I really wanna get better, but I can't afford a chess coach. Any ideas of how I can improve my game?

1. Analyze your own games, particularly your losses. I* believe member aww-rats produced an excellent video on how to analize your games

2.Takes a few chess mentor courses, start with courses on tactics and simple e3nd games.

3.there are an awfull lot of ngreat videos available of chess.com

4.Play slow games and move slowly and really concentrate.

Do this and you will get a lot stronger

Thanks!!

Adding to paulgottlieb's excellent suggestions => If you have a good chess club within your city/town,  visit it often, challenge all strong players regularly (try to get a game with them) and play local tournaments OFTEN!   In most cities, you often find good players who literally give you free lessons when you ask them to post-mortem review/go over a game you played with them.  

I've always noticed that when we start out, we more often pay attention and remember the things we should NOT be doing ... and less on what we should be doing.  That's why sponging from players at clubs works so well :)

Enjoy playing.....relax....you will learn the more you play .....and  I agree with besovalltime

Good to know! for all of those comments :) thanks for helping me out guys!!

Borrow a book by Jacob Aagaard from your local library.

I joined :)

This is an excellent advice. If his books are not available, try John Nunn. He authored dozens of chess books aimed at intermediate players like you.

Great! I'll look into both those authors :)

Cool, thanks
