Best tips

Whenever I start working with a new student who is stuck at a plateau, 9 times out of 10 they are playing 20 blitz games a day and doing zero deep analysis of their losses. Swap to playing just 2 rapid games a day, but spend 15 minutes analyzing each game on your own before checking the engine. Your rating will thank you.

develop minor pieces first, dont scholars mate especially to >500 elo

General tips, for when you consume any learning material, dedicating a notebook to chess and immediately writing down everything you learned can help a lot. Also, playing more rapid than blitz is better for chess improvement, so if you need to pick between shorter or longer time controls, pick the longer ones. For your rating range, fundamentals are very important, and tactics will probably be a huge percentage of your mistakes.

Hope this helped, if you still have any questions, feel free to message me!

If you want to improve, bullet is trash and will make you a worse chess player. Play at least one rapid game every day and use your time. Consistency is key to improvement. Review every game.

Do chess puzzles every day. I have been doing puzzles every day either here on chess.com or through books. In the early stages, doing simpler tactics consistently can be very beneficial in the long term.

Learn foundational chess principles.
This includes learning opening principles (how to play the opening without relying on memory). For this, you have to learn about development. Avoid excessive queen moves. Castle early. Develop your pieces. Control the center, mainly by establishing a pawn or 2 etc.

Then you want to learn about various pawn formations in the center. Pawn formations in the center dictate the nature of the game. For example: In closed central situations, play usually ensues on the wings.

Learn endgame principles and basic endgame theory.
This includes things like centralizing your king, etc.
Theory includes learning basic king and pawn endgames.

Play training games.
Play slow games every day. On a weekend, play the strongest opponent you can find. Note down your mistakes. Don't be afraid to lose. Many chess players stop progressing because they fear losing. It does not feel good in the moment, but over the long term, you will be so proud of yourself for showing up and doing the work.

Note the mistakes in your games. Note the openings played. Doing this will help diagnose your weaknesses.

I know many chess players say: "If I improve my calculation, I will be very strong." I thought this was true as well when I was a beginner. Actually, this is not necessarily true. Sometimes, you just need to reduce your blunder rate. Think about what your opponent will play next. That may actually improve your rating more than training calculation and visualization.

I have a complete roadmap to help you progress faster in chess. DM me if you are interested.

Always be a good sport.

Opponent first, then you. It's a good way to remind yourself to always consider your opponent's last move.
