I am finally over 1600. For many wont seem a lot, but for me it is.

Congrats. For some reason i can beat 1600s easily in rapid time controls, but I can't even beat 1500s in bullet/blitz.
#2 thats because of the difference in the ratings. 1900s in classical are much worse than 1900 in blitz, at least that how it seems to me.
Classical ratings are over-rated is how it seems to most of lichess.
grats F-ZERO :)
Feedback on the game : b6 is strange : why do you play it, what's the plan ? It weakens squares and undefends pieces, which ain't too good in general. Develop your last bishop or queen instead.
11. h5 opens the door to Bxg6 fxg6 Qxg6+ Qh6+ Qg6+ 1/2. f5 is good, you can play 11. f5.
Well spotted the queen fork, that won you the game :)
What you did instead was good enough, but I think you can play more aggressively 26. a4, winning one more piece, because your king is not very much in danger. If gxf7 Kxf7 you'll easily escape the rooks with Ke8, and white is not threatening anything but gxf7 right then.

Congrats!
Having said that, to truly improve in chess, and also enjoy chess content more, you should train and study in balance, and also focus on the slower time controls. You are focusing on only bullet chess now, which is not the best thing to do, unless you just want some instant pleasure for 5 minutes per day or so. Focus on classical and correspondence chess. Correspondent chess might be the easiest as you can choose unlimited time usage, or e.g. 7 days per move. Good luck, and have fun :)

Yes I agree. I'm a fast player myself and I prefer bullet. But achja is right, you don't learn while playing bullet. I played 10,000 games a year on chess.com and my real chess results just plateaued for ages. Then I joined a chess club, studied, slowed down, soaked up positions and analysed my games and then got better. Which in turn improved my bullet game. So it's win win.
Try 3 - 5 minute games if you want action but still have a bit of time to judge positions and make better moves. And then take a few minutes after the games to have a look through the interesting ones.
