I can’t beat my boyfriend at chess
I’m new to chess, I started playing a few months ago. I sucked didn’t understand the pieces and managed to somehow get my elo to 250, after that I took a break. I recently started playing again, I understand the pieces much more and got my elo to 350! My boyfriend always says if my elo is 400 then that makes me a good chess player lol.
I’m wondering if anyone has any tips on how to reach 400 elo? I would also love tips on how to finally beat my boyfriend lol. I’ve only won against him when he’s handed me the win or guided me.
Also I SUCK at 10 minute matches, I always get tunnel vision & blunder. I can only do somewhat okay when it’s 30 minute matches. Wondering if anyone has any advice on that
For reference here is my most recent game (I’m sausagegamer) https://www.chess.com/game/live/169946259802
And here’s my most recent game against my boyfriend https://www.chess.com/game/live/169730886458

I am sick of getting trounced by people who have accounts that were made last week.
Granted I am in the 800s, but it took me years to get here. This past week on 15/10 games I am getting smoked by players who don't even need time to make moves, while I try to develop. Today I lost to someone who gained 250 elo in one week with a 75 percent win-rate.

Little difference between 900 and 1800 ELO
This is kind of a funny observation, on my main account I'm around 1800. Recently picked up an old phone that was logged in on another account rated around 900. Honestly I couldn't really tell much difference.
At both levels, the games often end in 5-10 moves due to opening blunder.
At both levels, people often hang a basic tactic or miss a mate-in-1.
At both levels, people often make a terrible move in the first 2-3 moves because they don't know the 3rd move of a basic opening like scotch game.
At both levels, people often stalemate a game they should have won because they don't know how to play endgames.
I'm guilty of all of these btw, and I even lost a few games to the 900 rated players lol.
Biggest difference is that the 1800 players typically catch more tactical plays and make somewhat fewer tactical mistakes.

Computer makes no sense, man.
Help me understand. How was hanging his queen a better play lol. I’m just doing a eval on my game, and it preferred my opponent hang his queen to block a mate vs moving the pawn up like he did. I’m just thinking “ I would’ve never done that”.

I had an idea to add people as friends in this sub, if anyone wants to play sometime, let me know :)
I don’t care what your elo is, I just want to play with all and have fun!

Am I supposed to quit
I am seriously getting tired of chess. Every time I decide to play chess.com I just know that I will lose 5 matches in a row. I went from 900 to 750 because of this nonsense. I've watched tons and tons of videos and tips like analyze games or use this opening or know what the opponent wants but it just doesn't work. It's really annoying at this point. I used to dominate my school in chess but ever since last year my chess comprehension decided to give up on me. I tried taking a break and all of that but it just doesn't work. I should just quit altogether.
Basically, my friend got to go to nationals in chess which made me feel envy and jealousy because he was literally struggling with 300 elo games a month ago. This is one of the facts that made me push so hard that when I lose I go rogue (more like currently i wasnt that hard on myself a couple months ago). Although, this is not the main point as to why I am so fes up with chess. 2 years ago, I was absolutely insane at chess to the point where no one could beat me. Ever since last year, I dont know how or why I lost all my knowledge about chess.

We need an option to report chat when watching a game
We should be able to report this in the app.
I couldn't figure out how
