Wait for your opponent to hang a piece and then chomp on it.
How can I get to 1500 and more ELO?
Sort:
If you want to increase your rating you should win more games and lose less games

Is there another way to increase the rating in addition to superb "winning more games and losing less games" way?

#27 he knows too that you can only increase your rating by increasing your rating. He asked for tips to increase his winning rate, technically.

Okay, my message got too long for the application, I'll say here the rest:
Here, do NOT use confirm each move setting (except for 5|5, but I don't suggest you that time control). Here you can use your rapid knowledge. One blitz specific advice: Use the clock as your weapon! I won several blitz games on time in a worse position. Don't worry if your blitz rating is much lower than your rapid rating, blitz is generally harder. Time control suggestion: 3|0 or 5|0.

Rating does not matter. You are still a troll. Your advice does not help to get better. I want to have higher rating than you just to prove you wrong!
I would argue that "chomping on hanging pieces" is one of the most important things to do if you want to get better. I don't see why you think that this is bad advice. I listened to this advice and got to 1500 fairly easily. Don't make false accusations that someone is trolling. Also, I think he is more qualified to give advice than you, given his rating and experience in the game of chess.

Learn exactly how to think in the opening, middlegame and endgame — this is what I teach.
Always blunder-check your moves.
Solve tactics in the right way.
Analyze your games.
Study games of strong players.
Learn how to be more psychologically resilient.
Work on your time management skills.
Get a coach if you can.

My tip above is a joke but it is not better and not worse than other tips given in threads like this
If the OP really wants to improve but cant manage his own learning by himself (it is normal) there is a good old-school way: to find a coach who would analyse the OP's current capabilities and manage further studying

This is true, Fetoxo should stop accusing people of trolling

#33 but still, he just asked for advice, and you just joke it away. This is the definition of trolling. I was the only one who seemed to care about his real needs.

I guess this is true but you can't say that"Chomping on hanging pieces" is a troll. That really is one of the most important things in the 1000-1100 range.

Also, HangingPiecesChomper's whole motto is that chomping on hanging pieces got him to 2400 elo, and he can back it up. Him giving advice that has helped him is not a troll.

But he says that you only need that. And that's not true. Imagine someone without any experience. People don't blunder away whole pieces every game, or if they do, you will eventually stop seeing it as you move up. And you also need good positional chess and tactics. Sometimes it's not hanging in 1 move, maybe it's a fork or a more complicated pattern.

What you are saying is very true. But also I have looked at the OP's games and someone hangs a pieces almost every game.

#39 there are exceptions. But you won't play one player every time you play. You will face thousands of players with different playstyle, weaknesses and strengths. Also, sometimes I'm hanging my pieces like crazy too, when I'm tired. Sometimes I do the Botez Gambit too. XD

You, a 1500 elo player hang pieces occasionally as well so this just proves the point that taking hanging pieces is crucial.
Play with low rating like yourself!! Play a lot of blitz 5min. Click play..tournaments..5min blitz and play there for hours. Blitz serves only to learn to play chess and to sharpen your simple thinking process. Anyway avoid hidden Gm trolls. They learn by memory books over books and have nothing to do with the inventors of those lines of play. You cant beat them without learning a lot of opening theory. They dont think chess but they are destroying memory machines.
