Trying to learn from the coach bot on chess.com
Never play bots, never listen to bot coaches. AI means Artificial Idiotic. Play against people, analyse your games, solve puzzles, study games of old masters. If you don’t understand something, make a thread on forums. Try to find local chess club near your home. Analysing your games together with your friends is priceless.
