i suck at chess
Sort:
I was really happy for reaching 900 elo, but soon i realized two things. The first one is that most of my victorys occur after a opp massive blunder or failed connection. The second one is that i noticed that im really very bad at both blunder checking and time control (wow pretty good combination ;-;).
I dont have much time to study or analyse games so i want to know other ways to improve (yes i already do puzzles). thx.

Here is an important principle:
Look for checks, series of threats, captures, series of captures, threats, sad tactics.
For you and your opponent

It’s the nature of the game because by default the game is a draw in order to win your opponent must make a mistake.

Because of your rating I know that your games are full of blunders for both sides. It’s not one monumental mistake that cause you to win. It was a series of blunders by your opponent usually that leads you to victory. Get the idea out of your head that your opponent must make a monumental mistake in order for you to win cause that false belief will impede on your improvement.
Dear Camufladuanoite,
I'm a certified, full-time chess coach, so I hope I can help you. Everybody is different, so that's why there isn't only one given way to learn and improve.
First of all, you have to discover your biggest weaknesses in the game and start working on them. The most effective way for that is analyzing your own games. There is a built-in engine on chess.com which can show you if a move is good or bad but the only problem is that it can't explain to you the plans, ideas behind the moves, so you won't know why it is so good or bad.
In my opinion, chess has 4 main territories (openings, strategies, tactics/combinations and endgames) and if you want to improve efficiently, you should improve all of these skills almost at the same time. That's what my training program is based on. My students really like it because the lessons are not boring (because we talk about more than one areas within one lesson) and they feel the improvement on the longer run. Of course, there are always ups and downs but this is completely normal in everyone's career.
If you would like to learn more about chess, you can take private lessons from me (you find the details on my profile) or you can visit my Patreon channel (www.patreon.com/Bgabor91), where you can learn about every kind of topics (openings, strategies, tactics, endgames, game analysis). I've started this channel 1 month ago, I've already uploaded 71 posts and I'm planning to upload at least 4 new videos per week, so you can get 4-8 hours of educational contents every month for only 20 USD/month. I think it's a pretty fair deal. 
I also upload daily puzzles in 4 levels every day which are available with a FREE subscription.
I hope this is helpful for you. Good luck with your games!
