Learning deficits come in all kinds guys maybe the kid may not be the reading or studying type🙀 whaaaaa how can you be a chess player with skills without studying books!?😱😱 Takes time and passion you did make major mistakes in your game☠️ DO NOT FOCUS on THOSE mistakes☠️☠️ instead think how Aizen is trying to say watch your Movements, control the center board. And my Top three Rules: 1.MOVING ON THE RIM IS GRIM IN THE OPENING 10 moves 2. CONTROL CENTER WITH ADVANTAGEOUS GOALS OF EARNING POWER PIECES 3. Castle EARLY and to your benefit if most of your enemy pieces are on your kings side do not king side castle go queen side

There are a lot of other issues with your play here too, but let's now move to the next big mistake: 12... Nxf2. Why did you play that? Your Knight on a5 is under direct threat from White's Queen but the other Knight isn't at risk at all. What's more, it should be very clear that the King or Bishop can take on f2 to capture the Knight, so you are giving away a piece for a pawn. What was going through your mind here?

I can answer all of your question, why did I make these mistakes?

Because I suck. I was shit at this game when I was 10 and I'm dhit now. Everything I do is bad. Despite how much I search and read upon putting it into practise I don't make a single right move. Under the time limit I am forced to stress and I'm unable to see the proper board because of it. In the end it comes down to the fact I suck at this game and I should give up already.

Serious Lightning, Reading and playing others might be your handicap specially if your focused on a bot, Bots can give pros issues. Try instead music, listen to your fave songs get into a tempo as you move into the board, remove the frustration of sucking, play for the fun of the game, learn from that mistake you made and try again

By the looks of your play, but perhaps more so by your responses, you seem to currently be in a state of mind where it all doesn't matter and you just do what you want rather than making rational decisions.

Someone has dissected your recent game and pointed you to improvable points, by asking you to question yourself why you played a certain move. Yet, you respond by saying you did it 'because you suck'. If that's the case with the moves you played, you need a fundamentals course on chess (piece movement and value) before going into more in depth stuff, and perhaps you dove into that way too quickly.

However, I can't stress enough (as do others), do be comprehensive towards answers and people trying to give some assistance because otherwise there's no use in it.

I guarantee you’re not checking your opponents possible responses to your candidate moves.

Nothing fancy just basic safety checks.

You can read all the books in the world but if you’re not doing this it’s useless.

I have. I've done every single training course on every single app and website I've found. I'm just too stupid to be able to do anything efficiently. I watch other peopls games but it doesn't help. I prsctise against friends IRL and I get my ass kicked, I go on bots and gets my ass kicked, I go against people on here and. Guess what? I get my ass kicked!

Sounds like a pretty normal chess experience to me. Everyone starts out losing all the time. I certainly did and was also horrible for years. Here's a few recomendations

1. https://www.danheisman.com/articles--blogs.html Check out this guys articles, they might be helpful.

2. Have you looked into signing up for actual chess tournaments in your area and what is going on in the chess community there? Playing tournament games at longer time controls is a great thing to do for improvement(so long as you can stomach the losses.) And being around a community of people who are better, listening to how they talk and think about the game can help. Also, in my experience I tend to be more invested and work harder at games like that.

3. Do you regularly review your games after playing them to identify why you lost? Particularly which types of tactical shots you missed. If you do then you can drill the tactical patterns you are missing.

4. Do you know all the opening principles? Do you apply them correctly in your games?

I see you haven't done a single tactics problem. Tactics is said to be 80% of chess at the non-master level. It's important to know certain tactics and positional patterns. For examplle, if you don't know the differences and similarities between the Dovetail Mate and the Swallows Tail mate, or can't explain how an X-Ray Attack, a Skewer and a Pin differ from each other, you are cheating yourself out of the tools you need to do well in chess.

I suggest you memorize as much as you have time for from these interactive pages:

https://www.chess.com/article/view/chess-tactics--definitions-and-examples

https://chesstempo.com/tactical-motifs.html

https://chesstempo.com/positional-motifs.html

It's also important to have a basic understanding of opening and endgame principles and have a repertoire of openings through the first several moves where you understand the ideas behind the openings so you'll know what to do when you or your opponent leave the "book" (time-tested master-loved variations).

Additionally, most chess players don't have a clue about where their openings are going to take them, so it will give you an edge to put yourself in a position where you will know what to do in the middlegame. I love this book, written by a 2200 rated player, and recommend it for anyone at any level below International Master:

Chessmaster Fred Wilson’s 4 principles from his excellent book Simple Attacking Plans where the 4 principles are demonstrated by 36 annotated games:

I have come to believe there are only four essential, even primitive, concepts which you must learn and understand in order to play successful, attacking chess - Fred Wilson

In the opening, whenever justified, relentlessly attack the weak squares f7 or f2.
Most successful kingside attacks are directed against the squares h7 or h2, and they are often preceded by eliminating or driving off its defender. Corollary: most successful attacks require a long queen move.
If your opponent’s king is trapped in the center, make every reasonable effort to open and dominate the e-file, and sometimes the d-file also.
If possible, point all your pieces at your opponent’s king.
