Stuck at 600 elo, no way to improve, already played 345 games on this account.

I already know...

All the chess rules (Even en-pessant thing and castle),


Copycat opening and how to punish copycats (Never goes wrong if you copy the first few moves of white, just convert into Petrov defense if the White knight attacks your pawn)


Everytime I go to 650 elo (tryhard) I will go on a lose spree until I am about 590 elo (bongcloud or fools mate opening)

I know first few Stockfish moves against Wayward Queen attack because I have Lucas Chess

I know... (and watch Hikaru stream)....

How to checkmate enemy king with rook king only

Double pawns are bad

Pins

Forks

Yes, I occasionally make the Botez gambit frequently from carelessness, but I have sufficient knowledge like Hikaru, I just lack the memory and foresight to see 8 or 9 moves ahead of me like Stockfish.

you don't need to learn all the stockfish moves 9 moves deep. you just need to learn how to play chess. opening principles will get you out of 500-800 range, not theory.

OK I saw Hikaru play Bongcloud, so I decide to troll by putting King to YOLO fight, the opponent blundered the horse and surrendered.

On move 5, I am using a principle called Counting learned by Levy, since I have King and queen protecting the Pawn, the opponent cannot do anything.

The opponent next move is to check me with knight, so I retreated saying oh crap my king is in bad position, opponent proceeds to go aggressive with knight, not realizing it is hanging.

After I punish the opponents blunder, he got demoralized and surrendered.

"Double pawns are bad" ++ Not always.

"I occasionally make the Botez gambit" ++ Bad

"I just lack the memory and foresight to see 8 or 9 moves ahead of me like Stockfish."
++ There is no need, just checking 1 move ahead that your intended move does not hang any piece or pawn is enough to get you to 1500.

No it is not. Just check the game that I linked above. Your advice do not apply here.

Maybe you could stop watching streamers and start working on your chess?

The biggest reasons people get stuck below 1000:

- Keep hanging their own pieces

- Not noticing their opponent's hanging pieces

Focus on this before anything else. You can't run before you walk.

You can definitely improve for sure but to do so I would suggest several small changes to your play. First try to keep king and queen protected by not moving too early in the game and stop going for easy checkmate traps. To stop blunders play ten min chess or longer until better. Use Analysis on each game. Play against the robots and gradually improve. Select one main opening for White and through repetition improve. Select responses for black and try to stick with them until get better. Stay with main standard openings but not too many. Use the lessons to improve. Don’t forget you can’t often win if you don’t attack but don’t be impatient, build up your attack, chose centre or aim at their king. Good luck as if follow above you should go at least to 1100 pretty soon.

Just don't blunder any pieces

Nothing wrong with the troll moves, but

The guy is a sandbagger. He plays troll moves, and when they don't work (he starts winning somehow anyway), he just resigns in a winning position. Let's not pretend that he is some beginner who needs help.

I think this commercial is hilarious.

Looking at your games, I have to ask:

Are you a young kid or are you just trolling?

I am adult, this is my main account. When I first created the account, Chess.com ask you your skill level, I basically lied I am expert and I got beaten down from 1500 elo to about 600 elo.

 

After realizing that playing good openings have no difference than premove troll openings, I watched Hikaru Botez gambit and Bongcloud series, so now I do those and fools mate opening frequently, because the game above, once I premoved all the pawn moves, the Stockfish eval says I am +1.3ish, so there is no point for good openings.

Taking you at your word here:

You do not follow opening principles, do not manage your time well, do not pay attention to your opponent's moves, and miss tactics left and right.  Those are the big issues holding you back.  You are somewhat correct that you do not need to play high level openings and learn theory to improve, but you do need to learn and master the basics.  Going for scholar's mate and pushing all your pawns to the 3rd rank (both of which you did in a couple recent games) is just nonsense.

Oh, the bong cloud opening; they've been watching Hikaru alright.

The opening is seriously the only suspicious thing you notice about that game?
