I feel like my progress is unnoticeable

I think you need a coach. And before some troll accuses me of abusing forums to solicit students - it doesn't have to be me.

You need someone to help you change your chess thinking process. I don't think there is any book, video, or software that can do that.

Here are some of things you need to improve:

- Psychology. You allow your losses to take over your emotions and destroy your self-esteem. You can't make progress until you learn to accept losses and treat them as opportunities for learning, not for self-hatred.

- Blunders. You have some understanding of chess fundamentals, but you keep making simple blunders. I don't know what you're doing for tactics training, but your tactical vision clearly needs improvement

- A more specific approach to analysis. As far as I can tell, you think almost entirely in generalities. I didn't see a single variation in any of your analyzed games. This is a very common error below ~2000 level. You will notice a marked improvement in your game once you're able to think and calculate specifically, not just in terms of general plans and concepts.

You will get there, it just takes time and patience. In our first game you played accurately and logically and it was only a single fatal oversight which cost you the game. In our second game so far you have made no mistakes to my eyes. The last guy I tried to help out by playing and talking through the moves in daily chess would make wildly speculative sacrifices and move almost instantly but could not understand why he was not able to improve. 

The third game: You were doing quite well when f3 unnecessarily weakened your Kingside.

And when you said "All my pieces are in each other's ways" I was instead struck by their coordination. The Bishops are perfectly placed, the Knights can jump to c4 and d3.

Very positive! I think sometime a player see only the negative and with few encourage words might build up some confidence in a player. I think for low rated player he trying to play correct and in the long run he can become a strong player.

This is very good advice if one can affort chess lesson. I like how FM chuddog breaks it down in category, he seem to be a very good teacher.

@ BasicChess22, don't be hard on yourself, you trying to play sound opening and in the long run you will improve. Your opponent is one trick pony, all about attacking the king and breaking a lot opening principles, this is not a recipe for success, Yes!, he won in your game but next time I bet with a little more studying you will be the one winning. Every player goes through this, we grapple with our loses and disappointments but we must persevere. A player who is willing to learn and study will eventually become a strong player, every lost is opportunity to see what you did wrong and correct it. I can prove to you that will get to higher level, you remember about being flexible and in your third game you brought the bishop to e2, you did two thing unpin your knight on f3 and prevent a lost of your d4-pawn.

 You try to make plans and you also want to play sound that alone show you really want to improve.

 Study your third game there is a lot good thing you did and you had advantage and won position in your game. One miss opportunity was 17.Bxg4+ is crushing, your opponent king is box in and won a pawn too. 19.Kxh2 maybe is correct but your opponent is not strong enough, a lot why a player not take h2-pawn for shelter and to give time for our attack, look at your knight going to a5, you win a pawn and harass king position. 

My friend was very stubborn and stay at 1400 uscf for ten years and maybe longer, he final out desperation ask me what I can I do to get better in chess? I said play sound chess, must play 1.e4 and study two books: Logical Chess: Move by Move and The Most Instructive Games Of chess Ever played, the first book taught my friend how to attack and some positional concepts and second book more positional concepts and how to play the endgame, my friend ( 1400 uscf) was always bad in the endgame and avoid it but he study those two books, he climb in two years to 1800 uscf.  We get stuck because we lack knowledge, good chess books can get you to higher level. How can we form a plan when don't know what to do. Tactics and endgame is so important, for me that is my bread and butter; I remember I played sloppy against A-player (1800-1999) and lost a pawn and had the bad bishop, my opponent was counting on a win. I made it so complicated and sacrifice another pawn to open more lines in this lost endgame, I almost won but drew instead of losing.

1. Get a decent strategy book so you have an idea of good plans and a simple grasp of positional understanding.
2. Practice tactics while on the pooper. 
3. Pick openings that fit your style and stick with them. Get a good dvd on them. I would suggest 2nd lines and not main line systems. It has a psychological effect IMO (like the Portuguese Gambit or c3 Sicilians) and you still get playable positions. Or pick systems that are similar: Caro Kann vs e4 and Semi Slav vs D4. 
4. Keep track of your games in an excel spreadsheet. After every game analyze it. IMO play blitz. You'll learn your openings quicker and feel more confident after taking your beatings. (You will take some seriuous beatings and your rating will go down, but once you have a solid foundation in openings you'll improve A LOT) Blitz is faster way of learning IMO, but ONLY if you analyze your games immediately after to see where you could have improved AND once you have some positional understanding and ideas of the plans involved.
   
   I don't think there is a better plan for improvement in a quicker fashion.
   
   It's practical and effective. IMO

Your last game is rather OK. What is not OK is your evaluations...

When you comment "I misplayed this horribly, but i just figured..." and "Now i just look dumb here my pieces are all in each others way" in a position which is totally crushing (the only thing to figure out is the most appropriate way to attack the opponent's king!) this shows that your positional understanding is still lacking a lot. The best way to improve at that stage is studying well annotated classical games.

