115-120 is good tho

 

[Scandinavianincel]

extremely many people teaching chess online, and you have chess.com or lichess puzzles. watch back and analyze games you have won or lost

 

[xzylecrey]

Repetition, analyzing games, theory, puzzles. I peaked around 1800 but stopped playing

Motivated me to start learning again

 

[nobodylovesme]

Do a few puzzles a day, play the same opening, and try to understand what your move does (threats, weaknesses, how your opponent is going to respond, etc)

Also try to think what your opponent is trying to achieve with their own move, etc. But yeah, just try to stay cognizant and not autopilot

Never fucking mind the most retarded iPhone feature deleted the app from itself because I didn’t use it enough lately

study basic openings online , learn basic tricks and traps and refutations puzzlemaxxing, for example fried liver attack and the traxler response , , four knights , gucci pannissimo and the ruy lopez , you will basically reach a thousand elo , after you master every basic thing you need to start watching advanced players analyze the logic behind their games , positional or attacking , understanding the square control etc , best channel is daniel naroditsky for this , also never play on your phone its so easy to blunder

watch gothamchess, he is fun and gives solid advices, i pushed myself to 1250 and now im hardstuck

play rapid, classic is bs and takes a lot of time, 10mins, 15/10 is good aswell

start learning basic theory and combinations (discovered check, en passent, double check...)

So basically just learn like the most popular openings do puzzles and some traps like fried liver (ive heard of it) until i have 1000 elo and then go giga advanced?

By classic i meant 10 min i think i got the name wrong

 

[personalitymaxxer06]

Do puzzles, learn openings and tactics and then focus on practicing opening mid game and end game, and just play regularly

Just spam play and you’ll learn patterns and get better inevitably

Wont that be suboptimal tho

 

[Earth776]

Study Artur Yusupov’s books, play classical only, and do some puzzles

 

[5OuttaTen]

I hear Duolingo has chess lessons now, idk if they’re good tho

@ConfusedBolivian

So basically a lot of the learning comes from reviewing your games to see what you could’ve done better. Also studying and listening to pros talk chess especially the videos where they play against the elo you’re currently in. They explain how the people in your elo think so you can outsmart them.

 

[fazehamster]

Yes for short term progression but in the end you’ll learn time management skills and lots of other ones that will all help in the future
