Originally posted by kaminskyseriously don't it will only hurt your game. With a smaller gameload you can take more time by each move and try to play the correct one every time, only move when you are certainly shure it is the best one. This is CC so no need to hurry and make a move imidiatly.
i started playing in may , i gave up poker online and bought Basic chess by david levens , good for starting but no depth. i looked up chess sites and picked this one , can some one tell me how its possible to play 82 concurrent games (tournament).
(jeez I should start listening to my one advice 😉)
Originally posted by DrivingInsaneIs this is such a good book for a beginner? It requires someone to be quite comfortable with using notation to get the most out of it. If a beginner was interested in this then I'd recommend they have a look and read some samples of it first to see if it's accessible.
Try Logical Chess Move By Move:

Here is an example from the first game. Every move does have a text explanation and there are regular diagrammes - I'll jump to move 4...
1.e4...e5
2.Nf3!...Nc6!
3.Bc4...Bc5
4.c3...Qe7
Very good! Black develops a piece while parrying the threat. If white persist in playing 5.d4,
the continuation 5....exd4, 6.cxd4...Qxe4+ wins a pawn, and an extra pawn, everything else
being equal, is enough to win the game.
So it's a good book packed with sound advice but perhaps only accessible to a beginner
ready to really work at it.
