I’m starting to hate this game…

If you're feeling burnt out or overwhelmed, it might be helpful to take a step back and give yourself a break. Sometimes, a little distance can provide a fresh perspective. You can return to the game when you feel more ready and motivated.

If you do decide to come back to chess in the future, consider trying a different approach to learning and practicing. Maybe focus on playing for fun, without worrying too much about ratings or explore different aspects of the game that you haven't delved into before.

If you feel this way, pick another hobby. Hating a board game is just not healthy.

Probably not the answer you are looking for but a lot of time that is how it works for a while. I know that when I Knew nothing I played better than when I started studying because I played very cautiously and blundered less and my strategy was only focused on two things. 1 dont leave a piece hanging and 2 capture pieces that were left hanging.

Once I started studying then my mind went to

1. dont leave pieces hanging

2 take hanging pieces

3 pick the right first move

4 castle early

5 look for pins and skewars

6 look for a double attack

7 is the knight or the bishop the best piece to trade now

8 do I castle long or short

9 look for mate patterns

10 sould I sacrafice

11 look for gambits

12 look for a trap opportunity

13 control the center

14 ...........

So unsurprisingly taking in all of this info and overthinking I started to blunder more.

I guess my advice would be to simplify as you are probably trying to learn too much too fast.

The whole ' learning ' thing... It just builds extra body wait for trying to learn the game. I mean, they shouldn't use. All of those lessons, all of those lessons? It's crazy...

Good answer.

Also, personally, when I got frustrated with my performance, my games and rating only got worse. I am more successful when I am not stressed out about my rating and when I play for fun. When I am not in the right mindset for chess, I go do something else since it is just a game and I care about my enjoyment of chess (and not losing too much ELO ).

Also, increasing your rating takes time. There are suddent bumps and suddent falls here and there. ELO fluctuates and it's normal.

Also, chess isn't all about rating. It's about having fun and making the best strategies you can. Being too competitive can kill the fun there is in chess.

The more you study the more dips you will have trying to incorporate new ideas and not playing the ones you mastered already. That's just my experience in my short time playing

Maybe he is trying to incorporate too many ideas at once?

It taket years to be good at chess. You are only a baby beginner. Study and train. Chess is like learning a new language and at least as hard. Like it or leave it

If you hate this game, take up golf. Then you'll love it.

Take a break from playing and learning then come back to it in a week. Your brain will re-enforce what you have been studying hard previously. It will be easier to recall when you come back to it and try again. Also remember at your level there is more chaos in the other player's moves so take your time to see what each move changes on the board. Not threats, just what it changes.
