Any good tips in breaking the 1200 blitz rating barrier?

I broke the 1700+ Blitz barrier guys, now onto 1800+ Blitz (by breaking the 1700+ Blitz rating barrier )

lol

Finally after some time 1800+ Blitz!!! 

Now begins the long arduous journey into breaking the 1800 blitz barrier and into 1900+ Blitz!

The game that got me into 1800+ blitz was a pretty bad game by my opponent…

I am black btw

Hmm does the game display load for you because it doesn’t load for me…

The single-most-effective way to improve at your level is to stop blundering so much. What that means is stop hanging pieces, stop getting mated on the back rank and stop moving your a pawn when your queen is about to get taken. But how do you do that? 

Dan Heisman has a simple but compelling solution: appy the "sanity check" before every move you make. It goes like this: decide your move but before moving, ask yourself, "is the move I'm about to make totally insane?". Am I about to move a pawn when my queen is hanging? Am I about to move a minor piece when I'm about to get mated? Am I overlooking the fact that my opponent has just left a bishop hanging? 

If you do this, and do it for every single move you make, you will get to 1400 in no time. Sure, you need to do puzzles every day, study a couple of openings and some basic endgame techniques (understanding the opposition is essential, knowing how to defend with rook against rook and pawn is really important). But before (or while) you do any of that stuff, apply the sanity check every single move.

Thanks for the tips even though I am already 1800+ Blitz… But im sure your tips would be very helpful for beginners/intermediates In this forum

@iloveguppy very impressive. Do u study many openings too or just using same opening repertoire?

Hi. I'm quite frustrated today with chess so here goes my advice, leave it.

It isn't worth it.

If you're already too addicted like me, try some puzzles, endgames, studying openings, and don't look at your rating. Somehow it will end up going up if you deserve it, if not it won't. Wanting it more, by itself, doesn't help much.

Good luck on your journey!

Let’s go! 1900+ Blitz!!! Now onto breaking the 1900 Blitz barrier and crossing the considerable milestone of 2000 Blitz

@technod, sorry for the late response. Actually I only play a couple of openings for both sides and I don’t know a great deal of theory for the openings that i commonly play. In my opinion, I think the playing style of the player is far more important than the opening play of the given player sub 2500 level. I think professing to the 2000 rating level (for Blitz) requires mostly a very thorough tactical awareness that encompasses are tactical possibilities as well as a decent positional understanding (like understanding the pawn structure during your game, how passive or active you pieces are, etc). Openings come last (for players improving to 2000 rating), as long as you play openings that can’t be exploited early on in the game you will be fine. 

Getting to 2000 isn’t exactly easy but not impossible either if the player is determined, and consistent in playing solid chess with few blunders and couple of mistakes, and most importantly exploring errors from the opponent.

TL;DR I believe the best way to improve to the 2000 level is to focus on improving tactical awareness and maintaining solid positional play rather than focusing on openings.

Hope this helps @technod

Thanks for the tips @SurvivorSA

Yeah I can't lie we 2000's aren't great imo

Nice rating progression journey @iloveguppy, keep it up 

@iloveguppy, thanks for the confirmation. we are much the same. my fide rating also like yours. hopefully we can achieve 2000 blitz rating. mine a bit slow. Just reaching 1600 mark
