It is our guarantee that if you go through all the exercises at least 3 times you will improve your game significantly. If you really want to become a good chess player you must always play with other human players it does not matter if you lose, the more you lose the better you get, none of us learnt it by heart, it took time and years of practice, thus give it some time and you will get better. We also advice the beginners to analyze their game and see why they couldn’t win a certain game. From our experience we have found out that most Beginners problem lie in the opening where they always make mistake. You must choose an opening and stick to it for at least 50 games to get an idea of different variations. It is also recommended to start with basic/easy opening variations such as Ruy Lopez instead of Gambits or Sicilian or other advance openings which require a good positional understanding of game, it is useless to make moves when you have no idea why you made that move and what significance that move has on the game.
Start with the easy ones build on it and then move to the harder ones.
If you are ready to dive into the exercises then please check the categories on the right hand side and start with the beginner section. We recommend you start with tactics before you do anything else.
We have articles on Chess as well, which you should read if you want to further enhance your learning experience and speed up the process.
