I have been on a losing streak, what advice do you have for me for my games?
Sort:
Me too. Worst losing streak ever.
Try analyzing your games to see if there are any recurring mistakes that you've been making. For example, if you've been having a weakness to forks, you should try to find the patterns that lead to one and make sure to respond appropriately. And make sure not to get discouraged, as it is ultimately a game. It is a difficult one, but it is still just a game that should be used for recreation and not a source of frustration. (Hopefully someone better than me can give better advice, but I still think that mine can help)
And you can also study openings to make sure you're not immediately placing yourself in a disadvantage, and that you understand the general game plan to follow. The other game stages are also important (perhaps more so) but knowing openings can prevent you from falling into traps or unsavory positions.
Take a break; losing too many games tends to lead to tilting

Try longer time controls and use the time to think.
Think...checks, captures and threats. It's back to basics stuff, I know, but sometimes we need to establish (and re-establish) this basic mental discipline until it's automatic and unconscious.
If only I could follow my own advice!! Good luck though.

Blunder check before moving, I looked at your last game, and there was no need to lose a bishop. Also, if you are on a losing streak, take a break for a bit before playing again.

Also, for openings I would recommend the scotch game, as I have found it to be effective.
I noticed your most recent game you resigned when down a minor piece in the middle game. At ~300 Elo don’t resign, your opponent has an opportunity to stalemate, or even lose if they blunder, but besides that do some puzzles, lessons, and learn how to play the London better (watch a Gotham video or something)
Good Luck, if you stay dedicated anything is possible

Losing is part of the winning path; so, I recommend you to relax, take a deep breath and analyze what were you doing wrong (mindset, moves, time, etc).
They added Chess on Duolingo recently Lol. That has actually helped me some too 
Doing analysis on your games and other great games, especially from GMs can definitely help

I made a list of things to check before each move and this reduced blunders to a considerable extent. My losing strings lowered my rating until I was competitive and able to work back up again. I l leaned to defeat early game aggression. You can almost always foil an early queen attack which is the weapon of choice for a lot of beginning players.
1. Relax. There are always going to be winning streaks and losing streaks. Keep playing. 2. Play longer time controls so you have more time to not only find your own moves, but just as importantly, understand why your opponents are playing the moves that they are. Understanding your opponents moves drastically improves both offense and defense. 3. Blunder check, blunder check. Every move. Just limiting the blunders will dramatically improve your elo. 4. Don't worry about openings, they aren't relevant at your level. Work on all the basics. Blunders, simple tactics, building good positions, coordination, etc. You will get there.
help me please idk what to do
