Perpetual... Mistakes

From my previous experience of playing chess I noticed that playing many games hardly improved my skill and understanding of the game. Instead, it helped to cement the wrong understanding of the game and I was bound to make Perpetual Mistakes. Just having the computer analyze the games and one can see a similar amount of mistakes in virtually every game. And of course I was not in that situation alone. Most of amateur chess players end up in that zone and their victories, draws, and losses are thus essentially a result of luck. And little wonder why most of us, caught up in that zone, find it impossible to improve the real quality of our games. This is why most amatueurs tend to get stuck where they are - the lack of fundamental understanding bites us in the rear. 

So what to do? Well, one can either quit playing chess altogether to save the time and direct his/her energies to another areas (this is what a lot of dissatisfied amatueurs end up doing in the end); another option is to keep playing chess but taking it less seriously but still enjoying the game (this is what happens to the majority of amateurs, as far as I've observed); and there's of course the hardest way of all - studying the game systematically and improving gradually (this is done by the slim majority of players who may end up becoming experts and masters).

P.S. I do not intend to offend anyone. Just sharing an opinion.

It would be a slim minority, wouldn't it?

Yes, LOL!
