Pookie_victoria: You are Struggling with Openings (Case Study #17)

Upon looking on your profile, I came to the conclusion that you do not have sufficient knowledge of chess openings.

How to improve chess for beginners

Before going to my suggestions, let’s watch one of your live chess game.

Opening Suggestion:

In above game, you played a3 on 3rd move which is a mistake, although you have the idea to develop your bishop and you want to get the tempo with b5 move, but in the opening always try to play e4 and d4 pawn because these two pawns controls the center.

Please remember that in the opening you have three tasks. One is to control the center, second is to develop your chess pieces, and third is to castle early.

You are playing different chess openings with white pieces, that’s not the way to learn chess, stick to the one setup and play enough until you know how to play and how to defend against it.

You are playing 1.e4 which is best by test as Bobby Fischer stated. So I would like to suggest you that you should learn Bishop opening with white pieces, but you also have to learn how to play against Sicilian defense.

  • If you do not have time to learn different chess openings then move to 1.d4 and learn London System.
  • with black pieces, you should defend 1.e4 with d5 move which is called Scandinavian defense, and against 1.d4 you should play Nf6 and e6, move.

Middlegame Suggestions:

You are willing to launch an attack as soon as possible, but remember that your opponent also has the same power and pieces, that’s why you have to be strategical and tactical.

In the middlegame, learn how to create weakness and how to exploit it.

Here is a guide: https://chessrewards.com/how-to-create-weakness-in-chess/.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, Learn Openings with theory, learn middlegame topics, and learn rook endgame and how to create a passed pawn. If you still have any questions, feel free to ask.
