Slow down.

Not to brag but sometimes I lose 8 times in a row on bad days (not this account). One thing you can do that would give immediate results is ask yourself before you make your move: Am I overlooking something?

Don't. Openings are almost irrelevant. Most chess games are decided in the middlegame, and the rest is decided in the endgame.

There are a lot of stuff to do with your time that's much more helpful than thinking about openings. Puzzles. Endgames. Chess videos. Chess books.

Here is all you need to know for now:

Opening principles:

Develop toward the center.

Castle.

Connect your rooks.

Blunder check your moves: "Are my pieces safe?"

Ask yourself: "What is my opponent trying to do?"

If all youre playing is speed chess then dont expect to improve. If you cant go through each of the above items one at a time without losing on time then youre playing too fast and need to play longer time controls.

I agree with magipi. More important at this stage in your chess development is to practice good chess principles - control the center, develop your minor pieces, castle your king to safety by move 10. Make an escape hatch for your king to avoid back rank checkmates. Move your queen off the back rank, connecting your rooks, and move the rooks towards the center file. Making all of these things habits is much more important right now then memorizing openings. e4/e5 will work fine. And if your opponent doesn't put a pawn in the center, play d4 or d5 (depending on if you are white or black) and take the whole center for yourself.

"cuz im a bullet chess player".

You have to learn chess first, and then get better at any time control.

And by playing bullet you will never learn anything else than whining.

It's mostly about following certain principles when playing. That helped me reach 2000+ and that is what I teach others to help them do the same.
