I am constantly getting blunders and mistakes while having a bad ratio score. What should I do?

So I have been playing this game for 3 weeks. I don’t have a great start because I keep getting blunders and mistakes. My ratio is also bad as I have more losses than win's and draws. Is it because I have a focus disability? Or I don’t know strategy’s?

Three weeks isn't very long. Have you taken any of the free lessons that are provided to beginners on how to open a chess game and the basics of the game?

Yes, but I can’t pay for it because I don’t have money.

Okay, if your playing Rapid, I suggest taking 15-20 seconds

If your playing Rapid, I suggest taking 15-20 seconds to scope out the map, and watch out for hanging pieces. (If you don't know what hanging is, search it up.) Learn up different openings, if you can play a good opening, you can play good middle & endgames.

If on blitz, take 7 seconds to look for attackers on the space you are about to move. Look out for any forks. Also, find any moves that will lead to winning material.

In bullet, take 3 seconds to think, and play the move. Chances are, the opponent will not think, and just move randomly. Take advantage of this, and win their pieces.

In daily, if you take a few hours off, when you come back, rewind to the start of the game & rewatch everything you played.

This guide should get you to 700. (or abovr)

You will not develop decent board vision for months.

Yes, but chess is a game of learning and practice

I've been playing this game for more than fifty years.

I still make blunders and mistakes.

Some games I play like a Master.

Other games I play like a chimpanzee.

ChessMasteryOfficial, I tried that. The only way that’s not really working is my focus. Literally. When I try this technique, my focus literally doesn’t even understand most of the opponent’s moves and think that I should block it. I feel like a master, until I review it. How do I improve my focus, the only infection in Chess that you really need sweat support.
