my cousin goes to chess class and he's stuck at 100
I hate saying it, but that is just an obvious skill issue, being stuck at any other rating is smth else, but being stuck at 100 is below noob level

Absolutely, probably just a cash grab
"you should spend more time on improving because you have potential" this would be the tipical answer from most users here in cheds.com . Fortunately, I am here to save you from this ABSOLUTE LIE. Don't listen to these disingenuous people, don't believe them and absolutely dismiss their malicious advices. These people lie to themselves and project their own self lies into others. And if you call them out (like I do ) they may attack you because the idea of being wrong for so many years is too much weight for their egos. Sorry guys for telling the truth again

@Idrinkyourhealth3, it appears to me that you've been sippin' too much of whatever that is you're drinking and, as does in some, it's brought out a mean streak. Cynical much? 
Do the obvious thing man, don't hang on the faulty criteria of other people. They'll never tell you anything genuinly good for you, its painful to read most of the responses you got here on this thread. It just shows the lack of common sense and honesty. Just bold lies and projections. Its sad and embarassing

I’ve been playing chess for a couple months. I think I have around 300 games played against real people and who knows how many against bots. I still suck really bad! Is this normal or do I just not have the mind for this?
I have watched countless hours of videos on openings, speed runs, etc. I can memorize the the basics of the openings but still struggle really bad in the mid game.
I’ll admit I’m making a bunch of really bad mistakes like leaving pieces hanging, blunders, getting forked, and most likely not realizing I have mate in one or two.
I feel like with the time I have spent I should be better than I am, but my play proves otherwise.
So the question is where do I go from here? The internet suggests wide variety of options. I just don’t want to go down the wrong path and waste more time. Sure I would love to get to 2000 but let’s focus on baby steps for now. How do I get to 500?
I have come to the realization that I’m trying to focus on material that is to advanced for me. Sure I can study and opening but that opening goes to hell in a hand basket when the people I play against don’t follow basic chess principles. I then run into scenarios that never happen in the YouTube videos. I’m guessing I should be able to punishes them, but… I’m not lol.
I would love some feedback from someone who was where I am at now. If you give advice on what to do next please be specific. If you say “study tactics” how?
I’m incredibly frustrated but it’s also fueling my obsession with getting better…
Thanks in advance!
