Lol
people below 300 elo should quit chess.prove me wrong
Sort:
i can prove you wrong, chess isn’t about ratings it’s about the feeling you make when you check someone or make a wonderful move, and finally get to the checkmate, its not about how many times you’ve won, its about the spirit of chess
do you find his spirit? 
tell me when! I lost mine in space here
go to pub! you have better chances!

What about this? Instead of choosing to quit, try to improve. Play puzzles, regularly play chess, take lessons, join a chess club if you can. The point is, you could be really bad but then get really good if you TRY.

Also to add to my other comment: In March of this year and for my whole life I was at 400 in bulletin. But I kept trying, and in May, I got to 1000.

Being bad it's no wrong. What is actually wrong, is to stay being bad. You always have the chance to improve and surpass your limits...
Let this thread die quietly (locking would be wonderful)

if you're below 300 here are some things you can try:
-stop watching videos while playing chess
-think twice before playing a move
-get lots of sleep

Everyone starts at 0 ELO (not knowing the rules.) The lowest ELO is 100, so when you know the very basics and nothing more, you are 100. As you learn, you gain ELO. Some people pass 300 ELO within 30 minutes of learning the game (it’s rare) but nobody fully skips that rating range. Even Magnus was 200 at some point (although obviously not for long.) So, since you are 100 when you know nothing but the rules, should you learn the rules, and then immediately quit chess?
I think not.
1. No one starts out at 0 for a rating. People without ratings are "unrated" and their first rating is only provisional after having played a rated player.
2. Elo is not ELO. Elo is the family name of the mathematician who devised the statistical system for estimating ratings. ELO is the acronym for Electric Light Orchestra.
stop writing it was just a joke
They're busy trying to stamp out humor.
