Okay, I’ve gotta share this one.. I was playing Blitz and frustrated with how fast I was moving, and just figured I needed to get it out of my system with some bullet. Ups & downs, then I played this one as black.. pretty fast moves and a fun finish!

Ignore the massive blunder of mate-in-1 that my opponent also missed.. forgot I need to play g6 there. It had been a while since I faced scholar’s mate attempts!
-
That was a fun one. Loved the 3 way fork just before the end.

Will there be any more coaching sessions where games get analysed?
-
In one of his recent videos (I think one of his live streams) he said probably after the next time he puts the course on sale he would do one. So I don’t think there are any new ones planned at the moment.

The check the King and Queen and everything before each move seems pedantic. However I am doing it and seeing things I otherwise would have missed. It Is taking me longer BUT. Less Blunders. Nelson Is correct. THE ONE TIME YOU DON’T CHECK. U LOSE. LOL

Does anyone remember which video (either in section 1 or 2) where Nelson talks about not moving some of the pawns on A2, B2, or C2 and some of the troubles that causes?

HELP anyone please… I open with the Italian…. Once I castle ( asap ) I get attacked . I seem to corner my King it feels. What to do? Please anyone? TY In advance .
-
Maybe bring some more pieces out and optimize, keeping your options open for which side to castle, even.. and you’ll always be ready to castle in one move.

Gotta say, very frustrated . Got every question on the part 9 test wrong. Felt totally unprepared for it. Would have been nice if an explanation forr the logic of those moves was provided. Or at least a reference to where in the course i could go to and see the materials.
Not a happy camper now

Is there away to restart the coarse to redo it again?
-
While it won’t clear your progress. You can rewatch the videos at any time you want.
-
Yup.doing it now. Go to 1500 course, view details, and the whole thing comes up

So have you done any rating climb videos using the Stonewall and Owens defencse as you talk about in the courses?
-
It did sound like he was going to do another live group coaching session as a rating climb using Owen’s Defence & Stonewall in his last group session hey!?
It’s been over 3 months now though so I’m guessing it’s not gonna happen unfortunately. Maybe he couldn’t get another account with Chess.com?
Devo though, that would have been really good…

Hope someone can help? Trying to download materials from chapter to tr pgn on my ipad.
File donloads bit doesnt open jus says stonewall_lines data 360 bytes.
Do the matrials not download on ios only windows?
-
The stonewall_lines.pgn file I downloaded is just a text file that is only 360 bytes in size. I also have a zip file for that (which may have been how it downloaded, don’t remember). The equivalent file for the Owens defense is 914 bytes in size.
I don’t have an iPad, but the problem may be that iOS doesn’t know what to do with a pgn file so…

Nelson is an amazing player and an exceptional teacher. I love the course. But I did find this which somewhat contradicts what he said about being over 1500 puts you in the 96% percentile (granted, he said based on chess.com). Not trying to be ultra-critical; just want people to realize that if they reach 1500, there may be more people above…
-
Just curious, if I look under my stats on chess.com and click on “Rapid”, it tells me that roughly 80% of the players have lower ratings than me. I am well short of a 1500 rating. Where did you get the data for the estimate on chess.com?
Certainly not going to question the FIDE and USCF rating estimates, as those groups are self selected…
-
I asked ChatGPT to do research
-
FIDE and USCF info is likely pretty close to accurate, but not what it said about online. In the 1200 range you’re at about 92% on chess.com. Chess.com and FIDE ratings are relatively similar for the same person typically from what I’ve researched.. the reason the percentile is so different is there’s literally millions more beginners…
