I am having trouble with the system to load my games sad.png. Normally its a positional error or endgame error. sometimes i do make a blunder tho. Is there a way you guys practice and/or study to improve?

What are those books called I can try to get them

Build up your chess, boost your chess and chess evolution. Make sure the book cover is blue because I think the orange series has the same names confusingly

"sometimes i do make a blunder"?

How are you 1500 then?

Just study and read books, I'm gonna hit 1600 soon (again).

I mostly play higher rateds. I win against ppl lower than 1500 with no problems

Avatar of i-AGC

I play higher rateds 80% of the time, my win rate is 46% i think its good.

but lwk beating people lower than you is a good skill, thats great, but not being able to beat people higher than you is a problem, try not to look at their ratings, its should help

Avatar of Eagle20222

You have a pretty good win rate. I would say like a 38% win rate against 1600 and above. If I am really locked in then like a 60%. The thing is I get like a totally winning position (like +2 on stockfish positionally) then for some reason make a blunder that isnt obivous when I play it. Then 10 seconds later realize its a blunder sad.png. I will read books though, I have seen many players rapidly increase to like 1900 and 2000 just by studying chesss books

1) figure out why you lose games.

2) Correct that.

Is it openings, study openings. It is blunders, study why. Did you miss tactics? Did you want into tactics? Weird check mates, study them. Missed a won end-game, study those.

You need to know why YOU lose. Fix it.

Your ratings are way more normal. I'm 1900 OTB and 2550 peak cc

It's normal for there to be a big difference in online and OTB ratings

I straight up just don't believe half the peoples "OTB ratings"
