I looked at your most recent lost. You blundered a Knight.
At our levels, blundering is common. Look into videos/course on CCA (aka CCT) Checks, Captures, Attacks (Threats)
Some advanced players don't like CCA, and it isn't worth going into why here, that could be for another thread. But you need help in that area.
1) Don't Blunder
2) Find Tactics.
3) Play slow time controls. 10, 15 and even 30 minute games. Avoid Blitz and Bullet.
You'll start winning.
In the last 90 days, you won 47% of your rapid games and lost 51%.
Your own games don't support that assertion.
I started off as a 100 elo player, not joking!, but now I have hit 2200 on my second account as I closed my first. This proves that anyone can achieve their goals with a target, a mindset and a
plan. Gl with ur improvement
Chess has a tendency to make everyone feel like a beginner at times; this is especially true in the post-game analysis when the computer points out your errors with precision and then you wonder how you could have missed something so obvious... it's because you're human.
I make errors all the time. Over the years, I just make less errors and generally less severe errors (but not always!).
We can play unrated sometime for learning, if you want some tailored advice. As @GothamChess said, "Chess is hard."
Hi everyone.
I'm writing here because Im facing a big problem.
I started playing chess a few months ago, here and on lichess. I challenged myself to improve my chess level and since then I started playing frequently and watching Youtube videos to improve my skills. And it doesn't work. I'm still a bloody noob and I still lose against people who just discovered the game. It just pisses me off and I'm in a very bad mood since a few days ago. I blame myself for my miserable level and I have bad thoughts about myself because of that. When I lose a game (almost everytime), I get mad and I put myself in serious anger. I'm also harsh with my family.
My problem is that, after months of working on it, I'm still a noob and I don't improve. I still do the same mistakes over and over again and I cant take it anymore. I'm at my wist's end.
I blame myself for getting myself into such a catastrophic state over a simple game, but I am unable to accept defeat and I tell myself that if I am so bad at chess, its because I am a miserable person in general and my ego takes a huge hit.
I just need help. I have dark thoughts because of that.
I know that you find it ridiculous but believe me I dont exagerate anything. I really feel a deep painful sensation in my chest in those moments and I just want to broke anyrhing that is in front of me, myself first.
I just need help. Please.
A lot of times the solution is not something you want to hear. The solution for you in this case is for you to experience an ACTUAL big problem. If you seriously believe playing chess poorly is a big problem, you have never had a big problem. Once you actually DO experience a big problem, you will then, and only then, have the experience and perspective to address your chess playing issues.
No amount of books, videos, practice, etc. is going to do the slightest bit of good until you address the core underlying issue, your priorities.

mate based off of what you are doing just stop playing chess and take a refresher for a few months
He is facing people Using engines. I checked the profile of a guy who replied here… and I counted 18 wins In a row …with tons of 90+ acc.
seems non human obv.
its truly despicable how much damage they are doing by using engines destroying the enthusiasm of hundreds of honest chess learners
You aren't going to improve here, majority opponents are either bots or blatant cheaters. Sorry to break it to you, but chess.com is a scam
Dark thoughts and you want to break things?
Do us all a favor: if you're going to shoot up a mall because you lost too many games, give us a quick post warning please. Maybe an hour tip off? I don't want to be shopping somewhere when you blunder your queen and decide enough is enough.
I would stop playing chess and pick up another hobby that doesn't tilt you as much. It's not healthy to get that emotional about online chess
ok

I agree with blackbelt here, if what your saying is true this game is a active threat to your health and wellbeing. This is a game and your life isn't, please quit entirely. I would also seek counseling, because its likely these emotions will occur with other competitive games, and understand I'm not judging you here, if anything I respect you for being, so open and honest, please seek help, because these emotions are very dangerous to you and those closest to you. There are many other healthy activities you could do that would benefit you with your family. Hunting, hiking, fishing, collecting coins, or rocks, watching shows such as anime etc with your loved ones. I wish you well and pray for you my friend. Good luck. Oh by the way black belt I gave you a upvote and I see a down vote currently I think your correct about the bot I would contact support on this.

You and blackbelt are both right. But you forgot to mention the most important substitute hobby, golf.
