How to get Better at Chess Tactics
Sort:
You only need two openings for black and one for white, idk why you need to study the queens gambit, kings gambit, Sicilian defense, Vienna gambit, and London system
hrarray: you might only play one opening as white, but you need to know black's possible variations. and as black, you don't know what white will play, so it's best to at least know some common openings or at least a strategy for dealing with unfamiliar openings, so you do actually need to know a lot of the openings mentioned.
List of things to get better at chess tactics:
Beginner Level (0-800)
1. Do as much puzzles as you can
2. Challenge yourself by trying to get more than 15 correct answers on a blitz puzzle rush
3. Study a lot of traps and tips. (I didn't do this myself)
Intermediate Level (800-1200)
1. Study more openings (You can find them on Chessly!) (Especially study the Queen's Gambit, King's Gambit, Sicilian Defense, Vienna Gambit, and the London System!)
2. Try to game review as much of your lost games as possible. (Don't do the games when you were low rated because now you would probably just review it yourself and it will waste your game review if you don't have premium)
Excellent (1200-1500)
1. Study pawn endgames
2. Watch lessons
Advanced (1500-2000)
1. Play as much rapid games as possible (You can still play blitz and bullet games for fun).
Superior (2000- 3000)
Study GM player games!!!!
God (3000-∞)
1. No Information you're too good.
