Most people take at least several months to hit 1000 so I'd say you are doing quite well.  All the threads in the forums are archived, and as you might expect, you aren't the first player to ask for help.  I'll do a search for you...

I wrote this for someone else, but it's good advice I think...wink.png

Try a heavily annotated collection of chess games such as Logical Chess Move by Move Every Move Explained by Irving Chernev.  There have been many dozens of threads asking for best chess books and it's rare that a post doesn't mention Chernev.  It's not for A class players and above looking for the latest fashionable line in the poisoned pawn variation of the Najdorf.  It's for relative newcomers to the game who could use some explanations of just how chess works.

The games of beginning chess players are almost never won or lost because one side knew the opening better, or played better positional moves. 99 times out of 100, the game will be decided when one side makes a big mistake, like losing a queen or rook, or overlooks a checkmate. So the most important thing you can do to boost your rating is to avoid making those big mistakes and to take advantage of your opponent's big mistakes.

IM me if you're interested in learning more

The best advise I can give is to not worry about, don't even think about,  your rating and enjoy the game.  It's only the playing that matters.
