For Beginners

For beginner chess players, focus on fundamental principles: control the centre with pawns, develop pieces (knights and bishops) early towards the centre, castle your king to safety, and avoid bringing the queen out too soon. (I am a 174 elo player, but I have been playing chess for 2 years now)

Playing chess does not mean chess.com

I've known how to play chess since I was 6 but I only made my account last year

Technically I only started playing chess properly like 2 years ago

I created an account not long ago, but I play very rarely. I just played against a bot and ended in a draw, even though he had only one king left. I still don't quite understand how it works, especially who the king can beat and who he can't. After my brain boils over with thoughts, I come here and relax in an atmosphere of pleasant and simple games that are no worse than chess, even better because they bring not only a good mood and relaxation but also pleasant bonuses for winning.

Your game was a draw because the same position was played three times.

I'll add on to this. In the middle game, try not to blunder your pieces, and if that's difficult just focus on keeping your rook and queen alive. Learn basic endgames like king vs king + queen and king vs king + rook and how to win them. Learn basic mating patterns like ladder mate and backrank mate.

If you do just this much I'm sure you'll surpass 600 elo in no time.

Why is a 170 giving advice?

Is any of their advice wrong?

Their elo mainly just depicts how well they can apply the advice (and also their blunders, but that's a different story), not their knowledge about it

We need knowledge, not chatgpt bs. Are you gonna take your finance advice from a rich guy or a poor guy?

Fair analogy, i accept my mistake

Nice. I have nothing against anyone giving advice, but if youre completely new to chess and try to give advice to more experienced players by using AI, i just think its a little snobby and disrespectful.to players who actually worked hard and have actual experience

Also, anyone who plays chess for 2 years shouldnt be below 300.

What if they just never wanted to improve? Maybe they just have fun spamming random premoves in bullet, i know i do

That is great, but then why are they giving advice. I know tons of 100s that just have fun playing, and i love that people can be so chill, but not a single one of them would ever give advice

I mean people can give advice while being chill, but then it wouldn't really be their advice, would it? you have a fair point

Well yeah, he used AI. Its just all the chill 100s i know, know that they are bad and wouldnt dare give even.sm1 elses advice (just a personal opinion)
