Hi I’ve starting playing past couple of months and am trying to work my way through the bots - playing them in sequence until I win and then moving on to next (as well as doing the puzzles, the lessons and playing the 10 min tournaments). I am really stuck on Jade though - she is destroying me every time - could anyone suggest particular lessons / weaknesses to focus on that jade is ruthlessly exposing ? All help appreciated. Thanks

If I recall correctly, Jade loves playing the Ruy Lopez, so I would recommend learning some RL moves and theory. It's a good opening to know anyway.

That bot is 1300 rated, the last thing you need is studying opening theory.

Instead, you should concentrate on not blundering pieces and on simple tactics.

My name is Lauren Goodkind and I'm a chess coach based in California.  Think several moves ahead. Consider all checks and captures.  And try to find a forcing winning line.  I hope that this helps.

I just beat Nelson, on a 1st try. Jade took many tries...

Congratulations! I enjoyed playing Jade. She always plays a solid game, unlike Maria (1200 Elo) who plays nothing but gambits. Jade will consistently play the Ruy Lopez 10 book moves deep, which was a good learning experience for me.
