For those who already know how to play chess but want to get better (preferably quickly with minimal, targeted training), I wrote a guide called "How to Get Good at Chess, Fast" that hit #2 on HN: http://www.gautamnarula.com/how-to-get-good-at-chess-fast/ http://www.gautamnarula.com/how-to-get-good-at-chess-fast/
- primitivesuave 11y agoThis is fantastic, thank you for sharing this with the people who missed it the first time around.
- gautamnarula 11y agoGlad you found it useful! If you have any questions, feel free to leave a comment on the post and I'll get to it as soon as I can.
- vewnew 11y agoJoined HackerNews today. Thanks for sharing this!
- mattmanser 11y agoHello! As a friendly warning, you shouldn't post "thanks!" type posts on HN. They'll get d/ved to oblivion.
- anjanb 11y agoI've been on hackernews almost from the beginning and I didn't know this rule. Maybe once in a while, it's good to share basic rules :-)
- gedrap 11y agoIt's not really a rule, more like an observed behavioral pattern :) The idea is that a comment should add something meaningful - constructive discussion, sharing your personal experience with the topic being discussed. Also, as far as I know, posts with high comments/votes ratio are penalized (flame wars detection).
- gangadhargs 11y agoThanks for that tutorial! Is there an online alternative to that CD based "Chess tactics for beginners"?
- colund 11y agoI'm sorry, but I think your guide just reiterates the old wisdom that one needs to practice a lot and analyse games.
- HiroshiSan 11y agoThank you for this, is there anything similar for getting better at math/problem solving? Right now I'm going through the art of problem solving series but I would like to incorporate more.
