I am so terrible. it makes me feel stupid.

Because u are

I always get confused while Playing after learning...i don't know why😭

I think this is normal. You know some things already. Now your new knowledge isn't integrated into your thinking. It kind of gets in the way. You need some time to process it.

it looks like you have been playing some rapids recently but i assume you playing tons of blitz and less rapid has had something to do with it?

I cant get my elo above 500, so I just play for fun. If I keep playing, it will slowly rise

It takes time for everybody. If everybody were geniuses, then why would we be studying chess? Some people are meant to be good at other areas like sports, while others may be good at stuff like chess or studying. Everybody is special and unique in their own ways. Cheer up bro.

The People on Your Rating Actually Weak At Reading Possible Tactical Set up,So If You Want To improve Its Better To learn how to Set Up Tactic With Your Pieces.

The Problem With many People is They Do puzzle But Never Learn How To Set Up Their Pieces To Get Tactical Possibility.

I'm not saying you aren't putting in effort, but maybe you're putting effort into the wrong skills. At your level you should just focus on tactics. Spend your free time doing puzzles and watching chess content on YouTube. One night when I was 700, I was unable to sleep so I got on my phone and discovered Lichess puzzles. The next day my puzzle rating was 1200 and I was addicted. Now my rating is 1500 and my puzzle rating on Lichess is 2100. Anyway, that's what worked for me. Hopefully it does for you too

I empathize with how you feel and also feel the same. Go easy on yourself, you're probably doing much better than you realize. I like to constrict my opponents movement. So rather than thinking offensively, I've began to play more positionally and defensively. This has helped me a lot evolve beyond the common entry level aggressive/offensive styles that many fall into. So like, moving my pieces in a way that increasingly limit my opponents potential range of movement. In this way, I actually encourage or like closed positions and complex challenges higher rated players present, because it makes me a better problem solver and more resourceful defensive player. So during your opening, if you don't follow theory, try to arrange your pieces in a way that either force backward movement or momentum, and play to your own benefit. Like simple pawn moves, and advances that will prevent their major pieces from establishing a better position for themself. idk, thats prolly not helpful at all but hope you keep at it! don't give up you got this!

4)

If you are serious about chess, I highly recommend you hiring a chess coach to help you.  

5. Here are some other general tips to help you: Before each move, I highly encourage you ask questions before every move such as, “If I move here, is it safe?”, “Can I safely capture a piece?”, and more. Also consider all checks and captures on your side and also your opponent’s side. Be VERY CONSISTENT with this.  

I hope that this helps!  

To most of my students, I give this advice (and it's all they need):

The biggest reason people struggle in lower-level chess is because of blunders. They make them in almost every game.

A mistake can instantly put you in a bad position, no matter how well you played earlier: if you had great opening knowledge, great positional skills, great endgame skills, whatever; a single mistake can change everything (you lose a piece or get checkmated).

So, how do you avoid blunders? Follow these two simple steps:

1. After your opponent moves, think if it's dangerous. Ask yourself, “What’s his idea?”
2. Before you make your move, think if it's safe. Ask yourself, “What attacking replies can he play?”

If you feel like getting to levels like 1600, 1800, or 2000 in chess is super hard, let's look at it in a different way. Those players you're facing make blunders in nearly every game they play. Beating them isn't so tough if you stop making big mistakes and start using their slip-ups to your advantage.

Again, it does not require you to become a chess nerd or spend all your time on chess. Just doing this one thing can boost your rating by a few hundred points right away.

I bet You need a new viste substitute play Go Badduk an do some Go puzzles this might help you overcome your mental block. Another similar TB game may work just aswell.

Same here, Before I was 1200. I quitted chess for a year and came back, Can't even drew against 600. I feel like I need to question my sanity, My intelligence, My life. Like how do I survive until here.

Dear KingGoKnightKnight,

I am a certified, full-time chess coach, so I hope I can help you. Everybody is different, so that's why there isn't only one general way to learn. First of all, you have to discover your biggest weaknesses in the game and start working on them. The most effective way for that is analyzing your own games. Of course, if you are a beginner, you can't do it efficiently because you don't know too much about the game yet. There is a built-in engine on chess.com which can show you if a move is good or bad but the only problem is that it can't explain to you the plans, ideas behind the moves, so you won't know why it is so good or bad.

You can learn from books or Youtube channels as well, and maybe you can find a lot of useful information there but these sources are mostly general things and not personalized at all. That's why you need a good coach sooner or later if you really want to be better at chess. A good coach can help you with identifying your biggest weaknesses and explain everything, so you can leave your mistakes behind you. Of course, you won't apply everything immediately, this is a learning process (like learning languages), but if you are persistent and enthusiastic, you will achieve your goals.

In my opinion, chess has 4 main territories (openings, strategies, tactics/combinations and endgames). If you want to improve efficiently, you should improve all of these skills almost at the same time. That's what my training program is based on. My students really like it because the lessons are not boring (because we talk about more than one areas within one lesson) and they feel the improvement on the longer run. Of course, there are always ups and downs but this is completely normal in everyone's career.

I hope this is helpful for you. Good luck with your games!
