1. Learn how to post games.
2. You learn more from looking at games you lost.

 

/ I tried to post it but something isn't working.

 

Ty for posting the game and sry I’m new to this stuff so yh

 

I just beat 1800 Andrea bot for the first time, so I am low-key over the moon. Also I checked out your game and with the first few moves you were attacking the centre, but after that it seemed very chaotic from both of you (hanging pieces, random moves etc.)

There are some basic things you can do such as:

1) Go through all of this slowly and try to understand how it all works (if you already know how a rook moves, of course skip it, but tactics are crucial to learn) - https://lichess.org/learn#/

2) Take your time and be very careful when playing (will the piece be hanging/unprotected if you move it there, does the opponent has some threats (mates or one move tactics), do you have some threats etc.)

3) You can go through the beginner level here https://www.chess.com/article/view/study-plan-directory and if you take your time and properly digest all of the basic principles (attacking the center, good squares for the pieces etc.) you should improve.

4) This also is a great and free resource - https://lichess.org/practice

I've been playing for a year, and lately some things that really have helped me are:

1) Doing tactics and puzzles regularly

2) Really taking my time and thinking stuff through, having a few alternative (candidate) moves and then deciding which is the best in the long run

3) Understanding that each position is unique, as is each move, therefore each position requires a fresh look. Not always falling in love with the initial idea is great, because your opponent might make a mistake and you could make an even better move (i've had a situation where I have a mate in one, but I decide to capture a hanging rook).

4) Playing long games (rapid 30 mins), where I have time to slowly go through all of the possibilities for each move (just as it would be irl)

One recommendation is to develop your pieces more. For example, when you pulled the knight out to f6, it would be wise to leave it there, since you have decent placement of it there, and bring more pieces out. If you advance too aggressively with only one or two pieces, they are likely to get overrun and overwhelmed easily. Try to develop a bit more of a solid control of the middle, and then advance your pieces further.

Additionally, there were some opportunities where your pieces were under threat and you retreated them to safety. Keep in mind this is not always necessary, nor the best move. Sometimes it's better to set up your piece for an adequate trade, or look to threaten one of your opponent's more valuable pieces to take their attention off of your threatened piece.
