Learning English Beginner
Lakia Throssell
I am a fairly athletic person. Growing up, I was always picked at least in the top 1/3rd or so of any people, for any sport or game that was being played, no matter what it was. I was a jack of all trades and master of none. This inspired in me a sort of mildly inappropriate feeling of entitlement to skill without a lot of effort, and so it went when I became a bowler.
Most people who bowl put a thumb and two fingers in the ball and carefully cultivate tossing the bowling ball in a pattern that causes the ball to start wide and hook into the middle. With no patience for learning that, I discovered I could do a pretty good job faking it by putting no fingers and thumbs in the ball and kind of twisting my elbow and chucking the ball down the lane.
In 1980, a couple of brothers with the last name Dreyfus proposed a model of skill acquisition that has gone on to have a fair bit of influence on discussions about learning, process, and practice. Later they would go on to publish a book based on this paper and, in that book, they would refine the model a bit to its current form, as shown on wikipedia.
This is actually the exact path that my bowling game followed in my path from bowling incompetence to some degree of bowling competence. I rapidly improved to the point of competence and then completely leveled off. In my case, improvement hit a local maximum and then stopped altogether, as I was too busy to continue on my path as-is or to follow through with my retooling.
And so we have chronicled the rise of the Expert Beginner: where they come from and why they stop progressing. In the next post in this series, I will explore the mechanics by which one or more Expert Beginners create a degenerative situation in which they actively cause festering and rot in the dynamics of groups that have talented members or could otherwise be healthy.

Hello,
Development is a brainstorming and patience process. First of all you should learn basic from free resource then if you think this is suite for you then follow a perfect mentor. I think this is a good process for a newbie developer.
@tygxc - there is nothing wrong with the king's gambit. It loses exactly 1% more than the queen's gambit across all levels of play, and draws less, even for players rated 2000+. I'm sure Judith Polgar didn't regret it when she used it as her main weapon to become the youngest GM in history, or to beat Topalov in 26 moves right before he played Anand for the world championship.
Everything depends on what you want to achieve. There's no rule saying you can't play a certain opening until a certain level. In fact, the King's gambit gets taught to quite a few young kids as well, as it's an exciting opening. Usually you'll get back the pawn and have a nice position. Just remember to play 3. Nf3 (to prevent Qh4+). If you're still trying to learn about tactics and combinations, I'd guess the King's gambit is actually quite nice to play for fun for a while. Don't study opening lines though!
If you are looking for an opening to improve rapidly, I'd suggest opening 1. d4 and the queen's gambit. It's safer than the King's gambit and there's a lot more strategical chess to be played. You'll learn more about where to put your pieces and how to plan, while still needing to be aware of tactics. 1. e4 is of course a good opening too, but to play it well you need to know so much more about dynamic chess (like the initiative mentioned above, something even 2000 players struggle with most of the time) and dynamic chess can only be played well with a strong understanding of more static principles in chess. That's why I've always taught my pupils to start out with 1. d4 and then to switch back to 1. e4 after gaining a solid experience with 1. d4.
Toad. The reason why the kings gambit is not played at the highest levels is that it's almost always a draw, not because it loses. Even in the computer chess championships it's almost always a draw. There is no refutation. Also, by far, black should accept the gambit for the best winning chances. The Falkbeer countergambit is one of the most inferior responses to 2.f4 that black can choose. Believe me on this one, I know. I've studied the theory extensively for all major lines.
If one is so inclined, King's Gambit strikes me as a fine opening for beginners and class players. It exercises the tactical muscles, teaches king-side attacks, exposes one to insane positions, forces one to play hard a pawn down. Plus Black usually won't know the opening as well as White.
I'm intrigued by your 1.d4 suggestion for amateurs. You make a sensible argument without the dogmatism which often accompanies these discussions. It's an interesting alternative to the more frequent demand that beginners learn double king pawn first.
Imo just firmly understanding the concept of piece activity and what the best squares for the pieces are will serve you better in creating attacking chess than trying to learn the King's Gambit and artificially trying to manufacture attacks based off of incorrect instinct.
You might play into the Muzio gambit thinking that you have a raging attack because someone else says you do, but do you really understand how the cumulated pressure with the Bishop on c4, its most active square, and the queen-rook battery all pressure the weak f7 square, even with a black pawn in the way?
If I were on your place I would consider openings like Ruy Lopez, Italian or Scotch, Vienna, Main line D4 openings. But not the King's Gambit. I am aware how wonderful opening it is but the problem is you are weakening your King too early in the game and King saftey is one of the most important thing you should consider in the opening. In King's Gambit you give up your King saftey for the powerful center.
The tactical complications of the King's Gambit is really tough to keep up in a rapid/blitz game and a lot of opportunities King's Gambit offers us will just be overlooked and even if you try to turn on the engine and see what could you have done better, most likely you still won't get it.
In the end I would like to say that play an opening that you find interesting there is a chance you will love it. And if you love a opening continue playing it even if it contradicts general chess advice, in the end it's about playing chess and having fun.
So let me get this straight, a chess engine that is rated probably more than 800 points higher than the best human, only draws 70% of the time playing itself, while winning 6% and losing 23% proves that the opening is unsound? Are you rated 3600+? Is anyone in the world? Especially when actual humans play, it scores over 50%? Really?
I said that the opening has never been refuted. Refuted means that in known lines, the opening loses by force. If the KG were refuted, AlphaZero would lose 100% of the time. I also said that in computer championships, it was almost always a draw, which is also true. The only thing that figure proves is that when played by AlphaZero, the opening is pretty bad.
I'm a beginner in the field of F5 and I've been trying to learn F5 especially on the LTM module but I'm required to understand the GTM module, but I don't think I've really mastered the LTM module yet, can I ask for advice from the F5 Warriors so I can understand both Module 2 is running fast and is there a module that I can learn for both modules, thank you
The Machine Learning Specialization is a foundational online program created in collaboration between DeepLearning.AI and Stanford Online. This beginner-friendly program will teach you the fundamentals of machine learning and how to use these techniques to build real-world AI applications.
This Specialization is taught by Andrew Ng, an AI visionary who has led critical research at Stanford University and groundbreaking work at Google Brain, Baidu, and Landing.AI to advance the AI field.
It provides a broad introduction to modern machine learning, including supervised learning (multiple linear regression, logistic regression, neural networks, and decision trees), unsupervised learning (clustering, dimensionality reduction, recommender systems), and some of the best practices used in Silicon Valley for artificial intelligence and machine learning innovation (evaluating and tuning models, taking a data-centric approach to improving performance, and more.)
Machine learning is a branch of artificial intelligence that enables algorithms to automatically learn from data without being explicitly programmed. Its practitioners train algorithms to identify patterns in data and to make decisions with minimal human intervention.
