I have been playing & studding chess for close to 3 years. I can't seem to keep my win ratio up enough to gain rating points. I play 30 min games and some of the people I play are so difficult for me to beat. I did improve after doing thousands of tactics puzzles over the last year and got up to nearly 900, but I lost all of it and now I'm hard stuck at 600. I don't know if anyone can look at my games and find a weakness to specifically study that may be holding me back? I try to analyze my games. I do see my blunders and know why I lose sometimes. I have to rely on the engine to see what I did wrong. I can't seem to get past the tactics wall of 2000 in puzzles and puzzles no longer translate to improved game play the same way it did prior. Thank you for any help. *Note: I know I resign games. I do so when I'm 100% I can't recover when I feel I have no moves to make. Or make a major blunder that I can't come back from.
