Hello! If your rating is stuck below 500, hopefully you are reading this. I've developed an improvement plan to help you succeed, and if you give me 30 minutes of your time, I'm pretty sure I can help.

Just watched this and wanted to say I really appreciate it. Chess.com started me with a rating of 800 I guess bc I have some basic knowledge of the game but realized pretty quickly I needed to really back up. This video gave me info I couldn’t seem to get at on the app, basically VERY THOROUGHLY walking me through a game..so thank you so much, have subscribed to your channel as well♟️✌️

Thanks for your comment and for subscribing. I'm glad the video helped you. I'll be putting out more beginner content over the next few weeks.

30 minutes is way too long. I'm going to play bullet and blunder all my pieces instead.

Okay, I'll save you the 30 minutes. Stop playing blitz and bullet. According to your game history, that's all you play. But playing those time controls is the reason you are stuck. You are doing it to yourself. You have to play chess with longer time controls that give you time to develop your calculation skills.

Play chess slower? Or I could stare at paint until it dries. That sounds fun, too.

I'm adding one more video to this thread. In this shorter 10 minute video, I show how to squash the wayward queen attack, and explain why you shouldn't fear it. Instead, you should see it as an opportunity!
