What chess books do you reccomend? I have the 50 memorable bobby fischer games book. Also, I do 20-30 puzzles a day. My opening repertiore is simple, nothing special:
Against e4: pirc/modern, sicilian dragon
against d4: KID, dutch
against c4: dutch
White: fried liver/london/stonewall
how much time do you think i have???
I cannot analyze my games as chesskid does not have that feature.
Your dad is 2100. He didn't analyze his games with chesskids right? So ask him how to analyze.
A simple repertoire is fine... almost none of the openings you mention are simple, but that's fine too.
As for books, I recommend Pachman's "Modern Chess Strategy" and Shereshevesky's "Endgame Strategy"
read both... me dad said he analyze with chess.com
besides i hit 1300 today
It will take a few years to get to 2100. Sorry to break it to you. Llama's advice is pretty good.

I wouldnt recommend u to play the dutch or the kid or the dragon, all three of these openings are highly theoretical and sharp. but if u think u can handle it, sure ig. And for white pieces, the openings that u said u play are vastly different, at least when comparing the london and the fried liver, so I would suggest u to stick to 1 opening like the london( I play it myself and I have good results with it)
Good luck!
Enjoy the game. Play chess with your friends. If you play for fun, you will forget to count the hours. And btw, 1300 is very good at your age.
Sounds like you’re on your way up. That’s great!
I'm 10 years old. I use ChessKid mainly, and when I turn 11, my dad said he would transfer me to Chess.com. My rating is 1157, and I play with my friends on another site, but when I go into a tournament there and ask a titled/2000+ player how i can improve, it is always the same thing. "Get Good." I play 3 hrs a week, and study for 2 hrs a week. Is that enough to reach my goal of 1800 by the time I am in college? is 1200 average for my age? I want to beat my dad very badly and he is 2100...
