Tips on my games

I’m new to the forum and I’m unsure on how to link my most recent game. But My latest game recently I challenged a 2000+ rated player to a 15/0 unrated game and I feel like I dominated the game until I started getting pressured in time control and blundered my advantage in the end. Now the max I’ve ever been is 1600, and I’ve been reading a lot of chess books and theory in order to use that knowledge in-game but I just can’t seem to beat the players around my level consistently. It would be wonderful if anyone would be kind enough to watch my match against the 2000 player and compare it with those against players around my level and help me make sense as to why I’m not improving. Thanks for any help in advance.

You messed up around move 36, and then it was basically all over 

I looked at a few games, including the 2000 game.

First of all, in my opinion, this is 1% of the effort required to give you advice on "why you're not improving." I think anyone who'd want to competently or fully answer that question would have to look at tons of games and get to know your study routine.

So the impression I got was just the generic stuff that pretty much every player who is higher rated would say about any player rated lower than them:

1) You're not patient enough. In good positions instead of developing your pressure you try to cash it in too soon resulting in an equal position.

2) You're not focused enough. You change from one idea to another, making your moves a bit disjointed and inefficient, resulting in a good position slipping into equality.

What to do about it? It's mostly fixed via experience.

I guess I should give a few examples.

llamonade2 Thank you so very much for the time you've taken to answer this, for some reason I didnt get any notifications until recently for it and I apologise for the late reply. But based on your analysis I think this is an area of my game I'm going to start focusing on and I'll start basing my study around being able to identify board imbalances advantages in games so I dont fold under pressure and lead with disjointed plans
