If any beginners want to do practice games I am 1150 rated rapid and around 1000 in blitz and bullet. I also have a very high puzzle rating of 2,530 (top 1% of chess.com). Rated or unrated, no more than 15|10. I will also use game review on your games and I can coach you through your mistakes during the game (must be rapid for me to have enough time). I would recommend you are at least 150+ below my rating. Reply on this forum or send a message directly, please don’t challenge me spontaneously I probably won’t accept. Thanks, Mason

If you have any questions regarding chess improvement, openings, books, tactics, endgames, middle games, or just general tips, ask here and either a member or one of our admins will answer your question. To be honest, I’m a little surprised we don’t have a thread like this already, but now we do, and it’ll be pinned for quick access.

So, I think this is a very interesting opening idea. You have 2 dangerous bishops, and can get very easy development

Mine is beating 2200 CM in classical. Whats yours??

ONE TIME CONTROL ONLY (blitz, bullet, rapid, daily) Must be CHESS (i.e. not some random 960 game) What I will do: - Look at recent games in that time control, around 10-30 games depending on how much time I feel like spending (this is decided arbitrarily) - Write somewhere around five paragraphs criticizing all the moves and their grandsons on what was done wrong - includes diagrams, games - topics covered are (in order of most coverage to least coverage, estimated guess) will be opening play, thinking, strategy, tactics Here's an example (from discord): ignore background lol this is in messages

Here is my top 10 favourite songs. They all help me to play good chess, as I am either relaxed and focused, or enraged, hyped and focused. If anyone wants to listen to what Cobra listens to, then here you go; 10. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9qfwNbIQNXs 9. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPcKATBt1LQ 8. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXDVkopOa2Y 7. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AL8chWFuM-s 6. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTWKbfoikeg 5. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8qM-UuFH7Qs 4. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rqkMsXcHQYg 3. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYwmRTUCrVw 2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1HDt1tknTc 1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NwFVSclD_uc just so ya know IDRC about the lyrics, just the tune.

Hi

This is for people to brag about their wins that don't have any significant meaning (i.e. swindles) or learning opportunities. This way, we don't have to deal with "omg look at this draw" threads and stuff where you play through the game, type "wow nice draw!" and unfollow the forum for the rest of your life situations. Now that I said all that, look at this draw!

As we grow bigger by the day, we have more and more members posting threads ... which is absolutely fantastic! However, some threads are more important than others, as while some threads may help 50 people, another thread may only help the thread poster due to it's specific and unique question. From now, those type of questions will be posted here, in this megathread. Teachers; check her periodically, or even turn on notifications for it so you can get pinged when someone asks a question - it can be a fun place to answer specific, unique questions! Students; know the difference between a question that deserves it's own thread, and one that doesn't. For example, a question that can be answered with a simple "yes" or "no" should be posted here. A question that may dive into theory, tactics, or deeper dialogue does not. For example; "Why did the engine recommend ng6?" would belong here, because the answer is likely to be brief and after it's initially answered, the thread will die. If the answer can end the thread, post the question here. A question like "Is trading a queen for two rooks good or bad" can have it's own thread, because the answer cannot be defined by one person, as one person may say good, while another may say bad. Basically, if the question leads to further discussion without a definitive answer, make a thread for it, as other people will benefit from it. Nobody really benefits from "yes" or "no" questions, and they may hide other useful, more helpful threads from being seen. Also, don't overthink it. We love the activity, as we pride ourselves as being the most active club on chess.com. So, when in doubt, make a thread for it and people will jump to help you. But, if you have a quick question that isn't too pressing and you just want a quick answer, post it here. thanks everybody! and here's to becoming the best chess players we can be!

someone told me that this was a good place for tips, help please?
