So basically my rating used to be 300 in blitz and I kept winning like all of my games! But then one I got to like 500 and then I started to lose most of my games! Stupid blunders, checkmates I couldn’t see, pieces I could capture for free but didn’t see them so ya I need help.

Hello! You play a lot of 3 minute blitz. I'd recommend longer time controls. If you want to stay with blitz, do 5 minutes. But I think you'll get more out of rapid games and doing a blunder check before each move. Puzzles can help you see more checkmating patterns and basic tactics - so if you aren't doing them, making them part of your daily chess routine can really help. Lichess offers unlimited puzzles and they are higher quality than the ones on chess.com imo. If you aren't reviewing your games and looking for where you went wrong, you should be. Playing 20+ games per day and not reviewing but expecting improvement is unrealistic.

Good luck!

You need to play rapid and do blunder checks, then make blunder checks intuitive, then play blitz again.

Hi, I would recommend playing rapid.And I also had such a situation only in rapid with a rating of 1000 with something, I started losing and lowered the rating to 700, but I realized my mistake and started thinking longer and thinking when the opponent thinks, and this led me to 1100
