Games and rating

Hey! I just recently started playing chess, and I am wondering whether I am doing good progress.

First chess game on lichess: March 6. Probably my 5th chess game in my life.

Chess games on lichess now: 698

Current rating: 1424

I am almost only playing 10+0.

Please list your stats, and I would love some feedback whether I am doing great progress or not, and what should I focus on to break 1500?

You started at rating of <900 and you're up to 1400 in two months. You're doing great!

Unless you plan on going professional then it really doesn't matter that much. It's a tool to help in matchmaking and getting you a fair fight. It doesn't matter if you get a lot of ranking or hardly move at all. The real questions to ask is "Are you having fun" and "Are you seeking improvement?". As long as those two remain true then you already making great progress.

@LaserGuy Godod to know :)

@CzarSquid I am still having a lot of fun, and I seek to improve myself almost everyday. I am not looking to be professional at all though. What would you suggest I start working on now ?

@Lord2920 I'm not sure if I'm the guy to ask because I'm not that competent at chess myself. The tips I'm personally following is doing something chess related each day. Even if that means just doing some puzzles. I personally like the chesstempo puzzles over lichess' puzzles.

I'm studying the end game more. That seems to be the biggest struggle for me because I rarely get to that point and it's surprisingly tough.
