How come I'm so bad at chess now.

hehehe 800 rated player giving advice wow maybe they should use their own advice in their games lol

@njuguna Who has 800 and in which variant?

@JushBJJ2
I looked at several games of yours from month ago and there were many blunders. Advice: to avoid blunders, use the time you have.

Ps study the King + pawn vs. King and opposition technique. (you had a draw against pmviva)

@hangrad -- I have an 800, in every variant.



Sorry that's not from Giphy, it's just the first thing that came to mind when you called me out for not trolling hard enough.

Thank you @MrCharles ! This picture looks great! The GM, golden microphone looks great!
Nobody has 800 in all variants. Poster #5 has some 800s. You know, low level Stockfish plays badly and it's not a good idea to train with it exclusively. Also there is no actual thinking in chess. There is only patterns recognition obtained from past experiences. A good place to start training is solving some puzzles.

@hangrad -- Like gluing picture print-outs from the Interweebs to cardboard, then cutting it up, and trying to piece it back together? Those kind of puzzles? There's some gold in that picture. I suppose I could make my own gold model if I cut the pieces right. Maybe even 3D to put on a shelf! (OMG, imagine that.)

Here are sample games. My opponents were much higher than 800. They gave me free queens and resigned. The best advice is: when you move the queen, please make sure you do not put her on a square where she can be captured for free.

I listened to you guys and I think I slightly improved! My rating is higher now. Though in my last game, I did win but I did not play the best but I'm proud of it.
