I can't reach 600 in rapid. Its too hard

I got to 580!

I want to play more, but im a bit tired and will probably lose and drop back down

At 591 rating now.

So tempted to continue playing, but its 3am and I am not at my best so i should put it off for tomorrow 

Good night guys

Try to play slower time controls, in the direction of classical games (30 minutes or more) and take your time. If you apply principles you should improve fast.

Davidkimchi started his quest to become a GM 3 months ago. In these 3 months, he took a grand total of 1 lesson on chess.com. Amazing dedication.

I played over 700 games and have done countless puzzles on lichess.

Not enough to become a GM though

lmfao 

essentially though the best way for doing things is just playing the chess bots, you see my rapid rating is 717 but I actually play at around 1500 (people say I do anyways)

I am able to beat the Nelson bot (Antonio I've gotten very close with a few times) and everything under it.

the best thing with the bots is that there isn't a timer so you can take the time to find a playing style that you really can get by on. I like to personally do the napoleons attack as it's very aggressive and being an aggressive player I naturally can do pretty well with it. 

I found that after a few chess bot games I was able to move in games a bit faster and the timer had nothing on me because I had found the opening style that I preferred and could get by on so yeah chess bots keep trying those every day and go from lowest to highest possible every single day. 

If you want me to though I can play you and see how your style is and recommend a few openings (I'd probably know a few more aggressive openings than defensive)

Sure thing

Best i could beat is Nelson bot with takebacks.  

I beat the 1000 zombie bot pretty easily too.

All the bots under Nelsons rating are pretty easy and their ratings seem inflated

Yeah I found it weird how Nelson was so aggressive, thing is with Nelson, he's so worried about his queen you can take advantage of that

do you have time for the game now? I'm feeling a bit tired but I can prolly stay up for another game

Sure, I have time all day. 

I have been playing 10 min rapid games

i wish you can not  be afraid of rate,if you want ,find me and ask me questions,i will do my best to help you

wish you analyze after play ,study opening and see databases,thats what i do when i am 600

You don't get better by playing blitz. Getting better allows you to play blitz. Improve your chess and you will be able to speed it up.

Isn't blitz like 3 minutes and under? 

I have thought about playing 15 minute time controls with increments instead of 10. IS that still too short

I have done that many times, but as a free member it doesn't offer much detail and theres a limit to how many games you can analyze.

It would tell me what some of my mistakes and blunders are, without going into much detail. Are diamond memberships more informative when it comes to game analysis

With Diamond you can get insights, which literally tell you where you need to improve and when you play worst.

Only diamond gives you insights.

I have finally reached 600!! Wooooo

Now im scared to play since ill probably lose and drop back down. Need a break

When you're on a streak: plunge!

back to 584

Keep losing to guys over 550
