      Hi All,
      I have joined recently and still going through modules but wanted to ask how’s people experience playing with Stonewall and Owen’s defence openings

      • They are both playable in a variety of ways and I have found knowing a specific opening helps me feel as if things are more predictable. I win some and lose some but thats my inconsistency and no fault of the opening.

        • I absolutely love the stonewall. I highly recommend it. As for the Owen’s defense, I am struggling a lot. I can’t find my rhythm with it.

          • @Anubis_Oni I tried couple of time but neither time opponent played ideal lines so it got messed up and had to play on fly

            • @anandbadianihotmail-com I can completely relate to that. I have been studying the French attack, and Dutch attack. I am really liking them. The biggest benefit I’ve noticed, is that even if they don’t follow traditional lines or the way that it was explained, I still find myself in good positions to have counter play.

          • I am liking both openings and have been doing well (ok, not sucking too hard) with both. What I like about the Owen’s is that it seems to take a lot of players by surprise and they don’t know how to respond. Several times that bishop that you fianchetto on move two will sit there the entire game until it lasers across the board to be crucial in playing a checkmate.

            • I am going through other modules and then give them a go again so have better tactics in middle game
