I'm kinda bad at chess, I keep losing and I do classes, but I still lose how to get better?

Hey guys, I remember making a post over a year ago about why I am so bad at chess. I suck at everything in life. Sport and especially chess. I can't seem to win in anything and chess is one of those things. I remember asking you guys tips, I tried them but for some reason I still suck so badly at this game. You guys can make fun of me all you want in the comments, I don't really care. Honestly, I suck at everything in life but I just don't wanna suck so badly at just ONE thing. Please help me and don't please tell me to quit because that will add to me perception of myself as a failure.

I recognize you are discouraged, but you are being too harsh on yourself. Both with this thread and your self-criticism in the profile.

Chess is not about IQ. It's also something you can definitely improve at if you are willing to stay determined and not give up. What specific things have you tried to improve your chess so far? Tell me what your habitual chess routine looks like. Do you attempt the chess.com Daily Puzzle? Do you analyze your chess games? Are you playing online games fairly often (ideally longer time controls at least 10 minutes per side)? It's difficult for anyone to improve if they aren't investing enough effort into the right things, or if they get discouraged too easily.

I know but 309 is not a good rating for playing 1 year of chess

Says who? Rating progression is different for everyone. Some people get to 1000+ rating quickly and others take years to cross even 500 or 600. The first year or two is also not necessarily indicative of your long-term progress. Some people gain lots of rating and then plateau and quit chess; others struggle for a long-time and then have a breakthrough phase where they shoot up in rating.

Practice is one thing, but the world plays different every game. Positivity is your first priority. You will lose games, that's just how you get better every time. Also how long have you been playing? Says online May of 2024. Your just starting out. Look at me for example I cant get out of the 200's and I've been playing for quite some time. The advice I would give you is to look ahead of the plays of your opponent and don't be so aggressive. Being defensive can land you wins. DO NOT GIVE UP! Stay positive. You have a great support team here!

Thank you bro!

Bro I got better now. I learned about pawn structures and why you shouldn't double on pawns. Thanks so much @22Dane, @KeSetoKaiba, @kindaspongey, @leto and @LASA2800

You can't. As much as it sucks to hear, chess just might not be your thing.

Learn exactly how to think in the opening, middlegame and endgame — this is what I teach.
Always blunder-check your moves.
Solve tactics in the right way.
Analyze your games.
Study games of strong players.
Learn how to be more psychologically resilient.
Work on your time management skills.
Get a coach if you can.

Do a rule for rapid where you must count to 10 before moving unless you have less than a minute left, watch the GMs play.

do you like chess, and are you in it for fun, or to become FM?

first of all chess has nothing to do with being smart especially below 2000 it is all pattern recognition. I have known really good chess players that are stupid people so when u do a puzzle or a lesson or watch someone else do a tactic of some sort ask urself why it worked and figure out the pattern to recreate it.

huh? how is he diddy? he's a popular chess coach

I just like it. But I might try to be FM if I do get good.

Eat, sleep, and exercise. Play at least one rapid game a day. Try your best to win each game. You will realize how your chess will improve a lot. At that level, taking chess lessons is irrelevant. I myself I do not solve chess tactics everyday. That's a myth.

Do not memorize openings is also a myth. I rather memorize openings for two hours in a day everyday and do not solve tactics.
