Hello everyone. I'm Tyler, and I just started playing chess seriously. I'm 17, and I think I'm pretty intelligent.

So, if anyone could give me some quick advice, that would be wonderful 🙂

I will try. I feel very young and naive sitting here with all of these Elite chess players around. Makes me feel kinda childish.

Place your opponent so that the sun shines in his eyes.

Negative. I've tried this one. The sun one works though. Good for at least one pawn.

Hello!

Don't bring out the queen too early.
Try to avoid locking in your own pieces.
Castle early and often 😉

I used to play blitz chess in a local Oxford pub on Friday evenings and we had an informal challenge to see if we could get away with castling more than once in a game. Obviously this involved getting your king back to e1/e8 and was quite difficult to pull off, but it became easier as the evening progressed.

Welcome to the board !c

I already castle twince in blitz, once with my queen.and the other ith my king.

That castling ove put him in check, but he did not see it. and I took the king..

intelligence (or lack of) has nothing to do with ones chess ability.
