i suck at chess

Do you also need help getting a PhD?

You should play and analyze longer games, study tactics and endgames, and learn from your mistakes by reviewing games to identify weaknesses. always use game review after a chess match and you should learn an opening too.

As a certified chess.com GM, you should play and analyze longer games, study chess.com tactics and chess.com endgames, and learn from your chess.com mistakes by chess.comingly reviewing your chess.com games to chess.comingly identify weaknesses. always use chess.com game review after a chess.com chess match and you should learn a chess.com opening too, from the chess.com lessons.

Also I'm a chess.com GM, so you can definitely assure I am not chess.com kidding.

Wow, you're so chess.com. As someone struggling to play chess, this advice changed my life forever. Thank you, Grand Ma.

Don't focus on the goal, focus on the work

Play nothing but speed chess and memorize openings. Youll be a GM in 3 months.

Yep, posting this in chess.com forums instead of actually studying might not make you a Grandmaster but you can bait them into replying to your posts, you might even call yourself the baiter of the Grandmasters

Hello everyone, I am friends with many titled players and actually have a friend who is dating a FM right now. Based on their advice, here are 5 tips I have for you:

1: Develop your pieces: Developing your pieces is one of the most important parts of chess. After moving a central pawn, the first piece you should develop is your king to put it in front of your pawns and pieces. The king makes a great leader for his army, just like how Shivaji led his army to victory.

2. Protect your pawn chain with your bishop: If you put your pawns on the same color as your bishop, your bishop will be able to keep your pawns safe from capture. You generally want your bishop to be the same color of your pawn chain, because that helps make sure your opponent can't chomp on your hanging pawn, which brings me to the next:

3. Use the Grob as your main opening system: The Grob is an exciting and tactical opening system which offers White good chances for an advantage. The Grob goes 1.g4 followed by Bg2 and c4. This system was played by Claude Bloodgood, the undisputed best player in the USCF. In fact, I took lessons from him, and that leads me to number 4:

4. Analyze GM Claude Bloodgood's games: Bloodgood had a brain qualitatively different from us mere mortals; he was solving sudoku puzzles at the age of 2 and speaking in full sentences at the age of 1. His moves have a deep strategy to them, and there is a particular geometric brilliance that often takes days to fully grasp, especially if you are rated 2000 or below. Try and develop this sense; while you will never be as good as Bloodgood (he was one-in-a-century level brilliant), you can still glean a lot of info from the games.

5. Chomp on hanging pieces: Skill in chess is determined by the speed one chomps on hanging pieces. To remediate this problem, choose bullet as your main time control, and try to calculate and play as fast as possible. Becoming elite at bullet signifies great intuition, enabling you to spot the hanging pieces and chomp it faster.

Good luck in your OTB games! Feel free to reach out for advice.

As the saying goes: Ask a stupid question. Get a stupid answer.

See this article on Chess.com:

In his Book "Mammoth Book of Chess" in the F.A.Q.'s Graham Burgess answers the question about becoming a G.M. In short he says he has never known of someone taking up chess later in life becoming a G.M.

I was intrigued myself as to what it would take to become a G.M. just purely from the number of games you need to play, but that ranges from 2500 (if you're a prodigy) to 18,000.
BUT, and it's the key, it's NOT how many games you play, it's how much you learn from them. Do you analyse the games you have lost to learn from your mistakes? For over 40 years I have been playing chess but not STUDYING my games and seeing where I went wrong, therefore I haven't improved much from when I was first learnt how the pieces move. (That's changing now of course because I really am trying to study my games to improve).

did you grind puzzles yet

nah i already have one of those

ya

You are not.

Meanwhile, there is that intermediate state:

GranPatzer.

1. Make some research what chess grandmaster title actually means before you write random claims. You could also write “gimme tips to get Nobel prize at astrophysics “.

2. Start to work on your psychological resilience. To create a thread to write “i suck at whatever” is definitely not the way to get any good at whatever.
