Totally Got Destroyed

Sooo admittedly, I made horrible mistakes my first live game.  No one to blame but myself.  I lost horribly, and I know I should have seen things that I totally missed, and it's really discouraging.  Any tips on how to not get discouraged by this? I really would like to get better at chess, any tips on taking a loss would help a lot! Any tips on getting better would help too

Learning how to improve at chess and learning how to analyze your own games is a skill in itself!

As for improving when starting out, here is a good resource to get you started with a good foundation

Add "opening principles" with some basic endgame study and maybe even a few chess puzzles in routine and you'll probably surpass 1000 chess.com rating with some time implementing these ideas for sure.

Thanks for the advice! Will definitely look at those when I hopefully get decent sleep tonight.

Eh youll get better in time. I went back an looked at my first handfull of games an i looked like i was drunk playing lol If your seriouse about improving play longer time controls, and take some time to think about your moves, dont give away free material. And check out the blog from kesetokaib
