iam a very bad player and never get above 130 at any even time mostly I stay at 100 -- lately when I play a player of say 115 120 rank or even 105 etx etx -- I expect to play someone whom I have chance of beating it should be about 60 /40 lose win rate -- when I play a player of say 150 and up is expect to lose my goal is to just to get to 30 moves before I lose my queen or get boxed in a checkmate

but lately I am losing very single match the ones I do win at 5 minute games are on time which I really don't count as a win - the play of these 110- 120 players is such these use  knight forks and all kind of moves with  patterns way above having 110-120 skill set -- this has ben going on for days now -- my 24 hours games are fine I play wide reaching ranking form 500 to 1600 and lose everytime but I expect that and some time I get to my goal of 30 moves without losing my queen and I feel like a win-- but this happenings at 5 min is quit distrubing -- are there that many people mainly from over sea countries thought even some from this side of the oceans, that are sand bagging for some unapparent reason -- and why do that -- if your skill level is say 150 /250 and up own it and make us 100 type players play out own win one lose one etc etc etc --- please any comments --- please give me the motive of why they are ruining this site for real play at real rankings

One thing I do to get better is I use the lessons and the puzzles. They helped a ton!!!

Stop being a poor sport and abandoning games when you lose your queen is a start
Avatar of LOSTATCHESS

poor sport why ? why waste other's time when you know its over when, you lose your queen in the first say 15 moves for sure and maybe for sure in the next 10 after that-- I don't like wasting others time and mine so I don't, if I see the end is near I retire to play another game -- bad sport has nothing to do about now if I was just to stop playing and let the time run out then that's is a bad sport -- I have on occasion done that, not very proud of that fact and try to curtail as much as possible but I do get mad and slip once in a while --

One thing I noticed is that you play g4 first and that is the worst possible first move so the first step would be to learn an opening

I recommend the Vienna

Its a poor sport because you abandon the game instead if resigning, you are wasting your opponents time. It is terrible etiquette. But who knows, maybe you didnt know there was a resign button until now, or you are a bad sport.

The key is not just climbing the rating, but having fun and seeing small improvements.

Try a different time control. Some people are just not made for speedy chess, especially for us beginners - I know I'm not! I like 30+0 and longer because it gives time to think and not just make random moves because the clock is ticking. And 3-day Daily is good too. Don't focus on results or ratings too much - just focus on the specific game at a time

Ilooked at your last two blitz games, and you move too fast, try going a little slower, for openings I would recommend finding an opening that fights for the center more, for white maybe the italian, and black the caro kann. I would play a little more defensive, especially around your king, take more time on your moves, and use the chess lessons provided by chess.com, and puzzles.

If you are really intent on moving the bishop on move 2, try the bishops opening, or queenside fianchetto, or on black the modern defenses.

Practice openings more, and study theory.

I remember being 100-200 and I really don't think openings matter there. The #1 thing is not hanging pieces in one move just by not seeing them and knowing which pieces are more important than others (Queen>Rook>Bishop>Knight>Pawn). So many people will move an attacked Knight and lose their Queen in one move (not even through a tactic, just rescuing the Knight)...

Openings most certainly matter, if you could get an opening down, you will most likely beat a 100, and jack your rating, they start off the game, and you want to start well, don't you? With his opening (the grob), the position is -2 after 2 moves, openings can move that up to +1 if you do it right.

Yeah, I meant openings don't matter as long as you play d4 or e4 - not g4-style moves!

Vienna used to be my favorite, it is a great opening, love the gambit.

2400 games and 100 rating, that's the most insane thing I've ever seen here. You need to go on youtube, watch some stuff for beginners, learn chess principles, basic ideas, anything. Without outside help you will never improve, not at your level
