What should I be working on as a new comer.

I used to play chess when I was younger 20 years ago, but never had any training.  For the most part I had not played at all the last two decades, except maybe two or three games in person with people.  I just started up again about a month ago and feel I am pretty weak on the board.  I make lots of blunders and I seem to be weak in the middle and end game.  I do not have any openings memorized at all, I just make moves based on tuition.  What would be the best place to invest my time in learning a few things, so I can improve my rating and not be a beginner forever.  Most of the games I play are 10 minute games, I find that is a fun time, but you have enough time to make good moves.

Thanks ^-^

newcomer.....use the watch feature and analyze games. Not to many at a time though because youll get timid when your in a live game. Just keep playing and watching. GL

Play slower games for learning and improving, faster games for fun.

If you WANT to improve, it's important to look over each of your losses and try to figure out WHY you lost that game. Not just a cop-out reason like "I blundered my Queen away", but the real reason, like "I felt uncomfortable in a completely open position like that, and I couldn't come up with a plan. So I just reached out, made a random move, and lost my Queen".

I'm in the same boat only I had a little training. You are kicking butt on here with no training, which means if you start studying you'll probably lose all of your natural talent and drop back down to 100. I am only half joking. I used to teach guitar, and there are certain people who have a natural talent playing which can be destroyed by trying to teach them something. It's not always true, but sometimes rigidity in thinking throws out all creative thinking. This rule doesn't really apply to Chess, being as how it is the most fiendishly complicated game ever invented. You absolutely have to study in order to play this game well. There's not really any such thing as natural talent when you are talking about serious chess. I would be interested to see how you do in daily games. It could be that you just have a natural flare for playing fast games, which is a totally different game from playing slowly. You might start studying and playing daily games, and then start losing, and lose your enthusiasm. Right now you are way above average in fast games. I was going to suggest going through the lessons, which is what I am doing. It's always good to review the basics. I don't know, maybe you're better off playing the way you're playing and just having fun. You can be proud of what you've accomplished.

If you are serious about improving, come to Scandinavian 1.e4 d5. There you will find SPECIFIC ways to improve and get past most of the 'noise' you see written here. 

If I were you I would only listen to advice coming from people higher rated than you. You want advice coming from people who are where you want to be. I wouldn't play daily either. You're allowed to use the analysis board and an opening book during the game. That's cheating in my opinion and it creates all sorts of bad habbits

Tactics are the most important thing to focus on. That alongside strategy and endgame fundamentals. This site has a study guide that has all of the resources you could possibly need

I would probably beat him in Daily, he would probably beat me in R/B/B.

Most people agree that the bad habits are obtained in RBB, not Daily.

I really appreciate all the answers you have provided and will work on the advice you have all provided.

Practice new openings. (If nobody said that)

for real

This is completely wrong. 15|10 or longer is a great time control. Daily not so much. The only benefit it has is that it is very flexible which is understandable for working adults other than that it is not good.

Chess is supposed to be played between two people using their knowledge not consulting some opening book. In addition, you're allowed to use the analysis board and move pieces around, please tell me what OTB tournament on earth allows you to move the pieces around to calculate different variations? What OTB tournament allows you to pull up a opening book to make sure you're following theory? That's literally cheating in any other format.

It teaches bad habits because you're dependent on moving pieces around instead of calculating in your mind which is one of the most important chess skills. And also makes you dependent on an opening book which you won't have access to when you play real chess.

The only way it makes sense is if you play with someone you trust and you both agree to play it the right way other than that it's no good. Even if you choose to play daily without tools your opponent can and you won't be playing on an even field which is better than the alternative but why not play rapid or classical? But hey if a 1200 says using an opening book midgame is ok I guess you learned the Hans Niemann way

I'm a beginner myself, a good way to learn from my experience is play with a friend of yours that is a higher ranking, and let him coach you if you want

@RespektMyAuthoritah We aren't using books to decide our next move. We still have to do the calculations, only we have more than 20 seconds to do it. At the most, the analyzer will tell you the names of the openings, something that anyone at my level, or above, should already know. There are no videos or books which are going to give you an exact move for an exact position. Which reflects a person's ELO more, slow or fast games? It's the Patzers versus Real Chess Players argument come back to life. En garde. No ill will, I love a good debate. I'm here to learn. 😁

Books are allowed in daily chess so are opening databases. That's not your knowledge, that's cheating plain and simple. Also last time I checked classical time control is not 20 seconds

I would recommend the following three things (in order of importance):

1. Play through a lot of annotated master games on a real board.

That will eliminate a good part of your blunders and increase your overall chess understanding in every phase of the game. 

2. Work on your tactics with the help of some well structured books. 

Books are far superior to random online puzzles - especially if those puzzles are timed. 

3. Play games with slower time control, like 15/10. 

So you actually practice the game, without time pressure. I don't find daily games so beneficial, but they are also better than nothing. 

I suggest you research some openings. I had a quick look at one of your games with white, Queen pawn opening and (if you don't mind me saying) you could get better success being more aggressive. Try Queens gambit or London or a Colle System if you want to play d4.

Playing h3 on move 2 is  bit too defensive.

Watch Gotham Chess on Youtube and make sure you play at least 2 games a day. Solve the daily puzzles and the extra puzzles.
