7:49 don't study to much .chess is a game to escape from boring real world

Well done, I’m on the same journey and have almost 1700 elo within 4 months

what did application did you use?

Damn my chess coach is a Gm and is only 35 an hour and went to school for teaching chess

I went from 280 to 520 in 5 days, then my performance drastically decreased lol

I lose like 50 elo in a day and gain like 60 elo its just a matter of your confidence and your ability to execute the game

Iam at rank 153 now.. , problem is that i cant fingure out if i can checkmate or not

I have almost 1200 games of blitz, zero rapid 😂 900 ELO. 2000 puzzles. 🧩 I will play my first rapid today as 400 😂

I first learned the rules of chess in 1972, played a handful of games, but then no one around me ever wanted to play, so I forgot about chess. If you noticed I said "1972." That was the year that the amazing (American) Bobby Fischer won the world championship, and that was a *HUGE* deal. Even people that had previously not cared about chess, begin playing. Chess club memberships exploded, and Bobby Fischer was instantly the idol of many young (especially) boys, including me. It was in the days of the 'Cold War,' and the Russians/Soviets had dominated chess for about a quarter of a century, so an American taking the title was like the worst slap-in-the-face the Ruskies could have received. The Russians had dismissed Fischer as a serious contender, and Fischer said that really irritated him. After Bobby Fischer won the world championship he didn't play an 'official' game of chess for 20 years. 😆 (Also, I'd recommend finding 'The Tonight Show' interview (Johnny Carson) with Bobby Fischer. Fischer's appearance was recorded in Nov. 1972, not long after he won the world title, and just before he basically went into hiding and eventually began his downward spiral. If you have a love for chess, it's an interview you'd wanna see of one of the best to ever play the game. Actually, it's good on historical and (then) current events value, too.) Now I'm 64, retired, and ran across a chess video a couple of weeks ago, and now I have a renewed interest, and even a sudden love/obsession for the game. I did (somehow) remember (almost) all the moves/rules, but I had never learned _'en passant,'_ and my memory was a little foggy on 'castling.' I downloaded probably 8-10 chess apps and begin playing against the computer, and I *SUCKED.* Even on the easiest settings on different apps I won *ONE* game out of my first, probably, 15 games. 😆 Finally, I changed my tactics - instead of just thinking I was ready to beat anyone, I started doing puzzles - a *LOT* of puzzles. I also started watching many tutorial videos, and just games of other players on like Chess com. The games that *weren't* 'Speed Chess' and those that were played by players not many years beyond my ability seemed to help the most. Although now the games of total beginners don't seem to do much for me. Sorry to write a book here, but my point is, take the advice in this video. If you noticed he made a big deal of pushing puzzles, and that was for a reason, obviously. Also, the 'Solo Chess' challenges on Chess com seem to help me a lot. They force you to not only visualize, plan and think ahead, but they also do it in a very interesting way. Ways that you really wouldn't encounter in a game. I don't even care about any rating at this point, and I may not even be to 800, but I already know my playing ability has increased by a good amount, and that's in well under *TWO WEEKS.* I believe if you _only_ play games you'll naturally get good......eventually, but if you do lots of puzzles, studying, and watching good tutorial videos, *while* you're playing games, you get much, much more from your invested time. Oh, it also seems to help me when I go back and analyze my games. Even if it's just stepping through the moves fairly quickly. Just last night I missed a checkmate and never knew it until I analyzed the game. I did eventually win the game, but missing a checkmate isn't really something you wanna be doing - EVER. *LOL* Thanks for the video. 👍

After learning a few openings and lots of puzzles my elo sky rocked

I do far more than you (train hours per day) but progress far slower 😢. It took me three months to get from 640 to 850, where I am today. But i have the feeling that I will get to 900 within a few days.

Thank you

I CANT GRIND PUZZULES CAUSE I DONT HAVE MONEY ANY ALTENATIVE

0 Elo is impossible, that means your title is clickbait, that means, no need to watch it ;)

This video is bad. Early on you say to spend zero dollars on chess, and then you say we must.

🥱 good lord, what an achievement.

London is cringe asf

You say to do puzzles a lot and that u shouldn’t spend money but then you can only do about 3 puzzles a week

0:30 - That bell curve is absolutely laughable...the vast majority of players are between 500 and 700, not f*cking 1500 lmao

5:26 Bro was frustrated because black moved first😂

1:42. Greek gift.

Puzzles. That is really effective. I was able to beat my opponents with tactic recognition

I’ve been stuck at 217 for 13 years

Which chess site do you use for analysis?

How does it take people so long? Or maybe It took me less time, I started playing in late Feb 2024 with 500-600 elo (before that I only had some knowledge but never really played chess) and as of now 10 Aug 2024 (6 months of playing) I am 1600+

Google screen shot

Can you be at negative ELO? If so, how would you go about getting to 0 ELO? Asking for a friend.

Can I do anything and reach absolutely anywhere if I start playing now as an 18 year old as a noob??pls tell me how and which direction I should work in if it's possible

I watched this video a year ago at 700 elo, now I'm 1700. This video was big in kick-starting my journey, thank you so much!

So you're saying, there's a chance?

i got 1900 elo lichess for 361 days from moment of registration. sorry for my bad english, i start learning english recently

Man I have to don’t spend money but puzzles is

Once i started using Scandi my elo climbed too!

I was 550 after 7 months I m now 1600

I went to 1.6k in just one month without book and just watching tutorial

Let me complete high school and college in just six years and also complete my graduation and get a degree in maths in idk how many years, then I'll devote my time to learn chess, learn new languages, go to the gym and improve nyself overall

07:00 jackpot

Incredibly helpful, I'll try to fight my way out of 500 elo purgatory Subscribed af

Thank youuuu

A recommendation for a free chess game is lichess it has tons of puzzles and tons of people playing (peak 200,000 a day according to website)

Did the same , and i reached 1694 under a year , started last year july ,

I took 1 day to complete 400😂😂

It took me 3 weeks to get to 648 elo

my elo is 0 bt i defeat a person who had 1200 elo

chess is for fun??? it's not to show your dominance and put yourself above than everyone else on the social hierarchy???

So sad

I am 1373 elo i started 4 month ago bruh i am so slos

Hey Rey, could you make a video about your setup against 1. d4? I really struggle against the London and the Queens Gambit

ive been playing for months and havent moved from 100 elo. i think im cooked guys
