Average 1200 - 1300 s

Average 1200 - 1300 : Hope i can play a game without hanging my queen for free and btw how did the knights jump again ? En Pessant ? Hmm have to look that up . 

Average Chess.Com 1200 - 1300 : Lets see should i use the sicilian , caro Kann hmmm lets see i have so much knowledge its hard to decide . Lets just play the best moves and see what happens . cause in the endgame im confident in all sorts of checkmates and of course dont fall for traps , so yeah .......  Guys the level of play here on Chess.com is insane . I had to like play 90 percent + to have a chance almost ... Wow 

@chuck639 Yes my point exactly . Im seeing 1200 s really having some intermediate at least skills and play really well I think maybe covid has drawn many people to chess and the time to study chess . Thnx for the reply and enjoy the rest of the weekend chuck

The Chess.com Explorer is a great tool for all levels. I started at 1400 and it has taken me much time to get to 1700 + or - where I am now. When you are playing against opponents around the world you find many people that are stronger than yourself and it makes me play stronger. I always play 50 + and or 50- to stay close to rating. Keep on studying it does make a difference. Much success!

Thnx for the advice @iphilbrook Ive bought the MCO ( Modern chess Openings ) book but its almost just notations and i feel its for more advanced plrs . Do you have any good book recomendations for 12 - 1400 ish  plrs ?

casually bringing back memories with this post, i dropped a tear or two

Usually I jump in skill level, it doesn't increase gradually. Though I haven't done much focus studying...

Hi @orjanbre, chess.com, in my opinion, has a vast knowledge of expert advice and tools at the tip of your hands. You need to use the Explorer, Key Moments, and Analyzer. I guarantee that your games will improve. Personally, I haven't studied any books in years as they can all be found within these tools in all different types of lessons and excercises. For me, it's so much easier to study online. I have even used the lessons found online at chess.com with my chess club. Give them a try and study. Use the Key Moments tool with every game. Go back to old games and study them. I will even play you unrated games if you want to learn. I am willing to help anyone below 1650 improve their games. Let me know. 

Also, @orjanbre, I forgot about the puzzles. Play the puzzles and study them on here every single day. These will also improve your games. They will push to anaylze more and more. You got this!
