Hi! The fastest way to go up your rating is by working on your weaker points. For that it is best to have the help of a teacher or coach. Check out my post: https://www.chess.com/blog/maafernan/chess-skills-development

When I got to 1800 my main focus was positional play, I read Simple Chess and watched a lecture most days. I knew my openings to about 6 moves. I knew the tactical patterns but didn't play many puzzles. I think at 1800 there is a fair bit of positional play involved as most games seem to be decided by one player getting the activity required to execute simple tactics. I rarely see complex tactics or sacrifices.

Improving at chess can be quite challenging, but there are various ways to enhance your skills.
For those looking to improve without coaching, here's some valuable advice:
1. Play Frequently: The more you play, the better you'll become at recognizing patterns and making strategic decisions.
2. Analyze Your Games: Review your past games to identify mistakes and areas where you can improve. This self-analysis is a powerful learning tool.
3. Focus on Tactics: Tactics play a crucial role in chess. Spend time solving tactical puzzles and exercises to sharpen your tactical skills.
4. Learn from Masters: Studying grandmaster games can provide insights into advanced strategies and tactics.
