It's just another day in Paradise.
The chess.com forum is always like this.

@blueemu alright good. as i mentioned, im realtively new to chess. still figuring it out. im just curious how everyone found time to have an international debate. like some of these responses are well thought out and long. I bought this book, and I'm now starting to really learn the endgames. The book is "The complete book of chess strategy" by IM Jeffrey Silman. Despite my seeming arrogance according to someone on this chain, I have learned some solid stuff on here that I can build off of. Especially from you.

and wondering why my rating is so low. Take a look at this game.
You should take a look at that game. On move 5 black hangs a queen and white does not take it. Then the game follows in a similar manner, every second move is a beginner-level blunder. How white ever got above 1000 is a mystery.

@magipi any tips on how to optimally review games. After watching this I realize I should not have posted that. And my rating was 130 then I think in rapid. So, how should I review games most optimally?

FOR ANYONE THAT GOES AND STALKS MY BULLET RATING:
It is still in the 100's because I pretty much ditched that bracket for ten minute. I have played very few games in that bracket since.

Good plan. Bullet and Blitz are for entertainment, not for improving your game.

Well, go through the moves, try to spot the biggest mistakes (by both sides), and try to decide what you or the opponent could have done differently.
Then go through the game again with an engine, and check whether the engine agrees with you or not. If not, why not? What did you miss, what did you miscalculate?
It takes time. Sometimes it takes a lot of time.
If you can't figure out something, ask in the forums.

I have been really considering buying diamond to review my games. @magipi do you think I should bite the bullet and get it?
If you play someone who never played before, you are probably looking pretty good.

what's helped me personally is always thinking about what the opponent can do, not just yourself, and if I realize i'm on a tilting streak, I try to stop playing for a while and come back later

In my opinion, "Game review" does not help at all. It is much worse and less user friendly than "Analysis". And Analysis is free.
If someone wants to buy membership for unlimited puzzles and lessons, that has value. But "Game review" has nothing.
Just don't give up :3
Me too I do feel the sam
But what to do this is life
Lol

This is in no way meant to sound harsh but if you’re 400 - pretty much everything you could possibly be doing wrong, you are doing.
But the biggest factor is certainly: hanging pieces, missing basic threats/mates, failing to take free pieces and basically everything you can think of to do with board vision.
If you can improve board awareness / safety / threats / vision - even just a little bit, you’ll definitely see gains in your rating.
Completely agree. 400s are missing all kinds of things all the time. Some players exhibit dunning kruger and do not appreciate the large skill gaps between different groups of players.
I have had friends rated ~200, 350, 600, 800 play together and I can see significant differences in their play. If the OP is interested in improvement, they should link games and have people provide feedback.
Is this suppost to be some prank? I was playing games consistently with accuracies of 60-70 % when I was 200. Nowadays My usual accuracy is 75 to 80. I do not agree with this at all
Accuracies are not the same across all elo ratings. Most of your games are against 500s. It's very easy to have high scores against them. Your usual accuracy of 75 would drop be more like 20 if you regularly played stronger players. So @BoredErica is completely right. Be humble and listen to stronger players than you. Thinking that you know more than a titled player when you're 600 is insane
When in existence was I saying I know more than a titled player? Also I am pretty sure that stockfish evaluations dont change when the rating changes. I am really getting confused on what is going on over here on this forum.
@BoredErica Ill have you know that was a rough game. Why dont you take a look at the majority of games and some of my dailies.
