I need help

I'm new to the game in general and I keep making mistakes or getting blunders and I never win only if my opponent gets disconnected or resigns. I already tried some puzzles but it didn't seem to help me improve. Please I need help

Go through this and play at least 100 rapid games.

It takes time to get used to seeing the board and where pieces can move.

After that if you're still having trouble then maybe it's time for more specific advice.

It will take time and effort though. Good luck.

You will improve slowly but surely so long as you continue your progress. My general advice is to be comfortable (but not complacent) at whatever your rating range is. Obsessing over your rating and performance is sure to do your game (and possibly your mental health) some damage. I know Chess is considered by some to be a measure of intelligence, and while that is highly debatable, remember that even the greatest players were once mere patzers like me.

Also important is to remember that Chess is a game which relies heavily on working memory, so making observations after every move and remembering those observations is going to be crucial to developing your game beyond the point of hanging pieces every other move or something. The rest is pattern development and can only come from, as another member correctly pointed out, losing your first 100 games as quickly as possible.

Take your time 

In the beginning, play longer games. Try to think systematically every move using reasonable amounts of time.

For now, always think of the basic opening principles every time you make a move; control the center, develop your pieces, get your king to safety, don't move the same piece twice in the opening, count the number of attackers & defenders of your & your opponent's pieces .etc

After your game, analyze your mistakes. Practice tactics/puzzles on lichess. Watch plenty of chess videos if you do find them fun to watch, as it gets you more familiar with chess in general. Chess is mostly about pattern recognition, so recognize those patterns!

This is basically what I did & you too can improve very quickly!

Dear MichaelMicah,

I am a certified, full-time chess coach, so I hope I can help you. Everybody is different, so that's why there isn't only one general way to learn. First of all, you have to discover your biggest weaknesses in the game and start working on them. The most effective way for that is analysing your own games. Of course, if you are a beginner, you can't do it efficiently because you don't know too much about the game yet. There is a built-in engine on chess.com which can show you if a move is good or bad but the only problem that it can't explain you the plans, ideas behind the moves, so you won't know why is it so good or bad.

You can learn from books or Youtube channels as well, and maybe you can find a lot of useful information there but these sources are mostly general things and not personalized at all. That's why you need a good coach sooner or later if you really want to be better at chess. A good coach can help you with identifying your biggest weaknesses and explain everything, so you can leave your mistakes behind you. Of course, you won't apply everything immediately, this is a learning process (like learning languages), but if you are persistent and enthusiastic, you will achieve your goals.

In my opinion, chess has 4 main territories (openings, strategies, tactics/combinations and endgames). If you want to improve efficiently, you should improve all of these skills almost at the same time. That's what my training program is based on. My students really like it because the lessons are not boring (because we talk about more than one areas within one lesson) and they feel the improvement on the longer run. Of course, there are always ups and downs but this is completely normal in everyone's career.

I hope this is helpful for you. Good luck for your chess games!

I have only recently started as well, and I know the feeling. I found that playing relatively conservative helps me. Also, I found the Building Habbits from chessbrah very helpful. They just focus on the basic habits to play a solid chess game as a beginning/low rated player.

Also, analyse your games and try to find out where you gave it away. Sometime you make a move and you are unsure about it, go back to that move afterwards and see what other options there might have been. It takes time, but it does help. 

Good look, and I am sure you will improve.

I understand you’re just 14. You asked for help and you found it. Saying you’re broke is not an excuse. You can earn enough money to afford $2.42 per month, if you really want to. Make it a challenge and you will do it. Be resourceful and you’ll be surprised. 

I had two paper rounds at that age. Have a look at Chessable. It has many free lessons. Recomend SmithyQ's Opening Fundamentals and TheoryHack's Endgame book.
