I had the great pleasure of talking to GM Jacob Aagaard. He took a deeply respectable approach as a GM, thinking out loud as I tested him with positions (he tested me, too, with five positions!). A great coach doesn’t just lecture—they solve problems with you. 👇

A student came up with a brilliant name for a mistake he kept making: The Tennis Fallacy 🎾😂 He said we often see the board like a tennis court—danger coming from the "other side" (4th/5th rank as the net). This makes us miss enemy pieces on our side attacking across the net.

Another excellent video, thank you for posting it. 🙏 Sadly I didn’t solve the last puzzle as a Christmas decoration obscured the bishop on c1, so rather than being winning, g5 looked like a blunder! 🤦‍♂️
