Improvement suggestions

BerzerkVladi

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!

You should combine positional and attacking together, don’t make distractions, and blunder check your moves. Check the youtube cannel of “remote chess academy” and add both “positional” and “attacking” to the search and it will carry you until 2000. Openings for you are fine but get a response opening for each opening your opponent can make and this rule includes both colors. Go have fun.

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)

It only works because you are 600 and I don’t trust a 600 to give me an opening that willl work because they are a 600 and that goes for me too if I make a new opening no one will trust it so please stop.

How did you just reply in 1 min I don’t get the reaction time. You can promote it but don’t make 100 forums about it. Ok?

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!
