The joke in that video is Beth Harmon is a really good player and doesn’t make mistakes. Queen Elsa started with the worst opening and still won. Haha. Bongcloud it!

Yeah I totally get that, I was there too. Working really hard and seeing no improvement, but one day I just kind of woke and and everything I’d learned had sunk in and my level rose by like 100 points in a day

Maybe try to take it a little lighter. You should join less tournaments and use the time to do something...something you like... You should maybe study only a few times a week and try playing a few times a week. If you feel, very depressed and tired, sleep more and do something entertaining other than using all your time on chess. Take it lightly. A wonderful way of getting better is watching ChessKid. It wonderful, and educational. If you feel like quitting chess, don’t be held back. Tell others what you feel. Your always encouraged to do what you want. If you feel like none of this would make you feel better with it, don’t be sad to quit chess. I believe everyone will understand you, even if they seem heartbroken. Be yourself, think of yourself as...unique...okay? That is what I would tell my children. I care of others feelings and I hope you get a little better or a lot better. If you don’t feel comfortable to tell someone, draw a picture or write something. You could also try to do things like lift weights or write an essay. Whatever would make you get your mind off of chess. Just please don’t feel sad and discouraged or I will be sad for you, too. Just, please. Do not worry. Everything would be fixed okay? Try making yourself a better person. I have the same feeling, but I thought for some time... and, I decided it was better for me to...well, not quit. We should never give up. That’s what teachers and parents told you, maybe. This is called perseverance. Always stay near see one if you don’t feel great alone, okay? I think it would go fine, as long as you follow some wonderful advice. Cheer up! Be yourself and be wonderful, okay? I care...I care a lot about people...if only I can give money to the poor, homeless people on the streets...If only...I was...older...huh...sadly, I’m still nine.

No matter what i do how i train, Ive tried to train my brain in the most uncomfortable position no matter what, I still can't calulate well, I'm not missing intermezzo moves, but i feel like this is the end, I'll still beat the lower-rateds but I feel I can't improve my calulation much now, Im good at attacking expoliting weakness and making them, but without calulation everything's worthless.

I'm obviously not exactly qualified to talk about chess skill, but one idea I have is to look at master games and see how the best (humans) get it done. I've tried it, and while pairing it with training, I've been seeing massive improvement in my game.
