help me im sucking

Nobody has any obligations to help the suckers.They gotta find their place in the big bad world of chess and be happy with the results, whatever it may be.Even if an expert coach trains you,still it depends on your aptitude for the game.You can take the horse to the pond but cannot make it drink.

1. Develop your pieces towards the center. Get all your minor pieces into the center ASAP (knights and bishops).

2. Not too many pawn moves- try to stick to moving just d and e pawns to let your bishops out.  Your pawn structure becomes weak if you put too many cracks in it- think of your line of pawns as a rope or piece of string for example.  Pawns are toughest when they are working together.

3. Castle early - it keeps your king safe and keeps your opponent from being able to take initiative by making checks against you.

4. Dont always rush to take pieces.  If your bishop is facing an enemies bishop and both of your bishops are protected by knights for example.  If you take his bishop he is recapturing with his knight towards the center- you have just spent a turn to help him develop a piece.  Let him take your bishop so you get the benefit of that piece development.  Think of chess not just as exchanges of material, but also time and initiative as well.

5.  Dont always look for ways to take material-  sometimes there are more effective moves. A couple games back I noticed that by pushing a pawn one square forward and blocking my opponents pawn, that it blocked his bishop from leaving and thus kept his rook from being able to move as well.  For a simple pawn move I got to play most of the game up an entire rook and bishop and won easily.  Sometimes blocking a pawn can be more effective than capturing a queen if it keeps your opponent from developing.

6.  Dont move your queen out early in the game- it just gives your opponent a target to aim for and they are going to harass her, helping them to develop their pieces while you are wasting turns getting her out of harm's way.  Try not to move your queen until you have already moved both your bishops and both knights at the minimum.  

7.  Before you move scan the square and ask "how will my opponent respond- what pieces do they have that attack that square?    

Chess is TOUGH! at first I thought I should be natural at it because I'm an electrical engineer and pretty easily grasp mathematics, algorithms, am good at drawing three dimensional objects, CAD, spacial/visualization skills, etc...   I came into chess a few months ago thinking I could be an epic player in short order due to my other talents & skills.

It was a slap in the face and I've had some epic battles against other low rated players like myself.  Something that is fun is to once in a while go to the open challenges and play against much higher rated opponents- I have so far beat a 2300, two 1800s and five or six players around 15-1600.  A funny thing is I didn't feel like their play was otherworldly or anything-  sometimes it was more logical the way they moved, but in the endgame is where they are much more skilled.  

Playing low rated players it can be tough because they will throw completely random stuff at you and catch you off guard.  Sometimes I am trying to practice moves I watched on a video on the sicillian or English opening for example, and against an 1800 they almost oblige and play along with the theory like the lecture I watched on youtube.  The game develops as you would expect.  Try playing that same opening against an 850 player and they will start ramming all their pawns forward and it just ends up being chaos on the board.  Sometimes I think it's easy to get stuck in these lower levels because of the chaotic nature of the play.

I'm trying to work on being a more consistent player and sticking to principled play, but it can be easy to go on tilt and lose 10 games in a row here against lower rated players when you get frustrated.  

Keep on keeping on!

Try to solve as many tactics as you can,with a focus on accuracy rather than speed,you will start seeing the results.Your blunder rate will decrease significantly and your rating will increase automatically.During a game take your time before making a move to check for all tactical motifs,Keep doing this you will keep on improving.

its simple, stop drinking energy drinks, and if your losing your queen every game it means your trying to cheese with her, if your gunna use the queen early don't hesitate to bring it right back to the starting rank when pressured, or you might get trapped.

thx guys

Just quit and find something fun to do...😊😊😊

I'm 2300 here on chess.com. Here are some of my thoughts on how to improve.

TIP #1: Opening Repertoire

Learn solid openings. My favorites are the Ruy Lopez and Kann Sicilian. With e4, you'll also need to be prepared for the Scandinavian, Sicilian, French, Caro-Kann, Owens, Modern, Pirc, Alekhine, and Nimzovich Defenses *phew!* So having a strong opening repertoire is necessary. Being able to churn out 20 moves of theory in 10 seconds will give you an advantage, especially in Blitz.

