Hello, I am Pablo and this is what you will find on my blog

Warm greetings to the entire chess community. My name is Pablo, and I've been a chess enthusiast for a wonderful 10 years. Hailing from Spain, specifically the region of Andalusia, I have thoroughly enjoyed this captivating game of strategy, and my enthusiasm for it continues to grow each day. While I am an amateur without an official title, over time, I've gathered valuable knowledge that I now wish to share with all of you.

My first encounter with a chessboard was at the age of 15. It was my father who taught me the basic rules, opening a completely new door for me. Soon, I began attending the chess club at my school and forged meaningful friendships in that world. Always self-taught, I studied and continue to do so to enhance my understanding of strategies, tactics, openings, and other key aspects of the game.

A moment that filled me with pride was when, a couple of years ago, I coached a friend for 2 hours. Later, I learned that he had increased his ranking by 200 points, so something from what I shared must have worked!

Precisely these satisfactions of transferring my knowledge motivated me to start this blog. I observe a lack of quality material, well-explained and focused on genuinely aiding improvement. Superficial advice abounds on social media and the web. That's why here, you'll find a different and, above all, useful perspective to avoid frustration or stagnation.

My main objectives are:

1. Guide chess enthusiasts of any level with quality content for their continuous growth.
2. Build a community around this game, where we can share our experiences and reach more people.
3. Demonstrate that an official title is not necessary to contribute value. Passion and love for chess drive this blog.

I will periodically post about openings, mid-game strategies, endgames, analyses of famous games, and topics suggested by you. Your comments and contributions are vital! Leave me your questions, and I will gladly address them in future posts or on a personalized basis.

You can also find me on Instagram, Discord or contact me through direct messages on Lichess. Welcome to my small but welcoming chess world! I hope you enjoy and benefit greatly from the material we'll be sharing together. A warm embrace!
