Hi I am around 1400 rapid on chess.com and I have a USCF regular rating of around 1060. I really want to increase my rating and I want to know some tips to help increase my rating at my level. Also, any courses or books that would be recommended?

Isn't the woodpecker method more helpful at the more advanced level?

Check out the Chess Dojo! There is lesson plans, openings, puzzles, and book recommendations coordinated based on rating. Great community and ability to climb to the next rating.
