Because people suck, I can’t predict them at all, I know I’m not bad because I’ve gone up against 1100s before in my real life but it feels like 100-400s are soooo unpredictable it feels like I’m being held in 300 right now because I can’t get past these unpredictable ones and then I don’t understand some of these people don’t even make bad moves (I’m a blitz player cause I don’t have patience for shitee)

And as long as all you play is speed chess then expect to stay "stuck".

… sir respectfully you’re a daily player and a 960 player… I don’t think that there is any room for that kind of talk, And also I already said I don’t have patience enough for even Rapid but I’m not stupid enough to play bullet I play 5min to 3min blitz

Literally all of your losses are by dumb blunders by playing too fast. If people suck and you lose to them then what are you. Learn patience, thats why your losing

All I'm saying is that if you're going to play fast time control,s and not give yourself time to think, you aren't going to improve. Just have fun.

Take this game: https://www.chess.com/game/live/142531478356?username=kira_hates_chess

You played a G3, llost in 12 moves and still has 2:18 left on the clock. Its not a big mystery why youre losing and not improving.

Remember that chess is just a game, and a game that should be enjoyed. Just have fun with it. When and if the time comes that you decide to take it serious you can deal it it then.

Always glad to help!

I have played on and off for 50 years. I peaked briefly as a USCF A player. Stopped playing for almost 6 years, and came back to the game a few months ago. You know what I did for the first time ever? Hired a chess coach. I have a few goals, and my main goal is to make Expert. If I make it great. If I don't that's fine too. Set goals thats a healthy thing to do, but if you dont make them its not the end of the world. As long as you did your best thats all you can ask.
