ranking is moving up very slow…

I guess I started up nicely but some videos created some mistakes in my head, so I lost a lot of games. And then I realised that it takes time to get up from 670 to 770. I changed my strategy, not playing so many games, but worked on the bots until I felt ready to a human. What is your strategy?

I also learn from playing humans, In my last game with a guy rated 830, (the game was a disaster for him) and I learned not to moved a king around….

How can I show the game here?

You need to use a real internet browser, not the mobile app.

That device runs Safari, no? Try logging on to www.chess.com in Safari (browser version, not app version). You should have an "Insert Game" widget available then.

     You just started. There is a lot to learn, chess is hard. Tarrasch, Capablanca, Fischer, Chernev and a host of others have written books aimed at beginners. Check one or two of these out and you will learn a lot more about chess than you will by playing many, many games vs weak players: if you can defeat them with poor moves because they play even worse, you will be training yourself to play inferior moves.

     And never believe "laws" like don't bring the queen out early, or never move your king except to castle. As general ideas they may be OK but you must consider all the factors in any position and calculate any move that might be promising. For example, see Kasparov-Petrosian (Tilburg Oct. 10 1981) to see a king boldly rush into the midst of the attacking pieces, winning a piece and the game. Always figure out what you think is the right plan to follow and the right move to make, and your opponents will show you which of your ideas are bad and you will learn to improve your play.

Also: sometimes when you learn something that fundamentally changes how you play, you’ll drop in rating for a while until you master your new approach. This is normal and a good reason not to focus on rating, but just learn what you can and do your best.

It will only get harder as you move up the ladder, but if you keep practicing and don't quit, you will be further ahead next year. Everything like a new skill, takes time to develop and master. Like riding a bike, learning to walk, or even calculus.
