Hey everyone and thank you for adding me to your group (even though it was automatic ;P).

i've recently rediscovered chess as a game and joined this site as a way of improving myself and having some fun playing.

i can probably be considered as a beginner since i do not posess all the basic knowledge about chess.

that's also my first question, what do you guys concider basic knowlege of chess? (stuff like control over the center, ways to anailse moves by you and your opponent)

i'm asking this question because i do not want to learn things the wrong way now and end up in trouble later (i've had that happen to me before, and beleave me it's no fun :P).

anyways, back to my story: i've been on chess.com for a couple of months now and i have seen my rating rise from 800 to about 1200 at this moment (live rating). my online rating is still not clear since i've only played 5 games. 

well i hope you guys can help me improve in chess and that i can help you too :)

best,

styxtwo 

 

PS. i'm not completely sure what to put in this journal so i'll probably start next with posting a game of mine with my own analisis and ask for your feedback.

The Journals could be whatever you would like the to be. I find great interest in reading what sort of training regimes people try to follow.

well here is a game of mine i attempted to analise, its probably full of nonsence, but i hope you guy would like to comment on it :).

this is actually a new way i'm trying out to see if it improves my skills in chess, by revisiting old games and looking at the mistakes.

what bugs me most about this game is that it took me a very long time to see the mate, and even then it was on the very last move. does anyone know a good way of training that?

 

ps: its in pink which is awesome Cool
