how to study chess?

Hi guys, I would like to study chess and make improvment. At the moment I'm average player. If any of you study chess professionally could you please advise me how to do it, where to start and how to develope plan. At the moments I'm learning some openings and looking for videos on you tube about pawn structure and end games. Thanks

Lessons

Read Andrew Soltis' book How to study chess.

Friend of mine made Master using the Dutch "Steps" method.  To be more precise, he used their tutorial interactive CD, Chess Tutor.  https://www.chess-steps.com/chesstutor.php

An excellent cd. Use it all the time.

Thanks, I`ve got the book 

Glad you got the book.  My favorite chapter is Two and a half move chess. If you want to discuss the book, send me a friend request, and we can "talk" about the book. Otherwise, just read and enjoy his book.

Focus first in the basics, solve huge amount of tactics problems. get a book for tactics and stick to it until you finished it and repeat until you solve 1 problem in an instant. next move to endgame, learn the very basic. A good book is the 100 Endgames You Must Know, learn it from the heart. You will notice your rating will increase.

HI galdave, thanks I`m doing 5 free tactics on chess.com, found one app with some puzzles that I`m doing daily as well. At the moment I`m reading Chess tactics for students - john bain. Also have for tactics Winning Chess Tactics/Seirawan, The Giant Chess Puzzle Book, Chess Tactics for Champions (Polgar and Truong) and Chess Tactics Training /Shumilin Nikolay -                       For endings, I`ve found Complete endgame course/Silman, Winning Chess Endings/ Seirawan and Dvoretsky's Endgame Manual; 

Hi thanks, I will add you for a friend but for the chat about the book, it will take a while as I'm already reading the other two books at the moment;

The easiest way is probably to get a trainer who guides you in the directions where you need to improve your play. For people who don't have the budget books and online videos are recommendable. Plenty of good stuff out there.

It's not a waste of money. I found it extremely helpful.

 

I have been playing chess for a while and I've been stagnant.... But then I have never properly studied the game. As a result, I keep repeating the same mistakes over and over and over again. My solution to this problem is to...

 

1) Take an extended break from playing. I'm talking about months, perhaps years.

 

2) After a long break from the game... I plan on to return and study. First do the lessons.

 

3) Then do some more tactics.

 

4) Then actively read books on endgame, strategy, and openings.

 

5) Play some Daily and/or real tournament chess.

 

The whole thing may take 10-15 years. But I have a tremendous will power and I'm a MGTOW. Cheers! ✌️

Hey GOP, what have you got against linguini

YouTube videos are a good start but you don’t get hands on practice. 

 

Playing helps but it’s a slow process and most stay stuck at a low level as they don’t know how to improve

 

Tactics help but such don’t help you with the openings. Openings are where most players have trouble.

 

Playing the computer gets frustrating as one loses almost all the time

 

Chess tutors are good but can quickly cost a lot of money

 

I recommend https://chesspractice.com. You can practice your opening and defenses over and over.   There are chess challenges that put you in a winning position so you can win :).  It doesn’t provide hints or suggestions. Instead, it shows the four best moves, but only after you make your move. and the opponents vary from 1st time players to chess master.
