I can’t improve

I’ve been playing Chess for almost 4 years now, I’m still only rated 1100 here, I have a personal coach and I can’t improve What should I do?

stop playing bullet. do more puzzles. good luck.

I would say lot of puzzles, learn about endgames and openings, play some classical or rapide games (and stop bullet yes)

You should start at unlimited (if that bad), move on to classical when you get good at unlimited. when you get good at classical, move on to 20+0. If you get good at that, rapid 15+0, then regular rapid, then blitz, THEN bullet. if you get so good at bullet, go for ultrabullet. Also, solve puzzle storm. this will make sure you are agile while playing the correct moves aka no blunders, mistakes, or inaccuracies. this should help you.

This is something a lot of players struggle with! However, there are a couple of things you can do to see improvement very quickly.

1) Dedicate a certain amount of time a week to chess. If you're rated 1100 online, start with studying 1-2 hours a week.

2) During this time, don't play blitz or bullet games. Instead, do tactics. At your level, tactics are probably the quickest way to improve. You can ask your coach for some puzzle books or play puzzles on Lichess. If you find your puzzle rating isn't improving, take a little more time on each puzzle. Really solve it out in your head, don't just guess random moves.

3) In addition to your 1-2 hours of tactics, play 1 online blitz tournament (or 10 games, up to you) each week. These games should all have the same time control. For example, if your first game is 3 minutes with a 2-second increment, keep that time control for all your games.

Repeat this process for at least 3 weeks, and your chess will improve greatly.

There are plenty of IMs & GMs on Youtube who make educational content. Two that I can personally recommend:

IM John Bartholomew: www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLl9uuRYQ-6MCBnhtCk_bTZsD8GxeWP6BV

GM Daniel Naroditsky: www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLT1F2nOxLHOfQ-eoJTpyvKkQFwYewDduj

Both are excellent teachers when it comes to explaining complex concepts, also just very nice people in general.

Of course there are other big names as well - Ben Finegold, Anna Rudolf, Eric Rosen, Botez sisters, ChessBrah, Alireza Firouzja, and even Magnus Carlsen himself, but I think they lean more toward the entertainment category than educational. Feel free to check them out too.

Some might notice that I left out one big name and that is intentional. Well, he doesn't care chat; he literally doesn't care. He literally doesn't care.

close this account and open and a new account, and hopefully get a better rating. This will give you a boost in motivation.
And 'DONT PLAY BULLET'

Experience, they say is the best teacher. Firstly, Solving online puzzles is one very sure way to improve, at least 50 puzzles a day . I speak from experience. My rating grew from 1300+ to 1700+ in under 6 months from solving puzzles. Secondly, try watching stronger players play games with time controls of 3+0 or longer on Lichess TV or friends you follow; try to understand why they make the moves they make and also analyze their games with the Engine to get to know why certain moves are made. I wouldn't advice you to start reading chess books, or learning some new openings, gambits and cramming lines right now; I believe what you need is a solid chess foundational background knowledge in the aspect of POSITIONAL CHESS( Tactics , Strategy etc) being able to look at a chess position and know what to play. but most importantly, begin with solving Puzzles. I hope this helps you to improve your chess. Good luck

@HYPER_SLAYER creating new accounts is pretty much against the TOS of lichess...

I think you have to figure out how you can improve on your own, It is a very personal journey; sure we can point out mistakes in your game but really it comes down to how you process information and how you retain the information you learned and use it in a game, play longer time controls and don't just blitz out openings without thinking ; take the time and ask yourself what do i want to accomplish, what is my opponent trying to accomplish, practice middle game and endgame puzzles a lot, flirt with different opening ideas, gambits.. do not worry if the opening your using has a bad rep because it really doesn't matter .. pressure and time are your greatest enemies but also your greatest weapon , learn how to harness them and hold positions that are scary , learning to defend an attack and then counterattack if/when possible... improvement comes in tiny pieces and you may even go down a lot while your actually improving so do not worry about the number next to your name just focus on getting your games consistent with your play style
