Can I please have some tips on getting better

Try to play 10' games

The solution for most people under 1600 is to drill more tactics, and learn some rook and king+pawn endgames.

You hang a lot of pieces in every game because when your pieces are threatened, you make unsound counterthreats.

When one of your pieces is attacked, instead of counterattacking, either trade pieces or retreat. That will help you to avoid hanging pieces.

Play VS me, you'll get free ELO points.

Always check your intended move is no blunder before you play it.
This little mental discipline alone is enough to get you to 1500.
As long as you hang pieces and pawns all the rest is in vain.

Subscribe this youtube channel. It is very useful for beginners. I have also learned a lot

Youtube Channel Name = The Chess Culture

Play more games and do not play on autopilot.

I just looked over your most recent game. You hang pieces all over the place! You overlook obvious one-move threats and lose pieces. Take your time! Ask yourself if you have left anything open to capture and then take steps to avoid that. After that, practice tactics every day. And after that, learn a few opening principles. For example, after 1. d4 d5, 2, e3 is not the usual start. 2. c4, the Queen's Gambit, is more practical.

Thanks!!!

Hello,

I am a certified, full-time chess coach, so I hope I can help you. Everybody is different, so that's why there isn't only one general way to learn. First of all, you have to discover your biggest weaknesses in the game and start working on them. The most effective way for that is analysing your own games. Of course, if you are a beginner, you can't do it efficiently because you don't know too much about the game yet. There is a built-in engine on chess.com which can show you if a move is good or bad but the only problem that it can't explain you the plans, ideas behind the moves, so you won't know why is it so good or bad.

You can learn from books or Youtube channels as well, and maybe you can find a lot of useful information there but these sources are mostly general things and not personalized at all. That's why you need a good coach sooner or later if you really want to be better at chess. A good coach can help you with identifying your biggest weaknesses and explain everything, so you can leave your mistakes behind you. Of course, you won't apply everything immediately, this is a learning process (like learning languages), but if you are persistent and enthusiastic, you will achieve your goals.

In my opinion, chess has 4 main territories (openings, strategies, tactics/combinations and endgames). If you want to improve efficiently, you should improve all of these skills almost at the same time. That's what my training program is based on. My students really like it because the lessons are not boring (because we talk about more than one areas within one lesson) and they feel the improvement on the longer run. Of course, there are always ups and downs but this is completely normal in everyone's career.

I hope this is helpful for you.   Good luck for your chess games!
