I am not very good at chess. I tried to use chess mentor but It doesn't really do anything. Help!

So your problem is that Chess Mentor doesnt work, or do you need help to get started in learning chess?

You need to practice lots and lots of tactics. Also, make sure you know how to checkmate with K+Q vs K, K+R vs K, and basic opening principles. Every move take the time to look for checks and captures for you and your opponent. It's really that simple.

Don't get distracted by silly stuff--like playing super-fast blitz games, memorizing opening lines, advanced strategy, etc. That's how you get stuck at that level. (:

Thats some good tips. I can play you if you want, in a unrated match. I know i am not the best teacher/player, but i know the basic stuff, and can show you if you want. Just challange me or send me a message.
