Another fun scrape I should have lost. Deliberately tried to lure opponent to attack me and was down a piece and eeked out a win. Thanks for the breaking 1500 tips, Nelson!

I don’t know what to think about this last game, I’m only around 450 I was paired with a 600 and lost. On the plus side even though I was on the defensive for the whole game. I didn’t make any blunders! I guess some small victory?

Here is one you might find useful. Sadly my opponent resigned. https://www.chess.com/game/121289776498
Now I know when i see them do this I can run and hide. I didnt think beyond a move or two which is a mistake because I might have lost a knight. Thats how the masters find the best move and why I am not one 👍🏼

I got away with it again. Unplanned attack just appeared out of thin air 🤷♂️

Hi, Nelson. In the Discovered Checks lesson, in the third Advanced puzzle/example (at 11:10 in the video), I think you missed an interesting variation. Instead of capturing our Q, White can avoid the discovered check by moving 2.Kg1 or 2.Kg2. If 2.Kg1, then the Knight fork on f3 works again, and we win the Q. If, on the other hand, White…

I’m been mostly playing daily chess games because I haven’t been able to dedicate time for a one sitting chess. But I’m finding that a game played over a few days isn’t helping me progress. Does anyone else play daily games?
Going forward, I’m going to try to play more 10 minute games. Any thoughts?
-
I enjoy 10 minute games as they’re valuable to review and learn, but you don’t get the benefit of more calculation time. I try not to worry about the rating or losing on time at the cost of making solid moves. I’m happier if I get ahead on material and run out of time with a better position. Some people play really fast. Best of luck to you!

I play a lot of daily games, but to me they are just practice ground to apply in live game (15/10 rapid). When I play daily games, I usually have 1-2 specific goals, mostly to develop habits like blunder check every move, predicting opponents move etc – which are hard to cultivate during live game so doing that in daily game helps.

Does anybody know how to leave a review of this course? I’ve looked all over for a “Review” button but can’t find anything anywhere (probably for the same reason I can’t see blunders before I make them!!)
Thanks, Paul

I am usually ahead during the mid-game but get stuck in the end game. What is the best way to advance my end game? I get frustrated and start blundering in the end.

Make sure you leave yourself enough time – go to a longer time control if necessary. Also you can do endgame puzzles to give yourself more pattern recognition and understanding of strategies.
