Whenever I start working with a new student who is stuck at a plateau, 9 times out of 10 they are playing 20 blitz games a day and doing zero deep analysis of their losses. Swap to playing just 2 rapid games a day, but spend 15 minutes analyzing each game on your own before checking the engine. Your rating will thank you.

I’m currently on 200 elo, so I also need a bit of advice. In your guys’ opinions, what are the best chess openings?

Best openings for your level? As white, Italian game or ruy Lopez (solid and easily memorable choices) as black, e5 is a common response, but there are some great options with the Sicilian (c5)

Honestly, getting from 100 to 1000 is much more achievable than most people think. 🙂
At that level, improvement is usually not about memorizing tons of opening theory.
The biggest rating jumps often come from fixing a few fundamental habits:
• stop hanging pieces in 1 move
• always ask “what is my opponent threatening?” before moving
• play slower time controls sometimes (rapid helps a LOT)
• analyze your losses briefly instead of instantly starting a new game
• practice basic tactical patterns every day
• and learn a few simple opening ideas instead of 20 complicated openings
Also, many players around beginner level focus too much on attacking immediately.
Very often the stronger beginner is simply the player who:
• develops pieces
• controls the center
• keeps the king safe
• and blunders less often 😄
And one important thing:
don’t measure improvement only by rating day to day.
Chess skill develops unevenly.
Sometimes your understanding improves first, and the rating follows later.
