I can help you change that.

Stop wasting your time

- watching videos that are not best suited for you,

- reading books written for strong players.

have worked with many players at different levels.

I can identify the mistakes that you are making so that you can stop doing them.

Also I will teach you many new concepts that you're not familiar with or don't clearly understand how they work.

To get started you can DM here in chesscom

you can also check out my profile for more details,

maybe the players you're facing irl are weaker than you. online chess is not easy Many players take their ratings seriously and play for the win. so you have to train better than they do to win.

I would be more than happy to further consult you if you want that just send me a DM.

I am tired of being a beginner, these tips have not helped the slightest

Not really. Calculating and concentrating are extremely hard due to medical reasons thus making improving very tough. I treat chess games mainly as an adventure I go on, winning or losing isn't what counts the most. Last 2 days were mainly downwards for me in blitz. Even 400 elo opponents don't make obvious mistakes because I can't put pressure anymore. Got down to 330 (was 500 days ago).

But it's ok, I just try to have fun and enjoy myself. Also I will never try to learn openings as I just can't

I am glad what GothamChess said in one youtube video, that you shouldn't make your self-worth depending on results or elo anxiety. He helped me so much in many videos, I was once 762 rapid in my old account, I'm proud of that even though I am now thankful I can stay above 400 rapid.

They're both important but don't spend all your time on openings.

20/40/40 rule

20% openings

40% middlegame

40% endgames

What advice do you have for me?

Openings become relevant and helpful around 1000, and mandatory around 1800.
