how to get better?
Sort:
I have been playing chess for years now and I’m still stuck at 390. I keep trying to improve by learning tactics and doing puzzles, but it’s just not working for me and I’m still bad. I have done game review and some insights, so I guess that’s good, but if anyone could tell me what I’m doing wrong, that would be great.

Just watch videos and ask your friends for help if they are good. You can try learning from stockfish(a chess robot). If you do this you will get good. This is my alt account so I don’t have a good rating right now. I’m regularly 1200
Blunder check before you move.
Think about your move, decide.
Do not play your intended move, but imagine it played on the board.
Then check it does not lose any piece or pawn, or runs into checkmate.
Only then play it.
Thanks man
Read books
Practice.

Make sure you have a strong understanding of basic principles.
I low-key just started chess one day from watching a Gotham chess video and it just clicked for me and I never took much time to learn it,and I just learn the more games I play. I bought a few chess books because I got stuck at 750 Elo. Just watch videos read books and just keep playing games. If you shoot a basketball 500 times you will learn from your mistakes and you be making them all by basket 300. So my suggestion is to just keep playing an eventually you will just learn from your mistakes. (I'm watching bubble guppies while I'm writing this lol)
