If you have a rating and you regularly play against players of the same level, normally you win as much as you lose.
if you want to improve it's different you can search on the internet like youtube, other sites, forum topics..
Tired of losing
Sort:
I enjoyed playing against you several times in the past but haven't run across you recently. My situation seems identical! Just lost twice to a 1230 something player where I used to be 14 or 1500, not sure if I reached 1600 at one time. Just don't know if it's getting older or what. But I do the puzzles everyday and the daily puzzle as well
I'm currently rated 1234. Have been as high as 1600.
Learning chess is a struggle. I've been playing for about 50 years. My game generally gets worse instead of better.
Advice like "Each mistake is an opportunity to learn," I find unhelpful. I follow the site analysis of my losing games: they do not teach me why the bad ideas are bad, or how to get the good ideas into my head.
I do puzzles daily. That does not seem to affect my rating.
I have done many of the lessons on chess.com. I don't see improvement in my games.
I'm getting steadily more discouraged. What I probably need is a way to unlearn the past five decades and learn the game correctly. Or a coach who can identify my faults and give appropriate instruction — but there are hundreds of coaches and no apparent way to choose among them.
Any suggestions?
