Just please stop with the hate comments, or I might have to report some people
I suck, can you give me tips?
Sort:
I had days here where I lost 100s of points....And you obviously don't suck cause your nearly in the top 5 percentage of all chess players based on rank.

Tips:
Develop knights first.
If you're down on material, don't trade.
Don't trade active pieces for less active ones.
Manage your time.
Find out why you are losing.
EDIT: I just saw your rating. You're over 1600 in Rapid! You do not suck. You are among the top 10-15% in the world! Its just that the higher you get, the less your opponent blunders. Just keep pushing, and you'll reach 1700!
EDIT 2: If you feel like you've plateaued, I have a blog post on this.

But that's not the point.
PLEEEEEASE ... Dude, I'm new to chess but have been studying 4 hours a day now for almost three months and run 500-600 and dropped 150 pts in one day! You are one of my heroes! As for advice, save your sanity by not being so hard on yourself. This is what I must tell myself every single game when I lose (most of the time).
You ARE doing what you need to do - you are asking advice from those here who are where you want to be. You should be commended. Oh advice ... castle by move 10 if possible. And most of all - have fun!
Losing 31 rating points isn’t tilt.

Start a new account, select "advanced player" and don't ever play rated.
I play bots sometimes and accidently selected 'play computer' and got MAXIMUM (not sure who that is). I was in Analysis and every single move I lost but I slowed WAY DOWN and kept working through its suggestions. I SWEAR ... I learned more from those seven hours in one game than 500 Rapid games against same-rated.
Is this what you meant? I'm intrigued by your comment! Thank you!

I remember I used to be 1200? And then came back down to 800. But after some consideration I kept going and now I’m nearly 1500.
Checkmate with two checks! Nice.
You blundered. On move 20, you played ba5??, allowing your opponent to sac their bishop by playing 21.bxg7, simply winning a pawn. If you took the bishop there is qa1+, forking the king and bishop on a5.
But I don’t think I would have seen it either.
I just got an email talking about how I amazingly missed my opponent delivering M1, by spending 2 second to move😂😃.
