You need to study chess to get better. Solve tactics problems.

You asked: "I'm always losing chess games in general. What am i doing wrong?"

Well, looking at the start of this bullet game (you being black) may provide a hint:


Sound openings are a start. Once that is done things will look up.

I am sorry you find yourself losing so much at chess. Maybe you should take a step back and study the simple things in chess better. Do some tactics and learn how to use forks, pins, skewers etc in games.

Maybe you should play with less experienced players like myself. I need practice guys please challenge me

He isn't playing predominantly bullet. In fact, the only reason that it shows as his highest rating is because he doesn't play it. His rating can only drop so much after two games.

As for what he's doing wrong, I have had a quick look through his games and I picked this one out as a fairly complete example of his play. I am not ruling him out as being some sort of troll.

He shows some signs of understanding opening principles. He messes up every tactic imaginable, including but not limited to, hanging lots of pieces and in this game missing a mate in one that he appeared to set up. He concludes by resigning in a fairly equal position. These are all typical charactistics from the games that I looked at.

He is preparing for the endgame by move 3 with the centralizing of the king.  Brilliant move and I would play it in all my games.

Conq, is that really you?!   And with an Alice In Wonderland reference, no less! (I think).

I thought I remembered that from somewhere, but I couldn't place it.  It was close enough for you to understand so that's good enough for me lol.

Also having an issue with a lot of "tilting" lately what is working for me is to have a friend (that knows chess) or someone else that does, to watch you play or see over your games. i got a friend to watch me play. my issue was spending too little time on my moves as i would notice what i did wrong almost instantly after playing my move. also don't worry about results try to learn patterns, openings and different styles of chess to improve your overal play. if you get annyoed by opening traps take some breaks with 960 chess. just have fun with chess :)

resigning is for losers, now i hope that makes sense.

Thanks for the help! I'll try to improve my tactics and i won't resign.
