If only I could...

I'm curious what are you doing to improve? You didn't answer me? 

Well, If I am honest, I haven't done anything. I used to watch a lot of yt vids on how to play, tactics and all that when I was 500-800. But at this 1300 level, I don't find anything useful. Everyone just says grab center, good openings and bla-bla. I play London and pric all the time cuz at this level nobody knows theory and I'm just clueless after move 2 if I wanna play theoretical openings. Right now, My strategy is to just keep playing and hope to improve. Do u have any suggestions for me?

I sure do, and it's what I'm about to do right now, game analysis, you must be a decent player if you're 1300, way better then myself even.  Maybe we can play a game and look over our games together.  Game analysis is very important, it's basically trying to figure out where you went wrong (your mistakes) and where you could have done better.  

yeah that's nice. We can play a daily game together, I feel that is most convinent.

No No I absolutely hate bullet. I just recently started it again. I'm usually rapid and sometimes blitz.

I'll have a look at it at some point, thanks for sharing, I'm going over my game now, saw some huge tactic I had missed in the game (I don't feel bad since it was so deep lol, I'm like wait what? yeah but how you expect me to see that in the game lol) Did you go over the game? Your game I mean....

Sorry to hear this. I've had massive losing streaks before too. Variance is a very real thing, so you may lose 6 games even if you are playing okay; similarly, you may go on sessions where you don't play as well as you usually do. Both are normal. We are human players and not consistent bots.

Here is a blog post I wrote a while ago when I suffered a drop of about 100 points in rapid:

Lol yeah np..send me the game ur talking about to..id love to see the tactic...Yeah I did..tbh it's an underwhelming win. My opponent blundered his center pawn, I got my queen and bishhop into his back 3, and he just resigned although the evaluation was only 1.5 in favor of me

I'm not done analyzing the game but the "huge" tactic I told you about is there and I'll even take note of it in my annotations so you could see what I missed sad.png, mind you, this would have been a game changer, in other words 9 times out of 10 if I saw this tactic in the game, I would have won.
