I have been stuck between 950-1000 Elo for 4 months. How do I get to a higher Elo?

Are you having the same problem as I am? Only gaining the smallest amount of elo per win?
YellowFierce

like 8 elo? yeah

YellowFierce

You get higher rating swings when your a new player

NoobyzXD
Yeah, it's really hard to push when your only getting 6-8 elo per game. In other words, to win better, I have been following the rules of waitjng for your opponent to hang something. Works most of the time.

  • puzzles - work on calculation. dont guess moves but play entire puzzle in your head, and double and tripple check different variations before beginning to play moves.
  • watch rapid games with commentary like the 15+10 champions chess tour

play 15+10 yourself, or 30+0 games, to allow yourself to think slowly

and analyze later

  • also I like the "Lessons" on chess.com, especially about Endgames...
  • I see you also have the Premium Membership so you can save your Game Analysis and try building a modest file of openings and middle game plans to try to memorize. Aim for a versatile opening toolkit, not something too set or heavily theoretical, but more as building yourself a few plans to counter common openings and strategies you meet regularly. 

--this stuff should get you to 1500 quite comfortably with daily practice

Thank you for telling me this!

I was 1200 in second grade, so am I right now because I don't do as much chess now...

Just study openings on some website like chessable

Learn exactly how to think in the opening, middlegame and endgame — this is what I teach.
Always blunder-check your moves.
Solve tactics in the right way.
Analyze your games.
Study games of strong players.
Learn how to be more psychologically resilient.
Work on your time management skills.
Get a coach if you can.

Here's my tip as a 1500 (Okay it's 1497 same thing) Puzzles, Puzzles, and more puzzles and look at Strategy of the game. And look at openings but not important. And don't waste money on a coach.

I feel you guys it's tough I barely got out of it I'm currently like 1125 elo but the opening I used to get to 1100 was the London that Gothamchess teaches

I use the King's Indian Attack all the time (With both sides). I used to play the fried liver with white, and I knew how to stop myself from getting fried.