TIP #2: Strategy 

Develop your pieces! Many players break too quickly in the center before developing all of their pieces. It may seem slow but the strong players do what every beginner is told to do:

1. Build a pawn center
2. Place the minor pieces on good squares
3. Get the king to safety
4. Connect the rooks by moving the queen
5. Place the rooks on open or semi-open files.

Of course these are just guidelines. If you have the ability to obtain some advantage, do not hesitate to take it even if it may violate some principle you've been told.

TIP #3: Middlegame/Endgame Basics:

Avoid trades if you want to win! If you trade stuff off, you are potentially going into a drawn endgame. When an opponent offers a trade, consider the quality of your and your opponents pieces after the trade. Evaluate using Silman's Imbalance Method.

TIP #4: Tactics/ Combinations

Do tactics! I consider tactical mastery 3000 tactics. Chess is largely a game of decisions, and it is important to be able to win winning positions. Indecision occurs when many ideas fancy the human mind. Evaluate the position using imbalances, it will lead you to the right moves. When an opponent places you in a pin, break it ASAP. Don't give your opponent ANY tactical resources.

A list of tactics: for example:
Fork
Skewer
Pin
Discovered attack
Deflection/Attraction/Decoy
Overloading

TIP #5: Tournaments / LONGER chess games
Go to rated tournaments! Getting real OTB experience goes a long way. Even though I haven't gone to many tournaments compared to other serious players, I learned so much about the way I think.

TIP #6: Candidate Move System
In every position, there is always some move that is considered "the best move". In the opening, there are more paths to deviate, but in the middle and endgame, a system of thinking is required in order to cut down your options to a list of strong moves. This will improve with time and experience.

STEP BY STEP Evaluation:
In some positions, not all of these steps are necessary, this is just comprehensive:

1) What is your opponent's threat?
2) Compare material
3) Compare the worth of each one of your pieces to the counterpart of your opponent's pieces. (i.e. in an Advanced French: White's LSB is better than Black's LSB).
4) Take stock of your opponent's weaknesses and plans. Base tactics and strategy off of these weaknesses.
5) Checks, Captures, Threats (CCT) are the most forcing moves as your opponent will have to react in some way. Calculation, visualization, tactics, will improve this way.
6) If there are no tactical shots, improve your pieces (especially maneuvers of knights) and pawn structure. Defend all of your weak points and prompt your opponent to make a weakness.

TIP #7: Master the endgame!

Unlike the other parts of the game, it is possible for humans to master the endgame. There are less pieces on the board and only a few concepts are needed to play it well:
King Activity, Space, Active rook, don't trade when up material, etc.

Other ideas:

Everyone has equal chances at the beginning of the game, regardless of rating. If both sides were to play perfectly, the game would be a draw.

The thing that separates amateurs and masters is the understanding of fundamentals. Learn to think deeply in positions (make your own threats, respond to your opponent's accordingly), understand why moves of GMs are played, surround and immerse yourself in high quality chess, and you will achieve great results. Hope you found this helpful!

thank you sir

just play fast to intimidate your opponent

Am i a kid too?

I was at first here......you followed me....am i a kid too?

Oh lol

The two reasons you are blundering a lot is because you have poor thinking process and poor tactical ability. You need to improve both of these aspects. If you are good at one of this aspect but bad on another, you will still blunder a lot.

Here are further explanations to give more clarity on these. Let say you know the tactic pin, and you spot a pin that win his queen, but doing so will allow him to back rank mate you. If you are not following the thinking process of before you make a move, check if there is a tactical drawback, you will be mated. Now if you have a good thinking process, but has poor tactical pattern recognition, you will still blunder and you will miss tactical opportunities by you and your opponent. If you follow the thinking process of always study your opponent's  last move, but you have a poor tactical pattern recognition there is a chance you will miss his threat because you won't see anything.

Improving Your Tactical Pattern

Since you are just a beginner, solve chess puzzles by theme. This is an efficient way at learning tactics. It is like teaching ABC to kids, they teach it using a theme(pattern). Example of themes are pin,fork,discovery, back rank mate etc. If you can't find the answer  after trying hard, solve again the puzzle the next day. Solve again the puzzles you have successfully solve before. You are doing these because it will build your tactical pattern knowledge/recognition.

Thinking Process To Lessen Blunders

Always study your opponent's last move

Always look at the whole board

Before you make a move, check if there is a tactical drawback.

Omg😹😹

Haha you are funny😹😹
