I need some Chess advice from good chess players?

I am an average chess player who wants to get much better. I usually play blitz games online which are 3-5 min game. I seem to be losing a lot lately. So I want to ask, When developing peaces, how do i go about initiating attacks, forcing my opponent pieces to be under pressure? Because usually im the one whose under pressure by the constact attack and always defenending. What are some key things that i need to know?I need some Chess advice from good chess players?
It is not my intent to be the one who seemingly enjoys going against the common thread of advice, but here I find myself.





Legion advised and 'bonehead' endorsed the idea of having your first 10 moves in mind before you even begin play. Did you realize...or maybe I should be asking them...that the number of possible ways of playing just the FIRST FOUR MOVES per side in a game of Chess is 318,979,564,000!? *





It is one thing to have a particular opening line in mind as you sit down to play, and indeed you should. It is quite another matter to presume your opponent is going to totally cooperate by playing the 'book' response that would enable your pre-planned 10 moves to, in fact, reach their fulfillment.





In most of the other aspects of my esteemed colleagues advice, I will concur, but would like to suggest some further strategies for you.





Below I will give you a list of sites where you can go to follow analysis of games by noted grandmasters; play against various levels of teaching computers; play back games and have each move analyzed; study the basic openings and defenses, and find enough general mix to thoroughly saturate your system with the nuances of chess.





One area I do disagree with 'bonehead' is in the area of time. If you are doing something you enjoy immensely, then time is not a factor. We all have priorities in our lives and we plan them accordingly. If chess is a high priority for you, then allocate it the time you want. (Sorry 'bonehead', but I'm not here to win friends. I'm here to give the best answers to questions I may have some expertise on, or at least a strong opinion.)





One last thing. Playing 3-5 minute games is good for your total experience too...in my opinion. I am convinced that this will succeed in forcing the brain into a faster thinking mode than would be it's normal 'default' speed. This advancement in neural synopsis will not cause the brain to lose or skip over important aspects or facets of your game, but merely teach it to see, research and ponder in a shorter span of time the same material it would otherwise take much longer to analyze. The end result is that when you enter into a tournament game with 2:40 or whatever on your clock, it will seem like an eternity to you and you will never suffer the onus of time pressure.





The player Bill was alluding to was Bobby Fischer, who did indeed sit on his hands as a youth to avoid taking the first move he spotted that looked good.

Hello;





I think one of the problems might be the speed chess ... try playing slower and looking a little deeper. I am not a fan of memorizing entire lines (I can't do it) but if you have the memory for it that is great.





I forget which player said that it improved his chess to sit on his hands. Another player (Emmanuel Lasker?) said that ';When you see a good move -- take a look at it -- you might see a better one.';





I enjoy the site:





http://www.chessgames.com





It is a database site where chess is studied and discussed.





I hired a chess coach a few years ago and it helped my play immensely. He was an expert becoming a master -- and he very patiently helped me to look at patterns better.

You need to have your first 10 moves in your head before you even start playing.
if your playing 3-5 minute games, you dont need advice
Good advice from Legion: openings are easy to practice and learn, and if you don't start well then you won't be able to do any attacking. Ever.


You can't form a good plan from a bad position.


Life is too short to learn from your own mistakes, so study the games of Grandmasters in your favourite openings, and try to mimic their plans and attacks. Plenty of material/games collections online in large databases.





Assuming you get through the first 10 moves ok, try to follow a standard plan, such as attacking your opponents king or his pawn structure. If his pawn structure has no weaknesses, then maneuver to create some. There is usually some sector where you have the advantage in some way (such as more space/control, or a pawn wedge), so that is where you should attack.





Record your games: you can receive an e-mail of the moves after the game is over. Then analyze using an engine, such as Fritz, or the online engine engine at Gamecolony: http://www.chesslab.com/PositionSearch.h鈥?/a>


And make notes of improvements.





Or post one of your games here, and ask for analysis. But better to do that sort of thing at a chess site, there are several (free to join) which allow and encourage this in their forums. Not sure that Yahoo is the ideal place for in depth analysis really: the level here seems to be 'can a king capture a king?'.
