Go here in this blog called Chess Tips, Annotated Games, And Openings and check what you may be looking for and I’ll be updating this when I get the chance to. It may say unfinished, but that’s just a technical issue. Read this only for those people who know I am on ios I managed to make this because in a club I found a blog link and I clicked and I found the option to make a blog.

It's mostly about following key principles when playing. That approach helped me reach a 2000+ rating, and I teach others to do the same. You can learn them yourself as well. Here's an example of some chess principles: https://www.chess.com/article/view/principles-of-chess

dont resign as much- even in some higher levels, just because your opponent is winning doesn’t mean they will win- they can blunder too

Hi All,
I read that a 400 elo rating is a real beginners rating, but I’m playing 360 rated people who are running rings around me! Yes, if you review my games I often lose concentration and make the odd stupid mistake (that’s unfortunately how my brain works), but am I missing something? Some of these 360 odd players seem to be playing way too complex games if 400 is a beginner level. I’m just looking for a true definition so that I can stop beating myself up. Thanks.

The usual:
1. Playing only speed chess. You're not giving yourself time to think.
2. Moving too fast. You're leaving a lot of time on the clock in your losses.
3. Youre hanging material and missing simple tactics. Again, youre moving too fast.

In your last losing game, you hung your queen because you thought you had checkmate. You then traded your rook for the capturing knight. This only compounded your material deficit. Lopsided trades like that are never a good idea unless you have a specific idea in mind. It's rare to find a scenario in which it would work where I am at 600 other than a simple back rank mate.

You weren't intimidated by the early queen attack in your most recent game. This bodes well for you if you want to get to 500 or higher.
i wouldn't think to much about rating on this website, as the opportunity to force an opponent to play a line which the player started and is specialized in from white advantage allows greatly higher rating than is correct.
I am 800 in rapid and 1478 in fide. I guess this is a very humanly imaginable situation

Don't hang anything, look at all pieces, and waiting for opponent's blunders, almost 300-400 hang at least a piece in every game, if you reduce the amounts of your blunders to the minimum, you could get to 500-700 elo or even more
Для новичков кто не знает что это вообще за слова😃.Дебют это начало обычной партии.За каждый проделанный дебют даётся достижение в дебютах (Защита Алёхина,Ферзевой гамбит,Итальянская партия и т.д. Именно в дебюте нужно развивать все фигуры чтобы потом не получить сюрприз.Сами дебюты очень интересная штука ведь сразу после первого хода наступаю миллионы разных позиции)))). Переходим ко второй части партии шахмат Миттельшпиль.Это середина партии в которой все развитые фигры начинают борьбу.Там уже нужно непрерывно думать как поставить мат. Ну и наконец Эндшпиль.Это кноец партии и именно там остаётся совсем немножко фигур которые продолжают схватку пытаясь поставить мат врагу.Обычно как считают аналитики по шахматам именно в Эндшпиле происходит чаще всего конец игры а именно.Шах и мат😉.Спасибо кто дочитал до конца.Надеюсь я вам хорошо рассказал про Дебют,Миттельшпиль и Эндшпиль.Если есть какие то вопросы пишите на этот форум я вам помогу и всё расскажу в мельчайших подробностях (Наверное)
