Hey guys what is the best way to get good if I’m brand new?
Thanks for your input and look forward to chatting!
Do chess com lessons and puzzles (daily, rated, rush). Keep playing rapid (not blitz) for experience. Get a habit of blunder-checking before each move.
People recommend Daily games, so you have lots of time to think and then that good thinking gets transferred to faster games. People discourage faster games than Rapid for similar reasons.
Yeah the faster formats are for people who already played so much they have the good moves in "brain muscle" memory and developed a useful intuition. Stick with the rapid and try to not give away pieces for free. Doing some puzzles will help to recognize certain situations on the board where you can make a good move (or what a good move even looks like).
I'm looking at your Daily games now, and the lesson(s) on opening principles might not be a bad place to start, assuming you know all the basics already.
Learn and apply the most important principles of chess. - (core of my teaching)
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.
Hey guys :wq
I need your help because I don't know how to play better .I think I'm so bad What I have to do?
Looking at your last game I'd say
1) look at opening principles - take central space with pawns, develop knights, develop bishops, castle (not always in that order but it is the default from which you can deviate if necessary)
2) like ChessMasteryOfficial suggests: always blunder-check your moves. What does that mean? A blunder (usually) means giving away your warriors for free. If you place your piece on an unprotected square (none of your other pieces attacks that square) AND if your opponent attacks that square with one or more pieces - then you blundered and your opponent can just take your piece without punishment, that's really bad. Both you and your opponent did that A LOT in that game. Which leads to
3) blunder-check your opponents moves as well - did your opponent put a piece on a square where it isn't defended and you can take it? Your opponent blundered numerous pieces in that game but you didn't punish them.
