Just got beaten the 4th time in a row. This time in just 13 total moves despite my slow 'calculated' moves. I've been playing for over a month now on a Chess game software

Where can I learn and master chess. Which worked for you


edit: Thanks for the replies. I'm surprised to know that one cannot truly master it. Oh well, I might as well keep playing and having fun

Adios

Read the beginner tips lists.

Basically, they are guidelines on how to not give away games.

eg.

Knights are weak on the board-edges.

Control the centre.

When in doubt, advance a pawn.

--

Use SCID and Stockfish to identify key moves in games that shift the balance. It may be a strong-move, or a blunder, but they are pivotal to the outcome.

--

Practise lichess.org puzzles. Forks and pinning the king.

Also lichess.org/learn

--

As a beginning player, dump your bishops early. If you can trade your bishops for their knights, do it.

--

Don't listen to random advice online : )

I'm a comparatively average chess player. Go to a chess club and get advice from someone skilled who can see exactly what level you are at.
