Though initially, I haven't shown interest after loosing continuously with my cousin, I took it seriously. After playing I have improved it. What is the future scope of it? If we consider the games seriously or time being. This COVID has helped me a lot. How many games must be played to become good chess player, career opportunities in this?
My rank is 1100 after playing more than 700 games i have reached here. How to take it to next level.
GAMES ARE NOT IMPROVE YOU, TRAINING AND TRAINING IS GOOD FOR YOU...
Checkout some of the sites in my bio they may help.
I watch pawngrubber on youtube that was my biggest help.

@TomVas3 I agree, games are like a test, a way to prove that your training is working well
Every steps u make, u must think deeper@vision, whether one steps good for attack,defend,setting traps or long plans mate. U cant go there just doin instantly like playing bowling. Chess is about vision. For starter play long time control 30m>25m>20m>15m then after long while u can go back to 10 m. Sorry bad words I'm not use to lying. Keep on pal
Join a local chess club, solve puzzles, analyse games by ,,the old masters" (Lasker, Capablanca, Rubinstein, Alekhin, etc.) and study endgames.
Depends, how long have you been playing chess for? What kind of studying have you done and for how long?
Let us look at one recent game of yours
You play too fast. At the end of this 10+0 time control game you have 4 useless minites left on your clock, i.e. you played as if it were 6+0 time control. Slow down. Take time to think.
I recommend to switch on move confirmation in your profile. Think about your move, play it, check it is no blunder, confirm. This alone will take you to the next level.
You let your bishop get trapped, but your opponent does not see it.

Read some opening books, play less games per day but play slower, try to reduce your blunders. If you could reduce your average blunder per game from something like 4 to 1 blunder per game, you would easily improve from 1100 to 1600. My point is that many below 1500 players don't have a strong understanding of openings, so if you improve your opening skills, you could easily build up some good advantage at Move 10 or 15.
Although e4 is suggested for beginners, I think d4 might be actually better. 1.d4 allows you to play more safely, making less blunders per game. Some people may say closed pawn structures are difficult for beginners, well it is equally, perhaps more difficult for your opponent! Below 1800, chess is really a competition of making less obvious blunders and correctly exploiting your opponents blunders.

career? I don't know if that is realistic... I mean you wont like the game after another 5000 games probably, at least not enough to want to keep playing so much
