Chess Tutorials Are Dumb.

Is it me? Or is every book and video in existence about how to "play" chess is like...

Ok, here is the board, now here are your pieces.

now go win 100 games in a row nitwit.

Like I don't know why it's like that. And it's probably the reason everyone sucks at chess so badly this happens.

It's like the people who made these are trying to somthing very sus... :/

And I don't like it.

you played 30 games, practice

i have 1000 games and 3000 puzzles

how do I practace if I lose in 5 seconds

legit...

look at the pieces

knight goes L shape

Rook goes cross

Bishop goes on colored diagonal

Queen is rook/bishop

Pawn Is crab

King is a coward who run everywhere.

there is nothing more to chess. after you realize this, go do some puzzles and actually...

think

Uhh... That wasnt a tip. You just summerized of what I said in the first place.

Roses are red

Which I cannot bear

King is a coward who run everywhere.

perfection at its finest, imma save this

thx

wow

Some are, some aren't. There are some great books out there. But make sure you read a book that is in harmony with your playing level. 

what do ou mean by book? And they don't sing so I don't know what your talking about

A lot of tutorials don't start at the beginning.

Which is something like this...

Queen is worth 9
Rooks are worth 5
Bishops are 3
Knights are 3
Pawns are 1

When you play, try not to lose any points. So if you lose a pawn for free you lost 1 point. If you trade your rook for their knight you lost 5-3 = 2

Play at least 100 games (bullet and blitz don't count) where you're doing nothing but trying to win points, and doing your best not to lose points, and also follow the opening principles (which is a link you can click).

You will lose a lot in the beginning, but this is how it works for anything. It takes time to get good.

After your first ~100 games you'll be used to how the pieces move and you can move on to more advanced ideas.

But most beginners think "oh I lost a pawn that's not important"

Or even "I lost a knight or bishop, those can't checkmate anyway so that's not important"

But that's not how it works. Losing anything is very important. You have to be super greedy. Don't lose anything for free, not even a pawn, and try to win your opponent's pieces. That's the first chess lesson

a pawn is just a tin pawn, it's just 1 point. losing 1 point dosn't kill you. but losing 9 points is.

alspo what is a opening? :/

a specific set of moves to play in the beginning to get a position you like.

the moves can also "develop" pieces, which basically means to move them into the action of the game. these moves are often called "theory" and in a match, they are "book moves".

Keyword being "can"

haha yes crab go brr

Ultimate carb go brr
