My chess improvement journey
Hi guys. In my first blog post, I will be sharing how I started my chess improvement journey. When I joined chess.com on 13 May 2025, I was curious to know about this game. When I was exploring this site, I saw article on chess improvement challenge. I was very curious to to see that. After that I got to know that there were two study guides on chess.com. They were chess.com old study guide and chess.com new study guide.
I decided to study both the chess guides. So, I completed the lessons listed in the chess.com new study guide till playing the game. I have not played a game till now because I am following chess.com old study guide also. I am currently watching Carlsen vs Nakamura 2017 speed chess championship final as it is listed in that guide. It will take 8 days more to complete the video as I get only 30 minutes in a day to study and play chess and the video is 4 hours long.
Once I play 10 rapid games on chess.com, I can join sunday chess improvement challenge. I will also stream that event. I will also follow chess.com news as it is listed in the old study guide. I will read some chess books such as Bobby Fischer teaches to play chess and my 60 memorable games. I will also watch some chess movies such as Searching for Bobby Fischer, The Queen of Katwe, magnus and obviously the most popular, Queens Gambit.
