Report that, Tokyo Joe. I even used the emoji with mean eyebrows!
New player and many questions.

Now it's tokyo joe. I'm POLISH. Just get him outta' here.
I try to be very polite and now I've blocked him and sent two complaints to the moderator. Back off. I attempt to be polite and work in law enforcement. I KNOW communication skills, @MarkGrubb And I possess several years of teaching experience along with 15 years inside of a Level 5 MAX.

After the game click "Analyze." Look at a few suggested computer lines, get bored, and then play another game.
I thought that this forum is meant for politeness. I'll report his post to the moderators. I possess the following:
BS COMPUTER SCIENCE with three years of Chemistry at Cal State Hayward
BA French UC Berkeley
Intermediate and Advanced Certifications from the Sorbonne University
Doctor of Chiropractic from Life West
15 years law enforcement experience
6 years teaching of which 4 years at the community college level
Yeah, I'm a loser. Please let's move on and forget Snookslayer who was reported to the moderator for abuse. Thank you all.
As a result of recent moderator reports, I've been told to apologize or face permanent ban.
So I would like to formally to Mr. tjkoko, who has a BS computer science degree of Chemistry for Cal State Hayward, a BA French from UC Berkeley, and Intermediate AND Advanced certifications from the Sorbonne University and is a a Doctor of Chiropractic from Life Wes. Mr. tjkoko used those 50 years of college to join law enforcement for 15 years, and then teaching for 9 years - 4 of which were at the community college level! Impressive to say the least.
In conclusion, I apologize. Mr. tjkoko is not a loser in anyway shape or form. And he loves books (don't joke about books around tjkoko). He's the kind of guy you want to have a beer with.
Sincerely - Snookslayer
(EDIT) Books on my shelves date to the 1600's and different people learn in different ways.
Hello,
To learn chess well is like learning a new language. It needs hard work and practice all the time.
And like the new language there is no lowest level. You earn what you learn.
No fast chess at all for a long time. Do you think you can learn a new language that way?
Go through the free Lessons here on Chess.com. Several times if you want to. And do it on a real chess board where you can concentrate.
Select a few positional openings ( London as white, Rubinstein French against 1.e4 and Dutch Leningrad agains 1.d4,1.c4,1.Nf3) to begin with where you decide the game and goals and type of positions.
Formulate a few questions you always answer before you make a move, like:
1. is my opponent threatening anyting?
2. is my development done?
3. can I improve a piece or pawn placement?
In this way you put pressure on your opponents and sooner or later you get chances to win.
Good luck and be patient!

Do you blunder the endgame or your pieces?
I advise you to start from the beginning, reviewing basic endgame (queen mate, rook mate, basic kinga and pawns, bishop pair mate) ad do a lot of puzzles. When you improve that part play a lot of games but review each one. You will soon gain a lot of elo points I guarantee
Here some tips 1:Develop your peiced 2: Control the center 3:Always check if theres something attacking your pieces 4:Ask yourself what benefit will i get if i do this move 5:Kings indian is a good opening i recommend it
Yes it is but its really good bc u can get a rook and rooks are good for endgames
I watch gotham chess to
i wouldn't recommend just that opening but the channel
i think i already recommended that to someone else
I don't know if I'm qualified to give you advice, being also a beginner(800 rated) but I would say work on not letting the opponent capture any of your unprotected pieces. Here's a tactic you would probably benefit from learning:
white sacrifices a knight, but that ends up with the queen being pinned and then captured.

Hey OP,
I took the liberty of doing a quick analysis of one of your games. Purely at random selected the on against motaa00.
I'm not going to point out every mistake or inaccurate move. Just some suggestions for structural improvements:
- On move 7 you play Ne5. Even though the engine says it's a good move. It's fundamentally a very bad way to play. None of your pieces are developed, only your Knight on f3 is out. Don't send that one Knight on an adventure. Focus on developing first. After trading you are back at zero pieces developed, on move 10.
- On move 15 you play Be5. This is also fundamentally a bad move. It's a one move attack. Your opponent can just move his Rook attacking your pawn on g2 or he can just play f6 forcing you to retreat again. Please don't let the fact that you opponent misses it encourage you to play these pointless moves. Focus on development, activate your pieces, get them out and on active squares. Get your king to safety first. In other words, build a strong position.
- Next one is pretty fascinating. On move 17, after he attacks your Queen with his Knight, you play one of the worst moves I have ever seen. Your move is so bad it's even difficult to find. May have been a mouse slip, but assuming it's not. So, your Queen is under attack. The best response would be to take his Knight. Taking with the Knight or taking with the Bishop are both excellent (and obvious?) options. But you could also move the Queen, you have many excellent safe squares to got to. So, combined you have 5-7 viable options. After spending about 10 seconds you decided to castle, removing the defender of the Queen (which was the King) and allow him to take you Queen with check. The evaluation goes from +13 to -6 implying you lost the equivalent of 19 points of material in this one move. This is more than just an oversight, this is going for the worst possible move, one that doesn't offer you anything. Look up checks captures and attacks (or checks captures and threats). Try to get better at evaluating moves,
- Last one. Move 27. I'll have to admit this is a difficult position, not very easy to find the best moves. But the Rook to e1, after spending around 1 minute, is literally the worst move you could play, because it loses instantly. Correction, there is one move that is literally the worst because it loses literally instantly, but you know what I mean. You need to work on your understanding of the game. Play puzzles, lots of them and get a feel for basic tactics.
In summary, I think you really need to work on your fundamentals. the fundamentals of opening play and the fundamentals of game tactics.
Play some daily games for a while...I also started out really struggling on rapid and moved to daily tournaments and got hooked on those games...I don't go back to rapid so often but when I do in find it a bit easier now. I also just picked up Pandolfini's weapons of chess and highly recommend it if you're in the market for a book. Lots of short but highly instructive chapters on key things to learn to help improve...

Theres a lot of selection bias on chess.com. The average chess player on chess.com is much better than the average non tournament over the board player. Me and a couple of my friends have made accounts here. When I started about 2 months ago, I dropped to 440. Another friend dropped lower. I would say a true true beginner who just learned how the pieces move today would actually be 180-250 rated. I know I am not dumb either, as I have somewhat of a math and computer science background. Over 2 monthts of play i've worked my way up to the 700's. and Im sure in another month or so I will be 800+ rated. It's just daily practice
No need. He was being ironic. It's humour but doesn't always translate within a global community.
