Hi, well first of all I'm not that far from 1200s but I think I could give you some tips to improve your game...
1.- Playing standard games should help you to improve since you have more time to carefully think about next moves, and with practice you soon should be able to prevent most common blunders like let hanging pieces, etc.
2.- Use the tactics trainer and be aware of the different tactics that exist, for example pinning (which is the most common) be aware that are different types of pinning like diagonal pining, other tactics like skewer, deflection, desperado, etc. see what they are about and try to excersiste them so if you get them in a game you can do them that's something very useful.
3.- Try to see some openings, that should help you to improve, try different ones and see what works better for you.
That's all I can think of right now I hope it helps you somehow if I think on something else I'll edit the post.
Oh and other think I think could help you is not looking at your opponents rating, just do your best and try to think of the best move anytime..
Kind Regards!
Hi,
I just don’t know why I can’t maintain score more than 1200.. Most of the people above 1300 are amazing except rookies.. If I saw my opponent with above 1400 tats it half of my confidence is gone.. coz they are better, faster, smart n so..
Where would I need to concentrate On opening or Need to learn new strategies.. Kindly suggest.
