I'm not that high rated but based on my studies, learning strategies is really great but experience is best. Having great experience but lack of tactics and/or strats might cause you to not gain any material and even miss a win. If you lack tactics & strats, i prefer you play for the endgame. You'll have higher chances since of your experience on winning and securing a draw, etc. Having great tactics and strategy can be essential to winning almost instantly but lack of experience can cause you to have a bad position or even blunder even in slow games. If you lack experiece, i prefer trying to stick to the middle game and/or have a closed position. You'll have higher chances since you can see more posibilities than your opponent. Combining those two is good!

@colonivers, yes of course you want 2000+ plus advice. But first you have to set smaller goals for yourself, so you don’t need someone over twice your rating to explain things to you.
And don’t worry, higher rated people will respond at some point, like Preggo or Bacon

for any good players how did you start playing and how were you originally? How long did it take you to get good? In terms of learning, is experience or learning strategy/studying more important?
