I am cursed with the Black Pieces

I may sound repetitive by proclaiming how bad I am with the Black pieces but this is quite frustrating for me. When I went through my stats for the last 30 days I came to knew that I have a 56% win rate with White but an absurd 46% with black. Usually I try to respond with the King's Indian to d4 and Caro-Kann(Advanced Botvinnik Variation) to e4. In my last 2 games with the Black pieces (I lost both obviously) I saw that I was doing just fine till around the first 20 moves but due to the pressure of being low on time and lack of midgame tactics I ended up throwing away the game. All suggestions and criticisms are appreciated. Wishing everyone a nice day.

I guess it is to be expected that you will have a lower winrate with black. White has a slight advantage in the beginning afterall and gets to choose between e4, d4, c4 etc.

I've 70 % win rate with black but 63 % with white

@ryuioohh that might change when you play more games but it is a solid stat to be honest

Any tip on how you got 800 in blitz ? I always lose in blitz and bullet mostly because of timeout , I've recently started and I find rapid easier

@ryuioohh actually I have never played a single match of Blitz that is why it shows the default 800 ELO. I am trying to reach 1200 ELO in the next few months and then try to do something in Blitz

Slower time control, Maybe do a lot of puzzles, you are also a dissapointment to me because you are almost the same rapid as me, but you have an 800 puzzle rating, And I have 1700, which is more than twice your rating.

Pro tips when you plays but with black : dont blunder. Ok don forgor to give de 5 stars rate

@NEETHUDAS123 you joined chess.com 5 months earlier than me so it natural for you to have a higher puzzle rating. Now it makes me wonder as to why you are still at 800 ELO rapid even after playing for a way longer time than me.

I think this feedback will apply to you as well as to others wondering about how to spend less time in the opening phase and not get low on the clock. Though this advice might seem self-evident, the more you play, the more you become comfortable with the opening you play, the more naturally you will play and the less time you will use. Additionally, if you think this is still not helping, I would recommend maybe switching to a more simple / straightforward opening that is less tactical and requires less calculation in the beginning phase.

@abcdefghijklmnopq2345 Stop the cap. If your dad owns chess.com:

1. first of all, you would of joined ages ago, but you literally joined 3 weeks ago.
2. Second of all, the Chess.com headquarters (owners) are based in United States, though your flag is set to Germany - making your point very controversial..
3. What is your dad going to do? If he owns Chess.com he would have to spend ages going through important stuff, instead of trying to ban one account out of 135,000,000+ members?

I looked some of your games and I think you should work out middlegame plans and strategy from certain opening. Maybe you should look for a coach to take a deep look in your games and see if he could recognize your weaknesses

it does not matter. just play g6 or d5

I can teach you EXACTLY how to think during the game (opening, middlegame and endgame). Your chess understanding will never be the same and you will improve a lot. I charge €35/h, but if you can’t afford too many lessons, don’t worry. I can teach you a lot in an hour. Here to help if you are interested.

If you want to study by yourself, read ‘Logical Chess’. It is really instructive book. You have it on youtube as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0eTB7oHeRgM&list=PLUrgfsyInqNa1S4i8DsGJwzx1Uhn2AqlT

I got so frustrated when I got stuck there that I almost quit chess against humans, Now my rating is climbing a bit.

That is actually a better thing to do than to go on a tilt. There is an obvious rating plateau around 800 to 1000 ELO. Hope you do well in your future games. Have a nice day.
