Here's How To Improve At Chess
Sort:
Whether you're a 500 or 2000-rated chess player, we all want to improve. A lot of people ask something along the lines of, "how do I get better at chess?". Well, it's quite simple, and I will be discussing the art of improving in this forum. First off, you should build an opening repertoire. It does not have to be fully built, just add what suits you and openings that you would like to play in your games. You can do this with chess tempo, which is a website and app designed for improving your chess. Next, I recommend analyzing your chess games and observing your weaknesses, then assigning tasks to address them. Pay close attention to the inaccuracies, mistakes, and even blunders that you possibly made. I recommend analyzing the games that you lost, but analyzing the games you win is fine as well. The main point is figuring out WHY you lost and assigning tasks to yourself to get rid of those bad habits. Another method to improve at chess is through Endgame study. I cannot describe how important Endgame study is because most chess games do end in the Endgame phase. You can study Endgames with a book, video, course, or even website. There are plenty of resources available. Now, I would like to address another method of improvement. And that is study/training plans. These can guide and change your chess in such a positive way, and I would recommend checking chess.com's study plan directory here: https://www.chess.com/article/view/study-plan-directory
Check this out, it is separated by rating so make sure you choose the one for you. It is nice if you have a paid membership so you get unlimited videos. That is all for this discussion, and I would like to conclude that there are other methods of improving such as analyzing master games, training tactics, etc., but I just wanted to give an overview to guide you to the right path. The study plan given is what I recommend, as it goes through everything you need to improve. Enjoy!
