Emotions (Revolving Chess)

I am confused yet remain angry at myself for being stuck at a wimpy milestone of 400 (no offense). But I feel like I should be 700-800 range with my intellectual ability. Stupid blunders hold me back, and I check if its safe, but I forget that one piece thats there, and I flunk. It is apart of the stupid beginner level being a blunder maker. Blundering your queen like a strawberry smoothie (haha get it?). I should play better and I know it.

it takes time to get better at chess, it doesn't happen immediately

if you just stick to being consistent with doing puzzles, playing games, studying materials, you'll find yourself with a good rating soon enough

Remember that chess skill =/= intelligence, and intelligence =/= chess skill. You can be illiterate and a chess genius, or one of the smartest astrophysicists in the world and a horrible player. Chess is a skill like any other game, not an IQ test.

Long-term chess improvement is slow, but if you put the work in and are patient: the results do eventually catch up to you

I don't think memory is the "largest role in playing good chess." Memory is way over-rated for chess. Yes, a good memory could help...but I wouldn't even put "memory" in my top 5 skills for playing good chess. 

I'm not sure what that list would be, but probably number one would be motivation to play and improve at chess and number two would be the ability to analyze from your games (and especially your losses) and to use this to fuel your improvement.

you have to study a lot, its not something that happens overnight.

It took me 9 years to get to where i am (I did start young)
