Learn Chess

It can also help you build up the ability to see from someone else’s perspective and lead to  better planning skills. A chess player who is a kid needs to work with an organized thought process to develop a good move.

First of all, chess is a game for people of all ages. You can learn to play at any age and as a result most European countries are setting up chess classes for kids in their schools. Chess can increase a kid’s intelligence, concentration levels, critical thinking, improves their memory, along with other benefits. 

Using the different factors of the position to judge who has the better chances. This causes children to slow down and look at different important things about how the pieces are set up and then evaluate their chances. There are three different phases of the game in which this can happen, the opening (getting your pieces out), the middlegame (setting up attacks, captures, and tactics), and the endgame. 

Calculation is the ability to analyze moves that are not yet happening on the chessboard. This is a crucial skill for young chess players to develop. It helps them use cause and effect to understand how their own actions will affect the game. This is typically how chess players think ahead.

Just start (don’t worry about perfection). Go for it and build a habit of Learning and  Practicing, many start and then give up, Don’t give up!

The more you practice the better you become. You should be ready to lose and learn from your mistakes. Most people will learn much more from a game they lose than a game they win. You will have to lose hundreds of games before becoming a good player as “Continuity is the Key.”

There are only a handful of people in the World that can play at the level of someone like Carlsen, Kasparov, etc. We don’t have to hold ourselves to their standards of chess but we can certainly pick up on their decision-making habits and learn how they think about a position. By analyzing their games with a coach or a chess teacher, it’s much easier to pick up on the most important moments of their games and make the most out of what there is to learn from it. In lessons with my students, I select games that follow a theme that the student needs to learn about. Throughout the lesson, we will focus on the most critical moments of a game where this theme pops up. By doing this, you get to see how the thing you need to learn pops up in games and how to make the most of it. Also it is always a joy to see the great games of chess history!

Openings- Openings are a great way to turn preparation into results. By learning an opening well, you can take all of the guesswork out of the beginning of the game. You can complete the first phase knowing that you’ve outplayed your opponent and can look to the middlegame with confidence. I teach principled openings that help my students understand how to make the most challenging moves, while also containing danger for the opponent if they make a mistake. The openings can be adjusted to suit the style of play that the student likes. This is one of the greatest advantages of having a chess teacher.

Exercises are a valuable part of the training process. In combination with lessons on important themes, exercises give students a chance to put what they have learned to the test. By constantly testing and refining your knowledge, you will gradually push past your previous knowledge levels. Having a chess teacher that can guide you with the proper exercises can help ensure you make the most out of your training time.
