Is anyone on here good at chess? And how do you get better?

I used to play with my grandad when I was a kid, I used to think he was a sort of Bonnyrigg grand master at it. When I beat him I celebrated like David Gray in 2016. Unfortunately as i got older, and proper chess players were handing my erse to me in 9 moves, i realised neither of us were up to much Ive been watching stuff online about various openings and so on,i like getting my knights into play and playing the 4 knights game or variations on that, but I think im just being let down by not paying attention. Or sheer stupidity.

Study the "London system". It is quick to learn, you can learn the basics in an hour, and already you will be very hard to defend against, at the sametime as being very hard to attack. Your friends and family will be "shocked". And like I said, the basics only take an hour to learn.

I am no master when it comes to chess. But I did beat a master once simply by using the London system.
