I need to play IRL. I lost in a regional got like 7th and never really played again

i know how to play chess but i really want to learn how to play. whats a good starting point for fundamentals and strats

Around what rating would you guys be on chess.com I usually hover between 1800-1900. But there are a lot of cheaters these days. I get points back regularly when the anti cheat catches these motherfuckers

i recommend watching daniel naroditsky on youtube

he will show u all the good beginner openings he is very good at explaining things i relied on him heavy when getting back into the game

rn i would be about 1012 but ive been on lichess for the past 6 months basically i neglected chess.com in october

no just play on chess.com or lichess get ur s*** together then play over the board in real life when u got the swing of things again tbh

will benefit you because online you can play dozens of games within an hour period in the comfort of your home then transfer your knowledge to irl

i kinda ate s*** today on lichess fr its been a stressful day at work tho lemme see whatsup when my weekend starts

Bless you gonna peep after this lakers game

plateaued 1100 -1200 cbf learning any theory to grow further

I started my chess journey whilst living with my brother for a short while. I used to be around 700-900 rating and he used to clap me every game. I didn’t know anything about strategy and what not, but with little knowledge about how to develop your pieces and not trading your pieces when your opponent for example has a weak bishop because he can’t move along diagonal because of the pawn chain goes a long way. Find an opening line you like and learn different variations of it. Like I used to play “Sicilian dragon” just because of the name, but I’m more of a Caro Kahn kinda guy today

im stuck between 1250-1350

so bloody s*** at this game
