Why is it that the more I play, the less elo i'm getting?

Any account will be like this. For example, all my accounts will be stuck on a certain elo forever, as it will take a long time to push up. Also, how can I fix this? I will ask the community, and if I still have no clue i'll ask support

There is no other way to win more games than to lose. However, I can help you improve your SKILL. PM me for more info.

Opening a new account won't change anything in the long run unless you do something to increase your skill.

Typically, skill is achieved through studying. Books and videos can help. Learning to accurately analyze your own games is the biggest help.

You opened your new account at 1200 and your ratings have all been rapidly declining. In less than a week, your rapid and bullet ratings are back below 600 and your blitz rating is at 700.

Your ratings will probably soon return to 400 unless you do something to improve your skill.

Chess is best

I'm actually seeking improvement, but although i'm 700 elo right now, the engine will give me 1200 elo most of the time I check a review. I feel no need to check the reviews I lost because I only get 1 a day. Should I start checking the ones I lost, too?

I feel I probably will not fall back to 400, as I have just been boucing back between 700 and 720

Rating is an accurate measure of your skills. So if you find that you are playing a lot of games and losing a lot, it means your rating is higher than it should be and it is getting more accurate as you play more games.

No make sure to only review the games you win so you know how to win more

Review the ones you lost, so that you don't make the same mistakes twice

Although i share all my tricks and tips in my blogs . Thats a demerit for me as my opponents can use against me , but its ok i keep on making new tactics and that gives me upper hand .

I find that the more I play in a day the worse I get. Have a look at my Bullet grade. The troughs tend to be when I've played too much in a day. I am told by wiser heads than my own that it's known in sport psychology as "over-training".

My advice (which, I must be honest, I am very bad at keeping to myself) is to split your chess time one third playing, one third studying openings (let's face it, openings are an obsession with most chess players so let's limit them to something achievable), one third studying middlegame strategy (Keres and Kotov's "The Art of the Middlegame" is a starter) and the endgame (Keres's and Silman's books are classics in the field) and/or GM games.

I feel I do well with openings, sometimes playing french defense or Scandinavian, I'm trying to learn mid- game tactics.

@NoobyzXD the middlegame needs study just like the opening does. I am old and don't know what the best modern books are, but when I was learning at the tail end of last century one read the Keres and Kotov book previously mentioned plus two Euwe books ("Strategy and Tactics" and "Judgement and Planning") then - and this inspired me more than the rest - Simon Webb's "Chess for Tigers" and went from there. If you are struggling with missing two- or three- move tactics, Chernev and Reinfeld's "Winning Chess" remains a useful classic (if; that is; you set each position up on a board - the benefit is largely lost if one does not).

Alright, Thank you. I will look into that
