It's not in the app. You have to use a browser.

I can help you, sir.  (800 rating is about the only players I can help).  I looked at your past few games and have a quick answer to your woes.  You're breaking the opening principles.... aside from a few obvious blunders, but you'll quit making those over time.

 

#1. Don't move the same piece twice in the opening (unless you have a damn good reason). Remember - the opening of chess is a race to DEVELOP YOUR PIECES.  That was your biggest issue I saw. Develop it, then move on to the next piece.

 

#2. Don't develop your queen so early. The queen is easily attacked and forces you to move it again and again, hence breaking rule #1.

 

#3. Control the center. Don't waste early moves on side pawn moves. Develop two or three pawns that attack/support the center and then focus more on DEVELOPING PIECES.

......................................................

If you stick to those principles, and your opponent doesn't (which at that level, they don't).... by middle-game, tactics will start appearing on the board.

Hi,are you still looking for a mentor? I may not be a professional one, but I do have experience of 2 years playing chess, and have a USCF rating of 847. I may not be professional like I said before, but I do know a lot of tactics and strategies that are crucial to use during your game. I DONT charge in case you're wondering. I'll help you for fun, but first add me as a friend so that I can message you😃

@rosberg2112  UK-based coach with getting on for 30 years teaching and coaching experience. Happy to arrange sessions via skype/zoom/teams. I focus on a couple of things; understanding what you want out of your chess (not everyone who learns the piano needs to get grade 8) and giving you the tools to make independent progress. Message me if you are at all interested - happy to invest some upfront time to see if we gel.
