I play and I lose, then I win a bit and lose again...:( I can not overcome the fact that even if I try I tend to do the same mistakes, I can not see posibble moves,threats etc, I can not memorise theoptionand if I do there are too many scenarios...I give up on development. I like chess but will play just for fun from time to time and forget the rating. so if you come across me do not expect much of a challange:)

Playing rapid instead of blitz will improve your game and, less importantly, help your rating. Blitz is a little helpful, but develops bad habits

I see you played 1.e4 e5 2.f3? in your last 3 day game. It's all about learning as you go along. So given what happened in that game this is one thing that you can say you will never do again.

Just enjoy and learn a little bit at a time !

the problem is that it is hard for me to memorise all of it:), especially that each game is different after few moves

can we play?

HA.

 

Just kidding. yeah its a brutal game!  but don't treat it as SUCH a battle of ego.  Its not ego you lack its - concentration, clear thought process, time management, tactical awareness.... etc

 

regarding LAST post- Don't memorize Stuff! and try to develop pieces rather than weak pawn moves - thats why f3- sticks out.  its weak- in the opening you need to get all your pieces out.

No need to memorise masses of things bud. You need the basic principles to guide you. Control the centre, develop your pieces to active squares, castle your king early, look for weak pieces or squares of your opponent and attack them. And most importantly don't lose your stuff! Ask yourself why your opponent played his move before replying.

people SAY that- but

not that I want to frustrate chess.com's business plans or anything

I don't agree.  most people are held back by Motivation.  motivation to study, motivation to do more (or any) chess tactics.  to understand a basic endgame. to look and see what could have saved their game.

 

not "buying" is going to fix that.  FIRST find the motivation- Then Buy Exactly what resource you feel will work.

 

the OP is feeling demotivated- and happens to ... well ME. (I won't speak to other people)

but chess has another side too.  I'm been winning recently and it feels GREAT.

 

NO MEMORIZATION

there if you pay attention to Anything I've said....

upgrade your chess.com account only way to improve for now I guess

aside from the bottom line, (because I already upgraded mine) I feel the same way as you do zut. I usually play chess as a hobby and not a big thing.

I just gave him that advice because he got no motivation because nobody to guide him man atleast after upgrading he will try hard for his money to learn at least good chess

ok.

possibly.  but JUST saying.  go to Youtube.  Lookup John Bartholomew.  look at this games against low rated players...

you can learn SO MUCH from that guy. and its utterly free!

there's Alot of free and inexpensive guidance if one has the motivation-

I can give other suggestions.  but they would be wasted on an OP that really doesn't feel like studying.

Yo bro.. if you change your whole perspective to your play, 'alter what you have already claimed' about your ability with chess you'll begin to increase your awareness to more available moves because you'll start to break away the 'claim' to your game.

 

Chess is a psyche type game, and your view you hold to losses, instead of seeing you win in losses if you gained any experience from that particular game to avoid in following duals, places you right where you are presently with chess, and if you can keep the positive mindset each loss in time you'll see indefinitely how much they've helped your positioning.

 

Just to share with you... I, for 2 years straight, always gave my opponents white hospitably so and when I decided again to play I thought creating my own tactic would be a good idea. One reason is because I will never read a thing as to chess moves or tactics because that to me seems it would completely remove the whole point as to why I like chess, the maneuvering and defense through gained experience on the site, yes I had different accounts in the past. Anyways I am extremely glad I decided to make my own tactic and have become a much stronger chess player without a single page read on a move or tactics...

 

I also like listening to some psybient chillstep type positive vibe rhythm blaring as loud as possible on headphones to block out any distraction directed my way.

why f3 is not good it develops the knight, I saw that in some lossons here, what would be better ?

Avatar of Strangemover

No, moving the pawn to f3 does the opposite of develop the knight. f3 is the most natural square put the knight on because from there it hits the central squares e5 and d4 and you should try to control the centre. By putting a pawn there you are obstructing your own piece development. Additionally that move achieved nothing and so was also a waste of tempo - or time if you like. It is important not to make moves which don't really do anything because your opponent WILL make moves which do something and you end up having to dance to his tune. Eg. He attacks something, you must defend it with a piece. Now you cannot use that piece actively and your options are reduced. Thirdly, you are exposing your own king with f3 as in the game I mentioned he quickly routed you with mate on f2. So after 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 is the most natural move because it develops a piece to its most active square and also attacks the pawn on e5.
