500-2000 blitz is easy. Just play thousands of games and give it 2-3 years if ur serious. Do A LOT OF TACTICS.
i can not progress past 600 rating
Sort:
Looking at your games...i think actually all you need to do is concentrate better. Maybe you aren't well rested enough when you play? That could actually explain the mistakes you are making.
try doing some puzzles. simply playing games in and of itself never resulted in any improvement for me. like, none whatsoever. i think the puzzles at your level will help train your eyes to be more aware of hanging pieces which is generally the issue at that level i suspect.

When I started playing chess, I don't even know there is a chess clock. We played 20-30 minutes per game. So I suggest playing not faster than 10 minutes per player per game. Avoid multitasking for a while until you reach 1200.

He closed his account which sucks. If you play the game to only improve and you don't draw any enjoyment from playing It would be hard to keep the motivation up.

Im stock in 1000 and is hard to keep your rating and progress, you should study, here in chess.com have good tutorials of openings, mid game and endings. And other thing you can do is analize your games after you play, in this way you can see your mistakes. But don't surrender, you will be better with effort.
Chess.com puzzles, Opening explorer. Both are excellent tools for improvement. Improvement is inevitable.

I have written many blogs on complete chess training and recently i have launched a Youtube Channel as well for those enthusiastic learners. I play only half an hour a day because of my busy schedule but still i managed to reach that 2000 rating. If you follow the right training method, one year is more than enough.

You can improve your rating if you use the analysis engine here on chess.com. If you cannot pay for the required membership you can google and download the Lucas Chess app which is free.

Dear GMfurry,
I am a certified, full-time chess coach, so I hope I can help you. 
Everybody is different, so that's why there isn't only one general way to learn. First of all, you have to discover your biggest weaknesses in the game and start working on them. The most effective way for that is analyzing your own games. Of course, if you are a beginner, you can't do it efficiently because you don't know too much about the game yet. There is a built-in engine on chess.com which can show you if a move is good or bad but the only problem is that it can't explain to you the plans, ideas behind the moves, so you won't know why it is so good or bad.
You can learn from books or Youtube channels as well, and maybe you can find a lot of useful information there but these sources are mostly general things and not personalized at all. That's why you need a good coach sooner or later if you really want to be better at chess. A good coach can help you with identifying your biggest weaknesses and explain everything, so you can leave your mistakes behind you. Of course, you won't apply everything immediately, this is a learning process (like learning languages), but if you are persistent and enthusiastic, you will achieve your goals.
In my opinion, chess has 4 main territories (openings, strategies, tactics/combinations and endgames). If you want to improve efficiently, you should improve all of these skills almost at the same time. That's what my training program is based on. My students really like it because the lessons are not boring (because we talk about more than one areas within one lesson) and they feel the improvement on the longer run. Of course, there are always ups and downs but this is completely normal in everyone's career.
I hope this is helpful for you. Good luck with your games!
I too have a poor elo.
But I'm enjoying the challenge.
Why does my elo rate higher when I play a bot.
Are the bot ratings accurate.
Upto a 1000 they make unbelievable mistakes.
When I play real players rated 600. They play loads better.
Can someone clear this up.

Play less games, review when you lose, switch up openings, lessons and puzzles are all you need.

I'm under the assumption that all the 600+ players are secretly GMs because I have trouble winning too..

Play a lot, analyze your games, and primarily study tactics. Your knowledge of openings, endgame, middlegame, etc. will come from analyzing your games and going over grandmaster games. Only study one of those specific topics if it is clear you are specifically losing because of that topic.

As a coach, I can help you with any part of that process. Good luck!
6 months is just too short. Improvement can take time. What is the chess book that you studied?
I must agree with what my kababayan has said. Six months is too short a time to expect great improvement, unless you devote a huge amount of time to chess, and who can afford to do that? I would add that worrying about improving your rating very quickly is going to stress you out, and will actually make it harder to improve.
Find a method of study that feels comfortable, and stick with it. Everybody has their own way. The "correct" way is whatever way brings you enjoyment! For me, I really like to play out the games of great players I admire. When I do that, often a sudden flash of inspiration will strike me...I somehow understand what the player is trying to do.
I think chess should be something to enjoy, no matter what your rating is. When one is stressing out over it, maybe it's better to occupy one's free time doing something else.
No matter how low your rating is, you can find players with a similar rating. By playing against them, both of you will learn to be better.
