I'm trying to study pawn endgame situations, making less blunders and mistakes, and learning how to use the openings correctly. I'm also trying to figure out how to play a middlegame where everything is basically equal and theres nowhere to move.

Hello fellow chess enthusiasts,
I am a 14 year old teenager with an average rating of 1000 in rapid games. I’m looking for a kind and experienced chess player, preferably over 2000 rating, who would be willing to coach me for free on Chess.com. I’m passionate about improving my skills and would greatly appreciate guidance in areas like openings, middle-game strategy, and endgame techniques without spending money. Here is one of the games I've played recently:
In return, I can offer my dedication to learning and making the most of your time and effort. I’m eager to work hard, analyze games, and take your advice to heart.
If you’re someone who enjoys teaching or mentoring and can spare the time, please reach out to me through my Gmail: jayz8at@gmail.com. Your help would mean a lot!

If anyone plays D4 and or also plays an offbeat opening such as Byrd or something - hit me up for a match. Or not. You know, whatever...

So i frequently will drop a lot of rating points, many many losses in a row, i was 1226 rapid and i'm now back at 1094, in the span of idk, an hour of playing, same happened in blitz where i was 870 i think, and then dropped all the way back to 600 at some point, so, i wanted to know why that happens and how i can make it happen less frequently at least, thank you

Hello, all
I am currently stuck in 1400 rapid and need someone to help me get to 1600 by the end of next year. Not a huge goal, I know, but I want to take some small steps. If you can help me get to 1800 rapid, that would be great.
I need this person to be higher rated than me and can play at least once a week. I also would appreciate active communication and similar timezones to play in as I don't want to have to play at 1 am my time.
Be warned, however: I may be 1400 rapid, but I can play like an 1800 on my best days! I would appreciate it if you could give me quality advice and communication.
I have Discord, Zoom, email, and lots of different ways to connect with people. DM me if interested!

The best piece of advice I could give to people under 2000 who want to improve is that you shouldn't be playing the Sicilian or E4 E5 as black. White has many options that make it difficult to play as black at that level. Instead play the Caro-Kann defense which is much simpler. I'm not trying to say the Caro is the best opening (I play e5 mainly and the classical Sicilian occasionally) but the plans are simpler and you won't have to waste what at that level is valuable time on learning what to do against all the various gambits and options White has available.

I'm currently 2000 rapid and looking to improve to 2100-2200. Looking for people that can play a few games + analyse (or organise more regular practice times). Anyone 1800 - 2200ish, preferably in eastern (aus / asia) timezone to make times easier.

I need to make a post entirely dedicated to this absolute firecracker of a chess coach. Because if you haven't heard of him yet, that's probably why you're struggling to improve.
Go on his YouTube channel and check out his Speedrun playlists. He goes from 200 to over 2000 elo and explains his moves and thought process.
It really is gaining valuable insight into the mind of a GM, completely free of charge.

When I play the Sicilian, I sometimes come against this opening, and I have never really looked at it. I sometimes lose against this opening and I don't know how to fight against it. Any tips?
