At your level I guess you can learn and understand much from Master Method by Simon Williams/Ginger GM. There are some free samples on You tube. I have both of them.
Any tips to reach 1900. am currently at 1700 blitz. Feel free to tell from personal experience.

"At your level"? Apparently he had to use some imagination there...

One thing I know for sure is that if you play people who are rated higher than you it will help you to see their ideas, and you can learn from them. Work with your openings, and develop favorite openings, and then more playing with good players. Alternated time controls too. Broad and diverse experience helps!

Blitz only gives you time to play the ideas and patterns that you know best.
So to get better at blitz, first you do normal stuff like play long games (ideally OTB tournament games), read books, look at GM games, all that normal stuff people do to improve.
At your level there's usually at least one major topic you haven't studied because you find it boring or hard or you just don't like it. IMO the 5 basic topics are openings, strategy, tactics, endgames, and an annotated game collection. IMO the easiest advice for someone who hasn't studied each of them is to just pick one and do it. No matter what you pick it's going to increase your rating (but ideally you pick your weakest area).
Get a classic well regarded book on the topic, get a board and a notebook, and play over all the analysis on your board and takes notes about parts you find interesting or instructive. Once a week, if possible, play long serious games. If you can't do it with a person an engine around your level works too. Make the time control at least 30 minutes and take the game seriously. Analyze the game afterwards so you wont repeat your mistakes.
thanks for the advice
my endgame is weakest so ill start from there.
I know the others will disagree, but for me what worked was just playing a ton of blitz games, so that’s what I would recommend to you
If you look at your stats your average wins and losses are around 1700 in blitz which as you say is your level it shows you playing people of a similar level, perhaps setting your game table playing above for a while. Some people get to 2000 level playing and beating below 1400 ratings only you are above that level so you doing ok.

you're not playing any more blitz games, are you? since you got the even 2000 over the hard work of whole 32 games (let's assume fair play), which was roughly a month ago, do you not wanna play more games because you like your current number, and you dont wanna keep increasing it? can you make it stop at exactly 2018, and then increase by 1 each year? ithink that would be interesting to see

Haha stiggling has been called out “again” and lost his 2000 rating that he so craved, but he also still only plays an average 1300 player. Stop giving advice kid you a fraud lol.
