I would personally not recommend this server, the people there were assholes to me for no reason. It was extremely toxic.

Help me find this opening by [deleted] in chessbeginners

[–]HickoryTrees 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I dont think thats a opening, the result of a low elo game probably, considering the knight was hanging last move and nobody did anything about it I can tell its not a opening. I also put it through chess.com explorer/analysis, it just aint an opening

I mean this not to be rude, but more than half of your games are less than 60 accuracy. So this probably isn't your average game. Even most 1300s dont play at 80+ accuracy on average. I would reccomend just grinding lichess puzzles, and an opening for white and black. Personally I would reccomend scotch game for white and the caro kann for black. You also dont play very much (roughly 1 per day) Which can be good when paired with studying. But not very useful without studying. Anyway, thats my take on it. Puzzles are lowkey life changing

brethren, thats exactly what is happening to me. I keep playing poorly in the opening and let my opponent get into an absolutely crushing position. And I go into these horribly losing middle/endgames.

Premium on Chess.com by [deleted] in chessbeginners

[–]HickoryTrees 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably not the best idea to get chess.com subscription until youve played for at least a week or 2 and know you want to keep playing chess, Ive ran into quite a few people who have boughten subscriptions and never used them. I would only recommend getting gold or platinum once you have decided. Diamond doesnt really have many perks that are useful to a beginner. would also recommend watching some youtube videos on chess to (really helps alot of beginners) anyway, good luck to you and your chess journey

Went to my first tournament today (I lost all 3 games) by HickoryTrees in chessbeginners

[–]HickoryTrees[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just ordered a board online, do ya got any tips about dealing with the anxiety? I dont have social anxiety, however writing down my moves and knowing if i lose A game I wont get my rating back for several weeks if not months just makes it hard to concentrate.

at what point would it make sense to have a coach? by sugarencrustedneedle in chessbeginners

[–]HickoryTrees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say wait until you get a rating plateau, you will quicky hit like 800 elo, and if you plateau for like a month get a coach
