I just got a player resigned after following the opening for the Italian Defense..... Im terrible so if anyone wants to play and get points but let me know what I am doing wrong or right it would be amazing. I havent played Chess in like 20 years so slowly learning while getting not so subtly destroyed
I am glad that you won with the Italian game
congrats on your first dub
The worst thing is afterwards accidentally clicking and like OMG terrible move /facepalm
Is there any time u would bring ur rooks out in first 5 moves?
nope
Sweet 2 wins. Ok leave rooks below and let knight bishop do their thing. Getting it!
So can someone explain to me why I lose due to Time Out? Ive been in decent position and lost a few times unknowingly. Explain to me like a 5 year old?
you've got a certain amount of time to make all of ur moves when it's ur turn the time wastes when u make a move the clock is moving for ur opponent when ur out of time u lose
to improve I would recommend playing 10+0 time control

@robertkerns77 I restarted playing chess 3 years ago having not played a game for 30 years. I had no idea what I was doing beyond moving pieces around. A win against Level 1 computer was impossible.
Anyway, I went searching on YT and by accident, found The Backyard Professor @thebyp. His enthusiastic presentation of master games, delivered in a way a complete beginner could understand, started to teach me the basics... like ‘rooks on open files’.. something I’d never heard of.
He is not a coach and doesn’t pretend to be but what he is, is a fantastic presenter. I could not follow any of the other presenters as they were ‘too fast’ and I could not follow what was going on. The basics are the building blocks and repeating the basics is the way to learn.
I learnt so much from watching his videos. I’ve watched many of them 2/3 times.
Some so called experts will denounce him as being a terrible coach. Ignore them and watch the videos for the unique way the games are explained. If you do, I hope you’ll get some great ideas that you can try to bring to your own games.
Once you start to get to grips and improve, then you can move onto Daniel Naroditsky, also excellent,. Also look up BEN Finegold for beginners, GothamChess and Eric Rosen.
I hope you find this helpful.
