Looking for advice...

Hi everyone, I've just started playing chess again. I originally started ten years ago when I was fifteen. Now, I've picked it up around 3 weeks ago. My current rapid rating is just below 700. What I want your opinion about is how can I further improve my games so that I can compete players with higher ratings. I do review almost all my games. But sometimes I just miss the certain point until after I review it after the game. Is there any certain angle to view the pieces? What should I keep in mind while playing? I know the rules and openings, and all. But from what I've analyzed so far, I suck at the end game. Really appreciate any feedback I could get. Thank you! :)

Maybe we could play some unrated live chess sometime and I could give some tailored advice after a game or two based on what I observe; happy to help

The main problem of people wirh the such low rating as yours .. is elementary blunders in every game.

Eliminate blunders... and all will be okey.

It's quite enough.

Believe me.

 

And play long time games for this purpose... of course.

I agree with korotky_trinity. (eliminate blunders). I am 700/800 player. Down here in the trenches I call it "blunder-land". At the 700 level the game is alot of  blunders and hanging pieces, that is just the way it is. Learn to not leave a hanging piece and don't blunder and you will get to 800 (which I know is still beginner) but you will see improvement. (I blunder and leave hanging pieces but  I occasonally  go on a roll where I don't & my victories start piling up

This may seem a off topic but don't be arrogant, ignorant or trash talk your opponent*. This advise not only makes you a better chess player but a better person and people will respect you more as a person. 

*There are exceptions to trash talk like if it is just having fun (I quite enjoy it at the chess club)  but generally don't do it (It's funnier being quiet and watching them fail (my opinion anyway)). 

Eliminate blunders = lots of tactical training basically

Literally easier said than done though and this isn't extremely rating dependent. Obviously higher rated players tend to blunder less often and less severe, but even Grandmaster games are often decided by an error or two, so even though it is true eliminating blunders would help...just saying it doesn't really do much to help doing it, now does it?

Be like a detective. Ask yourself why your opponent did something. Also play longer games or games with inc. They help take pressure off.

Learning from mistakes is another one.

Play agaist Chess.com bots.

Oh, I would love to. It will be a great help for me. I'll DM you and we can play whenever you are available.

Yes, I do analyze all my games. And it has helped improve alot. I just mess up the endgame sometimes, maybe I need a to watch recommended lessons for that. Anyways, thanks for the advice, it's great.

I totally agree with you. I never trash talk. But I do come accross some opponents that do. I normally turn the conversation towards a ligher and funny mood. I doesn't bother me nor does it affect my game. It's not like I'm playing for the title or something.

Maybe try some new openings

Maybe do a long game that the bot won't like and play a solid opening (NOT PASSIVE there is a massive difference (Just wanted to emphasize that))

The essence of blunder prevention is to verify that your intended move is no blunder before you play it.
