Thanks for having me! I’ve been on a chess learning adventure since April 2025. I’ve been hooked with over 500 games https://www.chess.com/member/bennaton305/ I’m still in the early stages (rank 659 - Rapid). Looking for recommendations to speed up my progress. Any suggestions that worked for you would be great!

Most games are won or lost because of a blunder. So knowing how to blunder less, and how to take advantage of your opponent's blunders will take your game to the next level. The Anti Blunder Blueprint shows you exactly how to do this. It covers all the different reasons people blunder, and the solutions to them. It shows you the psychology behind blunders and mindset stuff, which players of all levels can benefit from. Over 2 hours long, every essential detail is included. It's the ultimate guide to blunder-proofing your game. You can find it in the Classroom tab, or just click HERE to watch it now. Enjoy! P.S. After you finish going through the course, comment below with your thoughts/feedback👇

I've been on here for a while (even on the XLR8 server for a few months) but I lost steam and was inactive for a bit. After I went to a local chess event with I friend, I got reinspired to get back into chess. I've only been back for a month, but wow... I made so much progress. Thanks to everyone who contributes, and thanks, Kevin, for making this server! 350 in a month is way more than I could have hoped for lol

Hey guys. Just wanted some help. I have been blundering quite a bit lately and have really taken steps backwards over the last year as evidenced by my rating on chess.com going down 70-80 points. Hopefully soon I will be unlocked for the blunder section. But for now any quick pointers to quit blundering and start improving again?
