The Framework

1. Learn core principles.

2. Apply them in slow games.

3. Analyze your decisions afterward.

This is the framework I use with students I coach.

Here are the core principles:

• The Principle of Activity & Material: These are the two pillars of chess. You must constantly strive to increase the activity of your pieces while capturing material whenever it is freely given.

• The Principle of the Least Active Piece: When you aren't sure what to play, identify your "worst" piece and improve its position. This is the secret to consistent positional play.

• The Principle of Attack: Attacking moves are superior because they force the opponent to react. Prioritize calculating Forcing Moves (Checks, Captures, and Threats) before anything else.

• Maximum Activity: Place your pieces as forward as possible to restrict your opponent.

• Keeping the Tension: Do not release the tension (exchange pieces/pawns) unless it gives you a concrete advantage. Releasing tension often helps the opponent free their game.

• The Principle of the Center: Centralization is the most efficient way to dominate the board.

• Neutralization: If an opponent has an active piece on your territory, your immediate priority is to attack it, force it back, or exchange it.

• The 3 Opening Tasks: 1) Develop pieces, 2) Castle, 3) Connect rooks.

• Endgame Strategy: In the endgame, the logic changes: Activate your King, advance passed pawns, and attack opponent's weak pawns.

ChessMastery just copy and pastes that on every fourm asking for help lol id ignore most of it at 100 elo, honestly at 100 elo all you want to do is check after your opponent makes if you can just take it for free and make sure you arent hanging pieces for free before you move them. There is a setting called "comnfirm each move" which will save you from alot of 1 move blunders

you have lack of experience, but okay, try to calculate not only your moves, but opponents moves too, i attack him, what he will do? what he can do? What i need to do when he do this move?

Keep your pawn structure intact, look for tactics, ask what is opponent doing after their move, follow simple plans, if stuck look to improve position.

Nobody thinks 50 moves ahead, obviously. Not even the engines.

Right mow your problem seems to be that you don't even think one move ahead. You just play some random move in seconds, and it's often a one-move blunder.

This is your last lost game:

You started the game with 15 minutes, and 54 moves later, after you lost all your pieces and got checkmated, you still had 14:27 left. Does that sound like good time management?

Don't play random moves. Use your time and think.

Tips:

Don't play bad moves, play good moves instead.

Don't lose games, win games.

Keep asking for lots of tips, it'll turn you into a great chess player.

Don't look, don't think, don't work, all these things are for boomers and sore losers.

Let the natural so deserving genius in you take commands and crush your ennemies effortlessly. Roll a dice. Pull a card. Play the lotery. It must be your lucky day since you are you, and the others, well, are just dumb NPCs.
