Post your games here :)

You won the game and pulled some tactics but you also made many mistakes. First of all on the 6th move you should've either taken his queen or played kc3. You never want to just give away your castling rights like that. On the 14th move when you blocked the check like that it just lost a pawn. It is as simple as counting how many pieces are attacking and supporting that push. A big mistake many people commit is thinking pawns aren't worth much but the truth is they are one of the most important pieces when it comes to endgames, your kings safety, and attacks. Look a couple moves ahead. On the 16th move you just gave up a pawn again and you began to lose your advantage.

Its a pretty good thing you know what an en passant is but you were also pretty lucky he didn't know what it was. On your 32nd move it would have been better if you simply moved you rook to support your pawn that way you opponent would have to keep pieces stationary to stop it from promoting and you would have more activity. Finally on the 36th its all just a matter of counting the attacking and supporting pieces for a push. When you promoted that pawn there were 2 pieces attacking it and only one supporter. Again if you simply left it there his pieces would become stationary and you would keep on being active and eventually won the 3 on 2 pawn race.

ur very kind of giving me advice can u give me advice to reach 1000 elo (btw my actual rating in IRL is 700-800 but this account was forgotten a long time ago so i only recently i decided to start bringing this account back to a higher rating) so have any suggestions?

Sure! One of the things you must learn to try and get to 1000 elo is having a larger understanding of the game. When I say that I mean every aspect including knowing when to trade, tactics, doubled pawns, attacks and pawn pushes, etc. I can't really go around and explain everything so you will have to learn that stuff yourself. Another thing you should definitely do is learn actual openings and study both the middlegame and endgame. Openings generally aren't played by many in lower elo ranges so by learning one you will easily be able to obtain a stronger position and central dominance from the start.

Something else a lot of people do is blunder...so don't blunder. I know that might sound really obvious but playing moves too fast leads to those situations and a lot of the time people only focus on their moves and completely ignore your opponents moves. Try to look for any threats your opponent tries to make. If there aren't any than move on. If there are then do something called neutralizing. It is when you identify a threat and neutralize it by moving a piece to a certain square that covers the threat or you can just straight up launch your own counter attack.

Finally I know I kind of already said this at the start but STUDY the middle and endgame. Try following the 20-40-40 rule. It states that 20% of your time should be spent on openings and 40% on the endgame and middlegame each. This will help you regognize certain patterns like pawn promotion, defending pawn promotion, rook endgames, pawn races, etc(these were all just endgame examples). First however I recommend you learn an opening for both white and black and if you have time than learn 2 for each color(later on you can learn as many openings as you'd like). One more thing. Don't stress or worry too much. You just have to be patient and enjoy the game. Ignore your rating for the most part until you do in fact reach 1000 elo. If you begin to panic during a game because your losing and your one game away from 1000 elo you'll just put yourself in a harder position. Ignore all this rating nonsense your mind might be stressed or worried about. Doing this really helped me when I was in burnout one time and now I'm coming back to the level I used to play at. Just don't focus too much on it and focus more on actually helping yourself and improving your gameplay.

Also sorry if this was a lot to read. I had a lot of things in mind and I felt they were all pretty important so I tried to shorten it as much as possible.

Ok, thx

Also could you please give me advice to reach 1300 elo? (currently 1016) Thank you

please review this https://www.chess.com/game/140319500714?move=0

You guys both know I have instructions to show your games right here instead of links right? If not like I said just follow the instructions on the first comment.

@Sleepyburgerr @Moai684

Unfortunately I myself am not yet at 1300 elo but I'm working on it and I have goals to reach 1200 by the end of the summer. As of right now I am only 1128.

Thats a cool trap but don't try using it too often. The englund gambit is still a very unsound opening.

lol. he basically fell for the scholar's mate

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! that is VERY helpful and i will keep that in mind also i have a another forums page titled, "How Do I Get Better" if anyone has any advice pls send it there

Np! I'll give you any new advice there when I can.

k ty

Remember to fix those blundering mistakes. You found a nice checkmate at the end though.
