Look at what's making you lose your games and work hard to improve that area. This always means training tactics properly, as everyone can improve their tactics, and practicing your endings with the strongest engine you can find.

How long will it take to go from 1900 to 2000?

And what's the fastest way to reach 2000 from 1900?

I personally learned the reason why i played my openings and common middlegames plan, i limited my games so after I lose 2 games in a chess session, i stopped playing and took a 1-day break (this is to make sure everytime i play it is at my best)

I've been stuck at 1700 for a quite a while. I am usually winning in the opening/middlegame but I have a hard time finding the winning ideas. I play puzzles quite frequently but I am unsure how to cross 1700. Any help?
