Ultimate guide for beginners?

Sort:
tengochan

Hello chess players I've recently got into Chess and am becoming obsessed with it so I want the ultimate begginers practice guide. I'm talking what to focus on, popular methods and patterns, good websites, the works I got Chessable because of a youtube ad and am focusing on opening fundamentals. My biggest problem is just remembering all the different openings or getting others mixed up but have noticed a lot of them have similar patterns like moving the pawn to E4 and then bringing out your knight to F3 Also throw in any big begginer mistakes or bad habits and replace it with good ones. Hope you guys get some good material and helps out everyone's games!

"I want the ultimate begginers practice guide" ++ Chess Fundamentals - Capablanca

"My biggest problem is just remembering all the different openings" ++ Do not worry about openings. You will not lose or win because of the opening, but because of tactical mistakes.
Just develop your pieces into play towards the center and castle your king to safety O-O.

Yes, openings are the wrong thing to focus on.

I would recommend to do a Youtube search on Ben Finegold lecture and filter by playlist. Start with the little kids classes. They´re funny enough to keep your attention and you will get the basic principles as well. You might need to get used to him though, he´s quite a character.

HIghly disagree with the first statment ( I reccomend low time control)

Of course, that's your opinion, and it's okay to think that.

but here's mine:

Low time controls don't give you much time to think, you mostly just play on reaction. with longer time controls you have time to think and learn and find tactics with your games being much more accurate.

That´s a very nice introduction in the board, the game and for beginners. Gratulation! The only thing I´ve to mention is, that you should maybe go a bit more over the orthography in your article wink.png

Hi! I don't think there is an "ultimate guide" but perhaps a beginner's book like Capablanca's "Chess Fundamentals" is a good start.

Self study is important for developing your chess skills, but I suggest you to interact with stronger players, teachers and/or coaches for gettng a better grasp of the game.

Instead of a general guide-that normally doesn't fit everybody's needs. it is advisable to have a customized training program -which is something different. 

Good luck!

I'm a Chess.com coach, please check my profile and should you be interested in a training program or lessons, please send me a message.

I find chess like a fish, you get some elo then you suck ass and lose all of your elo
JaceTheAceBC
If you don’t understand about that last thing it means you lose the fish and never see it again

This has nothing to do with learning but I wanted to make you feel like your not alone
