Cant get past 700 rating

Any tips for that anyone over a 700 rating can give me.. Maybe something you think is usually overlooked by a low rated player

Lay off the blitz, and bullet.

Play games at least 30 minutes long.

Play correspondance chess.

Opening Principles:

1. Control the center squares – d4-e4-d5-e5

2. Develop your minor pieces toward the center – piece activity is the key

3. Castle

4. Connect your rooks

Tactics...tactics...tactics...

Pre Move Checklist:

1. Make sure all your pieces are safe. 

2. Look for forcing move: Checks, captures, threats. You want to look at ALL forcing moves (even the bad ones) this will force you look at, and see the entire board. 

3. If there are no forcing moves, you then want to remove any of your opponent’s pieces from your side of the board. 

4. If your opponent doesn’t have any of his pieces on your side of the board, then you want to improve the position of your least active piece. 

5. After each move by your opponent, ask yourself: "What is my opponent trying to do?"

play  15 or 30 minute games and do tactics, lots of tactics 

I play 10 min blitz games..

You tell mw not to play blitz but to play 3 min games.. I dont understand..

you need yo play long games, I would recommend 30 minutes no less tbh, so u take time and think about your moves and why you are making them, this is how u get better. also spend 30 minutes a day doing tactics, more if u like 

Sorry, that was supposed to be Play games at least 30 minutes long.

Lmao.. Obviously.. 

But i would love certain tips. The first reply was beautiful.. He put things in order. He lets me see his way of thinking in a game and that helps.. 

I remember being reluctant to analyze my games when I first started because the number of blunders I'd be making. But looking back on it now, analyzing my games along with a passion to get better certainly helped me get out of the triple digits rating wise. 

Very great advice!

you have to believe

I'm just passing 700 myself,  but since I started playing a lot of puzzles, my rating has started to climb. I've only been playing 10 minute games,  but I like the 30 min game or correspondence idea. 

i know i learned a lot from Ben Finegold videos on youtube. He's very funny while he teaches. Other Videos to look for are John Bartholomew and GothamChess. 

do tactics daily to improve

Dear Phantom,

I am a certified, full-time chess coach, so I hope I can help you.   Everybody is different, so that's why there isn't only one general way to learn. First of all, you have to discover your biggest weaknesses in the game and start working on them. The most effective way for that is analysing your own games. Of course, if you are a beginner, you can't do it efficiently because you don't know too much about the game yet. There is a built-in engine on chess.com which can show you if a move is good or bad but the only problem that it can't explain you the plans, ideas behind the moves, so you won't know why is it so good or bad.

You can learn from books or Youtube channels as well, and maybe you can find a lot of useful information there but these sources are mostly general things and not personalized at all. That's why you need a good coach sooner or later if you really want to be better at chess. A good coach can help you with identifying your biggest weaknesses and explain everything, so you can leave your mistakes behind you. Of course, you won't apply everything immediately, this is a learning process (like learning languages), but if you are persistent and enthusiastic, you will achieve your goals.

So, the question you asked is not so easy to answer, but I can tell you one thing for sure. In my opinion, chess has 4 main territories (openings, strategies, tactics/combinations and endgames). If you want to improve efficiently, you should improve all of these skills almost at the same time. That's what my training program is based on. My students really like it because the lessons are not boring (because we talk about more than one areas within one lesson) and they feel the improvement on the longer run. Of course, there are always ups and downs but this is completely normal in everyone's career.

I hope this is helpful for you. Good luck for your chess games!

practice with people in real life to get better or have other people around to help you make moves.

Bullet is crap. No point to worry about its rating.

You guys do realize you revived a 2 year old forum.

its called the internet bud
