Pawn pusher game. Sadly, opponent blundered their queen. Previously had a game like this and ran out of time overthinking. Enjoyed using the analysis to study my moves further

Here is another time I was in a strong position thanks to stonewall opening but did not see the forced mate. 😃 Luckily I still won after black blundered but it was much later.

Just a glance, I’d play Qh5. With that much force around a a bare king, there has to be a mate.

I’m working my way through Module 9 and have a suggestion: It would be nice if links were provided to the games on Chess.com so a student could go and work through them further.

So my attempt at a Greek gift sacrifice here was a brilliant… blunder! However, I found the real brilliant move a couple of moves later. https://www.chess.com/game/live/128828545725

Request for Nelson to add to Bonus section:
I literature list of books you would recommend to supplement the lessons taught in your course.
Thanks either way.

Merry Christmas good people.
For variety I enjoy playing a little “silly chess” and trying to think of a good move despite a losing position. The misses are what I enjoy looking for most.
This game my opponent made a few mistakes too so I happened to win. https://www.chess.com/game/121678971702

Another Testimonial for Nelson and Breaking 1500.
I joined November 18. I was a 752 rapid rating the day I bought the course.
Tonight, I just crossed 1100 at 1108.
+352 ELO in 36 days.
Progress was slow at first, as I was making my way through the course and playing. For the last several weeks, I am focused almost exclusively on preventing…

trying the stonewall and I am not getting anywhere
99% of the time my opponent will take my knight nc6 – e5 and they will move their
other knight just as often from nf6 – e4 but there are no tips how to respond, what is the best way to respond?

I usually have my other knight on d2 and just recapture. When they retake with their pawn on d5, I retake with my bishop and am up a pawn on the exchange. YMMV. You want to link a game as an example of what is happening?
-
I always get taken before my knight gets on d2, a link to a game would be great

Terry,
I just noted that Nelson’s opening PGN file has the exact thing you are talking about.Look at variant move 10. Nxe5, fxe5, Ne4, Rh3 …
It is also discussed in the video lesson on the Stonewall Attack.
His suggestion does not follow with the Nxe4 that I suggested above, but he is much better at this than me.
I saved his PGN to my library,…

OK. remember I am only starting at this, so you might want other’s advice more, but…
The way I see it is:
1. castle instead of Nd2 on move 6.2. your opponent is moving the Knight twice in the first five moves. Let him and continue to develop normally (next move here is a castle).
e4 is one of the permanent weaknesses of the Stonewall Attack…

While this was a nice looking win, it wasn’t planned; it just sort of appeared. Nevertheless I’ll take it and giod game to my opponent 👍🏼

Another accidental checkmate. I just saw a nice attack and was surprised when the # alert flashed. https://www.chess.com/game/121647423356
