Congrats on 200. If you really want to improve fast really dedicate to one or two openings that you think are fun and from there you can learn a lot of the basics to help you improve your game.

Thank you Ancient and I already have, for white I use the Ruy Lopez/Philidor or I go with a gambit if I feel risky... for black I now rarely play caro-kann anymore and just try to go for a scotch or 4 knights opening... I plan to focus more on tactics soon!

You turned a “ready to quit” moment into a milestone. That’s not luck — that’s resilience, discipline, and love for the game.

You are very much correct, after living and breathing chess for damn near 3 months, coming up on 4, I couldn't let a 20+ tilt streak take me down... thanks Mastery!!
So its party time:

Congrats! 200 is a very important milestone- once I was able to stabilize at 200 blitz myself I took off for 300 and never looked back! A bumpy road, but here I am over 1500 rapid rating.
Now you go chase your dreams! Spam those puzzles like your life depends on it! Pay attention in all of your games and never hang a piece again! I believe in you!

About 2 weeks ago.. I wanted to quit chess...now today if I am counting correctly. I ended off my playing streak with...
27 Wins
2 draws
15 losses
And finally hitting 200 ELO in blitz!
This is a monumental day for me and feel as if I unlocked the cure to cancer... I hope to achieve the same feat in Rapid and so on.. the stars are now starting to align when it comes to chess... (except when I am tilted lol)
Today, Chess spoke for itself...
If I was wrong about the game count please let me know and correct me and would love to hopefully see some studies and thoughts on all of this! I also learned Chess doesn't care about your feelings and never will.. so why pout???

Learn tactics and minimize blunders and you will easily get to 1000
