Hi BeginnerTrash420! 👍
You are already doing many things right for a brand-new player. Let’s build on those strengths and tackle the habits that are holding you back.
What’s going well
- Consistent opening choice. In most games you start with 1.e4 and follow with Nc3/Nf3 – that’s excellent because repetition speeds up learning.
- Central awareness. Moves like 4.d4 (vs chessprochv) and 12.d4 (vs ShayanRazaK) show you know the centre matters.
- Good clock management. You rarely fall below your opponent on time, so you have the thinking space you need.
- Fighting spirit. Even after mistakes you keep looking for tactics (e.g. 23.Nc5+!! vs Rengezz).
Biggest improvement opportunities
1 King safety first
Your own attacks often leave crucial dark-square holes around the king. In your last loss you were mated in one:
- Castle before pawn storms. In the same game you delayed castling until move 21.
- Before pushing flank pawns, ask “Will this expose my king?”
2 Avoid piece triple-moves
Re-moving the same piece wastes time. Example: in your win vs Rengezz you played Bc4–d5–c4–b3–e3 in the first nine moves. Try to:
- Develop each minor piece once.
- Bring new pieces into the game instead of “fixing” old ones.
3 Tactics, tactics, tactics
Most of your losses and wins hinge on one-move shots – mates, forks, and hanging pieces. Strengthen your pattern library with a daily puzzle routine:
- 5 easy puzzles (find the winning move quickly).
- 5 medium puzzles (calculate 2-3 moves deep).
Focus on forks, pins, skewers, and back-rank mates.
4 Do a blunder-check before you move
Ask yourself: “What is my opponent’s last move threatening?” “If I make this move, what are the checks, captures or threats against me?” Spend 10 seconds on this and you’ll save dozens of points.
Action plan for the next two weeks
- Open every rapid game with:
1.e4 2.Nf3 3.Bc4 4.d3 5.Nc3 O-O. Same structure each time – learn typical ideas instead of memorising moves. - Solve 10 tactics a day (see section 3).
- Play two 15 | 10 games daily. After each game, replay it and find one move you would change.
- Once a week, review your worst loss and annotate it with comments like “Missed fork”, “Moved same piece twice”, “Forgot king safety”.
Progress tracker
Use these to watch your improvement curve:
Motivation corner
Your current peak rating is about 460. Reaching 600 is absolutely realistic within a month if you stick to the plan.
Chess strength grows through consistent, focused practice. Keep the hunger, enjoy the journey, and you’ll be stunned how quickly the blunders disappear.
Good luck and happy checkmating!
