Dear Def_Not_A_Noobie,

My name is Gabor Balazs. I’m a Hungarian FIDE Master and a certified, full-time chess coach, so I hope I can help you. Everybody is different, so that's why there isn't only one given way to learn and improve.

First of all, you have to discover your biggest weaknesses in the game and start working on them. The most effective way for that is analyzing your own games. There is a built-in engine on chess.com which can show you if a move is good or bad but the only problem is that it can't explain to you the plans, ideas behind the moves, so you won't know why it is so good or bad.

In my opinion, chess has 4 main areas (openings, strategies, tactics/combinations and endgames) and if you want to improve efficiently, you should improve all of these skills almost at the same time. That's what my training program is based on. My students enjoy the lessons because they cover multiple aspects of chess in an engaging and dynamic way, keeping the learning process both stimulating and efficient. Of course, there are always ups and downs but this is completely normal in everyone's career.

If you would like to learn more about chess, you can take private lessons from me (you find the details on my profile) or you can visit my Patreon channel (www.patreon.com/Bgabor91), where you can learn about every kind of topics (openings, strategies, tactics, endgames, game analysis). There are more than 28 hours of educational videos uploaded already and I'm planning to upload at least 4 new videos per week, so you can get 4-6 hours of educational contents every month. I also upload daily puzzles in 4 levels every day which are available with a FREE subscription.

I hope this is helpful for you. Good luck with your games!

I was interested in your post and looked up your statistics, and the first thing I noticed was that you play an enormous number of games. Rather than spending lots and lots of time playing, back off and actually go over the games meticulously, looking for your errors and your opponents'. For instance, in the most recent game I looked at, which was a 10 minute game (congratulations on that!!), you moved your e-pawn twice in the first 3 moves without any apparent reason behind it. Then, as the game went on, both you and your opponent shoved your pieces around seemingly at random, paying no attention to what the other guy was doing. Yes, you won, but only because your opponent made the final mistake.

Now, what can you do? First, use all your time! Ten minute games are great for training, but if you have 8:27 left after the end of the game, you've essentially played almost a bullet game. That's not going to improve your chess. Next, get all your pieces out to good squares early, and then don't move them again without good reason, i.e., making an attack, capturing a free piece, moving your piece out of danger, etc. Good squares for the knights are f3 and c3 or c6 and f6. Avoid too many early pawn moves! They can't move back, and they just create weaknesses behind them. Castle early, preferably on the king side.

Finally, study some great games from great players. Chess.com and chessgames.com have extraordinary libraries of great games by famous (and not so famous) players. Start with the games of the brilliant Paul Morphy. As you play each of his moves, sit back and think about why he did what he did, how he developed his pieces and took control of the center, how he punished his opponents' mistakes. And buying a couple of good beginner books won't hurt you either. Chernev's "Logical Chess, Move by Move" is a timeless classic that should be on every player's shelf. Read it once. And then again and again until the cover falls off.

Good luck.

You resign, even in winning positions.

That's all advices I can give, don't resign unless you're %100 and another 100 percent sure.

One of the worst things that beginners can do is play endless blitz or rapid games against other beginners.

Spend some time on basic instruction books. Learn basic opening principles. Learn basic middlegame plans. Look at basic endgames.

Several weeks or months with chess classics will be many times more helpful than simply playing nonstop against other beginners.

I dont know, I have just been moving pieces randomly over 20 years without learning any chess theory

Learn and apply the most important principles of chess. - (core of my teaching)
Always blunder-check your moves.
Solve tactics in the right way.
Analyze your games.
Study games of strong players.
Learn how to be more psychologically resilient.
Work on your time management skills.
Get a coach if you can.

Yet we can't have the option of playing high rated players. Why?

You can add me if you want. I'm in the same position as you. I have almost played as many games as you and my puzzle rating is ridiculously high. lol
