In every game type, I have been improving except for daily. Any tips on how to improve my daily chess?

I already practice tactics, but lol i do not take too much time to evaluate my positions. How long should i spend on each game approximately?

Ok thanks, i will try to think more in tactics. Could you analyse the last game i played. I feel like i made so many mistakes, but somehow i won. It was a rapid game, and i played it earlier today. Its the last game i played. I use the app, so i cant post the game, and anyways, i would be embarrassed to post it
You're not really playing daily chess, you're playing bullet chess with a pause button.
The whole point of daily chess is that you can spend more time looking for moves without the pressure of time, resulting in higher quality games.
You are playing a staggering 107(!) daily games at the same time. That's about 100 too many if you wanted to spend an appropriate amount of time on each move. Even if you spend only 1 minute (with is nothing in daily) on each board it would still almost take you two hours to get through all of them.

In daily chess, my biggest hurdle is getting past the 1800's is in planning. I've been reading Silman's How to Reassess Your Chess, 4th Ed, and Seirawan's Winning Chess Strategies to improve. I've also reached points in games where I can smell the blood, but can't find the winning combination I think is there and which Stockfish sometimes finds is there. So tactics and combination work is also important.
It's also important to come out of the opening with a playable position that works for you. Since you're allowed to check opening books and chess.com's Opening Explorer (though I personally cut myself off by move 13) it's worthwhile spending a lot of time on the openings so you'll feel more comfortable with them afterward. I've been playing the Caro-Kann, but since I know the anti-Sicilians fairly well, I've been looking at some "normal" Sicilian variations where you don't get too bogged down in precise move orders. I've also looked at variations of the Vienna (Glek!) and Bishop's Openings as White. I may stay with the openings I currently play, but it doesn't hurt to explore others.

It was Erralott, sorry. I was just saying the rapid game because the position there became really complex

Bobby, I looked at your detailed analysis on my Rapid game and saw that you said my opening was weak. I am a bit confused, because this was played in the master's game posted below between 2 very high rated players. Why would they play a bad opening?
Your game deviated from the Kasparov game on move 2.. Just because the first move you made in the game was the same as a top player doesn't mean you followed it up with good moves.

Thanks Bobby. You have been a big help to me. So if i were to play the opening like So did, it wouldn't be a bad opening, right?

Im curious to know if Kasparov would have won all three because he is better, or if it was because of that opening. What do you think would have happened if Kasparov played So's opening?

Thanks very much. Also, go to the other topic where i asked if the opening was bad, because i posted that before you told me in the analysis you were not suggesting that it was a bad opening and i apologized there. Now, to lighten things up, suppose Kasparov played So's opening, but played just slightly better than So. He would win, right? Also, do you think at a 1450 level in blitz, i should be trying this, or should i just stick to e4 and e5?
