Training Problems

I dont know how to train chess, I usually just play chess or watch youtube and call it “training” so of anyone got tips, they would greatly help! (Idc if you’re 2500, 1500 or 500, any tips would help)

Go to lichess, login or sign up, go to the puzzle themes and find your weaknesses ( eg. you often loose in 2 bishops endgames, select it and start doing puzzles, if you often loose in the middle game, select middle game and if you have openings you’ve never seen and someone plays them, go to analysis put the book moves in and play against the max bot and after loosing, analyze it. Learn the reason of ur mistakes, etc.)

WTP and mate in 5 | Solving Time: ~15 minutes | Elo Level: ~2000 | The hint is simple: Try not to go for the obvious. Try solving it first rather than clicking the solution button, so that you actually learn!

No opening traps!
Hint: Fall for it

I made a collection of puzzles(?) here: https://lichess.org/study/xpjFUot8

Although the original goal was to practice winning very won positions, finding the shortest checkmates should serve as nice puzzles. Some are beginner, some are beginner-intermediate.

Below is the type of puzzle I enjoy the most, as it challenges and sharpens the essential skill of calculation in chess. Even though the problem is probably suited for intermediate players, I have included some instructional comments in the solution that should benefit players who are not yet as tactically strong.

White to play after Black's last move, 1. ..Ra3, moving the rook from a8.

I dis this puzzle in less than 5min

Ok I have one. I have been working on some endgame stuff and I keep messing up the rook pawn ending. Attached is a puzzle that I got wrong. My question is, is there a rule of thumb like; move the king before the pawns.

What I did wrong in the puzzle was moved my H file pawn before trying to capture the black pawns with my king, so I got it wrong. When I ran stockfish it shows that the advantage goes to dead even if I move my pawn before the king.

Hello, this is a position taken from a game I had in the game, I repeated moves and a draw, but there is a tactic here that leads to a mate
White to move and win 
good luck

Then 61. e5 and white will promote the e pawn in time

Very hard king and pawn endgame I guess for Master level. Find the right move for both sides. https://www.chess.com/game/live/136375731334?move=87

Very cool and in the resulting queen and pawn endgame white can still try to win but it is a theoretical draw. I once saw a 2200 fide player lose something like this in a classical game

I think I understand now. We want to skewer the king and the queen as White so we want to queen the c-pawn first and black shouldn't waste time taking e3-pawn due to the skewer to his queening square on g1.
