If you don't think you're good enough, it's probably your lack of self-confidence.
I feel like quitting chess...

You are very good at tactics just like I was, you know your openings, theory, endgame techniques. But how do you find the best move in a position. Sometimes you just need to make moves that aren't blunders to win. Let your opponent mess up, and give them opportunities, your opponent isn't perfect, use that.
thanks

If you can get to that Blitz rating you can definitely up your OTB and rapid. Just get used to it and don't feel rushed. You don't need to calculate too crazy to improve a bit more. You got this far, which is pretty far... so don't give up.

Lmao I started learning chess, like recognizing tactics and stuff. Before, I knew tactics, but I never remembered patterns, and I didn't know ANY checkmate patterns besides the very basics. I'm surprised I was such a high rating.

If u feel like quitting then quit.
Believe it or not ur decision isn't that important. ur just an average chess player who will most likely never make a living off of chess. It won't affect your life if u stop or continue playing. It's just a hobby for u, like the 99% of us here.
So stop trying to garner attention from a useless concept like this because u cant think of anything else to post about, and just make ur decision and stick with it

Here is a little brain trick, when your learning has plateaued, try teaching what you've learned. It will reinforce your understanding and could lead to insights and breakthroughs.

Batman2508: If I was as driven to excel at chess as you seem to be, I would take personal, one-on-one lessons from a master in your area with demonstrated teaching skills. S/he would quickly drill down to deficiencies in your game, and given your drive, bet you would see pretty quick improvement. Good luck!

Your accuracy has been good, no need to lie and say all games though.
