He could very well be He claims, on his profile, to have a 1932 USCF rating. I don't have enough suspicion to dispute it lol.
At OP. As being a sub 2000 too, I have never focused on positional chess overly. I recomend buying Silman's Reasses your chess book. It should give you a good grasp of postional chess up to that level and possibly beyond.

I don't know how anyone gets a USCF OTB rating without a serious course of study of some sort.

getting back on topic, the english grandmasters are brilliant writers and John Nunn's "understanding chess move by move" is quite good.

My System, by Nimzo, is an oldie, but goodie.
Excelling at Chess, by Jacob Aagard, is also full of great insights.
Both books should improve your playing at the 2000+ level.
Thanks. Reassess Your Chess and My System look pretty good.

IIRC even Silman says at most he aimed that book at 2000, mostly for lower ratings. Not that you couldn't learn things but I wouldn't think of it as the best choice. Nunn's move by move book is more like 1500. I'd go with Aagard.
@0110001101101000 Yeah, some parts seem to be really basic in Reassess Your Chess.

Basic Stragegy and advanced tactics, in my opinion, is the way to 2000+!

If you are 14? years of age and already ~2000 , (wow) just continue what you do , looks like it works pretty well and perhaps you should read books like Amateur to IM , or actually more advanced stuff ,..
