Learn and apply the most important principles of chess.
Always blunder-check your moves.
Solve tactics in the right way.
Analyze your games.
Study games of strong players.
Learn how to be more psychologically resilient.
Work on your time management skills.
Get a coach if you can.
You won't find a real game or learn anything playing at <600 level on CC. Go out and find a club. You'll be FIDE 1400 and CC 350 in no time.
Put another way, many to most 300-600 here play 80-90% accuracy and know every opening and every opening trap line and don't need any think time at all to make moves. No one cares because "maybe they're just having a good day". If you're actually a legitimate beginner to intermediate player, you have no hope of getting an instructive game or progressing out of "elo hell". Might as well staple your tongue to the wall.

Nah they only play 80-90 percent accuracy against each other sometimes actually funny enough accuracy doesn't change that much when you get to higher levels (it's around 80 as a average ) in blitz

I am really trying to improve my chess, most posts I see people assume as soon as i know how the pieces move I am 500 plus and can get to 1000 learning openings and such... I cant even break 400, should i keep pushing or do i lack the talent?
almost all 300 I find here have more than 1000 games played and were former 600/800+
I just reached 300 elo and from some experience its really just puzzles and learning patterns. I improved by watching GothamChess and Hikaru, others I look at (tho not rlly considered insanely good) are channels like chesspage1 cause it taught me simple openings. Hope this helps

just do puzzles and get a chess book play 1 rapid game daily no blitz you'll maybe go up after a couple months to a less hopeless rating

1 rapid game a day might get you to like 800 or if your lucky 1600 but you really need more games then that it's just not consistent enough an hour a day or two (five games ) should be enough without the person getting burnt out you need more intuition and 365 games just doesn't give that intuition
Honestly blitz isn't that bad but the issue is you have to be careful if your a beginner if your not improving or our permatilting switch to rapid and also not resigning and trying to win you games can help a big factor in perma tilt is just not trying to win your games ..(ex down a queen resign instantly ) even though your opponent will most likely blunder back at 500 elon
