. I played board 1 JV or board 5 varsity depending on who showed up for a given tournament. I did get all my varsity stuff for my letterman jacket since I played varsity in state one year. This was the…

Nice Justin, glad you’re here!
