Hello, this is a great group and I look forward learning some chess tactics.

Hi, I learned to play chess fairly recently, looking to improve.

help needed any one want to play and c?  1100 myself.  Self taught so no theroy in vault.  Maybe some good reading for some basic openings and how to work them may be a good start!  I dont know.  Thanks

Hi Lowded,

The best start, believe it or not, is learning your endgames. It is a lot better to learn the basics of chess with only a small number of pieces on the board than it is with all 32!

Check out http://chesstalk.com/boutique/store/

Click "chess books" then "beginners" and you will find a list of books available.

While learning chess openings is a vital part of playing chess, I recommend only a very basic opening knowledge to begin with while you are learning endgames and tactics. If you need more help, send me a message here.

Happy King hunting!!

Hi, I'd really appreciate a mentor. I don't think I have a rating yet, unless the tactics trainer rating counts. Please let me know to proceed.

I'm looking for a little more solid middlegame principles and theory lessons.  I have a lot of solid endgame theory and a few comfortable openings, but I always seem to blunder or miss a solid line right in the middle of the game.  Any good book recomendations or mentors out there?
