Hi! I'm glad you want to get better in chess!

 My name is Lauren Goodkind and I'm a well established chess teacher based in California! I love helping beginners out, so I have some ideas for you to get better.

 

  1. Attend my FREE online workshop every Wednesday at 11:30pm Central time. You can ask me questions in real time! I’ll be happy to analyze your chess games, teach you opening traps, endgame techniqes, and more! Here’s more details:

2. Also consider all checks and captures on your side and also your opponent’s side. Always as, “If I move here, where is my opponent going to move?”. Do this for every single move! Your goal is to never make any silly blunders!

I am having a bit of trouble climbing and I am not sure what I am doing wrong. I know I am missing a few things but it would be helpful if I could get some tips from a higher level player?

yeah quit chess its not worth it

It is not helpful to ask to give up chess, beginners on low ELO are always learning. Chess helps improve cognitive functions, if they were to quit, they may not be able to find a way to improve it. Please make decisions next time.

I tried this out and I really liked how easy it was for me to understand tactics that I kept missing before and now I'm doing pretty well in terms of rating increases! Come try it out with me! You won't regret it!
