Checkmate problems

I started chess like 1,5-2 months ago, i just cant calculate checkmates sometimes i even miss mate in 1 what should i do?
I have been trying to solve tactical puzzles that has helped me to improve situation like that. Those puzzles are taken from in game examples
Play with long time controls, 10+0 is not enough to be able to calculate properly, especially if you are a beginner. Also, training tactics and learning mating patterns may help.
yeah i think solving puzzles will help you with that. Even if you fail at first keep trying until you solve it.
this only means that u suck.
jk everyone misses mates in ones sometimes, u get better at chess if u r meant to be better, dont overwork yourself with minor issues. just play and enjoy your time
i dont miss mate in 1 but sometimes it happens i just feel bad about it
try correspondence games (like 3 days a move) - great for learning
Indeed

Blitz and Bullet's games don't help to improve.

To improve in chess you need think, and to think you need much time.
