I have been playing for 50 years, my rating on chess.com swings between 1150 and 1450, I lose more than I win, and often I find the game discouraging and depressing. Still, I play nearly every day.
I regularly review my games, do puzzles daily — and this does not help my play become stronger. Studying games of strong players leaves me confused.
A lot have that issue I never even begun to understand half of hikarus moves till recently try figuring out what your doing wrong and try to fix it it might now help but it is worth a shot
Are you analyzing your games correctly or just doing the normal thing of looking at stockfish and just listening to it instead ?"
"Try figuring out what you're doing wrong" - That's my question: how do I figure out what I am doing wrong? The analysis on chess.com gives no indication of how to think differently about a wrong move.
"Are you analyzing your games correctly?" - Surely not, since I do not improve. But what is correct analysis?
That's why I don't use stockfish analyze lol or if I do I just use it to see accuracy numbers honestly there's not really a perfect way to analyze but some are better than others trying to think of plans you should have done instead of a bad move you played (or you played a good move by there was an even better move that you could have played btw stockfish struggles on those ) or if it's playing style you might wanna change that
