Re: Chess
mjd2505I'm about 1300 elo on chess.com, so fairly intermediate, on the lower end.
Depends what sort of content you want really. I really like Levy Rozman, or "Gothamchess" on youtube because I think he's both entertaining and instructional, but might not be a view you share.
He does have a book "How to win at chess" which I would recommend. He used to teach chess so I think he'd be a good starting place. Here's the amazon link for it: [www.amazon.co.uk]
What elo are you on chess.com? Happy to give you some more basic pointers if you'd like
Great advice. I'm about the same level and will probably plateau there as I don't have time to study properly. Gotham Chess videos are really useful and amusing.
Chess Time Live is a good app. I find I'm much stronger on 10 min games vs the 2 min where I don't go fast enough.
I'd recommend learning the Vienna (white) and the French Defence (black).
Warning. You will get addicted.
