Do u need coaching?

HOw you gonna teach me bro

Ask questions

I will answer

Um, your rate is so low… coaching might be good when you are 2000 rate…

I would love to learn better endgame strategies.  I do well through the first half of a game, then get destroyed.  How do they do it.  I've played players with a rating below 1000 who do not make mistakes and play a perfect game at the end after stumbling around the board in the first half.

 

KDAfanAKILI you probably don't know even the rules based on your rating. SmittyAz players under 1000 definitely make errors probably in every game, maybe you just don't see them.

Why don't they show up under analysis?

 

I have played a few more games and a couple of players end game is the best I've seen.  

Even people in 1600 rate make blunders (but it is mostly a complex position), how is it possible for those below 1000 rate don’t make blunders? 

SmittyAz,

Your last game you were checkmated in endgame with bishop and rook due to weak dark squares around your king and your pieces in disarray. Prior to the checkmate you put your rook en prise and your opponent missed he could take it. Both sides made mistakes, you just made worse ones.

When you are in Endgame a piece up look to trade pieces not pawns. Harass your opponents position with your piece superiority and generate all pieces to active useful positions on the board and try to force concessions or trades from him. Your king should have never been in such danger, you need to be aware when your king may become in danger and ensure it has sufficient defense or escape squares. It’s ok to lose such a game if you review and see your mistakes and work to not repeat them. Now you have some general ideas to look out for in future endgames. Good luck!

I am interested in getting better. Would love it if you could help.

Hey RMBill,

Looks like you may be stronger than the OP, so perhaps you can coach him! :)

I can’t get above 1100 on rapid for the life of me. Not sure why.

Sure, this can happen from time to time. What is your study program like? Do you have one? 

I do puzzles daily. Analyze most of my games. Watch some YouTube videos. I think I need to Improve my endgame the most.

Hi,

Let’s say you have 1 hour for chess a day. One way is to have some daily chess activities you always do, and other chess activities you cycle through. I’ll give an example below. 

Day 1:  Solve 10 puzzles, reviewing any missed puzzles. Play a 10minute rapid game, analyze it and record mistakes and missed opportunities. Read through a chess book you’re presently reading (appropriately you may read a book focusing on a particular topic or phase of the game- like an Endgane book, Opening book, or book about attacking or something) for remaining time.

Day 2: Solve 10 puzzles, reviewing any missed puzzles. Play a 10minute rapid game, analyze it and record mistakes and missed opportunities. Review Master games in a database or online like chessgames.com (if applicable from openings you play) for the remaining time.

Day 3: Solve 10 puzzles, reviewing any missed puzzles. Play a 10minute rapid game, analyze it and record mistakes and missed opportunities. Work on a ChessAble course in either opening or endgame for remaining time. 

Day 4: Solve 10 puzzles, reviewing any missed puzzles. Play a 10minute rapid game, analyze it and record mistakes and missed opportunities. Solve more puzzles, reviewing each missed one, for the remaining time. 

Day 5: Solve 10 puzzles, reviewing any missed puzzles. Play a long-time control game of at least 25 minutes per side. Analyze the game and record mistakes and missed opportunities. Solve puzzles with any remaining time. 

Day 6: Solve 10 puzzles, reviewing any missed puzzles. Play a 10minute rapid game, analyze it and record mistakes and missed opportunities.  Read a book or work on an Endgame ChessAble course. 

Day 7: Solve 10 puzzles, reviewing any missed puzzles. Play a long-time control game of at least 25 minutes per side. Analyze the game and record mistakes and missed opportunities. Solve puzzles with any remaining time. 
 
The above of course is generalized and should be adjusted to the player with consideration of their strength and weaknesses, schedule, resources, and improvement, but organizing your studies and time helps maintain consistency and good habits for your chess growth.

Thank you. I will give it a shot!
