how to improve at chess


Try to develop all your pieces and castle before moving your Queen.
For your King's safety, don't move pawns in front of your King.
Always protect your pieces with another piece. Try not to leave pieces hanging or unprotected.
Attack your opponent with double attacks, forks, pins, and checks.
Watch out for quick checkmates like the Scholar's Mate or 4-Move-Checkmate.
Anticipate your opponent's next move and defend against their attacks.
Play puzzles and check analysis after each game to learn from your mistakes.

Grind the games... do your puzzles and identify tactics...
