you should learn tactics ans lessons instead of just playing, especially weak players since it makes you worse...
Why I am I getting worse at chess?

Yes, but even as I learn the tactics as well as lessons, it always proves to have minimal effect on my gameplay.

You aren't looking at the whole board, but instead you seem to focus on just a few squares at a time.
Take your game against the Level-4 Komodo engine:
Playing too fast? You only took 2.2 seconds over that move.
First you get good... THEN you get fast.

However, I was playing carelessly, due to the fact that I simply wasn't bothered to win.

Not at all. I started to play chess "seriously" 5 years ago in age 28. And my rating here was about 1000 +-. Now im 33 and you can see the difference.
I recently saw a player in fide rating list rated 2658 in age 58. Can you imagine that this rating is his peak at the moment?

Well apparently there seems to be a major discrepancy between tactics ratings and blitz ratings. The Elometer test rated me as having an Elo rating of 1634, whereas for blitz, I merely have a rating of 700. Utterly depressing.

Wrong. Chess players only start declining at age 35.

have you tried increasing your IQ ?
You need to play 4 Player and get back your fun the game. You also need to reverse your view your losses and see what’s gained from them, alter your psyche your play, see the optimistic side always and rebuttal the negative thrown when it darts at you.
@krusks
That’s got to be the most @ crap looking bit of dung for a board yo.

As a matter of fact, I have not considered increasing my IQ, but according to the iqtest.dansk, I have an estimated IQ of 130 or so. Whether this IQ score actually reflects my chess gameplay is beyond me, and so therefore, I believe I may as well develop my tactical motif skills.

sounds good to me, how is your memory, because you have to be able to remember what you learn, the crap hits the fan otherwise.
