Hello,

As you see my ratings, you know I´m not good at all, in fact, I´m trash, also at chess.

Im currently 102 Elo minus in Bullet, between 10 - 30 in Blitz and Rapid because I barely play that.

I know I won´t get a full chess course as an answer and I dont want dumb answers, please just help me.

It is realy crazy how bad I am, even getting ez checkmated by much lower rated everytime.

For beginners I would recommend Levy Rozman's Beginner Course on Chessly if you want to spend the 60 euro - https://chessly.com/courses/940dcdc1-b49a-403f-8375-919d186d5dd4 . If you don't want to spend money then I recommend ether these youtube videos - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUTYH3v3HiQ , https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00Nfr_FfHwA made by the same creator. Spending money in chess is the easiest and fastest way to improve chess but if you don't want to spend then YouTube has a lot of great videos on beginner chess. (Recommend GothamChess for chess entertainment and learning about the game) Also do chess puzzles, analyze your games and do longer games to allow time to think more about moves. Chess is a hobby that takes a lot of time to improve and potentially money if you want to study advanced chess and openings in the future. chess.com has an awesome community who can help you with your chess like they did when I started out in chess. Hope this helps.

You want to improve?

For that reason, I've written this:

I've noticed that you've commented that you can't analyze your games as you are not a premium member. That is not correct. There are free alternatives out there, one option is described in the text I've linked, but there are other options as well.

Analyzing games doesn't mean clicking on analyze on chess.com.

That itself will not help you out. What you should do, at the very least at that level, is to figure out all the blunders that happened in the game, and to find at least a decent alternative. If you can do more than that, great. Higher rated people can find some ideas when they look through their games, but a little bit of chess knowledge is required in order to analyze your games better.

I've mentioned in the same text some free YouTube content that might help you out to build some basic chess knowledge (and a little bit beyond that).

And if you want to improve, bullet will not help you. Longer games will.

In any case, best of luck.

Whoa why did u even do that? Thanks a lot!

I was responsible for teaching the new players at my chess club. So I excel at this exact thing.
