So white pushes the e pawn, attacking my knight, and since I can’t actually jump in to e4 anymore (since the f pawn is now defending it),…

I’ve seen lots of moves that diverge from the ones they’re “likely” to do that were covered in the preferred openings. My question is not whether the openings are still good (I’m sure they are), but when to diverge versus doing what I often see in Nelson’s rating climb videos, just going for pawns in the center and…

1st

two questions I would like to have addresses tonight. 1. If playing someone who makes random moves during the opening, should I still play the Stonewall or Owens, or, just go for […]

I usually play daily games (don’t seem to have time dedicated to a timed one, daily lets you play as fast or slow as you need), which is fine but can be slow for practicing if the opponent takes their time. I’ve practiced with…

A couple quick questions on the openings.

In the Owens (which is super fun), any tips for if white puts their knight on d2 instead of c3? Pinning with the bishop no longer works […]

Owens reply makes sense. For the stonewall, it’s not a free pawn as the knight would just take back. I could be using the time to develop, and if they want to trade they can… maybe they’re both ok.

In the Owens (which is super fun), any tips for if white puts their knight on d2 instead of c3? Pinning with the bishop no longer works because the pawn can block.

In the Stonewall, any tips for if black gets crazy and immediately attacks with e5? I ended up pushing both pawns, which was okay, but…
