Chess Openings

Learn proper opening moves by replaying hundreds of games in which a particular opening is used. Specialize in some opening systems as you can't possibly learn them all.

You will be able to know them, but to become really good, you should become an expert in a few opening systems which you can study very well.

Your superior knowledge will give you a slight advantage in a game when you know the opening better than your opponent.

This often makes the difference between winning and losing as the opponent drifts slowly, but surely, into a bad position.

When you play a game you should understand the plan and the ideas that are hidden in the position. There are many general concepts and plans to be learned which can be applied in your games later on. Study standard plans and positional ideas to be able to use them.

When you play without a plan you are going to lose. Your pieces are going aimlessly here and there and are not working together harmoniously like a family to achieve a common goal. Often the pawn structure can show you where you should play, at the kingside or at the queenside.

However, there are many chess strategies you should learn to become a good player. And it takes time too. So be patient. You don't become a master overnight. Read more...

Chess Tactics

Tactics is most vital. If you can't see a combination how are you going to win? You are just like a blind duck running around in circles.

To win material helps to win a game as having more material is often decisive. Learn to spot surprising tactical moves that win a pawn or a piece.

After you won material trade off as many pieces as possible to simplify the position and go into the endgame. It is much easier to win the endgame when you have more material.

Before you learn to play the game in a more positional way, you should try to develop your tactical abilities. Learn to see combinations first.

Beginner

Go to Beginner I and Beginner II.

Work through all the chess strategies that are presented in those sections. When you reach the end of Beginner II go to Strategy I,II,III and Tactics. After that read about excellent Chess Books or get Chess Books here related to your playing strength.

You might become a master if you have natural talents. Study here to find out.

Always analyze your positions where you went wrong. Play a lot of games. That's the way to learn. You can't learn this game only by reading books or doing chess puzzles. It is important to be able to find good ordinary routine moves and to apply chess strategies in real games.

Your Training

I got various online chess programs on my site of different strength.(see below) They don't have grandmaster strength at all.

These online programs are much weaker than the PC chess programs you can buy, for example Fritz, Shredder or Rybka. They can beat super grandmasters.

If you want a good PC program that has a lot of features get Fritz, Shredder or Rybka. They are used by grandmasters worldwide. These PC programs all have similar strength.

Best for you is to join a chess club. This would accelerate your learning speed tremendously. And read chess books, this is vitally important.

First play, beat and laugh about the bad playing Robo Chess, which plays the worst chess I have ever seen. After that play the programs below. Play the weakest program first and move down to the strongest, which is Play Chess I, the last program listed.
