Dear Thomasthebest43,

I am a certified, full-time chess coach, so I hope I can help you.  Everybody is different, so that's why there isn't only one general way to learn. First of all, you have to discover your biggest weaknesses in the game and start working on them. The most effective way for that is analysing your own games. Of course, if you are a beginner, you can't do it efficiently because you don't know too much about the game yet. There is a built-in engine on chess.com which can show you if a move is good or bad but the only problem that it can't explain you the plans, ideas behind the moves, so you won't know why is it so good or bad.

You can learn from books or Youtube channels as well, and maybe you can find a lot of useful information there but these sources are mostly general things and not personalized at all. That's why you need a good coach sooner or later if you really want to be better at chess. A good coach can help you with identifying your biggest weaknesses and explain everything, so you can leave your mistakes behind you. Of course, you won't apply everything immediately, this is a learning process (like learning languages), but if you are persistent and enthusiastic, you will achieve your goals. 

In my opinion, chess has 4 main territories (openings, strategies, tactics/combinations and endgames). If you want to improve efficiently, you should improve all of these skills almost at the same time. That's what my training program is based on. My students really like it because the lessons are not boring (because we talk about more than one areas within one lesson) and they feel the improvement on the longer run. Of course, there are always ups and downs but this is completely normal in everyone's career. 

I hope this is helpful for you.  Good luck for your chess games! 

Hi,

What are your rates? I might be interested.

Lol. This says somebody who played exactly three bullet games since May 2021! Looks like a troll account to me with the purpose to insult other players.

I'm an elitist because I'm good at a BoArD GaMe.

he has 1000 games tho

Google chessable. Make an account. Tons of free or paid resources. Obviously if you buy courses its more in depth. Im on there everyday. I bought 4 courses an now have years of material to study.

Here are some tips for you:

Good luck.

Hello again!

Tell me, how is life?

I see you've blocked me yet again. It's a shame

Ha, don't listen to this guy. Just the same troll over and over with me accounts.

Now I know you're going to try to impress me with some BS about how you make millions of dollars a year, have the best looking women, etc, but none of that is true. You're just a ugly dork with a nose that's probably bigger than your little wank 

Aha! You gave it away that you don't have what you want in life. You're kinda scared that he's more successful than you (which he probably is) and go on insulting them.

Nice tactic. Too bad it got refuted more than the duras gambit.

Aha, trying to bring this back to chess, eh?

Tis a shame you aren't making much money off of chess. I hope your life gets better.

Wow, and you can't think of solid responses... As usual. "Hmmm... What should I do, maybe just insult." Come on. You're more boring than the exchange French.

*sigh* Jason, why don't you run back to your @princess_lilly account? 

-_-

Read this again. Perhaps 2, 3, idk maybe even 1000 times. You seem to have deliberately misunderstood my point, based on, again, your insults.

It's like someone saying, "Hey, stop eating apples. It's weird."

Then they keep on eating apples, acknowledging their statement, but then they turn the conversation to oranges.

It's a strange analogy I admit, but maybe you can bring together your remaining brain cells together instead of going on a mindless insult rage again, ok?

Ah, you know.

Being redundantly redundant in the most annoying way with your insults. Idk, it just sounded like a cool thing to write.
