What is the difference between 1600 and 1700?

Sort:

and Is there any know-how to reach 1700 easily?

I’m not 1600-1700, but if it’s bullet, play a lot of 30 second games.

To be honest, I don't know. I don't even see that much of a difference between 1600 players and 2000 players. My advice would be to just grind games, do tactics, keep learning positional concepts and pretty much just continue what you're already doing. Also I might suggest to start learning about pawn structures and begin studying opening theory more fully.

*KID structure autistic screeching*

anyways guinea pig is correct, pawn structures should be part of your knowledge as a 1700.

Because I told him to do that and it worked hahahaha

Study endgame tactics and crush your opponent in the endgame. 1600's can't play endgames

I'll disagree. Find a copy of "My System" by Aron Nimzowitch, read it cover-to-cover, and apply what you learn.

I wouldn't know.

Maybe the 1700 is better than the 1600, but that might not be true.

You can get to 1700 in different ways, so there's no way to know how a 1700 is better than a 1600 unless we're talking about two specific people, and there's no formula to get to 1700.

The only definite thing is you're required to have formed good calculation habits... you can form them much earlier, but if you haven't formed them at all, then you'll be stuck under 1700 no matter what else you learn or how long you play.

By calculation habits I mean checking whether your opponent's move was a blunder, and checking whether your intended move is safe. Of course everyone does this sometimes, but I mean you do it as a habit, so you do it nearly 100% of the time in nearly 100% of your games.
