Many of your questions are answered in my thread here:
Don't trust "accuracy" and "tips" - Forums d’échecs - Chess.com
Ah great, thanks Tonya. I am still finding my way around in here. Chess.com maze is sometimes more challenging than chess itself.
Hi all,
My first topic post. I have been playing chess for about 2 months, mainly as my daughter (6) wanted to play/learn it. I have got quite hooked and I have got to a point where I am not able to understand why a move is good or better or bad (unless it is a blunder) in my games when analysing with the analyser. Similarly, I do puzzles and sometimes sit confused when looking at the analysis as to why you would ever play that move in the first place.
This is also limiting my ability to help my daughter when she asks the dreaded kid question, "why"?
Here are a couple of games (one black, one white), from when I am actually paying attention to what I am doing. Could anyone help me deconstruct an example from either game to an understandable analysis? Many thanks!
