Just started playing chess

And I suck.

Just started playing like a month ago on chess.com

My elo is like 450ish. I feel like this game is hard af.

I basically know:

1. Control the middle
2. Try not to blunder any pieces



I can barely do either.





Also, benched 225 last night.
There is no they…

Got into it a few years back after finding the secret chess game on messenger (it's gone now).

So I thought, "Hey, let's go play online with randoms!", and just like playing Street Fighter online for the first time, I got my ass dragged through feces.

Started doing tactics, learning about controlling the center, importance of developing pieces early, etc.. Currently a decent player, but have no delusions of being anywhere close to 2000 in this lifetime.
I'm back, bitches!

Don't pay any attention to your elo. It will never be enough.

Why would you play a game where computers completely dominate? Speaking of, how many people cheat do you think?

Develop knights/bishops first towards center rooks and queen are better in the endgame

Castle asap

Don’t leave pieces undefended

Each turn go through each piece and see where it can move, same with your opponents pieces

Learn basic checkmate techniques king/queen king/2 rook king/1 rook

Point system
Pawn 1
Knight/bishop 3
Rook 5
Queen 9/10

Trade evenly and when you are up material trade all pieces evenly and check mate

Practice tactics most common are forks/pins/discovered attack

Play long time control games not blitz


*gayle1 on chess(.)com if anyone wants to add
See you tomorrow
