Hi everybody.

I love the chess.com app. I recently played around 100+ games mostly in 5 and 10 minutes challenge and only with my basic knowledge of the rules

So without any personal work on openings, checkmate pattern, etc… just instinct. Now I have a clear idea of my limits and it’s time to work.

What are your best tips and advices? Chess.com ressources, books, clubs, programs, YouTube channel???

Let’s keep it simple, I’m not in a rush but I just set a new objective today: Elo > 1000 before the end of the year

Share your views & thanks in advance!

Hi R. Chadly!

My name is Lauren Goodkind and I’m a respected  chess coach and chess YouTuber based in California:

I have tips and resources to help you improve your chess skills!

-I  offer a  free beginner’s free eBook on my website, in case you are interested. The book is about asking questions before each move.  

-Learn basic tactics such as the fork, discovered attack, pin, and more.  I offer interactive puzzles on my website:  

-I recommend two books for you: “50 Poison Pieces”   and “Queen For A Day: The Girl’s Guide To Chess Mastery.”  Both books are available on Amazon.com.  Both books are endorsed by chess masters!  

-If you are serious about chess, I highly recommend you hiring a chess coach to help you.  

-Also consider all checks and captures on your side and also your opponent’s side. Always as, “If I move here, where is my opponent going to move?”

-Play with a slow time control, such as G/30 so you have plenty of time to think before every move. 

I hope that this helps.

There are tons of free resources without wasting your time and money on expensive training, books and software. Check out the lessons here on chess.com.  There is also an extensive collection of excellent videos on chess.com.  Puzzle rush and practice drills are also available and will help.

 

Second excellent resource would be youtube.  There are excellent trainers and GM's on youtube giving out free advice.  As a beginner I would recommend the chessbrahs 'chess habits' series. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUjxDD7HNNThftJtE0OIRFRMMFf6AV_69

 

Chessable is another great resource.  There is pay content, but I there is also tons of free courses.  https://www.chessable.com/

 

Finally, I would recommend a simple free program to 'guess the move'.  This program goes through games and allow you to guess the move and checks it against an engines choice.  I prefer this program to most books because many books (and almost all older ones) have faulty analysis and have errors that have been exposed by todays engines.

I just learned chess in January. I play 15/10 time control only, and that gives me time to look for tactics and blunders. Mine and theirs. No more than 3 games a day for me to make each of them important. Watching rating climb videos from Chess Vibes and Gotham chess, as well as educational videos from Hikaru on YouTube helped me with big picture, vision, and strategy. All that combined with as many puzzles a day as I can do for pattern recognition have helped me greatly. Being obsessed helps as well. Happy hunting!
