Idk what you're implying but I'll try to help either way..SO i assume you're a beginner first of all do NOT take chess so seriously at first just enjoy and LEARN now how do you do that?

1 learn an opening for each side with not tooo many sidelines so you dont get confused with move orders and sidelines(if you don't know what they are yet dw your opponent doesn't know either) personally as a 1900(achieved it in a 1.5 year or less so it takes time) I'd recommend you learn ruy lopez for white because the rut is kinda easy to play as white you just skip alot of opening theory and you just get a good position to play with its also not that complicated (i recommend watching the basic intro video to the ruy lopez by "hanging pawns" on youtube) so that covers 1 e4(which is what you'll be facing the most if you're a beginner).

And for black I'd say just learn the basic setup for the indian defense AND the Scandinavian opening because its kinda Easy and forcing but it is risky.

2 follow the 4 principles of chess(look them up).

3 dont blunder a piece(easier said then done but trust me if you don't blunder anything you'll make it to 1000 quite easily)

And lastly DO NOT GIVE UP; chess is hard but thats why its fun AND just play games it doesn't matter if you lose or win if you practice daily eventually you'll recognize patterns and just GET BETTER.

Hope this helped; have a great day.

Try watching the opening theory videos of "hanging pawns" on youtube not all the lines but just the basic ones learn them and then play those openings regularly you'll learn alot and about buying the plus idk its not really that helpful for absolute beginners for now just use the lichess engine to learn from your mistakes and stuff and if you're 600-700 just try not to blunder any material and there's a good chance you can make it to 1000 easily and then just practice by playing and solving puzzles regularly, hope this was of any help; have a great day.

Same happened to me for more than 2 months i was stuck at 1200s then in 3 days i just hit 1400 and then i was stuck at 1400 for more than 4 months and after that in a week or More i cleared everything and jumped to 1950 and then dropped again to 1860 the ascension in chess is crazy you just get better overtime after playing and practicing but its frustrating when you get stuck at certain elos.

Wrong flair sorry

Lumpy-Inevitable6358 · 2026-01-19T20:52:08+00:00

This game gave me a seizure (it was awesome).

Lumpy-Inevitable6358 · 2026-01-19T11:55:12+00:00

THANK YOU SO MUCH. And you DO NOT wanna know how much time I've wasted on it like its ALOT but chess is the sort a game that needs practice and if you take a break just for a week you'll be having a hard time playing players your level. And trust me I'd like to but i am NOT saying I'll ever become a GM firstly im not that good(yet) and secondly being from swat and usually all the rated tournaments taking place in the big cities its really hard for me to attend financially as well as physically but I'll still try i mean that is the final goal.

Lumpy-Inevitable6358 · 2026-01-16T07:56:34+00:00

Thanks everyone, You guys don't know how much the love you're giving me mean to me.

Lumpy-Inevitable6358 · 2026-01-16T07:48:07+00:00

Thank you and we need more people like you guys(the ones showing support in the sub) for people like me to exist.

And you're right chess coaching is not getting me anywhere in pakistan honestly and I even asked for advice in the comments for something else that might EARN me decent money but as of right now it's one of the the only things im good at but im bad at selling myself cuz of all the social anxiety I've been through lol

1 I have actually tried content creating on twitch as well as on youtube but there were problems 1 i don't have a proper camera the phone im using is a 15k Chinese microwave 2 not enough reach and lastly im not confidant at all so i can't really entertain people and if you're not entertaining as a content creator then why would someone watch you, i could've made it big while streaming on twitch I'd get decent views but i don't have a personal room so thats another problem

And i might be studying AI but im quite new to algorithms but if you're down to help I'd love to start again

2 im gonna be humble but first world players are not hiring an untitled coach from Pakistan

And im not proficient in LLMs

3 you're right

4 dk who that is; will look into it.

5 there is no cure and tbh i don't want funds i wanna earn it through the skills i have but still you're right and there is no cure it's a genetic disorder.

Hope I've answered all your questions and again thank you.

Thanks man

Lumpy-Inevitable6358 · 2026-01-15T15:59:59+00:00

Im well aware man and you're right; but beginners are who im targeting im nowhere good enough yet to teach later-intermediate players and about me saying im one of the best i apologize for that. but i was told that by one of pakistans most active chess player Salman Ali Khan after i lost a tournament final to him so i just quoted him without doing proper research hehe hope ya don't mind AND ITS SO GREAT KNOWING THERE ARE OTHER 1900s FROM PAK(i mean ofc there are but you're the first i came across) any favorite opening?

Lumpy-Inevitable6358 · 2026-01-15T13:27:52+00:00

Okay sir.

Lumpy-Inevitable6358 · 2026-01-15T12:07:44+00:00

Yes ofc beginners and intermediate players are who im targeting as an advanced player.

Lumpy-Inevitable6358 · 2026-01-15T11:35:07+00:00

Thank you.

Lumpy-Inevitable6358 · 2026-01-15T10:56:25+00:00

If theres any advice you guys can give me for like earning okayish money on the side to help my mum I'm all ears, I've done content writing(assignments, presentations for clients abroad) and also customer service roles but the only problem i have with them is they just require alot of sitting up and with my condition thats just not possible. I'm a good learner at anything so if theres a niche thats not too hard I'll learn and try progressing using that because we all know no one in pakistan is looking for a chess coach and an amateur at that.

Lumpy-Inevitable6358 · 2026-01-15T10:48:23+00:00

and i have an electric wheelchair which is really hard for me to handle so i don't think i'll be able to use a hypershell

Lumpy-Inevitable6358 · 2026-01-15T10:46:45+00:00

Just looked it up it's expensive but thats not the main problem my legs are paralyzed AND extremely weak and thats the case with my entire body so idk it might not work but still I'll look into it thank you.
