I need a chess coach. Real bad.

i dont know how to play chess and i need someone to help me understand what to do 

Do you have 5$ hourly to pay the coach?

I’ll give it to you for free. 1: review your games. 2: try not to play fast time controls. 3: 99% percent accuracy is better than a brilliant move. ALSO, PLEASE JOIN THE CLUB THE COOL GUYS 1234567890 COOL

thats not helpful. i literally review my games and still cant find what i did wrong.

You can’t find what you did wrong because you are not so experienced in the game of chess, only when you get to 800+ you will find some mistakes, and at my elo (1200) you can see most mistakes. Most of the mistakes you probably do are straight up blunders or giveaways of full pieces. One way to avoid this is to just check all your moves for anything that your opponent may do. Another way you can avoid this is to just play chess and you will get used to it and you can also try blindfold chess which will make you remember where opposing pieces are without looking at them much and not blundering. This will carry you on to 800 on which you have to seriously improve other areas.

blitzinhoo. You need to know the basics:

1. Understand the value of the pieces and when they are attacked. For example, what is a safe square to move a piece and what is not.

2. The final purpose of the game is checkmate, so get to know some checkmate patterns.

3. Get to know tactics: forks, pins, skewers and discovered attacks, as well as a few others like overworked pieces.

4. When your piece is attacked there are 5 things you can do:

• Move it to a safe square
• Capture the attacker
• Interpose (only if the attacking piece is a queen, rook or bishop)
• Defend it. That works only if the piece attacking yours is of equal value or greater value. Defending it means you are prepared to give up your piece but the one that captures it will be captured back. If it is your king under attack (in check), defending it is not an option.
• Counterattack. Instead of any of the above, attack something of theirs that is at least as valuable. That also doesn't work if you are "in check".

With regards to "defending", you need to understand some counting of numbers of attackers and defenders as well as the value. If you hear Hikaru say "takes, takes.." in his analysis, even he sometimes has to calculate through various captures to work out who ends up better.

The same if you are thinking of capturing one of your opponent's pieces. Is it adequately defended?

5. With regards the opening moves, the primary tactics are 3 fold: control the centre, bring out the pieces to good lines and ensure king safety generally by castling. And in general avoid bringing the queen out too early where it can be attacked, and avoid moving the same pieces more than once until you have completed your development.

6. With regards end-games, especially once you get more advanced, many of them will revolve around promoting one of your pawns to the end of the board where it will become a queen. And you'll need to know how to checkmate with king + queen alone verses king as well as king + rook alone verses king. So learn how to execute those.

If you are ahead on development, you could move your pieces forward and create threats

Pick one such game.

As someone else has said, stick to slower time controls and I would suggest 15+10.

Do you do tactics on here? You can try 5 minute puzzle rush. Regular puzzles on here are restricted for non-premium members (although there are other websites that offer them unlimited for free).

I know some tactics, like greeks gift, pinning, zugzwang, forking, counter attacking, sacrificing pieces for checkmates or material advantage. Other than that, i don't really know any openings, as black or white.

chomp on hanging pieces

#10 excellent advice, couldn’t have said it better

Just stop playing short time-ranged, understand the value of pieces, and do game review to see the explanation

Watch out for all the conditions, and STOP RESIGNING FOR NO REASON

You are right. I could write you an essay but no need to reinvent the wheel. I highly recommend you search youtube for chessbrah habits series. Start from the beginning. I know this might seem like a lazy response but honestly, I think you will get more out of that series than anything I could put in this forum post.

1. Play with 15|10 time control. That should be the main one you use, and the importance of the |10 means you get 10 seconds added to your clock after every move. That means if the game drags on you will not simply lose by running out of time.

2. It is generally better not to resign games simply because you lose material. Firstly, at this level your opponent may blunder it back. If they don't, you may learn something from their technique on how they converted it to a win, and that will help you do the same in the future.

Your most recent game I can see, which was 30|0 (not my recommended time control)

Be6 is a blunder because it allows your opponent to play d5 which will fork your bishop and knight. That means your opponent will win a minor piece for a pawn, which is a good exchange for them.

Bxa3 is a blunder because it gives up your bishop for a pawn. A bishop is worth more than a pawn. In normal circumstances, you should either capture the knight or move the bishop back to be out of danger. In this case, capturing the knight is the only correct move as it gives check, so your opponent has to recapture, and then you can do something about the fork you allowed last move (i.e. a move the defends against d5)

bro ur so bad lol.
