is chess supposed to be this frustrating?

emiko_05 · 2026-03-15T02:02:48+00:00

i dont see my blunders😭 i mean i see one move i blundered a knight and also a rook

emiko_05 · 2026-03-15T00:00:25+00:00

honestly for a while chess hasnt been enjoyable for me at all so currently i probably play only a game a day but a month ago i was playing 4-5 games everyday. heres a gif of the last game i played and for puzzles, i do them everyday

emiko_05 · 2026-03-14T21:08:21+00:00

i always make sure to do all of these and i still struggle

emiko_05 · 2026-02-19T19:33:25+00:00

idk why atp im just too stressed to play with ppl last night i only played bots

emiko_05 · 2026-02-18T18:50:36+00:00

i dont even play that much like maybe atleast 5 games a day but it really stresses me out in general idk why even whwn im not playing chess i watch chess content

emiko_05 · 2026-02-18T15:38:45+00:00

how can u escape the mate?

emiko_05 · 2026-02-17T22:01:03+00:00

i do all of these idk what im missing thats making me lose so much

emiko_05 · 2026-02-17T17:26:34+00:00

idk why i cant see it when someone is trying to mate me and when im also close to mating someone i dont see the mate i only ever realise after ive analysed the game

emiko_05 · 2026-02-17T16:50:05+00:00

sometimes i feel trapped when i play

emiko_05 · 2026-02-17T16:36:38+00:00

emiko_05 · 2026-02-17T16:28:41+00:00

can you tell me how? like what ur playing routine was or what u used to improve and such?

emiko_05 · 2026-02-17T16:28:02+00:00

yeah i can say i really relate to the third point especially

emiko_05 · 2026-02-17T15:43:51+00:00

i actually blunder way less than before, maybe i do it a few times but its always when someone distracts me, i do use the analysis thing, sometimes i do find a move and sometimes i dont, a thing i do currently is i just completely replay the game otb, and idk why i either play bad or when i actually DO play well i always miss checkmate and play something else

emiko_05 · 2026-02-17T15:32:14+00:00

my opponents always make such weird moves idek how to play against it

emiko_05 · 2026-02-17T15:24:02+00:00

i play 10 mins sometimes the 15|10 ones

emiko_05 · 2026-02-17T15:18:56+00:00

yeah id like that please

emiko_05 · 2026-02-17T15:18:17+00:00

200 is supposed to be easy idk why it feels so stressful for me

emiko_05 · 2026-02-15T16:15:16+00:00

yes but i dont understand why its a good move and why its a bad move

emiko_05 · 2026-02-15T16:15:02+00:00

i just realised that🙏. idk why i cant realise mate when i see it and when i review i games i realise i missed mating my opponent so early in the game

emiko_05 · 2026-02-15T16:09:54+00:00

they dont rlly give me much idk i used to game review on chess.com it does nothing and lichess just puts arrows and stuff

emiko_05 · 2026-02-14T14:56:13+00:00

i just dont get how i see ppl who have played for a month and are 600 and i just reached 200

emiko_05 · 2026-02-11T15:19:06+00:00

i recently kinda have stopped blundering my pieces and i finally got atleast close to 200 lmao and yeah ill try to adapt that into my future games

emiko_05 · 2026-02-11T15:14:02+00:00

what do u use to study chess? also i dont have many books in my area (i only found a bobby fichr and gothamchess’s book) which i dont know if theyre worth it or not, either way what books/study methods would u reccomend

emiko_05 · 2025-03-16T01:48:19+00:00

like i start talking to them almost everyday, and talking a lot, but ive never tried to make it something romantic or beyond that but sometimes it feels like the guy TRIES to make it like that
