Your view about my level , please ?

Hello !
I'm a boy of 15 years old and I'm french sorry for my english :p
I'm a beginner in the chess , i would know what you think about my level in this game : http://fr.lichess.org/nAKbuTaz/black
Please can you tell me how you find I play , good for a beginner or even for a beginner its bad , and have you some advice to give to me please ? , thanks ! =D
I precise : I'm the black player and i play against the first bot :D
Sure, You have to be careful with the pawns,
It is a very common thing in chess to trap a piece with the pawns, now the computer did not play it but It could have trapped your bishop, also It is very common thing for the pawns to attack two minor pieces simultaneously, that is something to watch out.
Also you will find that is not typical ,playing humans to spend 18 moves or more without trading, now grandmasters do that but in your level, our level, It is not very common, so be aware that playing the computer is not necessarily the same as playing a human, humans like in general unsound aggresive ideas specially at lower level, put pressure on the king and so on
I see now that it happened the bishop trap, I am commenting while I watc the game
You seem to have a positional style, defensive pasive, thats not bad, I am like that too but I recommend you to open the game and try some tactics to get used to it, specially if you are losing by a minor piece You have to gamble a bit, try to force something otherwise playing passive will usually exchange and be worse in the endgame
Ok you loss, but do not worry We all lose,
I think 1500 is quite a high level for a beginner, It is ok to play it, but if you have a lot of losses in a row you might wanna try a weaker player to get the confidence back, also you can use takebacks against the computer,
now the good thing about the computer is that you can
play untimed, that is a good idea in my opinion,
there is no such thing as good or bad, at least in chess,
You will find soon that you always have players that beat you, in chess you always have that, even Carlsen does not want to play against computers because he gets destroyed, lol, so try to think, so try to think that you always have players above you and players below you and that is a constant, in other words You have to focus in your game and forget the rest of the players, because remember chess is an objective game, sure You can play psychologically but the position tells the truth, so there are not good beginners or bad begginers there are only beginners, now I will be a begginer for a grandmaster and even a 2000 elo will be a begginer for him, so You see It is a relative thing.
If I can help you more tell me.
Motion
Hmm, 1500 seems a bit too high. I think he's about 1000, but that is not important.

Eulers, if you read this, we can play some games and I'll give you some tips as I see you're willing to improve.

I'm inclined to disagree with motion. There ARE such things as good and bad players, and we all start out dreadful.

The good news is, we can always improve with practice and become much stronger players.

To be brutally honest with you, your level isn't very high, but it's probably better than most beginners, so not to worry!

If you want to improve, practice is key. If you can't yet beat the level 1 bot, I'd recommend practicing on opponents closer to your level until you're confident and skilled enough to take it on!

I personally have much to learn about the game, but trust me when I tell you that if you keep at it, then you will become a much better chess player than you are now.

Good luck, and most importantly, have fun.
