HOW DO YOU GET MORE PUZZLES CORRECt

try memorising a few games this way your ability to see into a position improves simply because you are building a neural network of chess programming in your brain. it takes a long time. if you get frustrated remember that all the chess GMs who openings etc are named after were all defeated by chess and went insane. - Perhaps no sport is more dangerous in this way than chess, with so many great players losing their way––and often their minds––in their obsessive quest to win. Albert Einstein observed, “Chess holds its master in its own bonds, shackling the mind and brain so that the inner freedom of the very strongest must suffer." The roster of players who were finally beaten by the sport itself demonstrates just how dangerous a game chess can be. https://bleeckerstreetmedia.com/editorial/the-most-dangerous-game watch the movie chess fever - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3RXplN1CJnc

I am little confused because you have a respectable 1900 puzzles rating but your rapid rating is only 358.
May be you just need to play more games?
You have proven to demonstrate decent tactical knowledge at this point so now it’s a matter of putting the tactics to use.
I can relate because tactics is my weakness but started recognizing tactical shots as I play more and gain favourable positions.

I also don’t recommend stressing yourself. Only do tactics when you feel good, not when you are feeling stressed out.
I took a break so maybe that's a gud idea

There is a simple way. Every puzzle has 100% a positive outcome (like checkmate, winning material, etc) so in order to do it right just do these steps. Dont make a move until you are sure it is the correct one and you will find your move if you spend enough time on a puzzle. Game is won by checkmating your opponent so the first thing you should look at is are there any checks. After you see every possible check evaluate them. For example few first puzzles in a puzzle rush are usually mate in one and they are the easiest ones. Sometimes there will be a longer line of forcing moves like mate in two, three, four (rarely more than four) and you will be able to find them if you look for checks and asking yourself what now. Sometime check wont be a solution to a puzzle and there is something better in a position. The very next thing you should focus on after checks are captures. Look at the position and evaluate every capture. A lot of times you will win a piece by removing a defender or by deflection. If there is no good capture the last thing on the list is attack or a threat. This one is hard to explain and to find. But basicly you try to find the most forcing move and for example make a two threats a checkmate threat and capturing a piece for free. They wont be able to defend both of them and that would be a solution. Endgame puzzles are a little bit different and the solution is usually to push your most advanced pawn. Just count the moves for both you and your opponent to check if a pawn can be promoted succesfuly. Thats it, follow the steps and before you find your move just do the listed things in the order checks - captures - attacks. I hope I was helpful. If you still have troubles with puzzles feel free to send me a private message, I will try to explain it. Have a nice day !
