Hello there, I'm full beginner at Chess. I want to reach the point of at least 1600-1800-2000 elo in the coming years. Can you offer to me a plan how to study Chess? I only have 1 hour per day, but can train every day. sorry if there are some mistakes :)

Can you increase the time a little on game days? My suggestion is 30 minutes of tactics puzzles everyday. As a beginner your tactical knowledge, calculation and visualisation skills are likely to be weak. Puzzles will help develop these and improve your board vision. IMO puzzles are better at developing these skills than play. Play a few 30 minute games every week and analyse them yourself, so you may need 1h30 on game days to have time for analysis. Dont play blitz or bullet if your time is short, it wont help you improve much. Work through the chess.com lessons. Watch John Bartholomew chess fundamentals series on you tube. That will do you for the next 6 months if you only have an hour a day.

Dear Sergey,

I can help you with improving all of your skills (openings, strategies, tactics, endgames and analysing your own games) at chess. I am an official, full-time chess coach. Let me introduce myself. happy.png

My name is Gabor Balazs. I am a Hungarian FM, fighting for the IM title. My top ELO is 2435. I have been playing chess for 21 years. I won the Hungarian Rapid Championship twice (U16 and U18).

I love teaching chess and it is very important for me that both of us enjoy the lessons beside the hard work. I have pupils almost all the levels from beginners to advanced players (1100-2200 ELO).

You can see a lot of feedbacks from my coaching services here: https://www.chess.com/forum/view/chess-lessons/feedbacks-from-my-services

You spent how much time playing blitz games today? And you have only 1 hour to spend on studying?

Take the lessons and watch the videos you're paying for.

Nothing, in life, is free and time is the most precious resource of them all.

I think the best way for a beginner to improve is after a game, analyze for blunders and opening mistakes. Most players would choose to play games in succession.

If you are ambitious to reach 2000 spend less time on blitz to free up time for study and quality games and analysis. You could do puzzles in your blitz time which might free up a 30 minute block for something that requires a larger chunk of time. If your time is limited try to be smart about how you use it.
