I don't see any improvment after training 3'000 problems, are there somerules I should know ???

pay attention to how you lose

Here are few suggestions where you need to improve.

In third move, you played 3.. b3?? 

1. Nc3 control e4 square, so the reason behind Nc3 in this position is to push " e4". 

So. 3. Bg5 is a good threat that pin enemy kt and allowing you to push e4, e5 ( when black play e6)

Just blundered here. allowing Bxc3 and lost

1. e4 is not usually followed by 2. g3?

There are two reasons behind " g3, Bg2" fianchetto

1. To play "c4" - challenging "d5 square of black" and attack Queenside or

2. To play " f4, f5, g4" push in middle game , where bishop is used as a shelter for your king safety.

Your play cound not achieve either of those two goals.

Suggestion.

Please Learn a few opening choices at least for the first " 5 moves for beginners and 10 moves for intermediate players". Learning sound opening will greatly improve your chess.

yes I already noticed that rushing to play is the way to fall very deeply, better take time cuz often i played wrong having not noticed there was one ore more inportant pieces in a corner or somewhere

Hi Drmrboss,

You are totaly right, and I had when I begun playing chess on chess.com only played 2 opening which were the usual e2-e4 and d2-d4 for 6 month certainly, until I discover the book.

So as I am playing 95% daily games, I used that stupid book to start my games and invest in the middle game and final game part of chess. The big problem with that way to play is that in direct mode chess, there is no book avaible to play, which means I am very low rated in blitz and bullet as I know now absolutely no opening really without the help of the book.

The amount of puzzles you attempt is irrelevant, the amount of puzzles you solve correctly is what matters. You said you've done 3000 puzzles, but scoring barely 50% at level 1000 puzzles is very low accuracy. Considering that you spent on average 1 minute per puzzle is not hard to realize why your accuracy was so low.

Just attempting puzzles and doing it over and over again (just counting the amount of puzzles) doesn't help you at all on improving. You need to solve them correctly, which takes time.

Learning chess usually requires deliberate practice and hard work, you have to think and reason so anything you figure out actually sticks with you. A lot of people think they "work hard" because they attempt thousands of puzzles, skim through chess books and play a lot of games. It's not the quantity of the practice that matters but the quality, and deliberate practice is often exhausting - because you have to push your understanding to learn.

Take your time, and instead of trying to learn everything at once, try to learn something in a way that you actually understand it and build up slowly from there. It takes years to become a good chess player, and if you try to short-cut you never will.

If you can't get 85-90% of the puzzles right, you're increasing the difficulty too fast. 

@nexim I have seen my chess improving in the middle and final chess part, when I play daily games. But I am always using the book to control my first moves.

Thats just not possible in direct chess, and I am often making blunders in my first 5 moves except if the time is set to 10 min / 5 sec increment were it gives me a little more time to think.

Openings are my most lack in rapid chess but all that doesnt help anyway in puzzle solving 

how can i increase the difficulty myself, the puzzle is giving more difficult puzzle the more higher my rating is standing ????

No Idea Really why but after having fallen to 900 ends September 2020, I have increased slowly day after day to more than 1500

Maybe all advices that have been given helped me finally, so Thanks

The way I approach training with chess problems is that when I solve a problem, I check to see what tactical was involved and, if it took me a long time to solve it, ask myself why I didn't see the pattern sooner.  If I miss a problem I go back and work it until I solve it, even though I get no points for it. I then do the tactical motif study.

I also use the tactical motifs page available here and at chesstempo.com and make sure I memorize/remember the patterns by name - which creates a "hook" on which to hang the tactic in your brain and makes it easier to retrieve.

Where can I see what tactical was involved ?

Don't look at your pieces. Look at your opponent's pieces. How are they arranged to support each other? What pieces which defend other pieces can be interposed or taken out? Can the opponent's queen or rook be trapped into taking a weaker piece? Is there a check to be applied which discovers an attack? It's all about what the opponent gives you and where the opponent has left himself vulnerable. I've done 17,000 puzzles, and I had a 2100 top score.

Also look at what the opponent has going on against you. If the opponent has mate in 1, every move has to be check or taking the pieces delivering mate against you.

"I’ve noticed that some puzzles are just stupid, meaning the “solution” relies on them making a stupid trade like a queen for a rook so are unsolvable by a better player so it sucks when those count against you."

This is almost never true. It's no disgrace if you can't see why the suggested solution isn't best--we're all here to learn--but you will learn a lot if you try to figure it out.

Whacky

@zumiYstinsit

Thanks for your recommendations, it's that way I have tried to solve them, and it works.

I think it is exactly the right approach to solve these puzzles problems, the difficulty is that there are really many tactical groups, and it's going to take hard work if I will reach a ratio as high as your 2100.

I don't think that going to happen one day but that's the nice thing with Internet, being able to see the personal improvement

What is that nice word, couldn't find the real definition of it (am French speaking)

dingue? cinglé?

@FREEtheBASE2018

Glad I could help. As far as puzzles seeming stupid. Some of these puzzles are made with computer engine verification in mind. There could be an unavoidable series which takes 5 moves to unfold. Sometimes after viewing the engine confirmation I still don't see why the evaluation bar says there's a big advantage. Calculating every possible variation for 5 moves is more work than it's worth so pick your battles and don't let it aggravate you.

I only enter in the problems when nobody seems to be there to play the games, disappointing when 50 games are on the way
