why are you playing at full speed and in a 10 minute game you have already played 13 moves in 20 seconds ???
you have to think before playing otherwise you can't learn!
Already drop the bullets and the blitz it is clearly not for beginners.
play at least 10 minutes, but normally you shouldn't have time to play 30 moves, so 20 or 30 minutes.
It's not enough to make a move, you also have to put yourself in your opponent's shoes and see if they can take a coin from you.
You can just say they instead of (s)he
Does it bother you? Also, forgive me if I am grammatically incorrect but I am pretty sure they is plural. English is my second language so don't criticise me

No, you're correct.
as much for me I did not watch your last game 10 'that you won. I looked at your last 10 'lost which was catastrophic.
you played much better that's good! Keep it up and never be 100 again.

That would be grammatically incorrect.
Of course, "has" would have to be turned into "have" to be grammatically correct: "Like, I am pretty sure they have hung their queen in every game that I have looked at so far.
You can also say (s)he, but why complicate things with special characters when you can say "they."
As provided by APA, "they" may also be used in the singular tense.

Of course, grammar is of no importance anyway on informal forums like this.
Fortunately he is not demanding a GM title for tomorrow, like some here.
Unfollowing this one, pretty convinced it's just a troll.

You can just say "he" if its referring to "this guy". If nothing indicates the sex of the subject you can just say "he" anyway. Sod political correctness.

I hope that this helps.
Watch John Bartholomew videos on Youtube - Chess Fundamentals. It's great for beginners
Don't do scholars mate.
Ok, listen, I think we had this discussion before. Scholars mate helps them gain rating, yes, but it doesn't help them improve. If they fail achieving it, then they're worse and will probably lose. (You never know with beginner games, but yeah.)
Meanwhile, their rating will get inflated, and after Scholar's Mate doesn't work, they will be destroyed. They won't learn anything.
Scholar's Mate may be a short-term improvement in rating. but there are few, if any, long-term benefits. But to each their own, I guess.
It's not the same for everyone though.
From your games it looks like you are losing on purpose. Not sure if that's actually the case.... if you are in fact not trolling then you need to stop playing speed chess entirely and do some basic lessons and courses that you can find.
It actually does now! Hm. Strange.
