another vote for the seris "Queen's Gambit" here, it's a great series, and also my favorite opening when playing whites.

I agree that practice helps to improve, but studying and learning more strategies and techniques too!

Hmm... interesting! Thanks for your recommendation and shared with us.

Talking about learning, yes, sure, because one thing complements the other!
It is interesting to study, learn new strategies, see tutorials and strategies and put all this into practice.

The Queen's Gambit opening is considered one of the strongest opening for white due to its aggressiveness. There are lots of traps in that position where you can win a piece or even sacrifice a piece to checkmate the King in a specific move order, but I will highly recommend for you to master it!

Another fun fact, that is also the reason on why the series on Netflix is named after such opening. It has been used by chess GMs over and over again to the point that they already know or encountered the same position repeatedly.

That's correct I started watching Queen Gambit after I read it is recommended here by one of the members.
This is very beautiful series and I liked it so much - particularly how the game changes the life of little Hermon. Is it based on true events?

if my memory is correct the series is based on an homonymous novel, but not a true story, a fictional one
still amazing

I should watch it again one day now that I know a bit more about chess

wow, interesting, I confess I didn't know that! thanks @qwertyup23
I confess that with each passing day I am more interested in chess, although I am a beginner, I need to learn several things, tactics and moves!

When I see some chess pros playing I feel useless lol, I'm extremely impressed with what some people can do during a chess game

So the Champions Chess Tour just finished and a big congratulations for Ding Liren for winning the match against Pragg! I really thought that Pragg would win given that he has been dominating the tournament so far but Ding managed to beat him in a best of 3 series.

If Ding were to participate and win in the candidates, I do think that Magnus Carlsen would participate in the next WCC, since he had mentioned in the past that he would most likely not participate until he is against Alireza.

A nice series to watch I keep my TV screen and watch it these days.
Thanks to one who suggest it. Got a good stuff to binge watch NETFLIX now.

This seems very good to me, but I think they do it as a protection measure for children and do not access pages that are potentially very dangerous for them, but it is good that children, parents encourage them to platforms or apps that are quite good As in the case of Duolingo, which teaches languages, or maybe you see a page that can teach them chess moves or that they play chess, I know that now everything in children's culture is digital because even the very tasks that they are sent in schools have to do with it, therefore children are now very expert looking for anything on the internet, so if these sites are encouraged with the respective guidance and supervision, everything can go well.

I don't think it's only that.
Phones can be an amazing tool, of course, like when you mention duolingo
but they can be addicting and destructive too

there are some interesting articles and news on that, check it here:

amazing! I'm still playing a lot, almost everyday, but want to get back to study more, I should improve my midgame and endgame
starting to get openings better lately
I'm practicing most of the times with the same opening and same defense, as advised by a friend who's really into chess (ranked about 2000 on lichess)

Yes Well, I'm very happy that you're improving your game, the truth is that this sport is very good, besides, it requires a lot of time to improve, I see it as analogous to swimming because if you want to lose time you have to train for many hours and chess you have to train a lot to improve, unless you are a genius and you understand everything quickly and see moves in a short time, which, that skill is taken based on more training, I do not know if you have seen a series called "Queen's Gambit"? It is an excellent series, it would be very good if you saw it so you get more motivated, they show it on netflix, I really recommend it.

Hmm....thanks for that info and the recommendation @LUCKMCFLY I'll check it out on Netflix.

@Lucasgabd @LUCKMCFLY
Just like in the most varied sports, for you to improve and gain skills and experience, you need to practice, practice and practice again!! I believe this is the best way for a player to improve in this sport.

And what games do you think people have time for? Or do you propose not to play anything at all, but only to work?
It's kind of weird to hear that chess is a dying game, because if I'm on the internet chatting with a person from another country/culture and we suddenly decide to have some fun, then chess is more likely to be a common place where we can do it than any other computer game.

Most of kids these days are more interested in playing video games. They have all the focus of Youtube videos and they hardly have any time to play board games.
Although many people are very loud is promoting board games but how many of us actually have time to get rid of screens? Time have changed a lot.

well, everyone has the same 24 hours in a day
limiting screen time for children is a mission for their parents
have you heard that on silicon valley most of the children of these parents that work at social media and tech company can't use screens at all or have very limited access to it?

This seems very good to me, but I think they do it as a protection measure for children and do not access pages that are potentially very dangerous for them, but it is good that children, parents encourage them to platforms or apps that are quite good As in the case of Duolingo, which teaches languages, or maybe you see a page that can teach them chess moves or that they play chess, I know that now everything in children's culture is digital because even the very tasks that they are sent in schools have to do with it, therefore children are now very expert looking for anything on the internet, so if these sites are encouraged with the respective guidance and supervision, everything can go well.

for me the coolest thing about playing online is being matched with people more or less my ranking, what makes the game more challenging
in real life is a bit harder for me to find people who play chess often and are good at it.

ELO/MMR matchmaking is one of the coolest features in any online game. If both sides are honest, then a competitive game is obtained that is interesting to both sides. It's funny that even here there are fans of cheating - they deliberately drain the rating in order to dominate weak players later. And many sites are banned for this (for example, Lichess, as far as I know).

the cool part about chess too is that there's no pay to win at all, it's all about skills (if you don't cheat, of course)

about the end of your message, you refer to users who lose on purpose only to be able to beat lower rank users?
a bit lame if you ask my opinion but... who knows
dopamine kicks are quite strong with online chess, specially for fast games.
