How can people even reach 1600??

I mean I have really tried for the past 3 months playing consistently everyday yet I am at 650 rated. I keep losing games even though I try not to blunder non knowing how. I really do not understand this. For me these dudes are like playing a different game.

Until you are a master (or maybe 1600 according to some folks), your opening repertoire (first name) is tactics, your middlegame strategy (middle name) is tactics, and your endgame technique (last name) is tactics. Do these tactics, analyze your errors with them for each and every single problem you get wrong, and don’t stop until you nearly hate them and strongly consider quitting chess forever (I am being serious) … then keep doing them for another 2-3 years.
