I s'ppose you mean Blackburne. And I hope so. I sincerely hope you did not mean what you wrote. Cos in French, it'd be slang for ... Well, I don't dare write it. Something gross and innapropriate.
The Blackburne-Schilling Gambit is gross and inappropriate.
I would not know, but "burne" in French...
Ouch.
Probably the best advice before giving up is take two weeks off first. Don't play at all. No reading about chess, no playing chess, no talking about chess. After 2 weeks of completely avoiding all things chess related, then give up.
If you're feeling burnt out and losing motivation already, it is best to take a break. No amount of tips are gonna help if you're not motivated.
I do hope you find that motivation again and come back, and when you do, here's two chess tips, one for attacking and one for defending.
attacking: If you can refute your own threat if the board is flipped, then don't play it. Chances are, if they're on your level, they can see it too. Don't count on hope chess. (Hoping they wont see it)
Defending: No matter the level, your opponent is trying to destroy you. Assume every move they make has a thought process behind it, bad or good, they want something out of it. Always ask yourself.. why did they play that?

I'm quite surprised that so many of the people who are giving advice here are rated below 1800
If you're below 1800, then aren't you still a beginner as well?
You can still give good advice even if your a beginner, and above 1200 is also often classed as intermediate
At least for juniors
The advice I want to give you is unorthodox, but I think it could help you improve. I think it will help you in more ways than one.
My recommendation is for you to annotate 1 of your losing games & for fun annotate 1 of your winning games.
Was there game you lost where you felt like the victory slipped from your finger tips?
Was there a game you won where you was very proud you got the win?
Now if your not familiar with the term Annotate I can explain what Annotate means.
Basically, What it means is going over a game and explaining your thought process on why you played a move. Their are thousands of moves you can play in chess.
Why did you play the moves you decided to play?
Did you think the move was good?
Did someone tell you the move was good?
Did you play the move because you was feeling time pressure?
What you say can be the key factor which is holding you back from being 1500
Here’s my advice to you: shut up
Nice chatting with you! Not quite a preschooler, almost there, but I'll go with it if it'll make you feel better. And thanks for your good wishes! I am awed and very thankful that a 2300 level player would condescend to lower himself to a 400 level player to give advice and help. Thanks for you support! Bye!
Ima follow you just for that excellent defence against a bully, 👏. If people like them were always rebuffed by people like you then the world would be a much better place
Yes. If you are planning on giving up, then it might be because your motivations are in the wrong place and so you've essentially set yourself up for failure before you've even begun your chess journey. This is an older blog post of mine, but one which is extremely important for chess even though very little of it is actually about chess itself:

If you really like playing chess, it doesn't matter how good you are at it. My chess club is full of people who really can't play worth a hoot.
Honestly I appreciate all the advice, the people telling me to just quit, and even the arguments that somehow arose. I think my main takeaway is playing bots is probably beneficial for me (since I get bored with big time controls) and to think more about what my moves will make my opponents do to react. Just a few corrections to make, when I said practicing openings I mean't practicing the way I open games, not literally learning named openings. My bad on the terminology. Also some people asked how I analyze games and the game review tool on spots where I mess up. The main thing I struggle with is knowing what to do when there aren't any direct attacks. I watch higher elo players move pawns, or move backrank pieces in those scenarios, but the depth is way beyond my comprehension.
.... The main thing I struggle with is knowing what to do when there aren't any direct attacks. I watch higher elo players move pawns, or move back rank pieces in those scenarios, but the depth is way beyond my comprehension.
They aren't just moving pawns or shuffling around their back rank pieces. Pawns are not moved without some purpose, either to stop an opponent's piece from using a square or in preparation of some other attack or pawnstorm. Piece reorganization is also to be done to some purpose. Even in a 0.00 position, the lamest pieces can be scooted to a better square in anticipation of some other possibility, or a rook can be put behind a pawn that needs to be shoved forward... This is why I think the lack of annotations to games on computer doesn't really help players improve much. Older books where the thought processes of the players is explained can be much more helpful than long strings of analysis.
