I am completly lost

oc what we REALLY need is the ole fight between Blitz and Standard .

obviously.

what I noticed is.... Tout dit en français, est meilleur et plus réfléchie.

I never play blitz, I don't get why people are insisting telling me not to play blitz cuz it's already the case

Merovwig j'ai mi un 1700 approximatif parce que j'ai 1800+ ici et 1900+ sur lichess, et que je rivalise avec des 2000+, mais ces derniers temps je fais que perdre

Il ne faut pas trop se fier aux classements des sites en ligne, ils varient beaucoup selon les sites, et sont rarement représentatifs des elo réels, surtout quand il n'y a pas de distinction blitz/partie rapide/partie longue.

Pour ce qui est de ta progression, je persiste: principes de bases des ouvertures, finales élémentaires et exercices tactiques. Et c'est contre-productif de se focaliser comme un dingue sur l'apprentissage d'une phase de jeu. Par exemple, rien ne sert d'avaler un livre entier sur les finales. Il vaut mieux faire un apprentissage progressif dans chaque phase.

De manière générale, un bon manuel de stratégie, léger et agréable à lire serait "Stratégies gagnantes aux échecs" par le grand maître Yasser Seirawan.

Si tu perds souvent contre des joueurs beaucoup plus faibles que toi depuis quelque temps, c'est peut-être que ton esprit est ailleurs. Les échecs réclament concentration et sérénité.

Je rejoins hicetnuc, fatigue, esprit ailleurs...

Il est aussi reconu que une baisse d'elo est un signe indicateur d'un futur passage de marche de niveau. On se reconstruit donc une perte de niveau.

Merci pour le livre Merovwig !

Vous devez avoir raison, une petite pause ça peut faire du bien.

   Now I'M completely lost  Je non parle francais, Je compren un petit

The best way to improve is first ask yourself.."Why am I here?" Then you may uncover the reasons for wanting to beat someone at a game of chess, do you have a desire to hurt people? Does checkmating a fellow chess player make you smile? Maybe you are a terrible person who never shall achieve enlightning, such as I have. I have hope for you however, the need and desire to make people feel bad for a while is something that disturbs me. Maybe you are losing games because you hate yourself and feel you need no victory? Playing like a horrible version of Nakamura, perhaps you have some good qualities after all, allowing yourself to taste defeat could mean you may yet care about your fellow chess players, I must beg you to look into yourself furthur. Why are you doing this, why do you need to hurt peoples feelings? Ask and you shall find the answers, they lie inside your dark soul.

your wierd IM.

have you ever thought that you played a great game of chess, so your opponent would have a good lesson about how to play this game better?

just as an alternative way of looking at the game.

He's not weird at all. He's trying to find one's deepest underlying motivation for playing chess. 

Have you ever played chess not to win but to draw ! & strived to create complex interesting postions ? Treating winning as secondary is a beautiful thing. IOW's, you're trying to find the artistic-expressive side of chess....where noone feels hurt & dissatisfied w/ the result.

Have you ever noticed that almost all the best games in history seem to be like this ?

IM's right on the golden buzzer on this one. 

IMHO, the "best" games of chess are ones that seems like a Tie- but with creativie pattern-recognition, one side realizes that he can create a startling and forced win, from practically nothing.

often from from a startling sacrifice.

that, then becomes a lesson in the complexity and subtle nature of weakness on the chess board.

I see that as the point of a chess game.  not as an insulting ego-trip, but as an expression of artistic vision like you are saying. 

and more proof of this is that while draws happen everyday- wins excite people and are remembered for years and years--- the evergreen game, the immortal game.

these are wins not draws.

There's some philosophical stuff to think about indeed. Well, I guess as a lot of player I play mostly to win, but playin to draw can be interesting as well!

You are lying.

If you were the Pope, then you would forgive anyone- moronic frauds like Najgrunfeld included.

This thread over and over. Let's be honest, why would anyone want you to improve? We play against you.  Your improvement is someone else's performance loss.

Why would we help you? I'm certainly not biased towards you rather than the people out there you'll be playing against.  

I have no desire to see you improve, if anything I hope you don't improve and get stuck. This is the logically consistent view to hold. 

Najgrunfled hasnt answered my proposals, I think I will adultnapp him.

The op has asked a very interesting question, but this question must be looked into deeper. Why are you playing this game? The desire to hurt someone and make them feel inferior? Win or lose the question will always be there lurking in the back of your brain. Did you allow yourself to lose? Did you somehow feel a tad bit of pity towards your opponent who squandered his queen, and you allow a clock to countdown, ticking off the final few minutes of a game that will be around forever? You have to find your reasons, inside yourself first. Why do I play? Why did I lose? Why not accept a draw? How do I feel as I complete a game I should know better, because I will lose this game, Is that right? You need to find reasons for victory and reasons for playing this game first, The long road to improvement is actually waiting for you afterwards look inside you, see you for what you really are. Love you or hate you, You must be satisfied with the answers, then the road to enlightment is ready to be traveled.

Sheep are always lost! Go find a shephard.

Yes, you're probably better than IM pfren, but you're not 13 years old. So straighten up & knock it off.
