You need no special lesson below 1200 league .Just make two accounts: call them one the "Fresh" account and the other a "Tired" account. Use the Tired account everyday , playing again and again for countless hours until you drop dead, learn whatever you think you can learn. Use the Fresh account when you are fresh, focussed and ready to win.That's usually one or two hours in a day.Stop using the Fresh account whenever you feel tired or you start losing.If you lost more than 2 games in a raw with the Fresh account abandon the Fresh account and make another whenever you feel ready to win. The first 5 games that you win in a new account get you an insane amount of points getting you to 1500 league in just first 5 games. The points you win or lose gradually vanish away with every game until you get no more than 7 points for a win after your 50th game .Then you fight for your life keeping indefinitely that account in the last league you were caught because the site is going to choose similar value opponents fronm more than a million guys outhere, many of them being trapped the same way you were in a league or another.Don't mind about the truth of it. It's simple statistics.If you never went to school then you can watch some math concepts on you-tube . Keep your spirit high and believe you're the best! Cheat as much as you can as cheaters are everywhere , in all leagues. Learn how to cheat yourself, don't hate the ones who cheat you! They all do it one way or another! No matter how good you are there's always a cheater smarter than you. Although i'm probabbly the only one at this moment teaching you openly illegal stuff for this site's rules, be mindfull that many others are using more accounts for a long time, they just kept quiet on it. You'll see the difference between the two accounts in no more than a month! It might be possible in the future for the site to find a way to solve these problems, i have no idea about that.Until then learn as much as you can by yourself .There are free lessons on you-tube.You don't need to pay a dime for them, except your internet traffic
Never heard of such logic!
1. Playing games alone doesnt improve you much unless you do post analysis ( by yourself, by computer or someoneelse) and pre-preparation of coming games ( e.g opening preparation)
2.There is not much rating difference between fresh condition and when tired. People normally lose -100 elo when tired and angry ( -200 can present but very rare). I, myself, played in other website for almost 27 hours blitz and my rating dropped from 2200 to 2100 when tired. And in case you have such -100 rating drop, you will automatically get back to your average rating the next time you play 10-20 games again.
Refreshing. This offer was initiated few 2 months back, when i was in quarantine shotdown and had free time, now i am at work again and i have no time for lessons, sorry.
I helpled many students thou, it was interesting. cheers.
Can I join too plz

Play slow time controls.
Analyze your games, and post them for peer review.
Use an engine ONLY to check for blunders and missed tactics.
Opening Principles:
- Control the center squares – d4-e4-d5-e5.
- Develop your minor pieces toward the center – piece activity is the key. Centralized piece control more squares.
- (King Safety)
- Connect your rooks. There should be no pieces between your Rooks.
The objective of development is about improving the value of your pieces by increasing the importance of their roles (Piece Activity). Well-developed pieces have more fire-power than undeveloped pieces and they do more in helping you gain control.
Now we will look at 5 practical things you can do to help you achieve your development objective.
They are:
- Give priority to your least active pieces.
- Which piece needs to be developed (which piece is the least active)?
- Where should it go (where can its role be maximized)?
- Exchange your least active pieces for your opponent’s active pieces.
- Restrict the development of your opponent’s pieces.
- Neutralize your opponent’s best piece.
- Secure strong squares for your pieces.
Don’t help your opponent develop.
There are 2 common mistakes whereby you will simply be helping your opponent to develop:
- Making a weak threat that can easily be blocked
- Making an exchange that helps your opponent to develop a piece
Pre Move Checklist:
- Make sure all your pieces are safe.
- Look for forcing move: Checks, captures, threats. You want to look at ALL forcing moves (even the bad ones) this will force you look at, and see the entire board.
- If there are no forcing moves, you then want to remove any of your opponent’s pieces from your side of the board.
- If your opponent doesn’t have any of his pieces on your side of the board, then you want to improve the position of your least active piece.
- After each move by your opponent, ask yourself: "What is my opponent trying to do?"
General Ideas.
- Stop playing blitz, and bullet. Play longer time controls of at least G45, or longer.
- Follow Opening Principles:
- Control the center.
- Develop minor pieces toward the center.
- Castle.
- Connect your rooks.
- Study tactics...tactics...tactics. One of my favorite quotes is this: "Until you reach Master, your first name is tactics, your middle name is tactics, and your last name is tactics”.
- Double Check your moves. Before making a move, ask yourself: "Are my pieces safe?"
- After your opponent moves, ask yourself: "What is my opponent trying to do?"
- Analyze your games WITHOUT a chess engine, then have someone stronger go over the games, or post them online for review.
- DO NOT memorize openings. Learn and understand the pawn structure, and piece placement for the opening you wish to learn.
- Learn Basics Mates:
- K vs. KQ
- K vs. KR
- K vs. KRR
- Learn Basic King and Pawn endings.
- KP vs. K
- Opposition
- Have Fun!
