Interesting. I’d suggest beginners learn opening principles and how to think through their moves ( why am I moving this piece here now and not elsewhere? Or why not another piece?). Beginners have little known pattern recognition so it becomes crucial early on to learn to think through your moves. Memorizing opening sequences will offer poor return on time invested.

Beginners (especially -900) should be sticking with stuff like e4 e5 and d4 d5 and instead focus on not making blunders. They should also try to follow opening principles, but it is not time yet to learn different openings.

Hi! My name is Lauren Goodkind and I’m a chess coach and chess YouTuber based in California:

I offer a lot of resources for beginners to get better.  

-I  offer a  free beginner’s free eBook on my website, www.ChessByLauren.com . The book is about asking questions before each move.  

-Learn basic tactics such as the fork, discovered attack, pin, and more.  I offer interactive puzzles on my website: https://www.chessbylauren.com/two-choice-puzzles.php  

-I wrote two books for beginners:  “50 Poison Pieces”   and “Queen For A Day: The Girl’s Guide To Chess Mastery.”  Both books are available on Amazon.com.  Both books are endorsed by chess masters!  

-I also offer  chess coaching on Zoom.  

  

-Also consider all checks and captures on your side and also your opponent’s side. Always as, “If I move here, where is my opponent going to move?”

I hope that this helps.

I’m different and learned how to attack or counter attack and find check mates. Shoot now and ask questions later. Shot up from 700 to 1280 in blitz within two months. 

Afterwards I learned one opening as white and 3 defences as black now my reportorial. Still working on that.
