Hello, I am a new Chess player. I have played a few games IRL and a few online. I would like to know the best tips to face games with more brains. Thanks.
Dear Brokenbutcute,
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 more than 37 hours of educational videos uploaded already 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 am an International Master that specializes in beating weaker ones. I am offering my teaching services for half of his price.
When your opponent makes a move ask yourself why you think they made that move.
Once you have an answer to that.
Ask yourself, does that bother me?
Or can I do what I want instead?
I advise to the new player to always drink bottle of vodka and eat sausage covered in warm pig blood while you play the games. You think like man.

I’m new to chess and excited to learn and improve. Open to tips and always happy to connect!
I think Swot Analysis is a good way to think.
You are advising players to drink vodka? This is not a chess advise.

What are you talking about? How can any man play the game of chess and not drink vodka, smoke cigarettes and eat blood sausage and rye bread! Great Mikhail Tal drink so much and smoke so much and eat so much fatty blood sausage he die from it! But he die like man.

Tal's book "Drink like a Grandmaster" is still a classic.
The Haters will Hate!
The Nay Sayers will Nay Say!
The Old Dogs will continue to ignore New Tricks!
BUT DON’T YOU WORRY OP!
Your Friendly Neighbor Compadre gots you and the advice I gave was free of charge!
——————————
All the doubts and skepticism you have will completely vanish the moment you deliver a checkmate to your opponent!
There is no Checkmate in all of Chess that is so Thirty Quenching as the Scholar’s Mate!
Your opponent blinked his eyes and the Game is Over! You the 1, 2, Chess Punch!
THEN IT WILL HAPPEN!
A Little Smile is slowly going to creep up on your Face and it’s going to be completely unavoidable!
You’re going to try and resist, but resistance is futile! You’re just going to bust out laughing and your opponent is going to be so upset!
An at that moment, Your going to see the Chess Wonders!
- The Sun is going to Shine a little brighter!
- The Wind is going to Blow a little stronger!
- The Birds are going to sing/chirp a little louder!
Then you’re going to know in your heart that I was right!
- Downvoted into oblivion!
- Crazier vs. a Box of Rocks!
All of that doesn’t matter because You haven’t truly lived, until you have experienced the Rush of Checkmating a person with the Scholars Mate!
As you get stronger in chess, It gets harder and harder to experience the same level of thrill.
Your opponents become so strong that they don’t fall for these things any more!
I’m just 1 of the few High Level Players who doesn’t mind talking to Low Elo Players!
While it is certain that you are riding a very high horse, the problem is that there is no formula to convert horse height to rating points.
