“Don’t Mistake Entertainment For Instruction”

There’s no doubt that chess is on the rise. Thanks to the wave of content creators, streamers, and influencers, chess is making its presence felt on nearly every social media scroll.

But while indulging in chess videos on YouTube or watching your favorite streamers can be entertaining, remember that this content is designed to capture your attention and entertain, not necessarily to educate.

Here are the best ways to improve at chess:

1. Play Chess: Play actively to improve at chess.

2. Review Your Games: Discover weaknesses in your own play.

3. Read Chess Books: There’s a wealth of knowledge in every book.

4. Use Training Tools: Solve puzzles and tactics with online tools.

5. Study Courses: Learn from courses created by qualified instructors.

6. Live Classes: Engage in live interactive learning with chess classes.
