Another beginner stuck

I think you have a slight problem with numbers. I am not 1200 and chessbrah is a grandmaster (two grandmasters, actually). Whatever. Making random pawn moves is bad, anyone can tell you that.

Yes I think he was joking, chessbrah I mean

I was just assuming, I have actually not watched his videos, and I heard those two liked to make jokes and were fun to watch. So I assumed it was a joke, apologies 

Bro Chessbrah was obviously freaking joking if he said make a random pawn move if you dont know what to do. That is terrible advice, sometimes making a wrong pawn move can lose you the game, just try to improve your pieces if you dont know what to do, meaning, get your bishop on a better diagnol, or put your knight on a better square. Im not a master or anything but i got to 1300 after not knowing how the pieces moved 4 months ago. 

The title implies you were stabbed.

Relative beginner here (I played a lot in high school - though not 'formally' - and stopped playing until just recently 35 years later).  Lots of concrete advice here, and analysis of one of your games.  Here's my experience.

1. 10 minute games are not your friend.  My experience was one of frustration at myself for making dumb mistakes, or running out of time.  When you're frustrated at yourself, you tend to do worse, thus becoming more frustrated.  Plus, it's quick enough that you can caught in the 'Just one more...' rather than analyzing your games or doing other kinds of productive studying.

2. Puzzles (you're doing those, so good)

3. Daily chess.  I've started doing these, and they've really helped me.  And don't get caught in the trap of 'play a move, see your opponent's played 10 - 15 minutes later, so quickly scan the position and think about it for 5-10 minutes before making your move'. It's daily chess.  Take your time.  Preferably set up the position in the analysis board (without computer analysis turned on) and run through alternative lines that seem reasonable to you.  And really THINK about what will happen if you make such and such a move.  Use books or the internet as resources for your openings.  If your opponent makes a move while still in the 'opening', by all means scour online and in books for possible responses and their strengths and weaknesses. Again, no computer help.  But using books and theory discussions is perfectly fine.  Some people disagree, but the daily games mimic correspondence games which were done by e-mail (or snail mail) and the point wasn't rapid play, it was to take your time and study during the game.  

4. Get yourself a real chess board and step away from the computer.  Or at least use it as your 'analysis board'.  Most evenings I pull up a couple of my daily games, set them up, and then turn off my phone - unless they're in the 'opening' phase and I need to do a bit of studying.  I also use my phone for a number of the books I have on kindle, but make the moves on the chess board.  For me, it's calming and lets my mind work more slowly and thoroughly.  When using sources like books or online, don't just do the 'main moves'.  If they show other lines, play each of those out.  It's easy to just skim them and see 'Oh, this exchange is bad because it leads to a fork' and move on to the next actual move.  But unless you SEE it on the board (virtual or real), it doesn't help you one bit to recognize it in the future (unless you can see positions in your head easily - I can't).

You guys who are making fun of Chessbrah, 1. W/o watching should please refrain. He outlines steps to get from 400 -2000. And one of the things is when you are new and this thread is somebody who is new (stuck at 1000) and you have no tactical move because you don’t see one is to move a pawn. You need to watch it and understand before you jump down my throat because I am saying one small piece of advice from somebody who would whip us all even if he did random pawn moves. So please slow your rolls

Sort of...

In some positions neither side can make meaningful progress. In such positions a sign of experience and maturity is the ability to do nothing... the stronger the player, the longer they can tolerate doing nothing... and it's why kids and low rated players lose such positions easily (because they always try to "do something" so they destroy their own position).

But sure, this type of situation is relatively rare, and most of the time you shouldn't waste moves.

I don't think "when in doubt move a pawn" is good advice for lower rated players, but in defense of that idea, there's an old quote, IIRC from Korchnoi, that the sign of a strained strategist is he starts making pawn moves (the implication being that the pawn moves are bad).

In other words, when you don't know what to do, you'll start moving pawns whether that's your typical strategy or not. Pawn moves change the character of the position so it makes sense... and it's probably better than retreating or starting long maneuvers (that you wont have time for).

So again, I wouldn't personally give that advice, but I don't think it's as senseless as it seems.

I guess some GMs are capable of giving terrible advise. I think its best to stick to guys like Eric Rosen, Gotham Chess, and Daniel Naroditsky for beginner and intermediates

You have probably nvr watched his series but I get it you have your option and tbh his teaching is very basic and great for the new player

Ive watched Amans series, it seemed cool, but advise like "making a random pawn move" doesnt make any sense at all
