No amount of practice can make your brain think quicker, seriously. The best chess players are quick thinkers. It's reality, you have to accept it, I don't want to, but I will never be very good at chess.
I played a 400 they wiped the floor with me, if I was playing a GM I would have a stood a better chance. I have never seen even 1000+ ELO play like that, yet their previous games were terrible, just throwing pieces away. In just one game they went from 400 ELO rating to like 3000+ stock fish level ELO. They had me pinned down and I couldn't even move a piece.
Now they improved their chess in just one game, how did they manage that?
Well Lee, I looked through your entire game history and the game you just described does not exist. At no point have you even come close to being beaten by a 400- in fact, you've never even played against a 400. Everyone you have played has been round about your own rating level, except one user, shelleyhynson, who was a 167, and you checkmated her in 20 moves, up 23 points of material. The stockfish game review says that she played like a 200.
And you haven't lost most of your games because your clock ran down, you've only lost 21.4% of your games to timeout. Of your lost games, most (46.4%!!!) were resigned by you. If you want to improve your win/draw rate, stop resigning. If you want to get better at playing fast chess, play more of it. I still recommend 15+10 instead of 20, and more frequent games.
You need to rest more

I didn't play a 400? You did a complete check and that game doesn't exist?

Right, I see.
That game wasn't showing up in your archive. And I genuinely don't understand what 1 cheater has to do with you complaining that your brain is too slow to ever play decent rapid chess no matter how much you practice, after only 115 games.
But by all means, quit rather than taking my advice.

It could be the lack of "laid." Always bumps my ego up 25 to 50 pts.
Yeah I double checked and it wasn't a daily, I assumed it was since I hadn't found it after combing through your rapid, that's why I amended my comment. Still not seeing why the whining about losing a single rapid game to a 400 who was either cheating or more careful than you, has any relevance to the complaint that you're too slow for chess. Sounds like a random gripe.
Take a rest, or play unrated matches to eases your mind
I'm currently trying to recover from a losing streak of 87 points.
It is okay trust me I am new and i lose all the time. so yeah.
