Ultimate guide for beginners?

Hello chess players I've recently got into Chess and am becoming obsessed with it so I want the ultimate begginers practice guide. I'm talking what to focus on, popular methods and patterns, good websites, the works I got Chessable because of a youtube ad and am focusing on opening fundamentals. My biggest problem is just remembering all the different openings or getting others mixed up but have noticed a lot of them have similar patterns like moving the pawn to E4 and then bringing out your knight to F3 Also throw in any big begginer mistakes or bad habits and replace it with good ones. Hope you guys get some good material and helps out everyone's games!

I can teach you EXACTLY how to think during the game (opening, middlegame and endgame). Your chess understanding will never be the same and you will improve a lot. I charge €10/h, but if you can’t afford too many lessons, don’t worry. I can teach you a lot in an hour. Here to help if you are interested.

If you want to study by yourself, read ‘Logical Chess’. It is really instructive book. You have it on youtube as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0eTB7oHeRgM&list=PLUrgfsyInqNa1S4i8DsGJwzx1Uhn2AqlT

Learning opening fundamentals isn’t quite the same as learning opening theory. As a beginner, focusing on the fundamentals is enough. Learning a few moves in some openings can be helpful in giving an idea of a setup. Theory is a bit of a waste of time because the opponent is less likely to follow the lines as a beginner.

do puzzles, play a lot of games, choose an opening that suits you, and study middlegames and endgames

Basically, you should simply practice as much as possible, and a good way to get better is to play against chess bots. They will help you find new strategies to use against other people!

Hello, how to perform a rocade (king/rook switch) in this app?

Play a lot of games, slower time controls are better and think about every move. Make sure you aren’t making one move blunders. Same with tactics. Learn them and puzzles are also useful. YouTube videos are also surprising helpful for trying to absorb the game. Learn the opening principles and implement them in your own game. Control the center, develop your pieces towards the center and castle your king. Then you can learn some specific opening names and ideas. But don’t go to deep, other aspects of the game are more important at the beginner level. Analysing your games is useful. you can post your games on the forums with your thought process annotated and people will likely give advice. But I would be careful who to listen to because a lot of people here including myself are Stoobid.
