All of you people around the ratings of 1400 and 1600 play well and decently. I’m very interested in making a change in my bullet rating since it’s so low. Other than that, I like playing Bullet and Rapid matches when I feel like it. So I need some pointers on how to keep making progress within the chess community. For me, I know endgames and puzzles are the only simple way to practice along with studying your attacks when you are playing an opponent. My friend, @SilverBlade77 coached me for about a week and it helped a bit, but I still don’t understand how to increase my rating…. Being a low rated player is tough because when you play somebody with a much higher rating, you obviously don’t know what to do. I hope some people comment ways I can improve when playing Live Chess.
Your ratings are about as low as they can possibly go. All your live chess ratings are below 200.
I am having a hard time taking your request seriously.

I don't need you to believe me lol
Right. I can just look at your game archive and see the pages and pages of your short under ten move losses while you were driving your rating down.

What is Erik gonna say about this? Stop shaming people because they take a long time to learn.
I think what @justbefair is trying to say, is that rating increases don't come in leaps and bounds. To get 1400, first you need 1300, and before that, 1200, and so on and so on. You mention that, when playing higher rated players, you don't know what to do. Let's start here then. "A bad plan is better than no plan." I forget where I read this, but let's think on it. If you absolutely have no idea what to do, it suggests that you haven't been exposed to the kind of positions you're seeing. Tactics training is important, but I read somewhere rather they flow from a superior position, so getting the positions you want must then also be important. So, expose yourself to positions, but also expose yourself to chess logic. I'll probably end up staying at my rating simply because I don't ask myself enough how plans are actually made. If you want to get better, don't just ask what the plan is, or whether it works in a different position. These are good questions, but also ask how the plan was conceived in the first place. Make yourself a detective, not for a move, but for an idea. Now, what about bad plans? What do these mean? It means you are trying. I'm trying to get into computer programming, and let me tell you something. I almost never get it right the first try. But here's the thing, if you ask not just what went wrong, but also fundamentally why it couldn't work, it will stick with you. And when you try again, you're going to be able to do the same thing differently enough that it will actually work, and you'll feel great about the result.
I made this post by mixing things I've read with things I haven't actually tried, so if someone who is higher rated might chime in that'd be totally great.

Ok now that you have explained it, it does make more sense I just feel like I'm completely out of options with gaining rating. @Spot_Playing_Chess Thanks for helping me out I did actually read an article on what you said and I remember all of those words stuck together in my brain. Also I agree on the Tactics Training, makes me remind of a blog post one of my friends created. Results aren't the key, practicing and working hard is.

True, true, true, and true.
My rating is low although most the time I win. The app gives me few points when I win, between 2 and 5 points for each game I win,!!! The reason for that I use tricks, traps and sacrifice with some pieces to win the game, unfortunately, the app considers these tricks and traps mistakes, so it gives me few points!! That is not fair, the app should give high points when I win. Hopefully, chess.com people would correct this.

If you played people of similar ELO to you, you would earn a lot more

That’s not how ratings work…
hi
So I looked at some of your games and the two main problems that I see is spending 1-2 seconds on a blunder and playing ridiculous openings where you are way worse by move 5. Openings: control the center, develop your pieces to safe squares, and castle your king. If you want to learn an opening, i would suggest the London or the Italian for white and e4 e5/d4 d5 for black. Blunders: when you're playing rapid, you need to spend more than a few seconds on moves. Making sure you don't blunder anything is more important than having tons of time left at the end. Make sure nothing's guarding a piece you decide to take. Maybe learn piece values if you don't already know what they are. I see a lot of piece for pawn trades in your games. Fyi, I am a 600ish blitz player who has used these fundamentals to get from 320 to 500 very quickly. I would also suggest ChessBrah's fundamentals series, which helped me massively with seeing many, many games.
All of you people around the ratings of 1400 and 1600 play well and decently. I’m very interested in making a change in my bullet rating since it’s so low.
