I can teach you EXACTLY how to think during the game (opening, middlegame and endgame). Your chess understanding will never be the same and you will improve a lot. I charge €35/h (if you can't afford it, we can negotiate the price). If you can’t afford too many lessons, don’t worry. I can teach you a lot in an hour. Here to help if you are interested.
If you want to study by yourself, read ‘Logical Chess’. It is really instructive book. You have it on youtube as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0eTB7oHeRgM&list=PLUrgfsyInqNa1S4i8DsGJwzx1Uhn2AqlT
Hello Everyone
im new to the study of chess, but have played many games and know the obvious rules. I don’t get the weirder ones yet, like en passant and stuff like that. When I play on the chess app, my rating ranges from 100 to 1050 depending on the game. I don’t have an elo beyond the ratings the computer gives you when you finish a game.
With all that out of the way, I’m looking for a few books to get me started studying the game. For now I’m shying away from memorizing openings because I’ve a terrible memory for things like this. Never could easily remember formulas in math and chemistry back in high school, for example, and conjugations in soanish, so I’m imagining that work will be rigorous. For now, I’m trying to learn the game better and understand its principles. I feel once I have a better handle on those things, the memorization might come a little easier!
My goals are to improve to where I can play the computer consistently around 1000 elo and jump off from there.
Thanks for any and all suggestions! I cannot read paper books, unfortunately, I have a genetic condition which affects my vision. Kindle versions are much easier on my eyes because of the dark background and white lettering, so if you know the book in question you are suggesting is only print, then I won’t be able to read it. Just thought I’d mention that!
Side Note: I’m really excited to put some time into the game! Hopefully I can improve! Thanks again.
