Hi! My name is Lauren Goodkind and I’m a respected  chess coach and chess YouTuber who helps beginners out :

Everybody goes at their own unique pace in chess.  For me, I went from USCF 600 to about 1500 in about two years.  Some players can get to about 2000 in one year.  It depends on how serious you are about improving.  Do not compare yourself with others.  Focus on yourself.  

In the mean time, here’s more  ideas to help you get better.  

Send me one of your games and I'll be happy to analyze the game for free on my YouTube channel.  

-I recommend two books for you: “50 Poison Pieces”   and “Queen For A Day: The Girl’s Guide To Chess Mastery.”  Both books are available on Amazon.com.  Both books are endorsed by chess masters!  

-If you are serious about chess, I highly recommend you hiring a chess coach to help you.  

-Also consider all checks and captures on your side and also your opponent’s side. Always as, “If I move here, where is my opponent going to move?”. Do this for every single move!  

-Play with a slow time control, such as G/30 so you have plenty of time to think before every move. 

-Feel free to ask my question on my live chess livestream Youtube channel, every Sunday from 1-2pm PST.
