How to not be complete garbage at this game
Sort:
I got back into chess after a hiatus, but now on chess.com I can barely beat anyone. My abysmal rating, constant blunders and more just don’t make sense. I’ve read so many articles on how to improve, without training for a long time?
I know this is not probably what you want to hear and don’t take my word because I’m rated pretty low I’m just telling you what people have told me I would say the biggest thing is JUST PAY ATTENTION. And I’m not condemning because I still fall into this category but once you start paying attention to your opponents moves as well as your own you will improve. After every move ask yourself what changed? Is there a free piece etc….. And also chess takes practice so don’t feel down if you’re not improving at a huge rate, chess is a marathon not a sprint.
Also watch chess on YouTube watching people higher rated then me play and explain their thought process has helped a lot
Lastly solve a lot of chess puzzles solving early on can help you spot simple tactics like hanging pieces and mate in 1 or 2.

Well the problem are asians , they're so poor, like india, that they live for chess since they realized that they had invented it in the first place. They're farming and now I refuse to play with them even if it means losing points.....I can't stand their attitude.
So don't worry there are other websites
I'm rubbish also, but I enjoy playing - and I think it's important to keep that in mind. It doesn't matter what your rating is, you're going to have to get used to losing ~50% of your games. That's the nature of how your opponents are selected - start winning more and they get tougher, start losing more and they will get weaker. Either way, ultimately, you're going to get beaten as much as you win. Is losing at 1000 Elo more enjoyable than losing at 500 Elo? I'd say not, so forget about the rating and just enjoy a few minutes distraction from everyday life with a nice game of chess.
Then play while not being connected
Only you know the answer to your question!
Chess is an individual game.
Your success or failure is the result of your choosing.
So when are you going to stop blundering OP?
Just study chess watch videos and meditate... It really helps!
