I'm tired of losing

well rn I've just been doing the 5 daily tactics. they're pretty difficult. I downloaded an app to do tactics. I mean I know nothing is easy, unless your like gifted or something. but other than that I play like 10 or 15 10 min. games a day

I try to review my gsmes. mostly my wins.

I tried to read a book on chess but it was all the basics. I learned the "queen on color" rule and ranks are diagnal and files are vertical

their aren't that many books about it at my local library, except for like 1 or 2 Bobby Fischer books.

I also tried to memorize the square shades but it's really difficult. like a1 is dark a8 is light, h1 is light and h8 is dark, and so on. those were easy

Noted

start with opening preparation, if you know all openings and all lines, follow up comes easy. i started with 1100, it was pretty difficult at first then i studied openings after that it was easy to play. 

watch the chess fundamental  series by john bartholomew at youtube. you will learn a lot from that.

well start winning.lol

Well, welcome to chess! On average, regardless of what level you are playing at, you will lose about as many games as you will win.  Better get used to it early!

Seriously though, people could help you, but you need to elaborate first on what is going wrong in your games. Playing games with you could work for those who have time for it, but it would also help if you posted some games here and your analysis of them, so we could both see how you play and what your thinking process is like.

Focus on memorizing some references. For example, it helps to remember that kingside fianchetto'd bishop is on the same square color as the player's pieces, while the queenside fianchetto's one is on the opposite color. The queen is on the square of the same color as the player's pieces, while the king is on the opposite one. The a1-h8 large diagonal is black, the a8-h1 one is white. The a3-f8 diagonal is black because the a1-h8 diagonal is black and the a3-f8 one is an even number of squares away vertically.

Challenge yourself regularly on the board geometry. Ask questions like, "What color is the f5 square?", "What are all squares of the longer diagonal starting with a2 and what is their color?", "How many squares can the f7 knight move to and what are those squares and their color?" This is something many, even strong, players neglect, but eventually you will start "feeling" the board geometry and it will help with your both tactical and strategical vision immensely.

If you look in Lev Alburt's Russian Style chess course, he has students doing this sort of thing before he is done teaching all the rules of the game!

That's interesting, I never thought of purposely trying to study the geometry of the board. I know most of the square colours, or can quickly figure them out, but it just came from reading chess books and making the moves on a board, and recording games I played at a chess club and also when I used to play Chess Titan. 

For example, I know f6 is black, I just know it, but if you asked me the colour of f5, in my head I would quickly think something like, "f6 is black, f5 must be white." But actually studying the geometry sounds like a good idea. Chess is a war game - you need to know your turf! I may have to look for Lev Alburt's books to learn more about this, to learn more about what board features to look at. Thanks posters!
