Hi, I’m really enjoying the course, but I agree with the post of another participant about the absence of Nelson. i would expect him to be around and involved. Maybe it will happen… second, I wonder why Nelson chose only one opening to each color, and these openings are not the ones i used to play. I would prefer if he would choose more…

He explained his choices, that they’re both solid, and both can generally be played against most of what your opponent may play. So they’re relatively consistent and versatile.

With practice I know these two openings are fine up until at least 1100 because I just broke it. Of course Ive been over 1000 a few times and back down to 850 but its my fault. I’m still stealing pawns with owens and have learned to like it because its becoming more familiar regardless of what white plays. I have tried long castling and…

Pretty fun game where I was defending/loosing untill they made a mistake and I finally got to use the “windmill” tactic in the end and win. 🙂
Do you guys have any cool or inspirational games to share where you also opened with the Stonewall or Owens?

Nice find toward the end! Windmills are my favorite tactic.. more fun than smothered mate. Okay, maybe an en pessant mate would be the holy grail, but that’s crazy rare.

Also nice end game tactics! Queening to take his rook.

@Heybroek Today I had a rook lift to trap the queen, in the stone wall attack.

Any specific detils on how to modify the stonewall if your opponent sets up the King’s Indian? I’m really struggling with that.
-
Stone Wall against a King’s Indian set up is indeed a difficult one. But a good thing is you see the set up coming. In such a case I always go for a big pawn center majority.

Is anyone else having trouble seeing the videos? I’m unable to see any of the lesson videos on this course.

Yes, I have just sent an email to the support address
-
I submitted a ticket, sounds like some things were being updated at that time. Looks like it works now.

Bishop + pawn vs 4 pawns and I managed to lose it. My end game sucks even more than my openings and mid-game….. I’m having a bad day, might be time to have a break, that’s two in a row I’ve lost

Can anyone help me please?
Why is the review recommending my rook go to c7? Why would their queen not take my rook?
-
Oh man…..I’m still getting used to learning how to use the stockfish analysis. I can see what I missed now. Think that is called a decoy…..bit beyond my level at the moment but I can see how useful it is in that situation. What a missed opportunity! Cost me the game. 🙁

Nelson, based on your Break 1500, I’m getting there (rated +1400 Classical). Here’s an exciting game where I used your course to my advantage: I am White with 1 Blunder, my challenger had 2.
