Hello everyone, I am a chess lover. I play casual games with my friends and family members and I win very often. But I want to beat more advanced players now. So what should I do next? Should I invest my time learning good opening moves or just play games with computer at higher levels? Learning opening moves seems very tideous thing because there are so many opening theories to cover. It may take my entire life to master every opening move. Please give me your valuable suggestions.

set your games to play only players at your own rating and up to 250 points higher

after each game, analyze and annotate to the best of your ability; then, and only after, use the engine to “blunder check”- see missed tactics- or any ideas/lines you just couldnt sense

Play better/stronger players often. Analyze / review your games, with a stronger player when possible . Try to be objective about your mistakes and weaknesses. Play against chess engines increasing the level as you start winning more than half your games, where n>20 games at a given level/strength.

You could watch a bunch of youtube videos to learn cool gamibits and openings. Then use them against a computer and see what happens. If it works for you try them in real games.

Here is a cool channel to get started:

Dear Chessfriend,

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).

Why should you choose me?

- I have a widespread opening repertoire (a lot of openings are analysed by strong Grand Masters).

- I have a lot of chess books in PDF and Chessbase format, so I can teach you the main middlegame plans, the art of calculations, famous chess games and the endgame theory.

- I have elaborated, personalized training plans, which help you to improve your skills effectively.

- I help you analyse your games deeply, so you can realise your mistakes and learn from them.

- I am really flexible and hard-working person, the quality of my work is really important for me.

Please, contact me (balazsgabor1991@gmail.com), if you are interested in working with me, I am looking forward to your message. happy.png
