The Wrong Way to Teach Beginners Chess:

As a professional chess trainer, one of the most common mistakes I see with beginners is the reliance on boring, overly complex openings and positional concepts too early. Introducing intricate strategies and long-term plans can overwhelm new players and stunt their development. Instead, focus on building a strong foundation with basic tactics like forks, pins, and skewers. Encourage open, dynamic positions where they can practice piece coordination and the importance of initiative. Gambits, while risky, can offer valuable learning experiences and teach them how to think actively. The ultimate goal is to make chess fun and engaging while ensuring they learn core principles that will allow them to improve quickly.
