Best website to learn chess?

So I want a website that really helps me improve in chess. I don’t mind if it was a site that needs money, what I need only the best site to improve in chess. I was going to buy diamond membership in chess.com, but I thought that it might not improve me a lot. This is my first day in chess.com after a while, so my rating isn’t correct. I would say I am 1400 rate or above. I know websites like chessable but I want to hear your opinions happy.png… Oh and also I want a website, not an application that should be downloaded. I would be happy if you can answer me!

With so much material and tools to learn chess now widely available, it’s far less important what tools you use and more important the frequency and focused use of them that matters. Find a weak area of your chess and focus on improving that area, then find a new weak area of your chess and repeat. Over time you will improve.

Thanks for the advice, I already used it to reach around 1700 in rapid, but you see, learning from lessons makes your think deeper of what is the best move and it summarize tactics . But thanks! happy.png

I suggest puzzles training and reading Chess Fundamentals by Capablanca to improve in chess.

What you might find beneficial is a coach then if you want lesson type formats. ChessAble as you mentioned would probably be the cheaper substitute, a good chess book coming in distant third. I view it as find a weakness of yours then figure out how to fix it, whatever the material or tool. For example ChessAble can be great for opening training, but if you are finding difficulty with more nuanced issue like possibly transitioning from phases of game properly then a coach would likely be the best way to correct that. Broad use sites offer a lot but may be inappropriate for tailored, focused needs. That’s why I say above, find a weakness you want to fix, then determine the best approach to fix it.

I see that you are near 1900 in rapid, did you only learned from your mistakes to get there?

Wow you won 8 wins at a row….

I’ve played chess on and off with varying intensity and dedication since I was seven and I’m thirty six now. Had I been more focused and keen on weeding out my mistakes, possibly got a proper coaching, I’d maybe have been better at reducing my bad habits and ideas and be able to play a more consistent and proper chess game than I do now. As is, I view chess as a fun and interesting game, and simply enjoy the game for what it is to me and try to pass along the little bits of chess knowledge and experiences I’ve had to others and hope to encourage others in their chess adventures and goals. But in the past when I’ve trained, I took the chain link method of development- you’re only as reliably good as the weakest link in your chain so always work on identifying and improving your weakest link.

Wow, but it is sad that when you were seven there was I think no chess sites to play with online people. But it is quite nice to see someone who looks to chess as a “fun game” not like someone who think he should just win. Oh and just to be fair since you told me your age I will tell you mine too. I am 14.

Well you’re slightly older than my eldest son and probably more skilled than him at chess so continue the training and look forward to your progress. If able, you should join a local club and participate in over the board chess tournaments- a lot of fun and very good way to improve your skills, especially if you analyze the games afterwards to locate missed possibilities and areas you might need to work on.
