I have a question about the 2 openings (Stonewall and Owen). Can you please demonstrate on the December 3rd coaching call, how to adjust the opening to various opponent moves. I often get stuck when my opponent plays something that doesn’t fit into these openings. I hope you get the gist of what I’m asking. Thanks.

I would love a rating climb using only those two openings.

In the course he really goes over all the possible things you may see. There’s the stonewall and owens videos, then there are like 3 more videos for below 800, above 800, and 1200 videos with more info. The idea is to rewatch these videos over and over and play a bot to practice. Just have to learn them

This relates to a question I had before about analyzing games with an engine (stockfish).
Nelson mentions looking at what the engine would have played. My question is if the engine gives the best move for BOTH sides, how is that helpful for me as there will be no resolution biased in MY favor?
Is the drill to see what the best move is for me…

I’ve no clue how I got out of this pickle. It was fun chasing the king around afterwards.
Stonewall attempt. 😃

Just finished module 4 (Tactics). For me, the most useful section was the one on “Why don’t I see these in my games, when I can do puzzles fine.” The idea that we simply don’t ask ourselves if a tactic is present is obvious in retrospect, but hit me like a jolt – that’s exactly what I don’t do. I’d like to add a couple of things: 1)…

James Bryce, an English philosopher from the 1800s once said, “ 3/4 of the mistakes a man makes are because he doesn’t know what he THINKS he knows.” That said, i struggle with tunnel vision, whereby i am so focused on MY plan/strategy i do NOT see those Bishops lurking on the side of the board (or Queen) and lose a key piece. How can i…

If you haven’t gotten to it yet, check out the Avoiding Blunders part of the course. I found the blunder check procedure to be really helpful.

Same boat as me. ( And thousands of others) I think we’re going to need a bigger boat. I think im playing for the other side at times. It has been said that if we can just avoid blunders we would be among the upper group of players.
Discipline is what I need. Tunnel vision is my enemy too
Keep going along with the course and improvement will come.

Stonewall for the win, This is a great opening that I don’t think many people know how to defend against. I got 2 brilliant moves in this game and really made me feel good. https://www.chess.com/live/game/121173395080

When your opponent moves a pawn in front of his king, how do you decide whether to focus on the weak squares or on a pawn that’s been weakened?

Gradually improving thanks to Nelson’s breaking 1500 course! Most accurate to date. While not stellar, I’m happy as a d class player.
