Learning Chess

I wanna start learning chess and I wanna become really really really good…since I’m a beginner I wanna know what I have to do to become the best

The best chess players have tremendous memories. They have played so many games that they know how to play/counter any move by the other player. There are many books that explain the game and strategy, but I would think that like many poker players have learned their skills with computer games and then on-line poker, that you might polish your chess skills/abilities that way. The more you play, the better you will be!

well i usually start out by moving the pawns infront of my queen and king up two then, i move my knights infront of my rooks and move my rooks out to the middle beside my pawns. from there its easy to get to the king without running into blocks and traps…very good defense too because every piece covers another piece

I’m a twelve yr old guy who is assigned with the task of teaching a 5 yr old boy how to get better at chess. He knows the moves (which is already amazing at age five), but he has no strategy. My current rating is around 1900.

But what should I teach him? If it gets a little bit too boring he will start to think about other things. On the other hand, I want to actually be doing chess and having him learn something, as his dad is paying me 10 bucks an hour.

Thanks so much!

With a ranking of 1900 you have a lot of knowledge. Five year olds can be ranked as well so the might want to get him registered with one of the national organizations like … Continental Chess Association, National Scholastic Chess Foundation, or the United States Chess Federation (USCF). Personally, I prefer the USCF. Once he is registered he needs to play in local tournaments and then have a coach go over his good and bad moves.

Additionally, you might want to go over some of the classic games with him and reenact them together, explaining the strategies used. There are also some classic openings that everyone needs to know as well as their defenses. Many of these are available on-line or in a good book on introductory chess.

Good Luck … Hope this helps …
