This just dropped in the lessons - great timing I was only reading about this game yesterday! ---

Outstanding! It’s one of two games I’ve memorized because I like it so much! ---

Opera lesson is amazing! Just completed it. This game has been a long time favorite of mine and the lesson lived up to it extremely well! Unfortunately, at the start of the lesson I had trouble capturing pieces and had to manually unpause the video (this is the only lesson I have ever had trouble with). I then paused the lesson, turned my board off, resumed the video and everything worked extremely smooth the rest of the way through. Very impressed, thank you ChessUp for bringing us this lesson! ---

We are working on the pause and release mechanism and will have that smoother in the near future. I have it happen too - where I have to manually continue on occasion. We will get that fixed. ---

I’m having issues with the opera game, I’m trying to do the first move but it does not recognize my move to e4 ---
