If i got upset after loosing a few games from blunders I would have stop playing

40 years ago... your mind set should always be I'm going to do My best try not to think about loosing...

Just try to play the best moves you can ( to your ability) also try to play in your level. That means beginner level play blizts at your level 1000-1299 max you will know when to up the level when your rating go up and stays at that rating then 

try a hard rating level My blitz rating is always between 1400- 1650 and regular play rating 1899- 2050 it flots in there up and down I get about a string of 5 games then I loose a few some times blunders....

We should play some blitzs put Me on your friends list I'm on a lot we can play some none rated games 20minutes I could point out your mistakes and help you

also with some openings.

Lets play soon you also should join a club MY group is the the dream team We need all levels of players it's good to be on a team i also do puzzle for the team,

They come from books I could do them without a book but then  someone might analize them and maybe find faster way to check mate.....hahahaha

M.j. today I'll be at home I'm on all the time you'll find Me here

Marc, it get disappointed after doing some blunders n use 2 loose d game but now i will nt loose d hopes

I'm just starting to try to learn openings. I'm losing a lot of games but I am learning from them. I'm also just starting to write comments. I recently purchased the Chess Openings for Black and White, Explained books and they are very helpful. Before that I was working with IM Silman's book, Reassess Your Chess which is also very helpful for understanding and actually applying the principles of strong chess play. Thanks for the tips and encouragement to keep working at improving.

My favorite opening is the sicilian dragon

The basics,

always try to control the center,knights come out before bishops.

and don't take your Queen out to fast, Castle quickly(protect your King)

look for weak areas to attack...

be patient....

have fun and don't get discouraged

Hi To All beginners...

Here's a few books that I found helpful Yasser Seirawan,  Openings, Tactics, Strategies, all three helped Me.

Find a good chess program, Chess Master any edition,

Schach training  this program is very good a little expensive but worth it.(150$)

The trick is to study and put it in practice, also playing and learning by your mistakes...

Read as many chess books as possible.

have fun

M.J.
