Simple Rules

Notes taken. Thanks Robalero. Feel free to look over some of my recent games. I feel like I'm getting better.

I just played an embarrassingly bad game against Cooper11122. I mean terrible. He wasn't even using 5 of his minor piece for a majority of the game and I still lost. Games like this make me want to give up chess. Embarrassing...

очень круто но не говно

how to play sicilian defense?

Nice

Okay, I've reached 800...

I have realized I that I can't be detracted at all when playing. Everytime someone tries to talk to me of my girlfriend needs something I blunder and have to fight like hell to keep from losing. Reminder to self. FOCUS!

Distracted*

This is a prime example of making one real mistake and the game just falling apart at this level. I pushed my pawn in the center because I miscalculated the cascade of exchanges and everything fell apart. When something like this happens I don't know what to do.

6.d4 right? yeah, you should count how many pieces that attacking and how many piece that defending at certain square.

the key is before making a move, always search what enemy respond would be

dont worry, i still make this mistake too, especially when game was intense

as time goes by, you will get better and better

ok someone said that 1100s make no blunders and uh, thats so false

well, atleast they are more sophisticated, as far as i know there are mainly four types that happen

a) you think you have compensation, but you dont

b) miscalculation of tactics

c) you literally cant defend the piece (in endgames, or because defending would lose something else)

d) some basic 2 move tactic like pins discovered attacks/checks skewers or a combo of these, also especially zwichenzugs

oh theres also "missing some insane 8 move line which looks like it blunders but it doesnt" - stockfish

oh right here is an analysis of that game you gave (please do not 100% go by what i am saying if anyone stronger has any analysis follow theirs)

self destruction is not advised (Qf3??)

I´m still working out what aal options are, so many possibilities in this app🙈

Okay, I've scratched and clawed my way to 850. My goal is 1,000 elo. I don't need to be a GM but I want to be "respectable" at this game as almost a another cool little life skill to have.

Move 6 d4 you took a whole 11 seconds to consider that mistake (it takes time to calculate for us mere mortals), and a whole ten seconds for move 43 when you hung your Queen. Take your time man! you finished with twelve minutes left on your time. You've skill, now use your patience.

Okay, I do need to slow down.

i need a opening

Thanks again to everyone who offered up help and suggestions.
