600 is a sign of frequent blunders.
Blunder check before you move.
Analysing a game is not pushing the analyse button. It is identify your mistakes, look in depth at your decisive mistake. Analysis should take about as long as the game itself.

ive heard blunder check a 1000 times. like i don't already do that. And Honestly analyzing a game in a low accuracy game past the middle game if you even make it there is worthless.. I'm tired. im going to bed. ill prob quit chess for good eventually. ive put over 1000 hours into this stupid game that ppl like to pretend is not based on intelligence.
And then have ppl like levy say someone is very intelligent in a video. I feel like high rated players just like to gas light.

Whenever you hear someone give advice on a forum, check their profile. If they're lower than 2000 they don't know what they're talking about and you shouldn't listen to them.

It's harsh but true.

Check their age, too. Children, even those with strong playing skills, know next to nothing about the learning process.

Heyyy we didn't just magically improve you know

I know.

I’ve worked with gifted and talented youth for more than 30 years. They learn well, but very few know much about the learning process.

True that's why most children start tanking or get into barers (normal for anything you learn just don't get stuck)

The hardest part is learning from our wins

In order to improve you have to learn from wins+losses try to understand what you do well understanding what you don't do well is the easy part !you have to learn from everything not just from mistakes but the good things to

About half of OP's losses are under 15 moves. Almost all of OPs losses are under 25 moves. It's sandbagging or a serious lack of concentration / tilt... probably a mix of both.

Nothing to do with chess skill. A few of the wins I saw were way above the rating so...

Yeah, teaching is itself a skill.

Just wanted to say, even adults who are high rated, and might know some things about teaching... if it's been a long time since you've worked with a beginner it can be tough to understand what's useful for them / what they struggle with / etc. So like any skill it can become rusty due to disuse.

Reevaluate the reason why you are playing chess. I use to feel the same but after looking at the bigger picture, winning or losing isn’t going to change my life situation or has any benefit to me because I’m not playing to be a GM or studying to be good as one. I think my turning point was about 4-5 tilting spurs ago, and researching what I need to do to be a better chess player… I saw that it wasn’t for me, just a waste of time.
