TFW can't improve at chess

>TFW can't improve at chess

You don't improve by doing the same moves

You need to use the whole board.

Look at how those black and white pieces smugly step on the fucking board. Like, wtf the board shelters them and they step on it just because it's black and white?

Where's the option to improve?

Play out your pieces' weaknesses and use it to your advantage.

what the fuck does that even mean

do you even play chess

Take a break for a few days or a week. It helps me to improve at things, it gives your mind time to sort it out and you'll come back with a fresher perspective.

You're obviously too stressed about getting better to think straight.

I've never played chess but have gotten to high rankings in multiple competitive games and this helps me

Yes, sometimes

Learn how to use your pieces, you lack foresight.

i can't fathom caring about chess

i played it as a teen, went to some tournaments and did well, but then realized that the best players were being drilled by their parents as children and at my age had already become grandmasters, so i had no chance and just stopped

I'm just trying to get my head around playing the Queen's gambit declined

i don't understand it

So black plays defensively, you take the bait and you're one spot open for him to exploit.

His Bishop and Queen goes out freely and you're looking for a way to cover up your king without giving up the advantage.

should I join a chess club? I'm a beginner and willing to learn but I don't wanna embarass myself

Easier to play against the computer first.

Once you play with different people, you'll notice that they use the same opening moves.

Should I play the QGD tarrasch variation?

Yes, but the Queen's side will be vulnerable after that.

Why not play something relevant to 2017 like League of Legends?

What should I do to improve? Study games?

these. you need to become like water. be like water, leaf

Less toxic players and you can play out your strategies more.

Just learn how the pieces work, move them around and see the plays where a certain piece of yours gets cornered by the enemy and learn how to avoid it.

>tfw never knew how to play chess
it looks boring anyway
