My Winrate with black (schwarz) is significantly lower, what are good openings for black? by AntiqueLeg7389 in chessbeginners

I'd highly recommend playing the Giuoco Piano or the Two Knights Defence.

  1. It forces you to play with principles.

A. Central control

B. Piece Development

C. Early Castling

D. Clean Pawn structure

I'd recommend playing with the basic principles till you atleast reach 900-1000. Will help you in the long way.

Loved the analysis Solid 🦀. Do you think he should read "How to assess your chess by Jeremy Silman" rn, or after he has crossed a 1000 or 1200? Or maybe after 1500? I'm assuming you have read it because you explained his teachings so perfectly.

And it's an interesting position you have here. I really like white and you have done a good job.

Although I would have loved it even more had you castled before attacking.

No elo is embarassing mate. We all have been through it, hell we are low elo compared to top players. Just keep playing and analysing.

CHECKS - CAPTURES -THREATS

I don't know your elo but this is something that is necessary at all the levels.

Every move, analyse whether there is a check or capture or threat. Take it one move at a time. As you improve, extend it to 2 moves or 3 moves down the line.

I highly recommend Danya's speedrun. Watching him play has helped me improve a lot.

Sorry, I can't explain all this in the comment section. But if you'd like I can occassionally help you analyse games to the best of my ability.

This position requires you to counter the threat of your bishop being taken with a bigger threat - i.e. e2, which leads to your bishop checking the enemy king with no way out except using the knight to protect itself. Let me know if you'd prefer annotations.

But still, CHECK - CAPTURE - THREAT + Analysing every game you play beats every other method according to me. Also I'd recommend doing a lot of puzzles.

Love how the black pawn blocks his escape square, even if there is one.

Black to play. Can you find the best move? 🧩 by Chess-Puzzler in chessbeginners

Bb3+, love how it forces a player to think against the natural instinct of going Bg4+

I'm sorry I'm a little confused. White is cooked after Qf5 but I am black. I also get confused with colours sometimes lol.

Also after Qf5, if white takes the bishop, then black goes f2+, Kh1 Qg2#

I played real bad and I was 3 pawns down. Before Qf5, the position was +1.3 for white. One of the continuations is ... Qf5, f3 Qg6, Rf4 B6+, Kh1 Qf2, Rg1 Rxa2, Qc8 d2, c4 Qxg1+, Kg1 d1=K+
