when my mom first played chess against me i kept winning in four move for like the first ten games. then she learned how to stop it then i kept winning in 5 moves now she can play a intiar game vs me.

Wow, i beat my mom in like..what, 7 moves? youre pretty good//

I think you are lying. Or your Mom lets you win. You are seriously the worst opponent I have ever played and I have been playing for 40 years.

You play to many games. You take to long to move. Chess is a serious game to most of us. Not a Sims game where the opponents are computer generated AI units.

Play your games then waste time blogging and posting.

 Let him take his time..

and you been playing for 40 years and rated 1300 while i been playing for less then 2 years and rated 1800..

What do you give her on Mother's Day, a black eye?! You're supposed to let your mom win.

No way! Just cause she ur mum don't mean u have to let them win. They love u regardless of u beating them or not. Just gives her a target to beat him back.

When i was a beginner i set small goals for my self to give me an idea of how much better i was getting. First goal was to be the best in my family, fortunatly no one in my family are masters or even serious tournament players, so it only took a few mths.

2nd i went to a chess club in my area (which i can recommend for anyone) and i got beaten so badly by a mid level player of about 1300+ ACF rating. This gave me a new set of goals. Get better so i can beat this player, which took me about 12-18mths roughly. Then i set my goals to beating the best players in the club who were about 1500-1600+ players. Which took me 2yrs to equal them. Then i set my goal to become the club champion and the best player in my area. All of which i had achieved by 2000. I became the highest the next year.

So one of the best things u can do to help improve is set goals big enough to challenge u but not so big u cant get there in reasonable time.

To achieve the results of course means lots of studying chess in all the area's and then playing alot, losing a lot and then writing notes and learning from each game you play.

Don't just be content beating ur mother kiddo move on to bigger fish.
