I suck?

I used to play chess with my friends ALL the time before COVID. I wasn’t amazing at it, I would have my fair share of losses, but I could definitely win a game or two. So I picked up this game to test my skills. I can’t do scratch! I always feel outsmarted, even when I go in with a game plan! And when I do the lesson tutorials in real matches, my opponent always outsmarts me. Can I have a teacher or SOMEONE, to play with me, and give me advice on what I am doing wrong? Thanks in advance! :p

Meh, ok, it's easy to give some tips. I'll do the thing where after 3 beginner-level mistakes I stop looking at the game.

Is there a way I can play against you?

Sure, but I'm about to go to sleep, so not right now happy.png

When you wake up, lol, how could I play against you?

Either one of us can send the other a challenge. When that happens the other one gets a notification and they can click accept or decline.

I'll play against you too, if you want.

We’re you playing over the board before COVID? Sometimes it’s hard to transition from OTB chess to online chess.

I can play to if that's okay. I'm not that good either, I guess we both have something to learn!

Only way to get better is to practice and study the theory

That's not very nice man

It's all about perspective, I'm probably noob to GM's but proud of my own skill, it's important not to shame yourself, but not to have too big of an ego either. I started 6 months ago, and gained about double my rating (Self-proclaimed XD) But yeah, I'd be happy to help sometime :DDD

I think you need to play at least 20 games to be accurately placed with a rating.

You don’t suck, you just need to play against your current skill level.

I played chess before COVID yeah. And it really hurts when I start losing the game 2 minutes in the game
