chess player problems
Sort:
Are you playing more games? Take a break and play less.
The time control is important too. I was playing games with 60 minutes and 30 seconds of increment, but when you are in front of a screen you get tired easily and make terrible blunders, so the rule "more time = better moves" wasn't applicable there. But blitz chess is not good either. IMO if you play too much blitz your thinking process will be "drained" from your brain and your rating will naturally fall.
Therefore my tip is: find the best time control and frequency of games according to your mind. I play 3 games per week with G/30+30' (30 minutes and 30 seconds of increment) and I'm reducing my blunders, feeling improvement, etc.
Of course I'll not play that way forever. But the first step is to avoid common blunders.
How would i be able to give u a link?
But as with the time i just play the turn based online chess, i have plenty of time its just i cant really understand my blunders until they happen i cant see ahead until one of my pieces is already hanged and i cant figure out what my opponent is doing
do you use the tactic trainer? do you look at the book openings? when your opponent moves, do you ask yourself why he move there before your next move?
If you are actually playing Turn-based games it's more easy to learn. I developed my (tactical) thinking process by:
-Learning the tactial motifs. Fork, Double attack, Pin, etc, Distraction, etc. They are all patterns that you can use to gain material (and avoid losing material too). Here's a good list: http://chesstempo.com/tactical-motifs.html.
-Solving Puzzles. It's important to do that because there are a lot of motifs and some of them doesn't occur often in your games. So if you don't have a good pattern recognition it's usual to overlook tactics and even losing games. Also you're not expected to guess the correct move to solve the puzzle, but to calculate the lines and then give the answer. Then you'll improve your calculation and your intuition.
-And playing games, of course.
The thinking process is not just about that, but it's a fine start.
Im having a really bad time atm, im losing alot of games and making mistakes that just shouldnt happen. My ratings are horrible and i cant see anything in the game, im trying to fix it by just playing more games , but im not sure its the best way.. can anyone help?
