Go on the Internet Chess Club. (www.chessclub.com ) you can find a grandmaster there to give you lessons. The best thing to do is : find someone that is very strong, show them your mjost recent games, and they will tell you how to improve.
For tactics, get a good tactics book. My favorite is combination challenge, by Hayes and Hall. Do a few problems every day, and in a few months you will be tactically amazing.
I have found that studying openings is not the best way to approach the game. But if you must, get a video on the opening you like. You learn the openings better with Videos than books.
Of course. All players are more incentivised to play classic format more and better. The fact that he has dominated for some time allowed him to draw more attention to other formats (and even online bullet). He’s that competitive.
Carlsen’s achievement is great, but one of the reasons why other players are not so strong in rapid and blitz is that the incentives are not quite there. Rapid and blitz usually pay much less and are not as promoted at the top level.
Castling is a strategic move that moves the King and Rook in one move. It can get the king out of tight positions and free the rook to move around the board. You can only castle when the King is not in check. Also, the Rook and King that are castling can not have moved once during the game
best move?
Varies according to opponent, position, time, etc.
I like 0-0-0 (castlelong) to turn staid position into slugfest unexpectedly.
I would say that you need to focus on the best strategy to gain a winning advantage instead of talking about a single best move, or series of moves. The first strategy I would suggest would be to control the center. From there, your pieces have lots of range and can react to any situation much better than if they are stuck on the sides.
I don’t know if you can talk about a best chess move the way you are asking. If you are looking at the beginning of the game, your opponent has to give you help to be able to checkmate early.
Most of the time as a beginner, your first move as white should be e4. Bobby Fisher said it is “Best by test.” As you learn more you can try d4, c4, Nf3 and others as opening moves. Try to control the middle of the board and keep each piece as mobile as possible. In other words, develop each piece to a square where it attacks and defends as many squares as possible. To take an obvious example, Nf3 is nearly always better than Nh3. Develop at least one knight within the first few moves.
