How to study in chess.
Start with openings. they guide your plan into the midgame and it tells you what to do. If you like playing for long-term things and aggressive things I recommend the Colle-Zukertort(it is a d4 opening) and if you want an e4 one the Italian game works best. For black you have to find openings against e4 and d4 and for the rest of white’s opening just use opening principles and the same goes for if you are white. In the midgame, focus on these and they are in no order, but please remember to study them all.
1. Stop blundering: do daily puzzles and trade off threats.
2. Positional play: control space, weak squares, and place pieces on active squares.
3. Attacking: use pawn storms, bring pieces in, and sacrifice when needed.
4. Defense: trade attackers, counterattack, and protect your king with a solid pawn structure. Endgames are also important and there are 2 types of endgames. Theoretical and practical. Practical endgames are ones that don’t have a clear path(in perfect play). Theoretical endgames are ones that have a clear path(in perfect play). Online is the best source and remember to check the free stuff.

Daniel Naroditsky, Hanging pawns, ChessCoach Andras, remote chess academy, the chessnetwork, chess dojo (in no particular order) are some of the best chess youtubers to learn from and increase your strength. Then there's also channels like chessvibes and agadmator that are more entertainment but also decent for learning/immersing yourself in the world of chess. There's also Arturs Neiksans who has probably the best resources for learning openings with his opening bootcamp streams/uploads. He covers a variety of openings and to a respectable depth and does an excellent job at helping you learn the main ideas and plans.
Hey guys,
I'm trying to increase my elo and openings. Would you please suggest some good YouTubers besides Gotham, etc.?
Thx.
