I’m not a beginner, but i stopped playing chess for a pretty long time. Do you guys know how to get back “my level” of playing, maybe can somebody recommend books/chess channels etc.?

I would recommend looking or relearning opening strats or middle game pushes but you could also play slow and try to remember how to play because no matter how much elo you lose you can always get it back with enough time so just try to re embrace chess.

Just a quick thought or idea.

I found ChessVibes on YouTube offers quite good advice. He has a course too but it’s a little pricey

I got back to it after 25 years of not playing at all (except for really really rare occasions like once in a year).
- Best thing is to look through your games with game review

- Once you improve you can think about a coach (I got like 4 lessons within 2 years and it really helped me as well - I just get it when I round my score up by 100 points happy.png

- Do puzzles (I prefer those on Lichess - they're really better)
- I love Naroditsky's speedrun series on Youtube, its ABSOLUTE GEM, find the games a bit above your level and just watch and improve instantly.

- Books take quite a bit of time (got some from Yusupov and some that Naroditsky recommends but didn't really get into it to much - those those from Yusupov I tried a bit and gotta say they're really good - just takes a lot of time though)
