Don't memorize. Understand!
Don't ever play a move you don't understand and cannot explain to another person.
After each game chech your play with your book. Where book move is different from your move try to understand why book move may be better than your own. If you cannot understand it (it may not be better) then continue to play your own move.
Hello guys hope you all be alright,
I am a newbie and recently started playing chess and also learning it, Currently iam Reading the Modern Chess Openings E15. I have begun reading the Ruy Lopez: Classical (Cordel) Defense(becuase this is my favorite opening) and read all lines of it (it was about 25 games), I memorized all games with player name,tournoment name and the year even , but it took me a month .
I was wondering wheter iam doing right or no??
