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.…

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…

I agree about the decisiveness, especially of the owen defense. I too have been absolutely steam rolled a handful of times with it but more often than not it has worked out in my favor.

Ive had mixed results with the stonewall. I think the main benefit of the stonewall in my experience is people expect the either queens gambit or London… Read more

I’ve been practicing stonewall and owen’s defense. Sometimes I can win, but other times I get crushed! Overall, my rating is rising. I played this game, was losing badly, but turned it […]

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.

I am somewhat self conscious over the 521 point spread between my 1378 daily rating and 857 rapid. Glad to be in good company.

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…

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…

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…
