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/


I'm sorry, but I think your guide just reiterates the old wisdom that one needs to practice a lot and analyse games.


This is fantastic, thank you for sharing this with the people who missed it the first time around.


Glad 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.


Joined HackerNews today. Thanks for sharing this!


Hello! As a friendly warning, you shouldn't post "thanks!" type posts on HN. They'll get d/ved to oblivion.


I'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 :-)


It'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).


Thank 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.
