// WHY_LEARN_THIS?
To think three steps ahead in life. The royal game.
The Experiment: I asked ChatGPT to design a strict 24-hour crash course to learn Chess. I stripped away the fluff. This is the raw data on how to go from Zero to Glitch in one day.
// THE_FIRST_HOUR
Most people quit in the first 45 minutes. Here is the exact starting instruction to survive:
"Learn how the pieces move"
// THE_AI_PROMPT
"Act as a world-class expert in Chess. Create a strict, hour-by-hour schedule for a complete
beginner to learn the basics in exactly 24 hours. Focus on practical application over theory. My
constraint is Chess.com + Stockfish."
// THE_SCHEDULE
| Timeframe | Module | Objective |
|---|---|---|
| Hour 0-2 Setup |
Foundation & Mechanics | Learn how the pieces move |
| Hour 2-6 The Grind |
Theory & Openings | Memorizing the first 10 moves. The blueprint. |
| Hour 6-12 Application |
Mid-Game Tactics | Solving puzzles. Looking for weaknesses. |
| Hour 12-18 Debug |
Troubleshooting | Pitfall Avoidance: then learn the 'Scholar's Mate' (4-move checkmate). |
| Hour 18-24 Mastery |
The Final Project | Execute: Beat a 1000 ELO bot |
