Advice for the worst chess player who ever lived that I’m not seeing?

Can’t get above 100 Elo, main account is YAKOINK

Rather than making fun of my intelligence, please look at my last 2 games and explain how im

supposed to predict the future so far in advance? For example on move 11 and 12 in my last game with micmac, the analysis tells me to move my knight up to somewhere it doesn't have any benefit, then move 12, I’m supposed to know to sacrifice my other knight? How am i supposed know these are good moves? I’m sorry but i truly don’t understand how they are good moves. Then it wants me to sacrifice my rook on move 14? How are beginner players able to consistently see so far ahead so correctly? 

am i overthinking? I need some legit advice to get out of 100 elo. I’m aware of what a fork is and how the checkmate works and all the pieces move, and i can see 2-3 moves ahead, but how do i predict the future? Why does move 10 want me to sacrifice my pawn? Why does move 8 want me to sacrifice my bishop?! ALL of these moves are of no benefit to me! 🫤🫶 i feel so stupid. Please just give me real beginner advice that I’m not seeing. Like super basic stuff. This is making me feel soooooooooo unintelligent. 

Main account is YAKOINK. Yes it’s my first week ever playing chess online. I played with my mom when i was a kid but i guess that got me nowhere.

I’m sure the “seeing 2-3 moves ahead” is not true for you, as you’re blundering one movers in the game you referenced. A lot of what you asked is because you aren’t understanding what the positions are telling you. And that’s okay, the more you learn the more you can understand positions better.

You need to step back and decide how you want to learn chess. My suggestion is review and practice opening principles regularly. This means safe and rapid development towards the center. As you get better you understand how to manipulate and bend these principles in specific situations but for you, just work on following them religiously so you will often if not always get playable middle games and not down any material.

Play longer games and not speed chess so you can learn to think and understand positions and apply the knowledge you are acquiring better. I’d recommend visiting ChessAble for some of the free courses on tactics, endgames, and calculation initially.

You can challenge me to unrated daily games (with takebacks if you want) and we can work on your chess more specifically.

Why can't you see them? If you can't see them how do you know they is the worst player who ever lived?

How are beginner players able to consistently see so far ahead so correctly? 

They're not - it's normal for people to start off seeing only one move ahead - being able to consistently see so far ahead is what makes players better.

You say "analysis tells me to move my knight up to somewhere it doesn't have any benefit" - instead of assuming there's no benefit, dig deeper - play it out in the Analysis tab instead of Game Review and try to understand the reason for the move.

Analyze the puzzles you do, too - if you get one wrong, keep going over it - not just until you get it right, but until you understand why - and when you make a lucky guess that happens to be right, play that over again in the analysis until you understand why that move was best.

And don't stress or beat yourself up about not understanding even when you analyze them - it's all part of the process of learning to see in chess.

The game you played against micmac had a great opening, and your opponent played well, so I think we can exclude that game.

One tip-stop using computer analysis to improve your game. No offense, but computer analysis will not help you in any way at your rating. Use your own thoughts in order to figure out what to play after a game ends. As said by other people before me, figuring out something yourself will get it stuck in your mind for much longer than if you simply are told the answer.

Let's look at another one of your games, against kamikadze.

A lack of good analysis - Do not use computer analysis to figure out moves you could have found. Ask others.

Long movers - You find most one movers, but moves that are all the way across the board seem to be your weakness. Focus on the entire board.

Never Resign! - Self explanatory. Many players do not know basic mates.

Advanced Tip - Look one move ahead at all times. This will become an instinct after a while, but look at what you think your opponent will play. Flipping the board can help with this.

Advanced Tip - Practice! Pretty simple.

Also, play on one account instead of two. It's much easier to catalogue your progress like that.

Hope this helped!

This is your last lost game. You missed catching your opponent's trapped queen with 7. Nf7. You blundered away your g4 knight, letting it hang for 4 moves before your opponent noticed and took it.

Then, starting on move 24, you blundered a queen, a knight, a rook and a bishop, a complete collection in 4 moves.

All you need to do is look ahead 1 move.

The biggest reason people struggle in lower-level chess is because of blunders. They make them in almost every game.

A mistake can instantly put you in a bad position, no matter how well you played earlier: if you had great opening knowledge, great positional skills, great endgame skills, whatever; a single mistake can change everything (you lose a piece or get checkmated).

So, how do you avoid blunders? Follow this simple algorithm:

While avoiding blunders is crucial, I also share a few basic principles with my students. These principles help them figure out what to do in each part of the game - the opening, the middlegame, and the endgame. Understanding these simple principles is like having a map for your moves. I provide my students with more advanced algorithms that incorporate these fundamental principles. When you use this knowledge along with being careful about blunders, you're not just getting better at defending. You're also learning a well-rounded approach to chess. Keep in mind, chess is not just about not making mistakes; it's about making smart and planned moves to outsmart your opponent.
