| Watching all the videos in the world won't help you if you don't put the work into it. This means playing in plenty of serious games, reading books about different phases and ideas of the game, playing through master level games, tactics training, and learning from your mistakes. You are bound to lose many games as you improve. Ideas in chess take time to digest and understand, so don't give up! Before long, you will reap the benefits of your hard work. Around this point, you will need to study opening lines for long periods of time and learning the ideas behind them. Also, you may want to start working with a computer program, such as Fritz, to help lessen blunders in your play. You can get Fritz from our downloads page if you desire. |
