PLEASE don't use "get up elo". Just use the words "how to raise". Once you change your style of grammer EVERYONE on chess.com will be happier.

You can get up elo by learning different tactics and such, out of most of your games what do you seem to struggle with? Have u gotten to endgames or did your matches brawl out in middlegames and end in a win/draw/lost. I need more context for my 400 elo to help.

Some tips, based on a few of your games that I looked at:

1. Don't resign on move 2.

2. Don't resign in an equal position.

3. Don't resign.

4. If your opponent threatens mate-in-1, don't let him do it.

5. If your opponent attacks a piece, don't let him take it.

In general, don't play random moves. Use your time and think. And don't resign.

*happier. Not "much more happy."

Thanks for correcting my mistakes.

Practice what people actually tell you. Nobody ever gets to their full chess potential just by hearing a few tips. It's the practice that makes you a bit better. You don't learn from a lost game by simply saying "Oh I'm so stupid, Imma do better next time. ". No, the way to be good at chess is not to hope you're good and ready, it's actually just learning how to not be bad. So if you really want to get better at chess, learn, practice, pray (optional if you're an atheist) and play.

My tips to be not below average (also called how to not be below 700 chess.com elo):

Introduction > Acknowledge that the key to grow from the "new-to-chess brain" is all on your head

Learning chess in general > Learn general chess tips from lessons (not on forums because most people here are not chess masters) - Watch the chess.com beginner lessons and learn or if you're rich then hire a chess coach. - It's at the Learn icon then at the Lessons section.

Learning from games > Post your games and ask for criticism and if someone gives good critiques then learn from it, eat that shi from the top to the bottom. - If you don't know what a good critique is, it's when some teaches you how to not make the mistake.

And your statement is based on what?

You are wrong. I randomly checked a few of the OP's lost games. The guy resigned on move 2, in another game he resigned in an equal position, in another he blundered countless pieces, and in another game he allowed a mate-in-1.

These are exactly the reasons why he lost those games.

Just don't blunder or fall for scholars mate, and don't resign, and learn more tactics.

Clearly, Magipi is having a bad day.

What he said should just be ignored.

Telling people to not resign is Rude!

Magipi is promoting Rude behavior as advice?

Very unusual seeing such advice given by Magipi.

——————————————

A person should know when they are beat!

It is completely unsportsmanlike to continue playing a truly lost position with no compensation.

——————————————

How outrageous would it be if Grand Masters decided to play out King vs. King + Rook positions to the bitter end. Chess is a Gentleman Game!

You shouldn’t do these atrocities on chess board!

It’s a matter of manners and decency!
