Chess

[ANDREW GREEN]

I couldn't find a thread, so thought I'd make one.

Chess.com computer analysis gave me my first 'brilliant move' in about 2000 games (although I probably only analyse a third of them). It's meant to be a move that's the best move and very hard to find by most chess players. The thing is it seemed like a really easy to find move. My opponent hung a rook. It must mean technically the majority of people miss that move in that position.

Any tips? I've known how to play for years, but, I am rubbish.

The following is a good introduction to chess. Sorry about the late reply

Chess is on a massive boom right now, can highly recommend GothamChess as his videos are incredibly instructive (well have been for me, started playing around 2 months ago for the first time).

I started trying to learn chess last week and it's pretty difficult. I took out a week trial on chess.com which I'm finding the lessons and puzzles pretty good. I think I'll renew on the cheapest option though as still haven't looked at any of the videos and you still get enough lessonsto practic throughout the week.

AlsoI watch some Twitch streamers called BotezLive, I find them helpful

I like chess in person but struggled to get into it online.

Many years ago I enjoyed playing people on Yahoo chess. But I was using a program on hardest settings to make my moves for me.

That was fun!

Reviving the thread to see if anyone wants to have a game of chess on chess.com
I've started getting back into chess but find it tricky to find players who don't just timeout after 5 moves.

I also like Gotham Chess and Ana Cramling, but in small doses - they're far too enthusiastic at times.

Hi Adam,
The overclockers forum won't let me send you a DM.
Do you have a chess.com username? Let me know and I'll send you an game request
