      Just won a game in 12 moves with the Owens !! Think it’s a tricky opening to play against if you’re not familiar with it – thanks again Nelson . Also getting more puzzles right on Chess.com armed with some of the tactics module . It could easily be a course in it’s own right !!

      • You should post the link to the game so we can see it

        • Unfortunately my techno knowledge is very limited 😵‍💫 – if I knew how , I would certainly , if you can help , please do !!!

          • Assuming you are using chess.com, pull up the game you played and copy the http link in the browser, it should be something like chess.com/live/blahblah/bunchofnumbers. I post my game earlier, about an hour ago and you can see from my post what the link looks like

          • I’m not at all familiar with ” pulling things from a browser ” – it’s like a foreign language to me ! I can find the game on Chess.com alright – but after that …. please forgive my slowness !

            • Are on a computer or a phone? Also, i was just suggesting, you don’t have to post it, it’s not a big deal

          • Agree the tactics are great

            • When you copy the link, just paste it into your post here and it will load it into your post

              • Where is the link ? Told you I’m totally thick with this kind of thing !

              • I have Chess.com on my phone & also a Lenovo tablet – no computer . I would like to share the game with you , for sure , but it’s the getting it you ! I’m sure It’s simple once I know how 😤 . If all else fails , my Chess.com name is WildSam21 , perhaps you could see the game from there ? It’s a daily game , only it took about an hour . Only my 3rd daily game it’s against ” theAppriciable “

                • Oh ok, yeah, sorry i don’t play on the phone so I don’t know how to do it from the app, maybe someone else can read this and tell u

                • Could you be able to find it from my Chess.com account ( above ) go to members or something ? Alternatively : long hand 😂 :

                  • Thank you v much for that – no idea what you did nor how you did it !! Yes it was nice to see it in action in your own game !! Never heard of it prior to the course & think it surprises a few ! Also trying out the Stonewall attack ( also new to me ) , seems Nelson chose wisely for us !!!

                    • Thanks again , guess I’m an older guy too , getting back into chess after about a 43 year absence ( after playing for the school ) primarily to help recovery from a stroke last year . The chess bug has bitten me again 😵‍💫 , but the online stuff is still comparatively new to me , though more than welcome !! Enjoy your chess & this course 😀

                    • Found it on Chess.com – nice game
