The way to increase your elo as a beginner is to 1. Always look for checks
2. What you can take and by which piece it is protected
3. what your opponent can take or attack
4. Look for possible traps from you opponent
5. Always think before making the move

I see the OP played only five games of rapid chess before closing his account. I'll comment anyway! Is rapid chess the best way to learn and improve? You do get the experience of quickly playing many games, but with more time you can analyze and try to avoid blunders. For this reason, I like playing Daily Chess. Another good way to practice is the computer games where it shows an analysis bar so you know if a move improves or worsens your position. You can take back moves and try another line if needed. Another thing is you can select opponents close to your own rating. I set my range as within 100 points above or below my rating. You then should do well in, at least, some of your games. I noticed the OP started with a high rating that did not really reflect his level of skill since he suffered losses from much lower rated players. It seems Chess.com assigned a 1200 rating to me when I joined, and I succeeded in improving on that. Chess is a competitive game and like most combat situations you must be ready to learn from defeats and come back fighting!
u jsut gotta pracice
Rapid lol? The longest time control I'll play is blitz, and even then its usually always 3 mins, occasionally 5. I think I've only played like 10 rapid games in 6 years. I think 5-10 mins is good to start because its enough time to calculate but not to the point where you are burning yourself out for a half hour on 1 game.

That is fine for those of you who've been playing chess all your lives or at least long enough to have ridiculously memorised the best/top 24 lines of every single opening/trap in existence (that seems to be the case for at least the grand-masters anyway), but, I find that time-controls that are less than five minutes seem to be more about who can click faster and make the opponent's clock-timer run out, rather than being about any actual thinking strategy.
I've been playing in OTB tournaments since 1972, and when someone mentions "chess", I only think of slow chess, not Blitz or Bullet.
I just don't get spending hours on 1 game.
