Is level 900 chess good?

How can i be less bad at chess?
Play a bit slower, to avoid obvious mistakes like hanging pieces. Learn from your games and tactical mistakes. Practice tactics, not only to use them for yourself, but also to recognize and miss traps from your opponent. If that works you can always increase the speed later.
