Hey guys, I am a 300 player. I won't call my self a beginner cuz I have been playing chess for 2 years but taken a lot of breaks in between. I know how the prices move and what are the basic openings like caro kann, London, or Italian. But I keep losing my games. And it is now this point that I am scared to lose further elo and that's why I like playing on lichess rather than chess com cuz I don't want to lose my elo here. But can anyone check my last few games and hopefully give me an advice and training routine that I can follow in chess and improve my self. I am 14 by the way

Maybe stop playing bullet, play rapid games and do your best to take your time during your games. Maybe watch some yt vids for help or find a club in real life because playing against people over the board is always better.

My advice (as a chess coach and 2100+ player):

Learn and apply the most important principles of chess.
Always blunder-check your moves.
Solve tactics in the right way.
Analyze your games.
Study games of strong players.
Learn how to be more psychologically resilient.
Work on your time management skills.
Get a coach if you can.

Forget about your elo. Go into your settings and disable view elos in games of you and your opponents - this helped me.

300 is a good starting point, but you don't have much to lose. You need to accept that you will go up and down. A player who doesn't risk losing his rating never improves his rating.

Another thing that helped me forget about elo is just spamming games to get through divisions. The way I look at it is, I am new I will have ups and downs, I want to progress through the divisions quickly. If my elo takes a hit, I know that I will earn it back and more in the future.

Bonjour j'ai exactement le même problème que Mandeep10kumar apart que je suis un tout petit peu plus au classe. Je fais tout pour progresser mais je n'y arrive pas, j'ai cherché un club d'échec autour d'où j'habite et je ne trouve pas. Comment faire pour trouver un entraîneur ?? Et moi aussi j'ai 14 ans

Play games and Learn. Your first goal will be 900 rated. It can take 30 days for you. Good luck budy!

Going from 300 to 900 in 30 days is not a reasonable goal.

Never play the englund and try the london. It might be hated, but for good, cuz it is a good opening. Also, improve your italian game and watch gotham chess.

If you don t watch gotham chess, tonight i m gonna be under your bed ;)

Yup, london is overhated in my opinion

Try to put Elo in the back of your mind and just play. Starting from 300, you will progress. Definitely agree you should play rapid, not bullet. Give yourself time to think and you’ll learn faster.
