HELP!!!...please?
Sort:
I'm pretty dang new to the game. I keep watching lessons on youtube but with all the different variations is super hard without having someone to bounce things off of. I really want to learn the game and do well. If anyone is interested on buddying up with me to help that'd be awesome.
I highly recommend Gothamchess (Levy Rozman) on YouTube. He is very instructive and easy to understand. Also, I would recommend getting started with Chessable. They have a lot of free courses including openings.
Yeah what EthanAtwell64 said
That's funny. I'm just reading this and that's who I've been watching. Thanks tho y'all
Buddying up is a good idea, especially if you are both motivated to improve. Join a good and active group and play 'vote chess' matches as the collaboration involved is highly valuable. Don't worry about openings or variations. Just memorize the opening principles and stick to them. Sit on your hands before you make a move and check if you are going to blunder or if your opponent is going to mate you or win material. Analyze your games and understand where you went wrong and how you should have prevented something or won something. Tactics are fundamental in chess, and you need to start building a mental collection of many many positions, so get solving puzzles and do it as regularly as you want to improve. It's a bumpy ride so don't be too hard on yourself when you plateau or feel like you're getting worse. Good luck and have fun
