I’d like some help in becoming better please
thank you i been trying to i didnt want to spend money but i might just to be able to do tactics more i play this a lot so might as well haha
I play mainly on the phone as well.. Those are the only two sites i play tactics on..
Biut there are some really good ppl to look up on YouTube like John Bartholomew.. "Climbing the ratings" is great to teach you how to play and think.
Ben Finegold is also a good person to look up.. Really funny as well.
Looks like you have only played blitz games here. Play longer or daily games so you have time to think carefully about your moves. When you can drive the car safely at 10 or 20 kph you will have a much better chance of controlling it when you are doing 80-100 kph.
Can someone help me I been watching YouTube videos and stuff but want to get better

"... In order to maximize the benefits of [theory and practice], these two should be approached in a balanced manner. ... Play as many slow games (60 5 or preferably slower) as possible, ... The other side of improvement is theory. ... This can be reading books, taking lessons, watching videos, doing problems on software, etc. ..." - NM Dan Heisman (2002)

"... If it’s instruction, you look for an author that addresses players at your level (buying something that’s too advanced won’t help you at all). This means that a classic book that is revered by many people might not be useful for you. ..." - IM Jeremy Silman (2015)

What helped me a lot was thinking in every position "How can I get an advantage?" Once you start to think in this way everything that you have learned about chess will come together and automatically point out to you what you should be trying to do and what the best plan or strategy might be, and you can then analyze using your acquired skills and knowledge to find the strongest possible moves. Of course, things like doing tactics, puzzles, studying the endgame, and working on your openings will all help you, but to truly get to the next level requires evaluating your mindset and how you are approaching the game.
i learned a few openings and right now im learning mid game i usually learned an opening and only used that opening to sort of see and learn what other people do to counter it i picked up a few things i been learning through trial and error like i said i play 10 min games a lot so i been noticing a lot of common counters to certain things so im able to prepare myself and predict the counters
Don't just play the game from your side you need to play from the opponents side too. Look at every single one of his pieces every time without fail & try to see where he could move next on his go . If you look carefully you might be able to spot the hidden danger before it happen's .. stuff like that. You need to start seeing into the future while playing.
