If after 1800+ games of speed chess and youre not improving?  The issue just may be speed chess.

I've only played 8-900 blitz games but you are right that blitz is not what I am most comfortable with. Neither was aggressive play in the beginning.  But I am only rated 1000 in blitz and I would be very surprised if it's not possible to improve at that with hard work.

I assume you mean the Six Power Moves book.  If so, I would be interested to hear what you think of it (once you've finished it).

That's right. It's travelling from the US to Norway, so don't expect a feedback too soon :-)

Neither do I.

If you ask those who post nonsense in these forums to elaborate, you will likely receive more nonsense...

No problem.  I am in no hurry.

pattern-recognition can be developed with lots of puzzle rush:  try to solve each one correctly & your speed will naturally improve in time.

The writer of the book has a lot of you tube videos available, search for chess edge., Also look at GM Igor Smirnov you tube video All chess strategy explained, it is just what you are looking for.
