(no title yet)

Besides i get very anxious and move whitouth knowing i couldve already eat the queen and they end up eating mine, like i cant avoid getting anxious and move which makes me activate the confirm move thing

Learn, take some time and think if it's a blunder, watch your every opponent's move. The part about rooks is that you should castle and simply put them battle, at start, they sit in the corner, weak.

I try so, but castling is also dangerous sometimes, i still have that move confirm aswell i dont usually castle alot i only do when king is about to get checkmated

Hey there!

I looked through some of your games, so I have some advice for you to avoid your current problems of confirming moves and bad experiences at 500 elo (it gets you into the bad habit of basically moving without moving):

- Stop relying on attacks against f2/f7. Yes, f2/f7 is the weakest square, but your opponent can defend it very quickly, and if you keep trying to hammer at f2/f7, you will just be worse for the entire game.

- I noticed you didn't have a plan for after your attacks on f2/f7 fail, and that you tend not to think about what your opponent can do after certain moves, such as randomly hanging a queen or mate (there was one game where you were +5 and then you hung mate in 1). My advice here would be to stop and go "If I make this move, what will my opponent do" before EVERY move after around move 3-4.

- Opening principles. Control the center, piece development, and castle and you will be fine. It's rarely dangerous to castle early unless you're at risk of an attack (which most people at <1000 will not calculate). If you're worried about whether it is dangerous, just count the number of pieces you have against your opponent's number where you castled (excluding pawns + king)

You should also probably practice tactics so you get better at avoiding hanging your own pieces and taking your opponent's pieces for free.

Good luck!

Not castling is probably why you lose.

Castling early is one of the 3 main chess opening principles in my opinion; I wrote about opening principles in this chess.com blog post years ago and it seems to have helped a lot of people:

As for castling being "dangerous sometimes" this sounds like you perhaps castled into danger, or that side of the board was not best for your King and castling itself is doubtful to be the issue. I actually made a YouTube video almost a year ago on what side to castle in chess and I give several examples in the video so you can get some practice putting to use what I teach in that video:

@DarkMagician2015: thank you, i also use the same checkmate thing to make things easier but seems like people dont really fall for it, yeah i try to think what they can do next after i move ill try to keep that in mind

KeSetokaiba thank u, also yeah, sometimes i do castling in the worst timing

Probably

edging

me-rhys you are so based for that!

When is this thread going to get a title?

You should castle at your elo rating unless you are Magnus Carlsen. That dude makes the impossible possible but his last games caught him lacking by LyonBeast (username in chess.com)
