You’ve only played 64 games of rated rapid. If you’re above 1200 as a default, play enough games and you’ll probably hit 1500 no problem 👍

make sure you have a solid opening repretoire against e4 d4 and against e5 d5 as well as against sicilian, caro kann, and french. I recommend Vienna gambit, fantasy carrokann, alapin Sicilian for white, and just copying white when ur black

Play more games. If you dont study chess, you’ve got to compensate with playing a lot to improve at a decent pace, which you are not doing at the current time
