Need help. Got crushed.

I need help, y'all. I got absolutely crushed in this game. Oxanaoxana86 vs Pearl1312 - https://www.chess.com/live/game/95617883171

You're down a bishop on move 7. I'm not sure if your opening moves were deliberate aggression or accidental blunders, but regardless I'd recommend against playing so aggressively. Develop solidly and make sure all your pieces and pawns are defended.

Beyond that, in tactical situations you want to stay calm. Try to focus on what moves your opponent can make and how to protect your pieces. White took three pieces in a row from moves 18-20. I suspect you were tilted - certainly I've been tilted before - which is why it's important to keep your cool and stay focused on one move at a time.

And don't trade queens when you're down 8 points of material.

just dont play like that

Look, if you're not going to actually be helpful, then just don't say anything at all. Seriously, this kind of reply is just plain irritating.

I'm pretty sure you tried to play the Italian with black, it's usually played with white and the knight that attacked your pawn was the opposite one, try learning some defensive openings and make sure all your pawns are secure and defended. Usually, a bishop sacrifice on the f2 or f7 square is so the queen can fork pieces, without that there isn't really a reason to play it, unless there is something else stratigical. (Said by a person with a lower elo than yours lol)

Might be irritating but seems pretty obvious your mistakes. Hanging pawns, pieces, moving same piece twice before fully developed. Pretty basic stuff. Don't know what you're looking for here...

I do not want this to come off as condescending, and there is a major risk of that communicating through text-based messages like the threads here on chess.com -- but, I will say, just about the hardest thing about chess is that your opponents rarely cooperate with what you want to do!

Learning how to play chess well means learning how to adapt to your opponent, shift plans, force *them* to change *their* plans, and to make the best moves that are available in any situation.

Having a preconceived "plan" for what you want to do will almost never work -- at most levels -- because your opponent is unlikely to cooperate. This is what makes study of chess openings so difficult for beginners!!

Focus on principles, developing your pieces, playing solid opening moves, not hanging material, etc. This will pay off over time.

Or, the TL;DR version of this post: "any plan rarely survives first contact with the enemy completely intact"

The best way, instead of just asking for advice, is delving down into your game yourself and discovering why and where you went wrong. Sure, it takes some work but you will learn volumes. More than any trite, generic responses from the message boards.

FR. that's what I have done and have gained 570 elo in 5 1/2 months. You're gonna have to work hard, do your puzzles every day, play a lot, go to a local club, watch gothamchess and remote chess academy, and most importantly, take breaks. Play a lot of rapids between 10 and 120 minutes, break down your moves, and prepare for what your opponent might be plotting next. If you really need more help, my favorite websites include chessable, chessly, and aimchess. Also, how are you 1000 and playing like that? Was that default elo or sum?

This is pretty basic stuff. Some opening principles include:

Don't bring your queen out early.

Don't always trade. Look for the strengths and weaknesses of certain pieces.

Develop quickly and castle early.

Look for checks.

Use your tactics. There are a number of sites that show how to use them, and it is critical that you know how to do this stuff.

Get an opening book. Trust me, this is step one to get better. Judging by your game, that was a pretty sloppy opening, which is mostly why you were down so much.

Don't trade when down 8 points of material.

Hope this was helpful.
