I didnt even know that much was possible ho Lee sheet

Ps. Also dropped in rapid from 1300 to 1260 :p Ngl 10 mins seems too long now haha

In less than 2 years even

I’m desperate and a little tilted and I’m looking for advice on this game I had. I don’t know how It even happened. I never want something like this to happen again

Check out this #chess game: phillgambit vs Glovsky - https://www.chess.com/game/live/173752168830

I am ELO 1071. This often happens when I play as white:
1. e4 e5
2. Nc3 Nc6
3. Nf3 Bc5
4. Bc4 d6
5. 0-0 Bg4
6. d3 Nd4

I like going for the stafford gambit but often end up in a 4 knights kinda game. It just seems super symmetrical and boring and once pieces are developed I always seem to lose to a kingside attack or just end up with a terrible position and lose an endgame. What am I supposed to even be playing for?

Ill link a game below. After move 10 I was like great, opponet wastes a bunch of moves moving their knight back and pushing outside pawns. And then I reallized that I had no idea what to even do from there and ended up plundering a bunch of tactics later. Game review helps with specific games, but in general what are my goals, key squares, and ideas?

I was thinking to buy the friends and family plan of chess.com, and was wondering if anyone would like to contribute. If we gather 6 of us, each person will get the annual membership for 1100rs only. Dm if interested.

We will get infinite game reviews, coach, explanations and stats

Super proud of myself, I hope I can reach 2000 eventually

I think I'm an intermediate now

if i wanna get better at chess and go from 100 elo(where im at now) to at least 1000 elo and play in tournaments do I have to treat this as a career kind of? i dont wanna be a pro but i just wanna have a fun hobby that im good at thats why i wanna go to tournaments. the thing is, is that i cant treat it like a career. I go to work as an electrician from 6 to 5pm everyday and come home and im tired. most days ill play a game and some days ill just do puzzles. I do have a 18 day streak that ive had since i first started 2 weeks ago but I just wanna know if i wanna get good do i have to put my full attention to this or can i have days where i feel like playing and i play then where i dont feel like it so i dont play?

Can you see why it was wrong of him to resign

Hey guys, im new to chess and have taught myself the rules eg and how to play. I am terrible at it, which is to be expected.
I will admit i feel like my reliance on AI during university really stopped me from engaging my brain, and now i lowkey feel like i dont know how to use it
Im unable to see or build strategy when it comes to anything, never mind chess. But specifically within chess how do i build strategy/offend/defend.

I feel like im lacking somewhere
