Obviously my opponent didn’t play well, but that was a fun Stonewall.

Noticing that I win often as white. Almost never as black. May need to change my approach as black.

Nicely done. I think I heard your opponent cursing through my screen after that checkmate!

Looking back at it, I can’t believe how much I used to blunder (I was not new to chess by any means in early 2024)! The pictures below show an analysis of some of my losses in early and late 2024. In all of my losses (from a random sample of matches), I blundered more than 3 times in every single match. A personal favourite was one match in…

“A personal favourite was one match in early 2024 where I blundered 13 times!!”
I got a good chuckle from this as I recently read a chess.com forum post where a user said, “it’s not a blunder if your opponent blunders harder”. To get 13 blunders in one game means your opponent was blundering just as hard as you were. LOL.
And kudos on the…

Keith, for the record I just whizzed through some of those games from early 2024. Those numbers I put down were actually wrong. I guess maybe I used to think mistakes and misses were blunders? Either way, I still made enough of them in practically every game.
Glad you had a laugh at least!!

This game is pretty typical of the ones I lose (I am playing White). Things were going reasonably well until around move 22. There, I decided to press on with an attack that I knew was probably too optimistic instead of playing a simple move like 22. b4 to defend my pawn. I definitely have a tendency to do this, and sometimes it works out,…

Yep. I think move 22 was the turning point. Then you did something I do All The Time, keep on keeping on with “The Plan” even though the situation has changed. A well fought battle none the less.

Another Stonewall – didn’t go according to plan, but I managed to eke out a win. Please let me know if I missed an easier path to win.

For the lesson 4.16 advanced interference tactic @12:00, you mention the first move is to move the king to c2 so that we can interfere with the bishop. This seems logical, but then what is the opponent moves the knight on e5 to d3. d3 is covered by the white rook so it can safely move there and at the same time it attacks our rook which is…

sorry I meant to say timestamp of @10:54, @nelson9842me-com

I suppose it might wind up being a trade, since he takes our rook and we take his rook with the king, not sure how you get out of that nicely.

Anyone have thoughts on this?

Hi Joseph, I think it’s better to set up a discover check if ke5-d3, you may probably end up with a bishop and you can snag all pawns and promote one of yours. I got confused too 😉

So you are saying to go with your plan in case the knight goes to attack the rook? @Ique76

I got 1400 this morning! What a game! My hands are still shaking 🙂 This is the game: https://www.chess.com/live/game/124275554541
And I’d also like to share a screenshot of my rating change. You can guess when I bought the course 🙂 It really looks like a cliche from a marketing clip 🙂 🙂

I lasted with Stonewall till move 53 and lost on time pressure and feeling of lost position but it looks like I still could have drawn. Please let me know where I stumbled. Thanks!

I’m finding the Stonewall Attack quite challenging to play. It’s probably me, because it’s effective in the early stages but I’ve played a few games trying it out and I keep encountering moves that throw a spanner in the works and end up playing defensively as a result.
I won the latest but it was partly because of opportunities missed by…
