How many games a day is neccessary for beginners?

As you saw in my last topic ( stuck at 300 elo for weeks now ) you guys helped me a lot and my elo was skyrocketing from 280 to 360-380 and i lost less games because of your help, now i want to know or hear from you guys how many games a day is best for beginners to improve quickly? If anybody can spend some time to share their ideas i would really appreciate it. Thank you guys! edit : today i have played 9 games total, is that good or bad or should i play more or less?

For beginners, the number of games depends on their schedule and focus. Playing 2-3 games daily helps improve gradually. Alongside chess, exploring friv can be a fun way to relax and sharpen the mind.

For practice more games is always better. Do note though that chess fatigue will worsen your win/loss ratio, your first game of the day is always your best, but if you're trying to improve your skills and not your rating then go crazy. Just make you're taking as much of the clock as you can with each game. Don't be afraid to use a third or half your time in the opening, early middle game IMO, usually players at this level will allow tactics very early.

1.5 years stuck at the same rating. i want also an answer or hint.

Even on OTB, i'm bad as hell. A kid none-ranked yet just destroyed me in 10 min on 1 hour + 10s. i like also the things about "don't blunder, take your time, do this do that do this," and then chess is no more fun.

At your rating, I'd recommend looking at more candidate moves each turn. It's a pretty easy tip I don't see enough that is great in the 1100-1500 range. As a rule I look at 3 candidate moves minimum each turn no matter how 'forced' it seems, which catches a lot of the otherwise hard to find tactics. I also often end up with a list of 10-15 candidate moves in more tactical positions. I hope this advice is tangible and useful for you.

May I suggest you take some time to watch some Speed runs from some high level players like Naroditsky who explain the moves they are making and WHY they are making them.

I believe this will help improve your game. Puzzles also help, as you may actually recognize some of the situations in your games and remember them.

I will second this also. You should be planning ahead for what you are going to do, or try to do in the next few turns. If your opponent is thinking during his moves, use his time to think also. Don't just react. In fact reacting without thinking is how you blunder.

Maybe because i'm new at this but i find myself doing random moves(not all the time) , or sometimes a possible checkmate is in front of me but i don't see it right away.

The number of games to play depends on your ability to concentrate. So only play games if you can focus on the game. Also analyze each game directly to see the good and the bad moves.

It depends the time control. 3-5 rapid games is fine per day, rapid is your best chance at improving. You just just make sure you dedicate time to analyze your games and see where you went wrong.

playing many games against others at your level is not going to help at all. Even if you analyze the games afterward, what will you learn? That the game was decided by egregious errors.

It would be better to spend time learning basic opening, middlegame, and endgame principles. If you were my student, I would recommend about an 80-20 split, with 80 percent of your time on learning the basics and only 20 percent of your time playing.

and any game you play, I would have you analyze. And I don’t mean just having a computer tell you your mistakes. Analyze it on your own, so you can explain to me what were your ideas, what were your mistakes, and what you should have done instead.

3 Games

3 Strikes and your out

depends on the time control you play. 10 + 0 Rapid? Maybe 3 -4 games is good. Blitz? you can play like 7 blitz games. At the end of the day, beginners can just improve by playing games as well, no study required. Just watch videos, and play as many games as you can trying to do what they say in the video. So an alternative answer (if you can) is as many as you would like to or as many as you can without feeling tired (this can go for rapid, or blitz). Remember bullet is basically chess brainrot under 2000 Elo and beginners should stay away at all costs

Which one of youtubers can make me a good player

Play as many games as you can while staying focused and having time to learn from them.
