As a new chesser... HOW DO YOU DO IT?!


Hello!
Welcome to the game of chess! I offer resources for beginners to get better in chess.
- Here are some other general tips to help you: Before each move, I highly encourage you ask questions before every move such as, “If I move here, is it safe?”, “Can I safely capture a piece?”, and more. Also consider all checks and captures on your side and also your opponent’s side. Be VERY CONSISTENT with this. Your job is to NEVER make any silly mistakes in any game! If you continue to make silly mistakes, you will have a very hard time getting your rating up.
2) I offer a Twitch channel for beginners so they can get better in chess. Send me a game and I’ll analyze your games for free on my Twitch livestream. I livestream every Monday at 9:30pm PST, Wednesday at 9:30pm PST and Friday at 2pm PST.

I also offer a free beginner’s free eBook on my website, in case you are interested.
3) Beginners needs to learn basic tactics such as the fork, discovered attack, pin, and more. I offer interactive puzzles on my website:

If you are serious about chess, I highly recommend you hiring a chess coach to help you.
I hope that this helps!
