You are correct but i made that account WHICH I ALREADY CLOSED AS I DID WITH  ALL THE OTHERS just to make some more tests under 800 league. I am up for almost 20 hours now, but I made un ultimate effort to be able to comment from an account that got to 1150+ level just to show what i achieved  already during the daytime in Europe where some mods deleted my coments although i hit 1200+ in a few lucky games  .In the USA where is now daytime  people are more liberal and accept different opinions, not the case in Europe or Asia. Although i mentioned that i closed all the other accounts before using the latter they still stopped me and deleted my comments but you can see why i can't still agree with anyone .Now i am going to sleep.If they give me later the right to post pictures i'll post the games under that account(WHICH IS CLOSED!!!!) that got to 1200+ just to make my statements clear.Now i am too tired to try to get over 1200 but in a good day i'll manage that again.

As for demk77 game...he played very quick establishing a very fast pace that made me blunder a lot...i was almost going asleep when you wrote your comment, but i thought i should make an ultimate effort and raise an account to the right level to make myself understood...

Unfortunately talking about fake accounts here became somehow a TABU when  IM Eric Rosen said that he played with Fabio Caruana that was under a fake account  which he found out  from a message he was sent from Caruana  himself ...It's actually very normal for  a GM to use fake accounts if he wants to challenge lower rated opponents to discover new talents in  anew generation and maybe learn something unexpectedly new and interesting...At the same time he wouldn't like to screw his  prestige if a totally unknown player  rated 1000 less points beats him. Eric Rosen admited that he lost 99% of the games to Caruana but won one which he taught as an interesting variation of the London system. I can't put links or photo yet...I had only 5 games under this last account...

personally I dont, getting demotivated, while obviously brutal and terrible to go through, is still a choice. I turned off the ratings range of opponents ratings and do open challenges to play players much more advanced than me and take full advantage of the analysis features especially when I feel like I had a particularly good or bad game against someone rated significantly higher than me. I'm new to taking chess seriously and actively trying to improve my game so getting my ass kicked is always an experience to be learned from in my opinion. I just played a blitz game to day with a guy that was rated at 1035 and lost by timeout. I didnt focus on the fact that I lost the game but on the fact that I have a 200 something rating in blitz and I've been reading books and learning as much as possible about strategy and was able to avoid a checkmate against a much more advanced player than me. I reviewed the game with my original plan in mind and now I know exactly why It didnt work and how to prevent a similar situation. just keep your chin up and take it in stride. make an effort to 7nderstand your losses as opposed to dwelling on the fact that you lost. because 1: you're gonna keep losing if losing makes you sad and 2: it's just chess. I'm hoping the whole reason your into it is because you enjoy it so make an effort to continue doing that.

Try to play more slower with more slower games. If you still keep losing try out chess.com lessons and tactics. lichess.com is easier than chess.com too so you should try lichess.com if u keep losing.

For you an IM with a rating of 2400 playing against 1200 and his rating is 1200 on chess.com.

Yeah yeah. It doesn't matter how much you tried. Result always same. Loses more than winning. Opening this..........opening that. If you have low IQ like me,it Will unlikely change your rating too much. That's demotivation for me.
