I am so curious about how do I raise my rating. I know many useful openings, how do fork, how do pin, how do play correct opening, middle game, and Endgame, but somehow I always play blunder or bad move in 50% to 60% of games I played. My goal is reach to 1000, but I'm not sure I can improve myself. Can anyone tell me some tips?

I have some resources at the bottom of this blog post:

Everyone blunders; even grandmasters. We are human and don't play consistently well all the time; what makes them professionals at chess is that they blunder much less frequently, but they still blunder. Have patience and understanding towards yourself when you do occasionally blunder. Try to analyze your own games to learn from your mistakes and hopefully you'll blunder less often.

Easy. Stop playing blitz and bullet. Most people aren't able to improve if they don't work on their calculation skills, and you can't do that if you don't give yourself time to think. I see you playing some daily games, but with the shear amount of blitz and bullet you are playing, you are just reinforcing bad habits. I think if you switched to a handful of rapid games each day, used the time you had available, and reviewed your games afterwards, you would see drastic improvement.

1. Openings will not solve your problem.

2. Speed chess will not solve your problem.

The only things that will solve your problem is:

Patience.

Play slow time controls.

Earnest and honest study. Not reading chess books but actually studying them. Not watching a video 1 time. Watching it multiple times along with taking notes.

Using a real board and pieces and taking notes.

Good Luck!
