Sooo I’m at like 600 elo on rapid and I used to be at a steady 800 but I need some tips. Anyone got any? I really wanna hit 100 within the next 6 months but I need help.

For every time you misspell something, make one less blunder. You'd be a GM in a few days.

Nothing. Oof, that advice won't help you if you're trying to improve. Just everywhere else.

Ok here is my advice:

Use a mouse. Though this may sound insignificant it makes all the difference because you can draw arrows. Those arrows help you see your opponents tactics as well as yours. It is a lifesaver!

Talk to the air. Narrate your plan as if you were a streamer. That will help you catch mistakes.

Frequently learn and practice tactics in puzzles or lessons. Then take those tactics and play them. If they aren't engraved, take a break and play some bullet. That will help cement them tactics in your head.

I use an iPad. I don’t own a computer and I accidentally broke my sister 😳

Maybe a tip: In order to get better, don’t play chess solely to improve, play for fun too. It might seem weird, but trying to get better can be frustrating. It may take a bit, but you’ll have more fun and accidentally get better anyways.

The best way to improve in rapid or blitz is to become a better chessplayer in general. Instead of playing against other players at your level, spend a few weeks with basic instruction books that cover general opening principles and middlegame planning. After a few weeks of effective instruction, your skill level should go up by several hundred points.

I like bullet the most but I find myself using the clock as a weapon so I decided to do rapid to learn tactics.
