Can't get past 1350 rating

Everyone is better than me help... Been studying and playing 2 years now.

do tactics, alot of them. Also chess ain't easy so bear that in mind.

Have you been stuck at that rating for 2 years? If so, I can see why you're frustrated. If on the other hand you've only been playing a couple of years, then your rating seems quite reasonable (two years after learning the moves I was still learning the moves). Just keep playing and studying (and don't panic!).

I've been stuck at this rating basically since I started playing chess, everyone under 1350 is real easy, everyone over 1350 seems to be a chess genius. I don't often lose to blunders or obvious tactics I just get outplayed like with them thinking 5 or 6 moves ahead of me.

Ah then it might be a mental thing. Try playing Zen mode a little bit?

But here's the main thing I would try: take a break after every game. Stretch your legs, do other things. Come back after an hour.

MY games are decided by SIMPLE TACTICS. So are yours.

Problem Solved:

You might consider reading a book or two on the game.

I would recommend starting with some small, but ambitious goals.

Get your Puzzle Streak to 20 and then I will tell you the next step. ;c)

Your blitz, rapid, classical ratings already passed 1350! Congratulations!
