I keep losing and I'm rapidly losing motivation.

well i'm currenctly losing, lose, lose and lose again...

i kinda need advice. Rapid game doesn't work, Blitz doesn't work, analyse my games doesnt work.

cause no matter what i lose and i'm tired to lose. i thought on september 2024 "i'm gonna go try OTB with a chess club. welp. no. (i'm 1000 btw)

It doesn't help matters that there is an abundance of cheaters on online chess. There are also people who intentionally lose to keep their rating low. I have encountered quite a number of people who have a low rating but play with skill much higher than their rating. You may not be as bad at playing chess as you think you are. It mostly comes down to who you are playing against.

They can't break through the low Elo barrier because many low Elo players are highly skilled and they keep each other down. Like if 90% of 200 Elo players are as strong as 1000 Elo, they will be paired against each other and winratio will be 50% so their rating will not change. (sure 5% are truly 200, but another 5% is say 1200 who climb to their unwanted destination - 300 where other 1200s are crumpled). This is just an example, proportions could be different, but when there's not enough crossplay and when initial rating is inherently inaccurate such situations are unavoidable. This is called a localized pool. To remove such pools chess.com needs to conduct mandatory pool-joining tournaments and do hard recalculation with reassignments of ratings. This was described in Arpad Elo (creator of Elo system) book, I'm not making things up. And to prevent such pools, you need to stop rating people right from the start and stop them from affecting rating of others. First they must play a considerable amount of games (like 50 maybe) against players who have a well established rating, then they can receive their initial rating (not like now - you say you're beginner, advanced etc during registration and you get rated immediately and you then affect ratings of everyone - that's crazy). And you should not allow tight matchmaking, must be something random within wide range like +/- 200 Elo to ensure good cross-play, yes that would be predictable win/loss but this is necessary to avoid localized distortions.

I know how you can get out of this slump your in!

Take a walk into my Wheel House!

Let me introduce you to the Wild Side of Chess!

1st thing - you need to do is Change your opening!

2nd thing - you need to do is start playing weird stuff!

Let me be the first to introduce you to

- THE CRAB OPENINGS!

Your losing Motivation?

Wait till, you start playing the Crab Opening and your opponents begin freaking out because they don’t know what your doing!

The look on their little faces is going to be so hilarious that your not going to lose motivation!

Your going to gain motivation!

My recommendation for you is to check out the below forum link:

https://www.chess.com/forum/view/for-beginners/crab-opening-for-beginners

I created the line to be beginner friendly!

It is so easy to play!

I explain each move.

I explain the plans you want to do.

Your going to be able to play it with confidence and your opponents are going to be scared of what your doing because they don’t know!

Ytb video doesn't work.

It's either you are bad or you are good

So I'm just going to be bad forever?

It's much less stressful playing unrated games, and players are more willing to chat. I would recommend that and see if your enthusiasm for the game improves.

I have given the OP the Ultimate Advice!

At this point, The OP has to make a choice.

The OP could listen to my advice and reach rank 1,000.

or

The OP could refuse to listen and stay at rank 100.

Both options are correct!

I know what option I'm choosing if both are correct.

Stop playing online, go out to a club. Online chess is fake and toxic at this level.

Hey can you cite the book here? I'm interested in the mathematics of this. (specifically, it should be possibly to empirically test if this is happening or not here, statistically!)

There's really not an abundance of cheaters around 100 elo mate.

The Rating of Chessplayers Past & Present, Second Edition, Arpad E. Elo

Read pages 41...44 and 48...52

he I lose games but just keep trying play bots do puzzles and practice

Their is nothing wrong with being rated 100 or 1000.

Its completely fine.

Their are thousands of chess players in those rating ranges so it’s not bad.

The real issue is about your happiness.

You said all the losing and being rated 100 is causing you to lose motivation which isn’t good!

Their is tons of people who are rated 100 and never lose motivation and are always happy.

—————————

Obviously, Sometimes, you are doing isn’t working.

So you need to do something different.

Based on what you said, you have been developing your pieces to center and your still losing.

You been doing what others have said and it hasn’t helped you. It has only made things worse.

So I came to your thread offering you a different way to play chess which might help you actually do better.

Their are different ways of playing chess because their are different play styles which exist in chess.

Maybe, you are not doing well because your not playing in the style that suits you best.

———————————

I have had dozens of people thank me!

They thanked me because I showed them how to play chess in a different way!

————————————

You should play the way which suits you best.

If playing the way I recommend doesn’t work, Than don’t do it. All I was saying was for you to try.

Let’s say their is 10 different playing styles.

Out of those 10 different styles, You have only tried 1 style which isn’t working.

I am recommending a different style which may or may not work as well.

We will never know unless you try.

My Chess Personality style is of a Grinder.

Maybe, you are the same or maybe you are different.

I don’t know!

Novices as in you? Also, why do you have 2 different personas? You act like a moron in the chess cheating forum but normal here?
