Beware this Scandanavian response
Panic like I did and you will die. Developing my other knight was not the best move.

Nelson is human!
After a long “practice” session (overzealous playing without fully completing study) I thought it best to finish the breaking 1500 course. Watch the “tilted” lesson if you are losing and getting upset. Nelson reminded me we all need to just stop and give ourselves a break.
-
Tilting is a major problem of mine. Lately I have been giving myself 2 loses per session. Once I lose twice it is time to quit for the day. So far I seem to be doing okay with this. Even put together a little 5 game win streak.

Broke 1100!
This was anybody’s game. Made a few poor moves; mouse slipped move 75 and opponent pre moved trying to flag and missed a draw. Good game to them.

Congratulations!! Considering you were both low on time by move 75, not surprising he was pre-moving.
Now best of luck on your march to 1200.

Stonewall vs Owens!
Seldom seen and often wanted! Good game to my opponent; unfortunately there was a blunder BUT excellent chance to play against bot afterward! Note the powerful looking black bishops.

Icelandic gambit!
Started great! Then my opponent offered to sac his queen twice on move 8 and 9 and got mad (kidding) when I didn’t see it and proceeded to kick the snot out of me. After that I got to practice finding a good attack. Good game to my opponent. Moral: take the queen when its offered haha

Hi! I started working on Scandinavian course, which is awesome. I noticed that the PGN-file that is attached is not working. When I looked at it with text editor I noticed that there was no header in file. It imported well but no moves appeared. I tried it in HIARCS Chess Explorer Pro and also Lichess and it did not work on either.
-
If you put a header something like the following at the top of the file (those are consecutive lines, just spaced out when pasted in), then one blank line before the moves you should be able to load the file into one of those. I tested it with chessx on Linux fine with this header.

Just pretend you meant to blunder
Once Nelson said if you blunder just pretend it was on purpose. This time it happened to work. Was trying the queen bishop battery out after reviewing some of the breaking 1500 ideas. Good game to my opponent!

Brilliant rook sacrifice followed by passing up on a free queen to obtain checkmate!
Worked very well I’d say!

Love the sniper bishops setup!

Welp! I'm not going to win, but
I’m not going to give up, and will make it complicated. Maybe he’ll blunder!
