Do we need another wheel design?
My first blog: Understanding everything in chess

"Another" wheel design?
Every beginner I have met has either never had a "wheel", or has had a very bad one that falls apart easily/contradicts many other established chess ideas and is inapplicable to too many positions to be practical.
That's the thing - if there were some well-known, universal wheel in chess, I wouldn't ever post something like this.
No - you asked a meaningless, vague question.
That's ok - it doesn't matter if one 800 player doesn't care about my opinion.

I could have blocked him, but responding periodically (without escalation) helps me keep this "advertisement" at the top. It's fine - there are many worse.

I don't have time now, maybe later, but wanted to comment that the title made me chuckle... your first blog and you already explain everything? You should pace yourself, just explain a little at a time, keep people coming back for more

Haha I was definitely tryharding a lot...
and by everything, I mean that although many players will not be able to understand/calculate a lot of details/variations behind ideas and moves, they'll understand the generalities and see that chess has a surprising amount of "structure" to it, and is not just a collection of coincidences.

Nice blue bird. Here's another.
Your article should be useful for helping players achieve the transition from beginner to intermediate level... although you left out one of my favorite maxims:
Knights should move forward, but Bishops can be used sideways.
Or to put it another way:
You can hear a Knight coming, but not a Bishop.

Thanks - it definitely helped me get there.
The main advantage of my system is that it's so simple - a lot of beginners are bombarded with information these days. And a lot of that info is useful, but they tend to forget the big picture, which causes confusion and poor moves. It should be the other way around, of course.
Will, you are one of the reasons why the chess.com forums suck now. Go away.

I updated the blog! It's gotten a bit more comprehensive, and I added some practical material to it.

I wrote my first blog, and was wondering if more people could look at it? Right now it only has about 100 views.

I am pretty sure my ideas are good and consistent, because I can't challenge them.
What's the point when Stockfish exists.
