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.

How do i review my games? I mean i did review my games and saw that i made a mistake and the next game i did the same mistake again. It feels like not important to review your games beside seeing how you lose and how bad you play

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.

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

I mean i didn't even move my king so how did i was endangering my king?

Here's a video from KeSetoKaiba. Reviewing your games and learning from them is critical. As is playing longer time controls. If you keep playing nothing but blitz, you will not get better. If you are serious about chess improvement, you need to switch and give yourself time to think.

All great advice from a lot of good players. I am not very good but since this has no direct effect on my life what does it matter. Unless you decide to devote copious amounts of time to get really good it really doesn't matter much if you win or lose. Just play your best at that time and wing it. If have it you will get better, if you don't like me go with flow have an enjoyable evening winning one and losing ten. My dog still likes me and I think my wife still loves me. Most will disagree with me but that is my take.

You need to get a lot better at counting. Of your last 10 games, you've lost 2 and won 8.

Depends how seriously you take the game.

If It's not too serious, you shouldn't be worried.

You need to use reward and punishment methods to train your brain to do better at chess. When you win you should do something that will stimulate euphoria in your brain like drop acid. When you lose you can try breaking one of your fingers. This will rewire your brain to turn you into a paranoid schizoid and you will realize you weren't ever going to improve your Elo anyway but at least now you're tripping balls so its all good.

So what you're saying is that I can't improve because i don't have the talent for chess?

Well I'm neither good or bad at math but why are you asking about math subject? And the game i won is on 10 minutes because some people suggest i should play longer and i can see i can think without worrying about time tho some of them i won by luck or the opponents running out of time
