Congratulations! You've progressed quite far in this time, and are already better than most people out there. And since there's always something new to learn, the fun never stops. Chess University content really helps, too!

I can't think that fast. Just reaching 1400 in _daily_ chess right now, and starting to play a little more rapid (G/30) for that massive adrenaline rush...

It may be interesting for others to hear about how you achieved it. Did you follow some special program or training? Some concrete steps or phase of the game you focused more on? How was your journey?
That is awesome. Congrats

I found that watching youtube videos of high rated players improved my game a lot. I would watch streams like the chessbrahs or videos by John B and I could remember the moves that they made in their games and was able to look for similar moves in my own. I learned opening theory that way, too. I do some tactics training but to be honest I'm not sure to what extent that helped me gain rating. For me, I hit my rating jumps in small bursts. I would stay at a certain rating for about a month and then suddenly explode up 150 points in one day, which was really cool. So I guess the best advice I could give is to watch high level gameplay and specifically find a channel that talks through the mindset they have when they themselves are playing. If you have not yet I definitely recommend ChessNetwork, Chessbrahs (specifically Aman or Eric Hansen), or John Bartholomew (sorry if I butchered his last name). I know my methods wont get me much farther than where I am now, so in the future I think that analysis of my games after I play them will greatly improve my play. I used to do it when I was around 1200, but for some reason I stopped. Anyway, I hoped this helped some people in some way.
Ive been playing chess online for about two years now, and I'm so happy to see my own improvement! I've been looking back at my old games when I was 700 rated and it's awesome that I am able to actually see my progression from then all the way up to where I am now. I know that I have a long ways to go, but from each milestone (1000, 1200, 1400, 1500) that I break through I feel so good
I cant wait to bust 1600!
