Look over your games and make notes, especially in places where you make large mistakes, such as missing game-changing advantages for yourself or when you give away pieces. Chess.com lets you insert images of games (copy paste the PGN into it) where you can write comments and have others see it. The posts can even be looked back on later.

At 1,000 Elo, if you know end game basics, use consistent openings and practice tactics consistently. If you just play, improving will take a lot longer.

dud just do tactics and study ur favorite openings. Its not that difficult, and no need to make a 4m for it

wow, aren't you rude

Endgames are way too complex, and are so streamlined. No option for creativity. Its like following an algorithm. Openings, you have a lot of choices, and u can decide how it goes.

dude I said there's no need to make a 4m bcuz its kind of self-explanatory, not to mention there's like a thousand 4ms on this exact same topic at ratings of 1500.

that is the problem, endgames are easier to study just for the reason that they play like algorithims, not "creatively"

Yes, i know it is a problem.

PILOTOXOMXD

then improve that why make a 4m

PILOTOXOMXD

u literally admit the issue, and then try to explain why I'm apparently rude now, and this deserves a 4m

PILOTOXOMXD

until 1300 or 1400 just grind tactics

Dear Prawnestant,

I'm a certified, full-time chess coach, so I hope I can help you. happy.png 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 territories (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 really like it because the lessons are not boring (because we talk about more than one areas within one lesson) and they feel the improvement on the longer run. Of course, there are always ups and downs but this is completely normal in everyone's career. happy.png

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 already more than 15 hours of educational videos uploaded and I'm planning to upload at least 4 new videos per week, so you can get 4-8 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! happy.png
