![]() ![]() I can almost promise that you won’t be afraid of chess anymore! What You Need to Know to Play Chess I’m going to break down the chess player learning curve in this post. It requires a lot of time investment and dedication. However, reaching chess mastery is extremely hard. You only need to know the basic rules, how the pieces move, how to checkmate, and a few special rules. There is some truth in their thought process but, for the most part, their idea of chess is faulty.Ĭhess is a relatively easy game to learn and play. ![]() So "play as instruction" has certainly applied to me.I have met a lot of people that are reluctant to play chess (seriously?) because of the complexity of the game. That's something I wouldn't have done without having the experience of needing something I couldn't come up with while playing the game. In some cases, during a game I struggled to find an idea, and failing to do so, was inspired to look for the theory and examples afterwards, using some games from a database. Playing reinforces newly-learned material, and highlights when it hasn't been properly assimilated.Īnd incidentally, I've learned plenty of new ideas and maneuvers over the board it'd be amazing if you never saw any in your games, and surprising if you didn't notice at least some of them. Your mistakes are the evidence of areas you need to improve. It's just that, in their experience, you can't improve very well solely from instruction. You'll notice that they're not saying that you should play games and try to take notes afterwards on the good new stuff you found in them. It reinforces the concepts already learned in the instruction It is the primary diagnostic tool for figuring out what the player is doing wrong or doesn't know, and There's a Third Way (and probably a Fourth.) of considering the question, though.Īlmost every coach with whom I've talked, or whose publications I've read, advocates using play to improve because: The aforementioned research states that this is true for a different segment of students, the ones who prefer that style of learning. But that's not true for all students.Īnother group seems to think that training (presumably regimented instruction) is the way to improve, and that playing undermines that. There's certainly pedagogical research that says a sizeable portion of students learn much better by doing than by observing/listening/reading/viewing. One group of people seem to think that the experience of playing can actually teach you new ideas, and that's how you can best improve. Well, it seems there's a bit of a controversy going on here. Playing with opponents alone will not improve your game because online games are just application of your skills not development. But my guess is Correspondence game is relative to your memory power.īut remember that you also need to concentrate on the skills by reading books, solving puzzles etc. Almost 20-30% of the time either me or my opponent will lose because of this, even though having an advantageous position. Yes, Correspondence games will tend you to lose track of your positions, tempo, tactics etc since it may take 1 or more than 1 day to make a move. I like correspondence but sometimes I forget (over night) a bit theįeeling of the game, lose the ideas or other stuff. Think at least 3-4 moves ahead of the next move(visualizing). You are also open to various variations for a move, thus allowing to Thus avoiding big blunders, this happens almost for everyone who When you engage yourself in a 1 hour time control chess game, youĪre not under any pressure to make moves without calculation and This is because of my previous answer here: Do longer games better your chances of honing chess skills?. Since you have said you are a beginner and never played in a tournament before, I would suggest you to have 1 hour or 45mins + 45sec increment time control. This question will receive more opinionated answers regarding the time control, I will answer in perspective of an advanced beginner Chess player.
