stuck at 500 rapid

I have been stuck at 500 rating for more than 6 months, and I can still beat my friends who are at an intermediate rating. So if possible can any intermediate or advanced player check a few of my recent(rapid) games and give some suggestions or endgame tactics to improve my chess.

I haven't been playing many rapid games coz I don't get much time because of school and academics, but still manage to play atleast 2 or 3 rapid games a week

Just solve puzzles every day and soon you will see your improving

What a surprise. Another poster who plays rapid at bullet speed. You can’t be blundering your queen in 1 second in the opening. You shouldn’t consistently have more time on the clock at 15/10 than you started with multiple moves into the game. Use your time to think, instead of just trying to win on the clock. Then you can see how good you actually are and can start to consider what you may need to work on. Just slow down, like everyone else needs to.

#4. I am not suprised.

I suggest u training with Bots.

I reviewed a few of your games and #4 is 100% right. The 3 rapid games I looked at all have you blitzing out the moves and not using your time. It gets worse than that. You play rapid irregularly and play much more blitz and bullet, which will actually make you worse. That's what is keeping you down. You need to play rapid or longer, you need to use the time available to calculate and think things through, and you need to review every one of your games.

Your improvement is not connected to playing as many games as possible. If you played 1-3 games of rapid per day, used your time, and thoroughly reviewed each game afterwards and tried to learn from it, you would be improving.

Are there any Arabs here?

Learn exactly how to think in the opening, middlegame and endgame — this is what I teach.
Always blunder-check your moves.
Solve tactics in the right way.
Analyze your games.
Study games of strong players.
Learn how to be more psychologically resilient.
Work on your time management skills.
Get a coach if you can.

Think before you move. If you play fast, you're destined to be stuck at 500 forever.

Here's a good example.

This game was played with a 10|5 time control. My opponent premoved nearly half of the moves they played, and there was only one or two instances where they took more than 2-3 seconds to make a move. Even though I admittedly played pretty horribly, I still won the game, because I quickly realized they weren't thinking about their moves at all and exploited it to my advantage.

Obviously, you can tell this person is not 500-rated, but the idea is still there.

Nice

I was stuck at 300.

I didnt complain.

You shouldnt too

Take more time to calculate especially since you are playing 15|10

I was stuck at 600 but found a key point. THINK (except bullet)

In one of your games you missed mate in one. Tactics puzzles tactics puzzles…

#13-14. He is thinking. In their games they started with 15min/10sec and ended with 7min. Puzzzzzzzlesssssss. Rules to optimize the use of the bishop and knight.

Piece value depends on position.
Bishops are best in open positions.
A bad bishop is blocked by pawns—trade it off.
Bishops shine in endgames with pawns on both flanks.
The bishop pair controls both color complexes—use it.
Knights thrive in closed positions because they jump over pieces.
Knights are strongest in the center because they are short range.
Place knights on outposts—protected squares the enemy can’t contest. Trade off anything that can remove your knight before placing it.
Knights are great in endgames with pawns on one side—they're slow to switch flanks.
Prevent enemy outposts and remove their knights without weakening your own position. If you can’t remove them then just watch out for them, but it is always better to prevent then to successfully defend.

Nice sterile ai generated suggestions #16

I made it originally, but was too lazy to make it shorter myself. Sorry

Thank you all for the suggestions, yeah I do kinda spend less time in my recent games, and I will use my time responsibly for thinking.I do solve puzzles but ofc up to a limit as I'm not having a subscription and do solve puzzle rush almost every day.

#10 16. ... Qxa2+ would have been fatal, but good example
