Maybe I'm just too stupid for chess because I'm collecting loses left and right. Any tips for me to improve? even telling me to quit chess as a tips would honestly do at this point.

I've been playing a lot late of games, sometimes a day would have 20-30 games, and I can't seems to win beside pure luck. Maybe chess is just not for me and it's time for me to quit.

You should not tire yourself out with many games. You should do(my recommendation) is to play 3 rapid games and do this. You should do 3 rapid games and then you should apply what you learned like blunder checking and other’s and then you will use them like 2nd nature.

Go here in this blog called Chess Tips, Annotated Games, And Openings and check what you may be looking for and I’ll be updating this when I get the chance to. It may say unfinished, but that’s just a technical issue. Read this only for those people who know I am on ios I managed to make this because in a club I found a blog link and I clicked and I found the option to make a blog.

Don't be discouraged, friend. No one is born knowing everything, and the journey may be longer for some and shorter for others. For now, I only play against bots. I joined here at the end of August. Keep going, and good luck!

This might be my last resort on trying to improve since i don't have a talent for chess. Can you take a look at my games against NathanIsghostly? What did i even do wrong there?

You should have blunder checked because you played f4(the first move) which is not a good move to start with so you should learn an opening, but don’t memorize, but study the plans and what the moves accomplish. Blunder check always before every move and no exceptions. :)

Apparently opening isn't important, someone said that in this website forum so that's one thing less to worry about

Atleast know something. I don’t recommend for you to study alot and memorize and try to remember all these plans, but just knowing opening principles is good enough and then you can strt the middlegame

Stop playing blitz. That's all you play and you complain about not improving. You improve by playing longer time controls and practicing your calculation skills. Plus you need to be thoroughly reviewing every game - which I doubt you are doing right now.

Improving isn't about the amount of games you play. It's about the quality. 1-3 rapid games each day, using your time, and reviewing each game will do much more for you than playing hundreds of blitz/bullet games.

Stop playing blitz now. You are moving intuitively and not analysing the position and thinking it through properly. Play much slower, I like 30/0 best. If you don't have an hour to spare then a couple of puzzles is a much better use of your time than a couple of fast games.

The only lesson that I ever learned from blitz is that blunders are a result of moving too fast, always.

You didnt' take care of your king's safety. That's the most important thing in chess.
