why am i so bad at chess ;-;
I don't understand why people think they can improve at chess by playing lots of blitz and bullet. That is your entire problem. Stop playing those time modes. Switch to 15|10. Use your time, do not blitz out the moves. You will improve.
Play rapid, learn basic opening principles and basic tactics. Blunder check and look for Checks, Captures, Attacks. Learn basic endgame checkmates and strategies. If you want to do a little more, then familiarize yourself with Italian and Spanish game opening positions because they are extremely popular and common at nearly all levels of chess.
I wish someday my ratings will be more than 600

What time control? If your a newer player you must start with longer time controls 10 min, 15 min, don't play blitz until your rapid is 1300 or higher. Step one secure your kings safety, by castling, step two development of center pawns or control of center four squares is crucial. Step 3, development of each power piece to their most active squares, think can this defend and attack? Step 4, see what happens if you move here? Does it achieve a goal or is it a blunder? Step 5 attack....
If you're new to chess and you don't yet have the logic of the game, you need a solid base.
Think about it: when a newborn tries to walk, they first need to stand up, and their legs must be strong enough to support them.
In chess, it's the same. Before attacking, your pieces need to be developed, connected, and protected. If you attack without a base, your position simply collapses.
The Framework
-
Learn core principles.
-
Apply them in slow games.
-
Analyze your decisions afterward.
This is the framework I use with students I coach.
Here are the core principles:
-
The Principle of Activity & Material: These are the two pillars of chess. You must constantly strive to increase the activity of your pieces while capturing material whenever it is freely given.
-
The Principle of the Least Active Piece: When you aren't sure what to play, identify your "worst" piece and improve its position. This is the secret to consistent positional play.
-
The Principle of Attack: Attacking moves are superior because they force the opponent to react. Prioritize calculating Forcing Moves (Checks, Captures, and Threats) before anything else.
-
Maximum Activity: Place your pieces as forward as possible to restrict your opponent.
-
Keeping the Tension: Do not release the tension (exchange pieces/pawns) unless it gives you a concrete advantage. Releasing tension often helps the opponent free their game.
-
The Principle of the Center: Centralization is the most efficient way to dominate the board.
-
Neutralization: If an opponent has an active piece on your territory, your immediate priority is to attack it, force it back, or exchange it.
-
The 3 Opening Tasks: 1) Develop pieces, 2) Castle, 3) Connect rooks.
-
Endgame Strategy: In the endgame, the logic changes: Activate your King, advance passed pawns, and attack opponent's weak pawns.

this game for example, you won, well done, but you don't know basic principles of queen + king chechmate, you need to create square
and then decrease it every turn to move the king to the edge and checkmate as you did in the game.