The old saying is cliched but just shred through tactical puzzles.  Any study you can find try and solve it. I literally solved tactics on my way to breaking 2100 and I am back to solving studies and doing tactics everyday. 

Annotate all your games without using an engine.  Write down your ideas and variations and after that is all done than only use a computer to check your variations.  Here is a good article on it https://chessbase.in/news/art-of-analyzing-your-own-game/. 

Chessbase.com has free puzzles and often good endgame puzzles by Karsten Muller.  It took me awhile to break 2000 in tournament play but I practiced and kept studying. 

Learn all the basic rook endgames (Lucean, Philidor and Vancura.)  I would highly recommend Silman's Endgame Course as it tells you what to study based on your rating which is a really neat approach.
If you do want to look at openings stick to a system for now such as a Colle or London and play something solid as black such as a Queen's Gambit declined and e5 against e4. 
Try to go through heavily annotated games.  Someone above suggested Logical Chess Move by Move by Chernev and I completely agree.  Another good book is the most instructive games of chess ever played also by Chernev.   
Really don't get discouraged.  Hard work does pay off and it allowed me to break 2100 at one point.
Don't skimp out your chess and do not cheat when doing tactics and don't skim over books when reading them sit down and read any chess literature you can get your hands on.
I have a stack of about 50 old Canadian Chess Federation maganizes dating back all the way to the 70's with articles, analyzed games, endgames and tactical puzzles.  I try to go through one magazine every few days.  If you want to be better at chess don't sit here and complain on the forums, sit at your board without a computer and do the work.  My friend broke 2200 by going over every single win of Garry Kasparov and just saw a ton of patterns.  Pick a favorite player and go over every single one of their games, take your time and read all their annotations by them and other authors.  Annotate the games by them that are not annotated. 

Keep up  with tactics, you need to build that tactical foundation.  Lots of lower rated players say they do tactics but I recommend quality over quantatiy.  Get a puzzle and set it up on a chess board.  Try to work through the puzzle in your head and after about ten minutes if you can't solve it then only look at the answer.
There are so many approaches to studying chess but they all rely on having a strong tactical foundation, I've heard lots of 1000 to 1900 rated players say they study tactics but they can't improve.  I don't believe any of them, yes it is one thing to do a few puzzles a day but you need to go through tons of puzzles.  Seriously it is key to improvment.  I outplay lots of 2200s but when it times to out calculating them in the critical positions they see farther and more quickly and this is why they are a better players than me.  Don't complain about outplaying someone and losing, learn from why you lost. 

In your game against titomena your opponent attacked your queen twice with 24... Bh4, but it was only defended once. So if you do nothing he will win material, in this case a whole rook. You MUST meet that threat, eighter by removing the attacked piece, defending it one more time, exchange the attacked piece or exchange one of the attackers. But you could also play a counterattack, but your attack should be stronger than the opponents. Your played move 25. Nxa5 was none of them.

I see no way to attack, so my initial candidates are 25. Qxg3,  any queen move along the 2nd rank and Ra2, guarding the queen one more time. But 25. Ra2? Qxf2 26. Rxf2 Bxf2 27. Rxf2 loses the exchange, so better play one of the queen moves.

MikeZeggelaar is right about tactics. You need to memorize more motifs and also better calculation skills to become a better player.  Others here are right about thinking process.  Dan Heisman wrote lots of good stuff about thinking process, mistakes beginner and intermediate players do and how they can get better. 

You maybe need to start with longer time controls than 15+10 to establish a good thinking process.

I am a little late to the conversation.

Nobody is going to mention it since it was next to the horrible 17. c6, but why didn't you play the consistent 18. f4 when your assessment actually makes sense? You plan of trading pieces was garbage, you should have been trying to limit the scope of Black's minor pieces and squeeze him with your space advantage. Like you had been doing the whole game. This defeatism, or panic, or whatever it is might be worse then blundering.

Step back, rest, take a break from it for a week.  Keep sharpening your blade and it will blunt.

Excellent!!! Very good advice!

Really? Actually 17.c6 is a great move, IF followed by the positionally consistent 18.f4 and e4-e5, when the Bc8 and Ra8 are permanently out of play, and white wins very easily.

Better- why?

Sure, 17.cxb6/cxd6 cxb6 18.Qc7 Qe7 wins a pawn for less than nothing, so it is winning- but just take a look at the board after 17.c6 Bc8 18.f4 Qh5 19.e5.  Any idea how Bc8 and Ra8 can enter the game (other than putting the bishop en prise, that is)?

White can bring all his forces to the kingside, and gobble eveything there without paying much attention to move orders and accurate timing.

Hey guys thanks for all the comments/advice. Like I said before I had a tournament game last night, and it actually went okay I thought. I made a blunder but my opponent also did. They were "only" rated 1460 so it was a lot different game than the two I had against the 1900+ guys. Here's my analysis on it, I came into the game with a bigger focus on making a plan in the middle game and I think it helped my play.

The game was 90min. I was white, and it ended in a draw. 

over extend pawns too early in the game very week once they get behind your line
