Hi Nelson,
I love your channel and I love your course. I am curious, I never see you use the Stonewall or Owen’s Defense when doing your speed runs. Do you have a list of games you have used it or any FEN files you can share? I want to analyze some of those games further. Thank you.
Tony and Jim S1 Comment-
Agree that a speed run with both Stonewall and Owens would be great to see.

My chess dot com rapid rating is 470. I decided to open a Lichess account to see how it was as a platform which gave me a starting rating of 1500. I figured I would just jump into a game to get my rating to a more accurate reflection, content with the fact I’m going to lose.
I get put up against a 1300. They play a Sicilian, I think I…

I did the course the first time round and have oh-so-slowly, improved my rating from 893 to, now, 1016. More importantly, I have won 70% (plus two draws) of my last 23 games (rapid), 67% of them as white using either the London or Stonewall Attack, and 73% of them as black using either the Owen’s Defence against e4 or Pirc/King’s Indian…

Who says you can’t bring your queen out early? I’ll let you do it while I sleep through it 😅

Found a tactic in the stonewall! While it involved a lot of sharp lines after analysis, it was great fun! I had no idea how it would work out and feel like my opponent did not need to resign as I made some mistakes.

I am curious about other’s experiences. To date, I have a 71% win-rate with white and a 48% win-rate with black.
I know White is advantaged, but is that a normal spread for most players?
Also, for chess.com ELO, from what I can tell, it does not take into account piece color. That is, if I face another 1170 player, I will get +8 on a win, +0 on…
-
Don´t know if that spread is normal or not.
BUT I can say I have a very similar spread as you, and a 48% win-rate with black.
I don´t think there should be any splits in ELO ratings for different colors… Chess com does set you up with 50/50 games of white / black pieces, so there is therefore balance in the ELO rating.
-
Yeah, I usually hover around the same figures. Tbh I think the advantage of white is the main reason. Also, the Stonewall is a very dynamic opening that challenges players around 1000 ELO!

While analyzing Nelson’s recent stream, it was white to play and he said he couldn’t stop R-d3 after his next move. Wouldn’t Q-g2 allow white to defend from there with R-f3 to block a check? I’m probably not seeing something. Idk.
-
Looks like after Qg2, black could play Qxc3+ which forks the rook at a1. I guess white could save the rook with Be3, but then that loses the bishop.
