I have fallen in love with chess when I first learnt it, and I mainly self-taught myself through reading books, playing on chess.com and reached my level today. I can never get bored of the mystery of chess. However when I decide to teach my friends in High School chess, they can never focus and improve no matter how I tried to do itsad.png. Do anyone have any suggestions how they are taught when they were first introduced to chess? How they improved above 1000 or 1200 rated? Much help would be greatly appreciated.happy.png

I got first interested in chess by playing through its tactics. it's like doing magic with my hand. I was always interested in magic.i am not here talking about black magic. because of tactics I entered chess world and I still haven't figured out how to apply strategy. my positional understanding of chess is pathetic by looking at my rating. my tactics rating too seems to come to a halt. It's chess.com forum which is only motivation for showing off my chess skill.

Solving tactics & openings. I think learning a new opening(4-move checkmate wink.png  )and trying it out on opponents can be a great motivator when one is a beginner.
