@billy_ombima Well you certainly play enough as the forum gets so many I haven't improved my rating but they have played only 156 games or so ever or even 300 . Certainly after going through many of your games I have advice . Firstly I have seen in games where you clearly have plenty of time moves by the person you are playing with that hang material for nothing & you Instantly play a different move other than just takes ... You seem to have no reason to be held back as you like chess but do you love chess enough to Study it 7 look at each of your oppenents' moves as maybe the losing mistake . I will recommend two books Zurich 1953 by Bronstein & Positional Decision Making In Chess by Boris Gelfand as these Books Talk To YOU Ok ? Check out stuff by Sam Shankland as well as he will make you think alot videos

you can do all these stuff but even practice opening and endgames it will help you a lot. if you want to improve chess.com is right for you as it has lessons and you can choose your set of puzzles more easily then lichess but if you want to play chess then lichess is better

Cut 1 and 2 way down, only do one from 3,4, and 5, and only do one from 6 and 7. I felt like I got a lot out of Youtube videos, but specifically the ones where they're analyzing grandmaster games. Videos where they're just playing aren't going to help you improve.
oberschlumpf's got it, though, your rating isn't improving because you're resigning way too quickly. If you want to improve, tell yourself you can't resign under any circumstances, and play the game to the end.
