Welcome to 50 Chess Games for Beginners

This Chess site is for players who have mastered the basic moves and now wish to improve their game.

It is written by two enthusiasts, who have taken up Chess over the past couple of years. We offer a guided tour through 50 games (recorded as we went through the learning process), showing our successes and failures; our brilliant flashes of inspiration; and our inexplicable blunders. We have analysed the games to bring out basic chess principles and strategies. The games are presented, warts and all, with no editing or tidying up. We hope that visitors, particularly new chess players, can learn something worthwhile from studying these games.

This website is provided free of charge, for addicts and wannabes alike, although we do accept donations if you would like to show your appreciation. If you find it interesting or useful please send us an e-mail telling us what you liked. Suggestions for improvement are always welcome.


Enjoy your visit - and come back soon.
