How do I get better at Chess?

[Black Light Red Panic]

Ever since being framed for a crime I didn't commit, I started playing chess.com mostly against bots and am roughly 1100 against bots and 850 against chess.com autists. How can I up my chess game? For reference I have an IQ of 136 (formally tested).

Add me if you want to play @ jayrocker2000

Get gud.

Do an online game, play a game with master ai, mimic the moves, ???, profit.

Play and study some openings/theory. Then try to apply it. Pretty much it.

You can and should study opening theory so that you know the lines, but once that's all done it's not making errors and seeing mistakes done. Only done by constantly playing/practicing solving puzzles.

Play League of Legends, you scrub.

Spend a night in Bangkok. Apparently that does wonders for your chess game.

You don't.

I am convinced those "people" who are good at chess are just natural born freaks. You are either good at chess, or you will never be good at chess.

I have good empirical evidence of this. You ever look at one of those chess clubs? Yeah, that's what I thought. Case closed.

Just learn meme meta strategies and employ them like every other unfun chess autist

Cheat.

Stop playing bots, they are too strong and aren't good at playing like humans at a human level. They will do shit like play 10 very strong moves in a row then make an obvious mistake like give a piece away on the next move for nothing. That won't make you get better.

Play humans around your own levels. Do puzzles. Learn the strategy behind a couple of openings you like.

I play checkers and still dont understand the rules, which has resulted in a lot of flipped tables.
