I recommend youto learn the fried liver opening. It destroys 100-500 Elo players and it's a really simple opening that has a lot of traps to make them lose.
You're killing it microchip! When he took your rook that wasent a blunder on your part. He blundered his queen in that trade. You are playing super well
Hi, im around 1900-2000 (rapid 1908, classic 2106). My advice for you is to do puzzles until you´re around 1600 puzzle rating. Most opponents in my games still miss at least one 2-3 move tactic. Really take your time in those puzzles, don´t move until you know the solution. Also make sure to take time to check for tactics during your games when you feel you can attack something. This can catapult you to 1500 easily!
@@microchipgaming if you got 1600-1700 in lichess puzzles right now, you should focus on spotting tactics in your games. Whenever you see, that your pieces can pin, skewer, discovered attack or fork queen, king, rooks or checkmate threats, take like half a minute to think, what you would do as your opponent if you encountered this tactic, and when there isn´t an easy answer, under 1500 more often than not you just win the piece.
When your enemy makes a move try to think what do he want ( position/attack/deffend) If that just an devolop/position think can you attack? (Is it good/bad ) if good do it if not no Now if that is an deffend move..
that's a fascinating journey! do you analyze your games after playing them? if so, you could try adding more commentary, such as specific mistakes you've made, which moves you should've done instead, etc :)
Good job getting to 200 elo! You play pretty well for the rating and I see a lot of potential in your growth! (1800 rapid player here xD) Edit: Also nice job refuting scholar's mate.
Hey! I see you're on a very ambitious journey, so I will ask you to make a checklist, and do these things step by step. 100-600 elo: Try to get 60% accuracy roughly every game you play. Don't bother with openings, and please don't play Scholars' Mate / the Wayward Queen Attack!! YOU SHOULD NEVER PLAY QH5 ON MOVE 2. Try to spend a bit more time, and look at what your pieces can do. This will help you win games quickly. Don't play useless checks, don't play one-movers, and don't block your pawns with pieces. 600-900 elo: Start doing puzzles, try to get to roughly 1 800 - 2 200 puzzle elo. May take time. Try to grasp pretty common opening ideas as in - develop your pieces, occupy the center, castle, and play smoothly. Spend time to see tactics or free pieces. 900-1 300 elo: Learn your first opening! I advise you to learn the Scotch (1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. d4) or the Italian. (1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bc4) DO NOT play the Four Knights. (1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Nc3 Nf6) It is boring, and will lead nowhere. PLEASE PROMISE not to play the Sicilian Defense (1. e4 c5) or the Ruy Lopez (1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5) before you reach about 1 800 - 2 000 elo. 1 300 - 1 700 elo: Play chess regularly, have good time control, learn a second or perhaps a third opening, try to reach 2 400 puzzle elo. 1 700 - 2 000 elo: Learn harder openings in detail, buy chess books, dedicate a lot of time to chess. You'll probably reach this step in 2 to 3 years with enough dedication. Then, I don't know... I'm roughly 2 000 elo, a bit over 1 900, so I can't quite tell. But yeah! :)
