If you had to give one tip or piece of advice for beginners starting to learn chess what would it be. If they wanted to improve. Or more specifically what’s some good advice for U1000s?

Get one book that is a beginner course like this one,and read it many times until the U 1000 player know and can do everything that it teach: I bought the big one with 22 lessons and I did read it 3 times in a few years apart and I still learn something the third time when i was U1300

10/0 is way too fast....15/10 at least....or a 30 min game.taking your time mean looking very carefully to each move of both players....even 15/10 is too fast if the game last more than 40 moves....

First book I read was Modern Chess Openings, by Nick de Firmian, fun and easy to read. Starts slow, but then it gets better hehe.

study lessons & puzzles, reviewing missed solutions... also analyze completed games to find improvements.

Take your time and think when you play, when you analyze, and when you study

Don't move the same piece twice in the opening until you've completed development. Unless tactics dictate otherwise. wink

So I have read most comments here, and most of them says like “You” do that or something like that. This guy is literally a 2000 player no way he a  beginner. He probably wanted to give this advice to a beginner player, not for him. I just wanted to point this.

Yep, looking for advice to give to beginners I already have my opinions but was nearing what others thought/say.
