Hi all,

I have been trying for a couple of months now to reach 1300+ rating in blitz but can't seem to get there. Whilst my other ratings are improving a lot my blitz rating is stuck where it was a few months ago... If you guys have any good tips that could work please comment below, thanks grin.png

Edit: I hit 2300+ Blitz!!! Thanks for all your kind words and support, guys, 2400+ Blitz is next grin.pngblitz.pngplayhand.png

First things first, Observe and Eliminate the recurring mistakes.

the only thing I did was actually try, cuz beforehand I was playing random moves without calculating.

Sounds useful but your move accuracy decreases at the same time.

Do a lot of puzzles. At least 100 a day. That will help a lot and improve a lot too. Should avoid blundering. I usually do that to get in shape. (lol I don't play on this account anymore but on the other I'm trying to make 2300 rapid rating)

Cool! Thanks for the tips @Likeminded_2015 happy.png

First get good at slow time control games. Then get good at moving fast and using premoves.

Update: thanks guys for all your suggestions, just yesterday I hit 1250+ blitz. Can't be 100% sure but seems like all your suggestions are helping. Trying to reach 1300+ in blitz by the end of 2020. Thanks for all your suggestions grin.png

GM Mykhalo Oleksiyenko said that to improve you would have to do really difficult puzzles, but I think that advice was meant for 2000-2200 FIDE (Not Chess.com or Lichess rating) players. I guess get a coach (If you don't have one already) and try to do puzzles like @Likeminded_2015 said and read good chess books. I would say it might help a bit to spend more time focusing on chess and maybe spending less time running your club. I do think clubs are a great idea, but if you spend too much time on them you may start losing focus on actually playing and improving. Good luck breaking more blitz barriers!

Ok, I will focus on doing more harder puzzles! Also, I just started reading chess fundamentals by Jose Capablanca (a former world chess champion in the 1920s). Thanks for giving me good tips to break 1200 @A_Random_UTP_Person grin.png
