I'm too stupid for this game, and wish I never paid for a membership. - Chess Forums - Page 3

I have 1200 in puzzles, it doesn't mean anything.

Doing chess puzzles is the equivalent to getting points for participating, but failing the homework, quizzes, and tests...who cares.

I'd make smarter decisions in life by just burning my money instead of spending it on a membership here (thankfully not that much money to burn since I'm too dumb to get a good job).

well i haven't played much chess, but in 11 games i havent won a single one so i feel you

First, i don`t look at all at the points and it is not my goal to become a 1500 to a 2000 member, within a few days.
I just come to play the game, making mistakes and learning day by day.
And i use a notepad, as i reminder, for some moves and openings what is helping me a lot.
i also follow some people on youtube, who explaining the game and the most mistakes beginners make.
Like MelvinGarvey also give as an advice, play 30 minutes game, i also play them, because 10 minutes is for my own feeling at this moment to fast.
I don`t feel ashamed for it to say this, many people play 30 minutes game.
I enjoy the 30 minutes games, and yes, i also lose games, but don`t keep playing game after game, take a break between games.
But start to accept that you can lose a game, analyze your game, use notepad to wright down the moves the computer advices you, take sometimes a peak at the notepad, when you have any doubt abouth your next move.
Step by step you automatic will start to remember them.

I play in the web browser, not the app. How can I delete the Internet?

Oh yeah, I didn't like my membership, I gotta tell everyone to convince them it's a waste of money while actually it's a great way to improve your chess abilities. If that improvement was not what you were aiming for in the first place then the problem is not that it's too costly for you, it's that you refused to put some work into it. That's what makes it a waste of money for you, and for a few others that have created similar threads. But you don't hear the others who do spend time and effort in it, telling everyone how amazing it is. We just hear you guys saying it's crap, while in all honesty it was simply your mistake to buy a membership because your mindset was all off. No need to share your sad story with us.

yep for sure. 00saad, you have an EXTREME fixed mindset then I thought. Everything you say is negative and you need to learn to handle feedback and etc. I make so many mistakes and the two games i played on this account I analyzed maybe three have accuracies only ranging from 10-50. Don't worry about it. Do your parents know about this?

Another issue I have is after developing minor pieces, castling, and connecting the rooks, it's like every square I see is defended pretty well — my opponent always has more defenders than I have attackers, so it's as if no matter what I do, I'm toast. My opponent has no holes, the defense is impregnable and it's my move...but all moves are bad. So it's like I'm going to lose no matter what as it'll end up going into an endgame where I'm ultimately at a material disadvantage.

An overly defensive player sees the opponents pawns/pieces as impregnable towers of strength.

An overly aggressive player sees them as speed bumps.

The people in the middle see them as challenges to be dealt with. Join the middle.

Try this: play the London queen side and king side, then the stonewall, then an open game against the lowest bot. Who cares if the bot wins or loses? Once you win all four openings against a bot, play a couple real people. Then move up from 500 bot to 600 bot and try it again.

OK, so you are'too much a moron for chess", your words. If you are still here hanging around, there is a reason. Do you play OTB? If not, give it up, online chess, why waste your time... If you live in a rual area and can't play OTB, there are better hobbies to try.

Get the kids book of chess and read it through. It has lots of good tips and techniques.
