Nobody can give you much advice just based on your elo. The only advice I can give you (and this is, again, from my PSA for intermediate players), is that you should not have the mindset of trying to gain 450 elo all at once. That math means you think you'll get so good that your future self will beat your current self 93% of the time. That is a very hard goal, especially when you're already 1500. You should just be thinking about improvement and putting in the work, not the final result, which could take very little time or infinite time to reach.

Of course, as I said in my PSA, the reason most intermediate players are their rating is they keep blundering away their pieces. That's still why I lose my own games. So unless you're really shite at the endgame or opening or something and it's really dragging you down, improving tactics and safety are your key. But do read my PSA if you want more details.

I would suggest @Sitbear to stop advertising. Every topic I am opening I can see you advertising over there. its good ur giving advice to others to join your PSA course but there should be a limit right...

I'm not advertising. It's literally just a forum post. I'm not selling a product or taking you off site. I just think what I wrote is relevant and worth reading for people.

You are doing a good job...my suggestion to you is that you make an another topic about your courses and post all advices you want to give to others, just dont keep posting the same advices in every topic okay cuz its just annoying to see that same post everywhere

I don't have any courses and I don't want to clog up the forum with new posts when my old one is already good. If you don't want to keep seeing the same advice, take it up with all the woodpushers asking the same questions. I say plenty of unique things in my responses to unique questions. It's not like I link my PSA in every comment... Only when it's appropriate.
