I will check this out. Is it COMPLETELY free?
Maybe you just need to play the simplest opening you can think of in that particular day.

I've experienced the same problem when playing my first 100-200 games on elo below 600, realizing I won't get better by just playing.
The lessons on chess.com turned out to be a breakthrough, I improved straight away. Do the lessons, watch youtube chess videos, practice with the puzzles and I'm sure you'll get better, good luck.
I am trying to do chess puzzles every day and started doing chess.com’s lessons only to find out you need a membership. I play the French and Pirc and the Italian. I do know the Scandinavian, but i don’t play it. Any openings i can try?
@UncleTom92 , you have diamond. Know wonder you can improve so fast.
Know of any chess teachers that might help me?

"I have a rating of about 500 and my highest rating was 599."
++ A rating of 500 is a sign of frequent blunders.
Always check your intended move is no blunder before you play it.
Hang no pieces, hang no pawns and you are 1500 overnight.

@Waterstone33 , like I said, plenty of knowledge on youtube as well if you can't afford to buy a membership to access the lessons.
Send me an inv, we can play some games and we can discuss them, I'm an average player but will be happy to give you some tips.
You can improve without spending money. I’ve never spent a cent on chess and I’ve progressed from 200 to 1500 in a little over a year.
Youtube is a very big player in learning chess for free. There are tons of good chess creators and good content out there. I’d recommend John Bartholomew and Chessbrah’s “building chess habits”
Gothamchess’s “how to get over 1000 elo” is also good.
Any free programs that i can use to get better? Anyone want to gift me a membership? Any teachers that can teach me?
I created a club to play and improve at chess. A 400 with lots of intentions could make a good club.

If you can´t spend money but have a stable internet connection have a closer look to youtube! There is plenty of material there to learn (especially about openings.)
Learn some important games by heart. In your rating I think the very old games from Steinitz or Morphy are good.
they are also available in the internet for free.
And please tell us in what you are 500..... because in daily you are 1000..... and bullet, ok, let´s say you will learn really nothing out of bullet. Play more longer time controls, that will give you more time to think.
I'm going through NM Robert Ramirez series on youtube.
He has a playlist of about 150 teaching videos which takes you from absolute zero to master level stuff. Feels like being taught by my own personal coach. Free.
You say you play Pirc? Me too. It seems to be his preferred opening for black. He has several videos on that alone.

I am getting checkmated in daily and i didn't steal any account.
