First Tip: Playing more games

Surprise, surprise, buckets of fries! The *FIRST* tip is to play more games! Don't worry about losing your rating, ever heard of: "Failure is the mother of sucess"? Well, that sure came in handy! Anyways, playing more games gains your experience, *NOT* playing with computers though, try to play with *REAL* players instead! Why do I say that? It's because unlike real players, computers keep moving the same moves everytime! And real players like you and I don't *ALWAYS* move the same moves! Now let's move on to the second tip...

Second Tip: Play puzzles

Okay, so here we are in the *SECOND* tip! Playing puzzles sometimes help you with tactics! If you're new in chess, I suggest you to start with simple puzzle like: Checkmate in 1, Promotion, Castling and En passant. (Yes I know most of it is in the special moves theme) Some of you might think, how do you improve by *JUST* playing puzzles? Well, the truth is, some people *MIGHT* not like playing puzzles. Instead, they like playing chess games even more. I'm not forcing you to play puzzles, but why not try it out?

Third Tip: Memorize openings + endgames

Wow, we're at the third tip now! Anyways, memorizing openings + endgames sometimes helps you in chess games. But don't get me wrong, there's hundreds and thousands of openings and endgames. You don't need to memorize *ALL* of them, but memorizing some openings or endgames *MIGHT* help you! You can start memorizing easy or common openings and endgames. Here's some common opening names: The Ruy Lopez, Italian Game, Sicilian Defense, French Defense, Caro Kann Defense + more! There's a *LOT* of openings so here's some common chess opening names you can try! Now let's move on to the common endgames you can try! I hope you learnt something! :)

Fourth Tip: Play in tournaments

Here we are, at the *FORUTH* tip! Playing in tournaments helps you gain more experience because you can play with different people from all over the world! (Yes this is similar to the first tip) But if you're new to chess I advice you to do tip two and three first! Here's some teams you can join which usually holds tournaments: Lichess Swiss, Zhigalko_Sergei & Friends, pawn stars 2, Bengal tiger and many more! (Sorry for not able to put more teams here)

Fifth Tip: Focus on one variant

Soooo, the *FIFTH* tip is to focus on *ONE* variant. Sometimes playing too many variants at the same time *MIGHT* make you confuse what to play. For example: you are playing standard, but you thought it was atomic and plays the "atomic style" instead. I don't really like playing too many variants. But of course, it's your choice, not mine.

Sixth Tip: Don't play fast time controls *THIS TIP IS FOR NEW CHESS PLAYERS*

The *SIXTH* tip, wow! Playing fast time controls when you're not stable in slow time controls isn't that good. Why do I say that? Because if you're not stable in slow time controls means lesser time to think, and lesser time to think means *MORE* blunders and mistakes *PLUS* mouse slips. And sometimes if we lose we become frustrated and angry. (Anyone can relate to that? 'cause I can) So I advise you to play 20+0, then 15+5, then 15+0 and so on.

Ending

I hope this messy blog helped *YOU* to improve in chess. If it did, congrats and good luck in the future! But please keep in mind, this might not work for some people, and only hard work will pay off. So doing these daily are encouraged, but make sure to sleep and eat! Not eating won't give you energy, and no energy sometimes means getting sick, and getting sick means no chess! And no one wants that, do you?
