I think I'm just bad at chess.

I'm going through this too. I loved chess, I've been studying, watching videos, taking courses, but I just waste money and never seem to improve. I've been stuck at 200-ish for almost a year, and I can't climb. Today I lost 3 games in a row, and it is starting to bleed into my everyday self-confidence. My brain is telling me that I'm not good at anythin,g and the only thing I can do well is listen to what people have to say. I need help

If you suck at Chess, get another hobby. No shame in that.

Maybe just start one game a day on 15 min. timer ones and start to think and start to think longer on which move your gonna take

Sorry double typed some words at the end

The sad thing about chess is, it's not really predictable on how I play in the moment in my experience. Of course outside factors tend to affect your gameplay such as sleep, focus and mindset.

I am too dumb for chess, I’ve been stuck at 100 elo for over 500 games, haven’t one a single one.

Don't think like that..just focus on your goal and learn from your mistake and day by day you will get better

Do you take any of the lessons Chess.com offers? They can be helpful.

Dear person who lost hope,
Chess is not about winning. It is about sportsmanship, practice, patience, and more patience. When I was, what, 6, my rating in lichess was 990. Now, I'm 10, and I have 1400. Chess is about never losing hope, and that's what counts. Thanks!
