For beginners, the number of games depends on their schedule and focus. Playing 2-3 games daily helps improve gradually. Alongside chess, exploring friv can be a fun way to relax and sharpen the mind.
How many games a day is neccessary for beginners?
For practice more games is always better. Do note though that chess fatigue will worsen your win/loss ratio, your first game of the day is always your best, but if you're trying to improve your skills and not your rating then go crazy. Just make you're taking as much of the clock as you can with each game. Don't be afraid to use a third or half your time in the opening, early middle game IMO, usually players at this level will allow tactics very early.
1.5 years stuck at the same rating. i want also an answer or hint.
Even on OTB, i'm bad as hell. A kid none-ranked yet just destroyed me in 10 min on 1 hour + 10s. i like also the things about "don't blunder, take your time, do this do that do this," and then chess is no more fun.

At your rating, I'd recommend looking at more candidate moves each turn. It's a pretty easy tip I don't see enough that is great in the 1100-1500 range. As a rule I look at 3 candidate moves minimum each turn no matter how 'forced' it seems, which catches a lot of the otherwise hard to find tactics. I also often end up with a list of 10-15 candidate moves in more tactical positions. I hope this advice is tangible and useful for you.
May I suggest you take some time to watch some Speed runs from some high level players like Naroditsky who explain the moves they are making and WHY they are making them.

I believe this will help improve your game. Puzzles also help, as you may actually recognize some of the situations in your games and remember them.

I will second this also. You should be planning ahead for what you are going to do, or try to do in the next few turns. If your opponent is thinking during his moves, use his time to think also. Don't just react. In fact reacting without thinking is how you blunder.
Maybe because i'm new at this but i find myself doing random moves(not all the time) , or sometimes a possible checkmate is in front of me but i don't see it right away.
As you saw in my last topic ( stuck at 300 elo for weeks now ) you guys helped me a lot and my elo was skyrocketing from 280 to 360-380 and i lost less games because of your help, now i want to know or hear from you guys how many games a day is best for beginners to improve quickly? If anybody can spend some time to share their ideas i would really appreciate it. Thank you guys! edit : today i have played 9 games total, is that good or bad or should i play more or less?
