Study my own game
Can someone please study some of my games where my ELO peaked?
Sort:
Just do 1000 basic puzzles (forks,pins,discovered attacks) and you'll learn not to blunder your pieces
Your rating is incredibly low because you are resigning games for no reason.

When you actually decide to play a game, you just bang out a random move in every 3 seconds. No matter if you can win a queen or lose a queen, you just make a random move quickly.

Don't do this. Don't play random moves. Use your time and think.
And don't resign.

I looked at several of your losses. At this point, you do not need high level instruction. You still need to focus on the basics.
on the positive side, you make the first 5 or 6 moves sensibly. You also take some of the material that your opponents leave unguarded.
However, there are several clear negatives:
You don’t complete your development
You don’t castle
You don’t pay attention to pawn weaknesses
You leave too much material free for the taking. For example, in two of the games I looked at, you lost your queen for no reason.
These are all rather basic—what we expect from beginners. So, keep focusing on the basics. It makes no sense to try to learn higher level concepts if you continue to make these beginner’s mistakes.

I constantly did those for like a week straight on Lichess (Rooks4Rock on there too if you'd like to friend me on there!) and it honestly didn't help except for some circumstances but besides that, I would say puzzles help, just doing them constantly doesn't really teach me anything or teach me not to blunder my pieces. If anything, doing constant puzzles has made me blunder my pieces more as opposed to not blundering as much say in a middle or endgame.

Hey Magipi, I appreciate your response but you are bringing up games where I was mad tilted, emotional and not actually focusing on the main point of what I asked in the post. These games in this timeframe, I was already frustrated with the game and shouldn't have been playing. You brought this up in my previous post and I am not saying you are wrong, but I already understand this and is exactly why I am not playing right now. to not tilt and give up hope within the first three moves of the game, to not let the emotions get to me because I play too much.
Yes, I have resigned and quit on multiple occasions, but you still have to remember I am only 2 months into playing Chess and still am learning the patience and practice it takes to become better as an 18 year old player. I appreciate your advice, but this I already understand this and if you would like to take a look through some of my good games or even my bad ones where I actually put up a decent fight (because trust me there is some good games in there) I would love to talk about those instead!
I am also now going through learning basic chess principles and tactics as of right now along with responding to you and others, so I am not so emotionally burnt on playing chess, but instead trying to gain a love for actually learning the game!

Thank you Mike! I appreciate this in-depth response besides something that is your typical "Just don't blunder" comments. I will say one of the reasons I don't castle as much I would say in the past is because I heard somewhere that it's better for your opponent to castle first because if you lift your rook it attacks the king better, which in theory would make sense but its honestly just better to say double the rooks by castling and just playing chess from there. I appreciate your great words and if I end up finding the time, might look through 2-3 of my games to see where I went wrong!
Appreciate your time Mike!

You did a lot of random moves. It looks like you try to reach zero rating.
XD Only when I am tilted my friend! But jokes aside, I got to get that ugly patch of tilted games out of the way once I make my full return lol, sucks because everyone is focusing on those but not really where I actually played semi-decent or good and still lost!

Lift the rook to attack the king better? In these cases you need to castle to connect the rooks. Unless you play Ke2?

No but seriously just don’t blunder, it’s not hard.
Only when you're not overthinking! I kind of miss when I first started chess because I didn't have to overthink openings, calculations and blundering. Especially when I am still struggling to find checkmate at times in certain matches, I get really nervous then, but I started doing the "learn chess" section on Lichess and plan to finish it by next Tuesday!

Focus on getting your bishops and knights out and then castle.
Honestly, after seeing your words of advice among many others, I was tempted to at least play ONE match... ended up taking the queen on the 13th move and he resigned! I took my time, was patient and attacked the center with confidence! Not playing again until next week LOL!

About 2 to 3 weeks ago, my ELO peaked to a mystical 161 and since, I have failed to achieve an ELO that high. I have also been playing like utter crap too to add onto that since then and would just like to understand how I played so I can hopefully understand basic Chess principles better along with getting proper study in my own games. I would do my own studies except I just don't really have the time anymore due to work and climbing towards other hobbies besides chess for right now. I am planning to casually study for a week before I play again to just give myself a chance to breathe and just not be so submerged in just playing Chess but actually learning and understanding the game for what it truly is!
Just know whatever studies are created for me I truly appreciate and want you to know I am more than grateful and appreciative for you to spend your time on a noob such as myself!
Thanks everyone,
Rock
