I don’t know if this will be helpful but try to look a few moves ahead. A slow but simple way is just to analyze threats. Basically develop undeveloped pieces, make threats, and defend against threats. Easier said than done, but try your best.
I’m just a casual chess player, and I’m not some super grandmaster, but this thing works most of the time.
P.S. for those of you who are extremely good at chess, please don’t flame me 🙏🏻
If you crowd a newer player, they can be stuck while you strike. Try to minimize the spaces they attack.
Hello, I am a new Chess player. I have played a few games IRL and a few online. I would like to know the best tips to face games with more brains. Thanks.
Dear Brokenbutcute,
My name is Gabor Balazs. I’m a Hungarian FIDE Master and 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 given way to learn and improve.
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. 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.
In my opinion, chess has 4 main areas (openings, strategies, tactics/combinations and endgames) and 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 enjoy the lessons because they cover multiple aspects of chess in an engaging and dynamic way, keeping the learning process both stimulating and efficient. Of course, there are always ups and downs but this is completely normal in everyone's career.
If you would like to learn more about chess, you can take private lessons from me (you find the details on my profile) or you can visit my Patreon channel (www.patreon.com/Bgabor91), where you can learn about every kind of topics (openings, strategies, tactics, endgames, game analysis). There are more than 37 hours of educational videos uploaded already and I'm planning to upload at least 4 new videos per week, so you can get 4-6 hours of educational contents every month. I also upload daily puzzles in 4 levels every day which are available with a FREE subscription.
I hope this is helpful for you. Good luck with your games!
Improving Your Chess - Resources for Beginners and Beyond…

The Mistake your making is using to much Brains!
You shouldn’t be using more!
You should be using less!
Embrace your inner Cave man/woman!
You don’t need Brains when you have got Muscle!
Go for the Checkmate!
Blunt Force Trauma!
You’re ranked 300.
You should be bringing out your Queen a lot more!
You need to show your opponents who is Boss!
It’s all about the Muscle!
I can’t believe you’re going to waste time using your brain in a chess game!
Who even does that?
Look at Grandmaster Nakamura for inspiration!
He plays Hyper Bullet (30 second)
No thinking - Only Premoving!
Don't even waste time studying End Games because your opponents will lose on time anyway!
You just need Speed & Good Old Fashion Muscle!
Flex on them! Make them know you mean serious business!
Change your avatar as well to something more sinister and grim!
A Tombstone or Casket so your opponent knows there is no hope only saddness!
Use chess.com recources.
The answer depends on how much time you have/want to devote to chess. At the beginner level, with a little free time, I'd make three suggestions. (1) Practice basic tactics over and over again so that you automatically spot them in play. (Do tactics every day -- either from a book like Bobby Fischer Teaches Chess, or on a website like Chess Tempo or Chessable.) (2) Always ask yourself why your opponent made their last move. What are they trying to achieve and how can you stop them? And (3) go back over your games. Figure out what you did wrong, and avoid the same mistakes in the future.
Good luck!
Learn exactly how to think in the opening, middlegame and endgame — this is what I teach.
Always blunder-check your moves.
Solve tactics in the right way.
Analyze your games.
Study games of strong players.
Learn how to be more psychologically resilient.
Work on your time management skills.
Get a coach if you can.
Right now, you just need to play more games. Focus on good chess principles - developing your minor pieces, castling your king to safety asap, and making an escape hatch so you don't get back rank mated. Play long time controls - use your time well and before each move check to make sure you aren't blundering anything.
A lot of people say the opening isn't really important. This is true, but a badly played opening can lead to problems. Take this miniature "game" for example:
I do not think you will have many more brains. But you are so pretty, if you play Boris he let you win.
The Mistake your making is using to much Brains!
You shouldn’t be using more!
You should be using less!
This is a disgrace, You should be ashamed of yourself.
Recommending Scholar's mate to a beginner is also shameful.

It is 2025!
You need to stop living in the past, Magipi!
Beginners are playing Scholar Mates with and with out other players approve!
You need to accept reality!
If these beginners insist on playing the Scholar mate, The only responsible thing to do is to show them how!
Downvoting me doesn’t mean I am wrong!
Look at the OP Game History!
Look at the OP opponent’s winning!
What did they do?
Bring out there Queen on move 2!
The Power Move - To create Fear and Chaos!
———————————
Let the OP play the line so she can begin to see the tricks players do with there Queen Out!
When you play the line, you will learn the tricks, traps, and attacks to beat your opponent.
You will also learn how players counter/defend against your attacks.
This is how a person learns thru experience!
Downvoting me doesn’t mean I am wrong!
Yes it does.
Downvoting me doesn’t mean I am wrong!
Exactly.
It works the other way around.
Being wrong means that you get down-voted.

I’m not wrong!
I’m just 1 of the few High Level Players who doesn’t mind talking to Low Elo Players!
I haven’t been corrupted by Elitism and I refuse to let my head get so Big it can’t fit into a Room!
People just don’t want to listen to what low Elo players have to say! They refuse to listen to there low Elo struggles!
Ask Low Elo Players how many times they see there opponents bring out there Queen early!
————————————
A Low Elo player told me he sees it every other game!
Low Elo Players have their own Meta down there. People just refuse to acknowledge it!
A Scholars Mate might sound bad looking at the situation with High Ranking level, but from Low Elo Rating!
It is a very strong line which is simple and effective!
Thats what Low Elo players need simple and easy to play lines!
Scholar Mate is fundamentally simple!
You go after your opponents King and checkmate them!
It’s that simple!
