I'm 8-y.o. boy (3rd grader) with 1860 Rapid Elo on chess.com. I have a plan to reach 2000+ Elo in June this year. How can I improve as fast as possible? Thank you very much!

How can I get over 1700 OTB USCF

I have been stuck around 1800 rapid and my blitz is 1500 but I'd like to reach 2000+ in the next few years. Would you recommend I play against much stronger opponents to learn more quickly? Or are tactics, openings, or gameplay experience more important at my level?

The top players work out a lot.

Magnus is a prime example. He is great at soccer and tennis.

Depends on the gamemode.

If you're talking about blitz, I'd suggest you to use Chessbase to train your opening
