I need help learning how to play better

I honestly want to learn how to play better at chess, not just mess around in fast games. The more I play, the more I realize there’s a huge difference between just moving pieces quickly and actually understanding what’s going on in a position. I want to get to a point where I’m not just relying on instinct or speed, but actually recognizing patterns, planning ahead, and knowing why a move is good or bad.

I’d really like to build real fundamentals  openings I actually understand, middlegame ideas, endgames, all of it. I know improvement takes time, but I’m ready to slow down, study more, and focus on getting consistent. I want to be able to look back a few months from now and see real progress in my play, not just random spikes from lucky fast games.

So yeah, I genuinely want to learn and get better at chess, and I’m willing to put in the work for it.

So if anyone would be able to help me that would be amazing 

I appreciate your dedication to improving your chess skills, focusing on understanding positions, recognizing patterns, planning ahead, and grasping the fundamentals of openings, middlegame ideas, and endgames.

Now it's not AI It's just a message to clarify your misunderstanding

@Just_an_average_player136 What if he/she is using his/her by his own words, calm down, don't create misunderstanding.

Stop chasing openings. Start mastering chess principles. I’ve seen players improve faster this way—message me if you want guidance!

Yeah sure I smell AI in the long message you sent

My built in AI detector is going crazy

Dude, all messages of tactix_edge are obviously AI. What misunderstanding?

That said, spamming AI-generated nonsense has became a norm on chess.com. See ChessMasteryOfficial above.

I never would have thought chess.com would help me hone my AI detection skills

survival puszzle rush

How much times I have to say... I used AI only for correction of grammatical mistakes and ensuring maximum understanding....

What's the problem of AI for that ?

I mean what's the problem of using AI for that ?
