I’m effectively a 1500 rated player beating multiple people in that elo consistently even though my official rating is only 1113 some things I like is that you control the center of the board, but what I don’t like is 0:37 you block the pawn from moving making the other bishops development not that great imo also you need to learn to not blunder pieces always be thinking if I move my piece here what pieces are seeing this square and controlling it. Also don’t sacrifice pieces early in the game it’s usually not a good idea and I wouldn’t recommend it for your elo ,learn the values of pieces and do tactics on lichess since they are free with all of this you should be able to get to 1000 elo in a month or two of consistent practice ish results may vary
Thank you for the advice! I took this advice with me in the next recorded session, with making sure I don't sack anything way too early in the game. I appreciate your enthusiasm for the game and improvement!
Learn the value of your pieces e.g Rooks (5) are more valuable than knights (3) and Bishops (3). Focus on developing your pieces to the centre. Castle your king instead of moving it out like you did early. Learn basic tactics like forks, skewers, pins etc. You'll double your Elo easily just by doing these things. Good luck!
At 19:19 could've forked with Nxc2, protected by the bishop
Knights aren’t more valuable than the rooks. Trading rook for the knight isn’t good for you)

Thank you for this! I thought knights were more valuable. I shall take this advice with me :)
