Losing Streak.

We both need to improve.

Still waiting for a really helpful tip. So far, I've had the same ones as always. No offense, but even with the ones that SHOULD make me improve, don't seem to.

How about this game: https://www.chess.com/daily/game/227978820

This is literally my best ever, but I'm not praising myself just yet. I will await the criticism. (please analysis it.)

Yeah friend I think you need to study more tactics. It isn't just about being familiar with common tactical ideas, but developing better board sense and visualization.

After looking at your game against bitterirony, you had a massive material advantage but managed to blunder it away piece after piece. Blunders happen, but to improve you have to eliminate them from your game.

For example on move 26. you played Be3 attacking your opponent's queen, missing that he plays RxQ first with check. Did you think long on that move? If so, you certainly need to work on calculation skills. If you didn't think long on that move, you simply need to slow down. Even after 26. Be3?, you have a large material advantage and should go on to win. 

Okay Snowy, RELAX. We all have stages when we plummet down. Me for example. I had 1300, then plummeted to 1210. I got to 1291 now.

Your rating will gradually go up again if you at least try.

Don't expect it to go up immediately. This will take time.

Are you reading chess books? If you aren't, I'd recommend one of the strategic ones or openings. Some by Jermey Silman are AWESOME. Anyway, if you get one of those opening books, you want to study A CERTAIN opening. If you do a advanced opening, most likely you will surprise your opponents.

It's time to praise your self. When I first self analyzed, I didn't see much critical errors. When I analyzed using stockfish, you had 95.6 % accuracy. Way to go!

I'll give you all my money if you don't bother me again with your endless whining about how you're not worthy

AAA NOO

Looked over a few of you games your in a tough spot mate, I think your right on the edge of shooting up a couple of hundred points but not quite there. Ok so some possibly helpful advice.

1) Your openings are all over the place and not very coherent. Start with a few basic openings. If you insist on e4 look to the four knights, scotch, guicco pianissimo. The last one is especially solid. However I would actually suggest queens pawn openings, London, stonewall, or Colle. Rock solid, you can learn the basics in an evening, and they are deadly at your level.

2) Keep your pieces protected. A piece that isn’t protected is simply a target. First thing I do when it’s my move is look for unprotected or badly protected pieces. If they are there I then look for tactics based on them.

3) Evaluate your pieces. You trade a LOT. A pieces worth is dependent on the position. Your trading bishops that have uncontested diagonals for knights on the edge. Not a good idea. Just ask yourself before you trade ‘Which piece is doing more?’

4) This may be the biggest one. Learn about weak squares, how to use them, how to avoid them. This by itself will get you a couple of hundred points. 

From what I hear you are too busy trying to find that special piece of advice that will make it all come together. There isn't one it's just like the fitness ads "get a six pack in 1 week!!!!" there is no abstract idea that will make you better. just play solid chess and train. once you stop worrying and pursue the game in a way that feels good to your head makes you view your games as art or whatever makes you like chess in the first place, then it will all be chill. Unless you can objectively articulate your weakness with traceable logic, then no one can help you. Nearly all of the advice you have gotten is fantastic and you should try to take some of it. People are spending time on this forum trying you help you.

At his/her level, probably tactics and endgames and the ablity to evade hanging pieces are the main priority.

I saw the game against @luftslottet played recently.

10. Nf3 is risky given that Black can play dxe4 anytime.

16. Ng5 is ok (better than 16. Rad1? which hangs a pawn by 16...Qxb2, but judging from your opponent's skills, I predict that he/she would play 16...Qxe4?? and the game ends with 17. Qxe4).

19. Rac1 can be considered.

23. Ng5+?? is just...bad.

Number 3, you should have seen how I used to trade pawns all the time. (and I still need to work on the rest.)

Thanks. I actually find this really useful. Unlike others who say I'm horrible and then tell me what I can do to get better, you just give me tips and still showing me what I did wrong but not rudely. I had someone get angry at me once for doing bad.

@jfiquett, thanks for the tips.

@Crazy_Insane, I never said their advice was bad, but before page 2 I just got the same tips I've received at least 10 times and have not helped me.

@ziplinekitkat, maybe you should go somewhere else for it looks like you don't care if you improve or not. 

@AlkinKing, maybe so, or I'm not getting anything out of them.

@GM_Chess_Player, thank you, I will try to start a chess book today.

@eric0022, I do agree that those are my main problems. And thanks for the criticism on the game. I see now.

Everyone loses.

You're right.
