Dear seifamer123,

I am a certified, full-time chess coach and International Master, so I have seen it and tried it all.
There are so many ways to get better and I know it can be overwhelming.
You can learn from free videos on youtube, there are books at your disposal that can all help, but they are not tailored to your needs.

One of the most important things you can do is to analyze your games! You must learn from your mistakes! That is a priority. You can't really move on to a new, different topic and learn new ideas if you still make the same mistakes over and over again!

This is where a chess coach comes into the picture. A good coach can show you how to study, what to study, gives you the material YOU need. Naturally, it takes time to use everything in practice, but if you are relentless and persistent you will succeed!happy.png
You should learn the main principles in every area of the game (opening, middlegame, endgame).  Don't focus on only one part! You should improve your tactical vision as well as it is part of all areas!  
This how I built my training program for my students. We discuss more than one topic during a lesson so it's always interesting and they can improve constantly. I give homework too and the right tools to make practicing enjoyable and effective!happy.png
Don't worry about your rating and the ups and downs! Just keep on playing and practicing!

I hope this helps.happy.png  I wish you good games and 100+ extra ratingshappy.png

The best way to improve at chess is to play games and analyse your lost games so as to learn from your mistakes. Study of annotated grandmaster games is very good too. Set up a game. What would you play in that position? What did the grandmaster play? Which is the better move? Why?

One good way to improve is to study the games of the masters whom you play the same openings as. The study of master games in general is of course a good thing to practice, but focusing in on the games of specific masters that play your openings will be the most helpful. This does not mean that you should limit your openings from the start, as a good understanding of all kinds of positions is important to all-round ability. But, in short, the study of masters games who play the same as you is super helpful. For instance, if you play 1.e4 as white, then Fischer's games will almost all be instructive to you in a way in which you can understand the positions which arise from 1.e4 better than you could have before.

Hope this helps, and good luck!
