i suggest you to play long time games. 15+10 or 30 minutes are perfect.

 semi- new player?

 

I see a brand Spakin' new player.  with possibly of a touch of the niave.

 

playing casual players in college and later.  I felt like I was a winner; until I stumbled onto the online and OTB chess world.

 

even online strong opposition seems to be as little as 700-800.   this website is full of the world's chess players and not folks that barely know how the pieces move.

 

beyond the casual chess whompers; are the "club" players that whomp those guys and yet more fantastically the god like chess masters that whomp them.

 

to level up means not just playing for a while but truly understanding what wins and loses a chess game.  start with "tactics"
