Improving Your Chess - Resources for Beginners and Beyond…
https://www.chess.com/blog/RussBell/improving-your-chess-resources-for-beginners-and-beyond
Learn exactly how to think in the opening, middlegame and endgame — this is what I teach.
Always blunder-check your moves.
Solve tactics in the right way.
Analyze your games.
Study games of strong players.
Learn how to be more psychologically resilient.
Work on your time management skills.
Get a coach if you can.
You should try classical openings such as kings pawn knight variations or 1. e4 e5 2. Bd3 (bishop developed) 3. c4 (space grab) 4. Nf3 (knight out) 5. Nc3 (second knight out) 6. Be2 (bishop moved to open d3) 7. d3 (center support + bishop opens) 8. O-O (king castled, rook activated)
Dear Chess BerzerkVladi,
My name is Gabor Balazs. I’m a Hungarian FIDE Master and a certified, full-time chess coach, so I hope I can help you. Everybody is different, so that's why there isn't only one given way to learn and improve.
First of all, you have to discover your biggest weaknesses in the game and start working on them. The most effective way for that is analyzing your own games. There is a built-in engine on chess.com which can show you if a move is good or bad but the only problem is that it can't explain to you the plans, ideas behind the moves, so you won't know why it is so good or bad.
In my opinion, chess has 4 main areas (openings, strategies, tactics/combinations and endgames) and if you want to improve efficiently, you should improve all of these skills almost at the same time. That's what my training program is based on. My students enjoy the lessons because they cover multiple aspects of chess in an engaging and dynamic way, keeping the learning process both stimulating and efficient. Of course, there are always ups and downs but this is completely normal in everyone's career.
If you would like to learn more about chess, you can take private lessons from me (you find the details on my profile) or you can visit my Patreon channel (www.patreon.com/Bgabor91), where you can learn about every kind of topics (openings, strategies, tactics, endgames, game analysis). There are around 43 hours of educational videos uploaded already (some of them are available with a FREE subscription) and I'm planning to upload at least 4 new videos per week, so you can get 4-6 hours of educational contents every month. I also upload daily puzzles in 4 levels every day which are available with a FREE subscription.
I hope this is helpful for you. Good luck with your games!
Hello,
I`ve started playing ~3 weeks ago and stuck between 700 and 750 elo on rapid
Would be thankful for suggestions how to improve.
form my own observations i prefer an aggressive and quick playstyle, even consider focussing more on blitz than rapid. I play while working / having calls / writing mails etc so sometimes i fully blunder due to lack of concentration.
any suggestions which opening i should focus on? feel that Queens Gambit is the one i play most. if starting as black sometimes i simply get swept away.
thanks in adavance!
