Beginner need help

Dear chess folks,

I am new to chess and certainly need a lot of help to improve. Can anyone guide me the way forward? It will be a good for me and an opportunity for you too as someone said teaching is the best way to learn.

Chess is both a broad and deep subject. If you have a more specific question, I and others would be happy to try and answer, but for now try to use the resources available on the internet.

Check out the sites in my bio, they may help

@v4vaibhavjainhcu I see that you have already found the lichess.org practice area under the LEARN tab. Well done!!! Do every single one of those chapters - even the ones you think you already know and understand, and then do them again 3 times. From beginning to end. I'm not kidding, and you should do this before you play one more game of chess. It's fun and you will be a better player very quickly.

I did it and I think it really was worth the time.

There are a lot of good resources under 'learn' on this site. [top left corner of screen].
The St Louis Chess Club videos on YouTube are also good.
At this stage your job is to learn about:
1. protected pieces
2. the centre of the board and how it matters
3. and to play as many games as you can and it doesn't matter if you lose them.

You should probably avoid bullet or blitz and play games with a longer time control like 20 20.
Have fun with chess!

I have the following tips for you
Use all the time allowed by the time control
Activate move confirmation in your profile: think about your move, play it, check it is no blunder, confirm it.
Train tactics: do as much tactics puzzles as you can.
Whenever you lose a game, analyse it so as to learn from your mistakes.
In the next game you could have won a piece with d5, as Bb5 pins Nc6
This was a 15+10 time control, but you end the game with 14 useless minutes on your clock. Slow down. Take time to think.

@tpr if this question were a tomato, it is now squashed after that succinct, accurate path forward. There is nothing left to say.

OHHHH! A nice smothered mate captcha !!!!! Awesome.

simple. watch videos like this one by yasser seirawan, former us champion. he explains clearly and simply. does that mean he is not as smart as the guys who baffle you with rapid d4 Nf6 etc? or who barely say a word, and simply move pieces faster than you can see, and you're baffled? no, it does not.

I will give you 3 tips: 1. Play longer games (>10min)
2. Always look for checks nd captures(and your opponents checks & captures)
3.Watch John bartholomews videos for chess beginers. (for example: climbing the rating ladder under 1000 elo)

learn basics of openings
you cant enter a good middlegame if you blunder in first 15 moves.
And play a lot of classical chess.
If you have any person near bye to you that plays chess better then you then ask them to play with you. Analyse the games you play together.
After some time you will notice you blunder less. that is when you become intermediate. (im at that level now). trust me thats the way i got better and i started playing chess only six months ago. If you have a library near by then go take some books about chess. If you have somebody with who you can play chess i would not play chess online for the first couple of months. When you get better play chess more.(at one moment i was playing about 100 games a week but that was on chess.com).Chess isnt a easy game. you cant get good at it in one week.
