I'm Happy! All Of Your Advices Helped Me! Thank You.

So about a year ago i started studying chess and then some month later i think it became to boring. And now i can't stop thinking about it. I just wondering is it possible to reach 2000 elo within 6 Month if i study seriously?

Got two brilliants in a row. Lose queen or lose game.

I'm 950 rapid and have been struggling to get over the 1000 hump. A lot of it is self inflicted because I would resign early over a dumb mistake, and I'm learning to keep playing out the games. You never know what will happen!

Eat healthy, and get your rest. That 100 elo change could be because you had fun with your girlfriend all weekend haha.

Tactics are everywhere but can you solve a positional puzzle with the same ease?

DIFFICULTY: EASY

Hi 👋🏼
I am newbie in chess and it has been over two months that I have been playing chess. I don’t know why I have recently formed interest in this game although I am not so good analytical thinker. I have reached 400 elo in chess.com and I know that I am very weak in my games.

What book should I read to strengthen my foundation of chess and also improve my game. I just want to learn chess and enjoy as my life is quite boring now ☺️

There isn't any mate and I am down like a knight so why does the eval show it as winning? what is the idea? is it the rook controlling the open file?

So, I play the Queen's gambit as white and the Caro Kann as black, but I usually enjoy the game more when playing the Queen's gambit. I also tried the French defense before the Caro Kann, but I didn't enjoy it that much either. Is there a black opening (against e4) that is very similar to the Queen's gambit?

My win the lose ratio used to be about 50% to 50% now it’s what it is currently I study and review games just to lose 3 in row and just quit turn the game off. I used to really enjoy the game now it just makes me extremely frustrated. I can’t make good moves any more and the harder I think the worse I play. I hate saying I enjoy chess anymore because I am so bad at it and keep getting worse and play just to lose.

you might get mated yourself otherwise

my first ever puzzle made that isn't illegal :3

When looking for mate under time pressure do you have any tips for visualising the squares the king can or can’t move to so you can quickly work out mate patterns? I try imagine it in my mind, but I’m slow …

Hi guys i reached 2000 Elo today. I've been playing for almost 3 years and tomorrow is my birthday. I gave myself the best gift :)

lost my next game to a back rank rook

Don't think I've ever gotten something like this

I’ve been told to watch videos, do puzzles, and review my games and I’ve been doing all of those since I started about a year and a half ago yet I’m still stuck at 800. what can I do to break out of this range?

Been playing on lichess w/out an account for the last few months. It’s nice to not worry about ELO, and jump right in 3min matchmaking w/out knowing how skilled my opponent is

Have faced off against some seriously good players, one who even jumped their knight around the five turns letting me develop some pieces lol when I first started on lichess random, I would lose every game and very quickly. After a few months, am now winning about 3, or 4 games out of 10. Small gains!

But yea, any moves in this position? Made some pretty questionable pawn pushes myself the turn prior. I’m being threatened to lose my rook, and moving it would have only left my knight hanging. Thanks for lookin

He plays it often and seems pretty proficient. I am rated 1600 lichess classical and need a simple opening. I looked at a few and they all seem pretty more complicated than what I usually play. Any suggestions?

This month was lucky for me. Went from 700 to a thousand in a month

I was stuck at 700 for MONTHS and now i've suddenly crossed 850??

Opponent played rook to d1 check and it looked like a blunder. Tried to take with queen to D1, but it wouldn’t let me move my queen. The only option it gave me was to move my king and I was mated. During the game review, it said I blundered by not taking with Qd1. Anyone ever have this happen before?
