I quit playing chess

[sweetkidsweet16]

Yeah I complained in my last post yesterday and now I quit chess.
As a beginner there is no point to continue to learn as players keep making perfect moves every time according to the analysis. It keeps happening and it's getting me stressed and there is no way I can win if there moves are considered perfect just to end up stalemate in every game.

Are you supposed to create your own moves and think outside the box? If so then this game isn't for me.

I have no idea what I am supposed to do, Going by the recommended moves does not work as I tried it. Once I lose my queen I resign immediately, There is no point continuing the game as your most powerful piece got removed from the board.

I have watched videos to help me understand and nothing, I don't see how these videos can help me win games.

Chess is about logic, seeing your moves several steps ahead of your opponents and the moves they can take on yours and how you can counter their attacks on your pieces. This is why Chess takes so long, each move needs to be considered fully and it's not something to be easily rushed into.

I admit I tend to rush making moves

It's been a long time since I played chess regularly but I would say stick too it. There is always going to be someone better than yourself but eventually you will get better as you learn.

While losing your Queen is a hit, it is just one piece. Don't rely on just using the Queen, yes it is a powerful piece on the board but it needs the use of the other pieces as well. Chess is not a one piece wins all game.

Always try and play several moves ahead, both yours and your opponents, where will they move if I move here. This will take time to learn and the more moves ahead you can learn the better player you'll become.

It will take time to learn like anything else in life but eventually you'll figure out moves which suit your style of play.

Online chess is full of cheaters, smurfs, chess dot com and lichess anticheat is a failure just like VAC, I am 1,850 elo quitting playing chess online.

Seems like a troll but here are my thoughts.

Have you heard the saying you need to learn the rules before you can break them?
I would say that is what applies here. Thinking outside the box is something you do in chess after a few years of playing. Creating your own strategy probably even longer.


I'm not sure what the computer means by a perfect move. You are supposed to memorise your openings in chess. You find a few that work well for you and for each of those openings, you have a general plan that unfolds from it.

chess.com has lots of resources for beginners or you can find a book in your local library.

You should learn the basics first, I suggest trying OTB. chess, so you can play against your mirror, online chess isn't a great place anymore to learn thanks to chess engine, smurfs and failure anticheat of lichess, chess.com.


Tbh. I can't blame smurfs doing those things like lowering their elo cuz there are lots of cheaters above, sometimes I smurf between 1,200-1,400 elo.

This is why I like the Atari 2600 chess game.

it had a setting I could actually win on.. and I could play chess and win against people

It's a tough game, I don't think I would play it online.

[sweetkidsweet16]

Strategy games are just not for me. Couldn't even beat against the computer if I'm that bad at chess.

[DoomsDay]

games or entertainment for humans. most people plays them. but is it really entertaining to do something only humans do?
sometimes I tend to go with the theory that all games are made as test to see the user if they really feel like human do. much like the human check on webpage, those are intended to block off automated bot from using up the server.

You don't quit chess, chess quits you, it's a skill that never goes away simply becomes dulled but the ambition to defeat your opponent can be a powerful factor.

I enjoy my little chess battles with the people on this forum, it's a game of watching them sacrifice pawns to try and ban users, how many insults can you evade and counter points can you dish to ultimately break the others spirit

Chess can be applied to all situations in life

[sweetkidsweet16]

I'm back and been doing some thinking.
I decided to continue and not give up while being frustrated losing games.
I have no idea what's the best opening in chess.
Right now I'm comfortable with the queens gambit opening.

Do you recommend me watching Gotham Chess? Or is there someone better?

most hardcoded analyses fall apart after the midgame, and there are various strategies for skipping the stagnant early game. most of which are full of procedural steps that could make you auto-lose if you don't do them right, thus why early game strategy has become so stagnant.

[Coinkydink]

checkers is the better game

[arottweiler]

Anyone play on chess.com want a correspondence game?

[Xero_Daxter]

Chess is about being steps ahead of your opponent. I like to set out baits for them to take then checkmate the king.

Knight: You except me to checkmate the king?
Me: I don’t. I’m gonna use you as a distraction whilst I make an attack on the right.
