How to Gain Elo

It would seem that you’re 400 elo on rapid. I would suggest not to make 1 move blunders, do not try to sacrifice ANYTHING unless you’re sure it will gain you material or win you the gain. Use the 20-40-40 rule which is spend 20% studying opening 40% middle game and 40% on end games. And stick to 1 opening to both black and white.

your elo will NVER increase becuase this site refuses to stop the RAMPANT CHEATING I have been begging them for weeks to do someting about it and it falls on deaf ears I reallly hope I get banned for this then i will go to Lichess where they tell you who uses computer assistance.

Just as a curiosity, where have you been experiencing this "RAMPANT CHEATING"? If you have a game that you are 100% sure that there was use of computer aid against you and there was no ELO refunding for you after it ended, can you share it? I feel the community would benefit from learning more about this issue and your experience with it.

Also, to get back on topic, usually your elo is refunded if chess.com catches a cheater. I also find that playing a lot of chess games and sometimes taking a break when you get tilted helps you gain chess elo.

@Ducky321PG Besides playing live games and a few daily have you figured out any kind of study plans yet?

Well I do have the caro-kann course on chessly (I'm a gotham fan)

Keep using that Caro course! I have used it for a while now and it has helped me greatly. If you have another course that covers d4 than that is also really helpful. If you don't, Chess.com is partnered with Chessable which has some free courses that you can use. Hope this helps.
