i’ve recently gotten into chess after i watched "Searching for Bobby Fisher" in school
i wanna know how to play and b good at it

It really helps to have a chess coach.

Some people love to play in live tournaments, others online. Yet others just like it for fun.

The only thing they all have in common for getting the most out of their game is…a mentor.

You can do an awful lot yourself through study and experience, but a good coach gives you a short cut.

    Find someone to play against, like a sparring partner in boxing. Someone who is on about the same level of play or slightly better. Of course you could use a computer program, but that is not as satisfying. Most of what you need to know, on how to play will come from this.

    People will tell you to read this book or that. Just focus on learning what forks, double attacks, piling pressure on a pin, removing the defender is, and you will win most of your games at a non club level. There is a lot of info on the web.

    Great movie btw.

    Suggest that they start teaching it in your school. A lot of schools do that now.

    learning how to play chess is a fantastic choice, but its not easy

    id recommend a good beginners book
    you need to learn basic logic
    you need to learn basic rules
    you need to learn basic strategy

    every "serious" chess player has 2 sets, a plastic set for tournaments, and a wooden set for home games

    a good set has a 3&3/4 king height, and the chess board has 2&1/4 squares
    (dont get any rinky-dinky chess sets)

    get a chess board that has the numbers and letters on the edges..it helps you learn how to play, and you need it for tournaments

    (www. the chess store. com)….get a "staunton" style chess set

    If you want to learn Karate or Tae Kwon Do properly the best way to learn it is under the guidance of an experienced Sensei/Teacher who knows what he or she is doing well it’s no different with Chess if you want to learn Chess properly and you don’t want to be a mediocre patzer or fish the best person qualified to teach you how to play the game is a GM or IM or FM or NM

    You’ll have to study hard read Chess Books, practice often against superior opponents who are better than you and learn the tactics of the game which takes time and lots of effort!

    Good luck remember what I said work hard don’t give up and put the effort into it and you’ll become a good player.

    Work, work, work.

    Getting involved in your school’s chess program. Participating in USCF sanctioned tournaments, "United States Chess Federation". Of course, getting into a program under a USCF certified coach. When a third rerun of the Simpsons is on, turn off the TV and get the chess beginner book that you check out from your school’s library and study. Chess is demanding but the rewards are great. You can be the best at your school, the best in your grade (nationally), the best in your state, the best in the nation, on the olympic team, and the best in the world. Gm Alex Yermolinsky says "chess is for the best and the brightest" and "chess is a wonderful companion at times". It is an amazing game!
