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
