. com is not chess
I am very bad at chess, why?
There is a big difference between what you can do off the board and on board. During competition, you need more skills than knowledge.
Absolutely true. Memorizing 100 excellent books on the golf swing is not going to get you into the Masters either

@Laskersnephew’s post #18 is the best advice imo (if phrased a little strongly) if you’re frequently making simple blunders in your games. Others have suggested playing at longer time controls, which will also help a lot.
I was a very strong player when I was a kid and have recently come back to chess after hardly playing for 35 years. Whilst I don’t make basic errors I got battered several times at blitz (5+0) by very average players. I lost on time from winning positions several times before deciding that blitz just isn’t for me right now. I need more game play to familiarise myself before my speed can improve while remaining accurate. That’s probably partly what you need too.
Hope that helps.
I am new and it's hard form me because I don't really know how to practice. Does anybody have any tips for me?

@Amina-Sophie I think the best practice is to play real games. I’d recommend the longer time controls to begin with 30 or 45 mins and daily chess where you can effectively take as long as you like to think, within reason.
Besides those things if you want to improve then you need to learn technique (to then apply in your games). Chess.com has an excellent range of lessons and tools for beginner to advanced levels at least for learning tactics, strategy, patterns, opening principles, etc. I also found the YouTube fundamentals videos by IM John Bartholemew to be really good to remind me of the basics and beyond. The St Louis Chess Club also has lots of great videos for beginners to experts.
People often recommend reviewing your own games, which is a useful way to improve but I always found it tedious when I started out so I wouldn’t say it’s critical

Many untitled are strong. Don't underestimate urself. Search for best amateur player atm. See his ELO. And give us a chance lol

And the fly in the ointment with this is often going to be...okay, so you review your games...if you are a really poor player, are YOU really in any position to figure out what you did wrong and proscribe an antidote for future games? Quite probably not. Ever seen a monkey examining a watch? Not going to get that much out of this approach at this point...
Best for any really poor player:
1. Study 'Solitaire Chess' games...to see how the Pro's "do it"....seeing how a game flows from A to B to C. This I equate to writing a novel (playing a complete game). Studying bit of chess here and a bit there...is like learning to put together a sentence. That is fine....but the goal is to be able to put together a bunch of sentences in a way that makes sense.
2. Practice 'CALCULATION'. Some say 'tactics'...but you have to be able to actually calculate well, to do tactics well (stands to reason...but some don't 'get it'). Simply solving positions (where you already know there is some answer!)...is, lets say, helpful but shortsighted. If you do #1, you get a really good opportunity to actually do this.
3. Study Basic Endgames (about any 'easy' endgame book will do). You need to know what to do with your efforts in a game...what to aim for. Knowing this is a bit like getting in your car to drive some place. If you do not have in your head an idea of where you are headed....not knowing that when you get to a certain exist that you need to turn left...go a quarter mile, then turn right...well, you are floundering in the dark. Not good and very disheartening.
4. Dip into a good BASIC book on Strategy - pick up a little here and there...
5. Play Slower Games...so that you get the opportunity to put what you learn into practice. That is the goal after all...

You could if you have money to blow...but THIS kind of bad play, you can easily correct on your own. Read post above...

I think a more interesting question is why/how are people naturally good at chess?
Remember, hard work always beats talent!
Nice fairytale - it does happen but not too often. I think we just need to settle for the best that each of us can be .
What a fixed mindset you have.

Is a coach the answer? Or should I study more end games?
Thank you for posting these games, I didn't even know how bad he was before posting advice.

I can't improve no matter how much I practice, I was better when I was 7 than I am now, why is this and can anything be done?
At his level, no one should even be breathing the word 'openings'...certainly not up to 3 or 4.
If anything just play a simple Colle opening (or some such) with White...learn to develop and not hang pieces...the 5 points I hit on above will do wonders after a little while.

I agree that learning 3 to 4 openings is ridiculous for someone his level. Even at my level people don't have that many.

@OP Study Basic Tactics. https://www.google.com.tw/amp/s/www.chess.com/amp/article/study-plan-for-beginners-tactics2
Hi xiphos10, I would also suggest you playing more Daily Chess rather than blitz games (let alone bullet chess), because then you have all the time in the world to carefully analyze the board, and think about your next move. It's perfect for improving in chess; it makes you recognize your opponents' threats and create your own ones, and to find out the pros and cons of each opening. And don't forget to do the tactics training, it works! :-)
