Learn to walk, before you can run. Play more rapid games before blitz. Analyze them deeply during the game and also afterward. Also, analyze daily games too, and try to go for the win instead of blitzing out moves.
Thanks!

Now that I reached a good bullet rating, I want to work on improving my rapid and blitz or in other words my actual chess skills. I played a couple games of blitz today, and I was missing a lot of key tactics, and stuff, so I would like to know what everyone else has done ot improve at their chess skills. I've done a lot of puzzles but still mess up in the actual game. Thanks, Xhive24
I actually struggled hard in rapid, played blitz for a few weeks rating went up. Then I went back to rapid and I went up there too. The thing is blitz is great for learning theory and positional gameplay which can be carried through to rapid

Got it, is there any certain way to improve blitz?
just play logistically and go aggressive since time can always kill your opponent as well as a mate

You should also learn some gambits too to throw off your opponents. (for example, englund gambit, danish gambit, etc.)

Dear Xhive24,
I am a certified, full-time chess coach and International Master, so I have seen it and tried it all.
There are so many ways to get better and I know it can be overwhelming.
You can learn from free videos on youtube, there are books at your disposal that can all help, but they are not tailored to your needs.
One of the most important things you can do is to analyze your games! You must learn from your mistakes! That is a priority. You can't really move on to a new, different topic and learn new ideas if you still make the same mistakes over and over again!
This is where a chess coach comes into the picture. A good coach can show you how to study, what to study, gives you the material YOU need. Naturally, it takes time to use everything in practice, but if you are relentless and persistent you will succeed!
You should learn the main principles in every area of the game (opening, middlegame, endgame). Don't focus on only one part! You should improve your tactical vision as well as it is part of all areas!
This how I built my training program for my students. We discuss more than one topic during a lesson so it's always interesting and they can improve constantly. I give homework too and the right tools to make practicing enjoyable and effective!
Don't worry about your rating and the ups and downs! Just keep on playing and practicing!
I hope this helps. I wish you good games and 100+ extra ratings
