Know your Openings...basic endgames, and as you have heard many times: TACTICS. Once you get to 2000, get into other things to improve your play.

I have so much mental energy , even if I'm physically and mentally exhausted I still consciously generate a multitude of ideas.
I read a lot. Like if I find a particular genre I find a liking to I'll read a compilation of books specifically catered to that genre.
My daily mental life is also filled with mediating different scenarios I might encounter through life, it's an arduous habit that came about from a time where I felt "insufficient", but that just basically made me walk down this hard path of learning wisdom beyond my years, hence the gray hairs that started to sprout well into my senior high school years, it just isn't worth it to think about the future.
3 moves in, 8 moves in , some deep calculations and only 1 move to win , that logic of wasting energy like that should be more feared than worrying about making the wrong/perfect move.
So how does one adapt where you can't see a way forward? How can one have this "blind" trust in your position? The answer's in the question- POSITION.
I watched tonight's arena king's on the chess.com's twitch channel where Alexandra Kosteniuk was commentating on the games , in one particular game between a 1700 and a GM (I believe) there was a trade happening and she said something along the lines of when a GM makes exchanges vs when a weaker player makes exchanges THAT the GM will always seemingly get the better end of those exchanges , why is that?
To add onto the above paragraph I recently re-watched John Bartholomew's 1800-2000 ladder YT video and in the beginning he says something along the lines of "...in the 1800 to 2000 range, this is where the player accumulates and demonstrates positional knowledge..." (something like that,my memory all foggy, but the series is a great watch).
In more ways than one that 1% of chess that's left over from the 99% of tactics is something called NEXT LEVEL chess. Positional Chess. The point being to provide for your position ,working with it and allowing the pieces and the knowledge you have of squares ,of trades of the basic aspects of chess to carry you, how do you know if something's good for you or not, you experience it, there's no magic method just long hours of work , working on yourself and your game ,make sure that the time you put in shows it's worth.
But what comes after? What comes when you throw all your chess knowledge, everything you know and you discard what you have made second nature out the window and just play chess?
Personality?
Expression?
Focus?
Dynamism?
Calm?
Basics?
As far as I know ,everything is limited yet subject to change. A few hundred years of history and novelties are still being made.
Just some (hopefully) thought provoking paragraphs and ideas to mentally munch on.
