Hello from the UK! I am 77 years old this year and obsessed with chess. I started learning in 2020 and probably sit somewhere between 1400 and 1500 elo on a good day 😊. The problem is I get very anxious when playing. I don't know why that is so I tend to avoid it. Wish I didn't!🤷

On FIDE online

I read that the rating is usually 300-500 lower than chesscom and so far so true. I'm struggling in a lot of games here against 1400+ opponents. I'm sitting over 400 elo below my chesscom as well I know some people don't take these titles seriously but for someone like me who can't really access fide events OTB within 5+ hours away it's a good incentive to go for. Theres usually 2 a year 3 hours away from me for crown (2000+) divisions and the other events are in other provinces I'm mostly going for these titles as a resume boost for coaching. I'm already going on to my second student towards my partnership with chesscom. Also soon fide will allow you to partner with them through having an online rating. I figure the more qualified I am the better

Ideally connects to my online chess accounts and gives usable feedback. Leave some suggestions if you used some

Im currently having a plateau and I dont really know what to learn. I still remember about the theory of constraints but i have a lot of constraints. Its very unclear on how should I improve my chess. I dont really know much endgames and strategy and I have time management problems. Sometimes i dont even understand why i lost a game. I still blunder and even if i dont blunder i still lose sometimes because of those other constraints.
