Hey guys i just started actually trying to play chess, and ive always kind of known the rules but ive never known a lot and i was wondering what my elo should be as basically a beginner, ive watched a few videos and stuff but im still not really getting the hang of it so im just wondering if its a me thing or if all players start out like this?

Looking at your games, you probably need to:
a) learn what the value of the pieces are,
b) get into the habit of counting material,
c) do lots of puzzles rather than focus on playing games.
