From a brief look at some of your recent games, I see you play both at slow and fast time controls, which is OK. But even in the slow time controls, you seem to be blitzing through the moves.

In the slow time controls, I think you would benefit from following a simple thought process in which you do the following:

  1. Try to see what your opponent is trying to achieve with the move. Do they have any checks, potential captures and threats? (Threats are things like forks, skewers, double attacks, obvious mating threats.)
  2. Try to see whether you have any checks, captures and threats against your opponent. When you see a good move, do you check whether it is safe? Do you check whether you can still find a better move?

Possibly, you should take a break between a blitz or bullet game and a slow game, so the feeling that you must respond quickly diminishes a bit. Or if you plan a slow game after playing a fast one, first play a slow game against a bot just to settle into the slower tempo again?

Finally, do you analyse your games for the types of mistakes you make? If yes, do you also have a study plan that allows you to improve the weak points you find when analysing your games?

#2 I'm sorry but for the goal what #1 said the advice you said is completely useless, since for reaching higher leagues you only need to play a tons of games.

Fet,

Technically, you're right. I find it a bit unfortunate that the system can be gamed in this way instead of encouraging low-rated players to really improve their chess.

Play the shortest time controls of each type of time control (for bullet, 1 min not 30 sec, you need 1 min for league points) I played quite a bit of 10 min and 3 min which helped me get to legend
