Hello everybody. I am rated 1500-1600 Elo in Lichess. I don’t play on Chess.com but i was once rated 1300-1350 best. To transfer this elo to fide it’s around 1250 which is like Beginner level In most of the games i play on 66.7-90 accuracy and generally around 70-80. I blunder around 1-2 times during every game. I try to decrease it. I play rapid 10+0. And try to solve puzzles I need some assitance for how can i improve more. I know the basics & and basic Chess Ethymology & terms. My goal is 1800-1900 elo at lichess. *Also i’m looking for chess partner or coach to play with*

I spent most of the day reviewing the London System and watching Levy's videos on the French Defense and how to beat the London. I suppose I could have forced Shredder to play Black so I could play the London, but I most wanted to practice the French. So I left the choice as random. Shredder was White. 🙂And played d4. ☹️ I haven't studied the Dutch yet, which is my intended defense against d4. So I winged it and played something analysis calls the Barnes Defense, which I've never heard of. Shredder played horribly, and I played only a little less horribly. Shredder blundered the queen, and resigned not long after. In analysis I realized I really need to go back to study pawn play. After I learn at least a little about the Dutch. Still looking to defeat Shredder with the French before I move up to play against it at 980. https://www.chess.com/a/38DT5utHCNaTg?tab=analysis

We may be upset when we lose a chess match, especially if we are playing on the platform. Because we are losing matches and a scoring system called elo. However, we should not forget that we play to improve in chess, not for elo. No matter how bad it is to leave early, if your opponent beats you by an overwhelming margin, it is good sportsmanship to leave with respect and decency. Have you ever seen a grandmaster not abandon after making a huge mistake and when the opponent realizes it and wins by a landslide? https://www.chess.com/live/game/119811020937

We just hit 2000 members (again!) It's not really about the numbers though, it's about the quality of people here. This group is full of great, supportive players and I haven’t seen many other communities with the same positive atmosphere. Love being a part of this 🔥 P.S. Just a quick heads up — the price for our XLR8 program is going up on September 1st, so if you were on the fence now is the best time to jump in. Click here to lock in your spot now!
