Your starting to come off as pretty rude and unhelpful, please find someone else to bother if your just here to make fun of me. Your wasting my time

This explains why you are not getting better: you're not making an effort to get better and you consider criticism "rude" and "unhelpful." If you can't be bothered to preserve or remember your own work, you will not improve.

I am still not convinced that you do any analytical work whatsoever on your chess games, but if you insist that you do, but can't remember it and didn't bother to write it down, then so be it.

I really don't understand your issue mate.

Great, now I am not convinced that you can read English very well either. Everything I said is basic and clear. I really don't know how you could possibly dispute it.

So, your problem is...?

@ BasicChess 22, Make it hard for opponent to achieve their advantage or win, don't compromise your position further: Its my personal philosophy and I won or drew many games by make it hard for my opponent to achieve their objective.

Your game with 1460 uscf your move is good one 36.Ke2 to centralize your king but your opponent wants to do the same thing and not only centralize his king but make it very active. How to prevent him to achieve his objective, your rook going to 36.Rd8, its very annoying and a thorn in his side, his king can't advance unless he want to lose a piece, 36.Rd8 Bc5 ( 36...Ke7 that is winner! { you know unsophisticated player always go for cheapos attacking your rook hoping you blunder}, blocking his bishop.lol 37.Rc8 Kf7 untangle himself. 38.Rc6 prevent your opponent king from centralizing, and you shift your rook back and forth Ra6 to Rc6 on the white squares) 37.Rc8 Bd4 38.Rc6 and shift your rook back and forth a6 to c6 , you make it very hard for your opponent to achieve his objective, and that is for his king become to active and his pawns will not be easy to mobilize. Keep you king on f1 and don't move any of your pawns; You can also shift your rook on Ra2 to Re2 and achieve a very easy draw, this will prevent a blunder and not lose in a won game. Of coarse this a won endgame but it take skill to win such endgame.

If I was black on move 45 I would played for a win, minor piece with two pawn= a Rook; 45...Bf2!, ...Kg5 and mobilize my e and f pawn and bring the King to f4, white is big trouble, might be a draw but now white has to be precise. 44.g4? is big mistake, much better is 44.Rc2 and shift your rook to a2 to e2 and very easy draw and there is no way your opponent can win , 44.g4? harms your position and blunder another pawn to your opponent and make your position more difficult to defend.

Positive part in your game, you did draw and for most part you played well. Congratulation!!!

Get lost! You don't know me or what I do. I'm having a crappy enough day without being told I don't do enough by someone who doesn't even know how hard I try to study this sport.

Hey guys, i'm feeling a bit frustrated my games and i don't know what to do to improve anymore. I feel like with how much i put in and how much i try to understand the game i should at least be able to get around 1600. However, i feel trapped at my rating. I practice every day, i do all the tactics and all the lessons i can. I watch as much content as possible on chess (really love the Saint Louis chess Club). I joined a chess club and started trying my hand in the tournament they offer....but yet no matter how well i feel l play i cant seem to push past my position. My daily games go okay, but I feel like i should be able to do well in 15|10 and 30 minute games.

I feel like i out play most of my opponents but then lose like patzer every time. Now it could be that i just really suck and im ignorant, i can understand that. But its not like im trying to become a master i just want to know what its like to understand the game like 2000 rated players do. I just want to be a decent chess club player and have fun. This losing and feeling like i dont understand anything really hits my self confidence hard. I feel like i can be good at this game but i feel also like even though i study hard and understand it more and more everyday i dont get anywhere.

I have tried to reach out for free coaches, and i have made some decent friends who have played some daily games with me to help me learn but even with the little bit of guidance i still feel so stupid at this game. Here some examples and ill try to explain in them my thoughts.

Than i play another game and all of a sudden its like my brain works, or my opponent was just terrible and i got lucky....idk how do i get better, why do i suck so much

I play black in the game above.

Am i really that bad, should i just give up, do i even deserve to try and be good at this game....

I see your mistake. Re1. This allows black to transpose the game into a bad bishop for you and fix his. Instead I recommend going e5 yourself so if dxe5 bg6 qg6 qg6 fxg6 you have dxe5 and now you have the better bishop and are almost winning a pawn while black is left with almost no play.
