Need someone to stop me from smashing my laptop

  Background-Ive always been good at everything Ive put a lot of effort in (any sized rubiks cube, sports, most hobbies really) But chess has my frustration at an all time high.  

  So I started playing chess last year in high school my senior during my study halls. I've always had a very addictive and unnecessarily competitive personality (The kid who treats gym class like the olympics). My school had about 10 kids who played chess at about a 750 level and due to sticking to basic opening principles and horrible opponents I became the best of us all and Life was good.

     Now that Ive graduated I recently had an urge to play chess again and started here on chess.com. I pretty much started getting smacked around to a low 800 rating. I watched numerous videos, tactics trainor, played a bunch and Im having multiple problems.

*Visualizing many moves ahead

*Im told to make a plan (attack a hanging pawn, pressure kingside, yada yada) but when I attempt to follow throughIt gets thwarted, They attack, I get defensive and up blundering/:

*I see many good players giving advice saying things like "Dont overplay your position...Make sound tactical moves"  When I play I tend to get pawn bullied when trying to place a night/bishop past the 4th rank.

Yesterday I actually watched an multiple 30 minute videos on improving chess and read articles and gained over 100 rating points to an 1111 rating after going 15.4.2 on the day. Today has been the opposite with me dropping nearly 100 points.

    Im currently obessed with becoming a great player and Im fascinated by the game and its infinite possibilities. I feel as though I need some guidlines or guidance to improve. Basically Im begging for advice

P.S Is there anything I can do to stop the annoyance of h3 preventing my knight from advancing/:

Must be slang for an opening

Aim for smaller improvements. Someday you may become a great player, but your goal for the moment should just be to become 100 points stronger (eventually). By 100 points stronger I mean that your rating never goes below 1100 and you hit 1200 reasonably often.

Keep track of your rating over time - if you play several games a day... your rating will go up and/or down a lot.

Don't pay too much attention to what your told from anyone rated much more than 200 points higher than you: you need to learn things that will help you against opponents who are rated 100-200 points higher than you, not 300-400 points higher than you.

Try to find the one mistake that you are making the most often (track it by keeping a mistakes diary) and then work on that one.

P.S. As someone who has been known to advance their h-Pawn one square... it's quite annoying to have my opponent sacrifice their Bishop and then move in for a checkmate!

There are many people here who are much more qualified than myself to give you advice on your studies, and hopefully they will be here shortly to give you specifics, but I think they're basically going to tell you to play longer time controls and study tactics.  You may also have to adjust your expectations as far as improvement is concerned.  It's a very slow process that takes a lot of work. 

I'm really competitive too, and even though I've come to expect regular cold streaks they still get me really frustrated.  It's just part of the process.  You'll hit a new high, and then have a bad day and feel like all your progress is gone, but you just have to work your way back up, and hit a new peak just higher than the last.  Then you'll drop a few points and work your way back up again and again.

Good luck

Thanks! And yea Im sure my improvement expectation is off, but Its just everything else Ive put this much effort into Ive gotten better at a pretty accelerated rate, Chess seems to be the exception being one of the most complex games of all time

I thought you were going to tell how you smash your laptop. Anyways, Good Luck for your chess journey!

I've just seen your games,your pawns is an easy target for your opponent.

So my advise is : study pawn structure.

Thanks! Certainly the kind of advice Im looking for. Any studying reccomendations? Videos, an article, etc?

You must view your journey as a learning experience and have a proper perspective of losing.

Most players ... do not like losing, and consider defeat as something shameful. This is a wrong attitude. Those who wish to perfect themselves must regard their losses as lessons and learn from them what sorts of things to avoid in the future. - Capablanca

Sound advice Robbie, I think Im going to start a review after everygame I play and see where I couldve Improved, ties in with the mistake diary. Ive actually never reviewed a game I lost, just the rare games a I make a sacrifice leading to mate so I can be proud of myself lol/:

1) Don´t drop pieces.

I´m not joking, just avoid giving pieces away for free, before making any move verify that you are not going to lose that piece.

2) Study tactical patterns. 

3) Improvement usually doesn´t came immediately. It´s possible that you study and then get stuck at a level and you don´t seem to improve for some time, and then you simply jump in rating.

4) Don´t worry too much about losing rating, just try to learn, review your games.

5) If possible play at least 10 minutes games or online chess (1 day/move, 3days/move).

I laughed at the dont drop pieces but after thinking back at my games I tend to do A 3 second knee jerk reaction to a move and give things away.

And Also all Ive ever really played is 10|0

if u dont want to smash your laptop aither smash your biggest enemy jokes or smash a pillow and wrestle it on the ground

Mecastyles , if you only play 10-0, you dont really have enough time to think much. Spending half your chesstime on games with long timecontrols, maybe online 3-days a move will help.

Deeper thinking that can give you deeper strenght.

Join a chessclub, and if they have education there, join that class.

gluestix, the guy who blocks you cause you like the same footballer as him and ask a question about it. Pathetic. OP: sorry for the offtopic.

H3 blocking your knight what?

Okay one more:

Think before you move.

I mean... before every move, don´t rely on your previous analysis. Don´t do a move just because it was what you decided while you were doing your previous move. Maybe you didn´t notice some change on the position that you could see now.

Avoid automatic moves. Avoid automatic recaptures. Maybe there´s something better.  Check for it before moving.

Maybe I'll start some 15|10. No chessclubs around here sadly, not much of anything really, I live in a very small town. And thanks for the added advice Panda, I appreciate it :)

I'd also like thank everyone who posted something supportive, The response is much better than I expected and its truly appreciated!
