I suck at xhess plz help

i realized that a bit late

The best way to improve is to constantly learn. 
At this level, people are always going to play trash opening and stupid stuff so if you focus on opening and learn to refute all trash openings, you'll be able to get great results. And also blunders are some thing you have to focus on.

In one of your games, a person played the scholars mate and managed to win. This opening is one of the most cheapest tricks of all time. Let me give you a few games I destroyed my opponent with refutes. (Try checking the games with the explorer, there is too many wins, but if you want some separate games I'll give it. )

Also a youtube video on the topic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GN6FtOtvWg

i know falling for that scolers mate was just embarrasing

i also lose alot bc of back rank mate

Ask any variation, I'm ready to help!

You played 11 rapid games on Sept. 14 and did not review any of them, even with a diamond membership. That could be part of your problem.

Yeah. honestly. tried out the platform. it got so good lessons

Dear Joeline,

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 analyzing 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 is that it can't explain to you the plans, ideas behind the moves, so you won't know why it is 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 with your games!

thanks

I made it to 499 elo but dropped to 380 again :river

Thanks for the advice, I’ll try the service out

@Joeline2009 idk how to re message sorry if wrong anyways wanna play with me i am kind of in a similar situation as you are

The best way is to play against bots first and try some puzzles. When you feel more comfortable, start playing matches. I hope this helps. I dropped my ELO to 270, but I got back up within a week or two. Now my ELO is 402, and I don't play too much—just about one match a day. Also, stay calm while playing; it will help a lot as well.
