Help please


That is the good news. The bad news is that the problem will persist at least til 1300-ish. That’s my rating 😬.
One thing to keep in mind: your opponent has the same problem. Make sure you see their mistakes and punish them. Never resign, their mistakes will come.

Unfortunately John falled from grace here as i see, but his "climbing the rating ladder" videos are undeniably the best instructable on chess and they are also for free. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2huVf1l4UE&list=PLl9uuRYQ-6MCBnhtCk_bTZsD8GxeWP6BV

If you’d like to get some feedback just say the word & best wishes!

I keep making unnecessary mistakes, how do I position my pieces effectively?

Hi Andrie1,
You should give some time for you and practice a lot of tactics, do puzzles! It would be important for you to analyse your games and learn from your mistakes but you can't do it alone and even with an engine because the engine can tell you if a move was good or bad but it can't tell you why, what are the ideas, plans behind a move. You need a coach, who tells you what are your mistakes and how you can improve. I am an official chess coach and I help you with pleasure.
My name is Gabor Balazs. I am a Hungarian FM, fighting for the IM title. My top ELO is 2435. I have been playing chess for 21 years. I won the Hungarian Rapid Championship twice (U16 and U18).
I love teaching chess and it is very important for me that both of us enjoy the lessons beside the hard work. I have pupils almost all the levels from beginners to advanced players (1100-2200 ELO).
