Renvas [#3]1100 but i wouldnt say im there tho probably closer to 950 or something haha
I think I was stuck in 900-1100 range for 6-8 months before getting out. Its pretty hard

Yeah people start to getting cracked at that point truly hardstuck
meyournightmare [#4]only 510 🗿
447 matches 💀
Yikes bros below the rating you start with. You should see a few opening videos (gambits preferably because most low elo players don't know how to play those), even if you know only 1 for both black and white, you should be able to get to 800-900 easily

I had to add another opening to my repertoire to get out of it. Good luck, I recommend Vienna gambit for white.

meyournightmare [#15]what is gambits? 🗿
You sacrifice a pawn in the opening to get an advantage for later in the game

He's irrelevant, he lost to me btw my rating is 200~250 LMAO
739 blitz
528 bullet
834 rapid
1,088 games
I somewhat knew how to play Chess but only properly learned the rules and how to play starting on Oct. 20/2022, the same date I opened my Chess.com account in. I'm starting to like bullet a lot. I play bullet on my phone while queueing for Ranked. It's like a warmup for the brain. Love chess, wish I started playing sooner.
My main openings are London and Vienna. For black I just bring out my knights and bishop rather than playing a defence or a gambit. That is because low elo players really don't know how to play openings. They just get lost after a few moves, so I just wing it with black. It works out 99% of the times.
Astroman777 [#44]Chess.com - 2000 ~ 2100
Lichess - 2100 ~ 2200But I consider myself an amateur, most guys at this level have a good understanding of openings, traps in the openings, location of the squares, bad bishops and knights, better squares for the knights, etc... I don't have any of that.
I'm assuming this is your rating for rapid on chess.com
Strafe7 [#45]I'm assuming this is your rating for rapid on chess.com
I only play Blitz and Bullet...
Astroman777 [#47]I only play Blitz and Bullet...
Oh okay, I'm fairly high rated in rapid on chess.com, but the moment I switch to bullet I play much worse lol. 2000 on bullet to me is just too hard.
Strafe7 [#48]Oh okay, I'm fairly high rated in rapid on chess.com, but the moment I switch to bullet I play much worse lol. 2000 on bullet to me is just too hard.
I like to play a little fast to tilt my opponents, and when they manage to tilt me, I switch to Bullet. I stay in this cycle... Kkkk
Nezko_ [#2]chess.com
900-1000 dont remember accurate lazy to chck
aint that the starting rate? i won 1 match and went to 800
makoidk [#28]man i been stuck on 100 chess.com for like a month

Pogtestic [#55]Chess.com bullet and rapid rating around 1k-1.1k i suck at blitz
Lichess bullet rating 1.5k idk how (400ish games played)
Bullet is easy to elo up in. My rapid peak is 1650 but my bullet peak in 1900
wizardbot [#23]watch how to play a few gambits, shit makes it so easy to gain elo in lower elo hell
I have wanted to get into Chess and learn openings. Have been watching Gotham and Hikaru simply because it’s enjoyable, but am curious on how tedious the process is and how fast one typically learns these openings
loloscum [#53]aint that the starting rate? i won 1 match and went to 800
You actually choose your starting rating when you start

If you're actually trying to learn all variations and shit for a opening, it'll take a shittton of time. But you just need to learn the first few moves in the beginning and understand why its beneficial for you, rest you will learn as you keep on playing and practicing. Most people dont know full openings till like 1800-1900 and it'll take you a long time to get there

its hard to escape that elo unless you are serious player
i just play for fun + you choose your starting elo
try escapin it , it would take you months
as we see in the threads many players are like 200-400 elo
