Hello Chess.com users!

My name is Zeyofa and I am new on this site. I started to play chess at 4 years old, but I never really practised regularly and learned good techniques.. So now I am 14 and I'm searching for a good software and/or playlist of videos that would help me improve my chess strategies. 

Just to say, I am beginner, so I would not start with some complicated and advanced tactics. Just basic stuff to be an intermediate chess player.

 

Thank you! -Zeyofa

PS: I am french canadian, so if I misspell words or anything else, please excuse me :P

Hi,

Good luck start very slowly with the endgame and the elements everything else in Chess has to be studied in close relation to it many people go in the other direction and study openings first (worse just memorize them) which is a mistake.

You have to see the entire board as a unified harmonious whole everything fits together nothing is separate!

I bought chessmaster a few years ago, it has a good learning section. I don't know about now, maybe there are better.

Thanks baddogno, alec98 and chessph.

 

Baddogno, I'll see those channels..

Alec98, thanks for your tips but I was searching for something like a software or videos with openings and tactics fir beginners..

Chessph, I've heard about Chessmaster but some are telling that it isn't as good as it looks like. And for Chess.com, I think there's the Mentor but it's only for the premiums..

 

Anyways, thanks for your answers! :)

If your looking for software on your PC Chess King's Combo is good it has 3 Tactics DVDS with levels 1 2 3 or could always use this site which has an ocean of training material plus the advantage of having teachers to help you out when you run into problems or have questions.

Good luck.
