    Default 10 min chess rating

    Almost 500 rating on that site. Not sure if that's ELO rating but I've been building up.

    I won two awards. One for two knights checkmate and one for bishops checkmate. Damn I am too good.

    Was this a computer game or against an online opponent?

    That depends on what your definition of good at chess is. I had a USCF rating over 1,200 Which by the standards of the general public I was pretty darn good but by tournament standards I was cannon fodder. This was back in the late 80’s when I was in my late 20’s. At that time I could beat the majority of computer chess games available at the time. Which wasn’t particularly very easy even back then but back then almost all computer chess games had one or several major flaws that when you discovered what that flaw was you could beat the computer program consistently most of the time.

    It became to time consuming though. Once I reached a solid intermediate ranking I was spending about four hours a day playing or studying chess.

    However if you just started playing chess seriously and you’re already achieving a 500 ranking that’s pretty darned good progress for a beginner.

    Thanks. Keep in mind it's a 10 minute game. 1 or 3 minutes games are impossible! LOL.

    Timed games, like playing computer chess, can be self limiting but it’s a great way to learn opening move set piece strategies like Ruy Lopez, Kings Gambit, Kings Gambit declined, etc., through into your middle game but will stunt you on your endgame play.

    A good set piece opening strategy to learn at the beginner stage are the three I just named. They are relatively easy to learn and you will defeat most beginner level players once you have learned them.

    The Ruy Lopez is a great one for a beginner to learn as you will almost always obtain a position advantage over your opponent that they cannot prevent from making. Though be warned you will need to execute a disciplined and patient approach to keep your opponent on the defensive and to maintain dominance on the center square. One ill advised aggressive move can blow your entire strategy up. It’s an excellent opening move to make if your opponent is aggressive on offense but weaker on defense.
