I've been playing for years against my ex who is an excellent player.
Hey solflores! How’s it going bud?
Capablanca says to study endgames... lots of tactics is another theory... I’ve also heard going over old gm games over the board is very helpful. Regardless of what you do unless your naturally talented it’s going to be a lot of long hard work that will probably take years if you’re serious about it.
Only think I know for sure is the answer is not to study openings and play blitz. 😂

I started playing seriously during the "Fischer mania" in the early 1970s.
Of course... "playing seriously" is a relative term. I advanced from 1100 to 1500 strength or so pretty rapidly, then plateaued for quite a while. OTB tournaments slowly raised my strength to about 1800, then I started teaching chess at local clubs and rapidly gained another 200 points, taking me to around 2000 OTB rating.
Then I stopped playing chess for nearly 30 years. Fairly recently (within the last five years) I started playing online chess, reaching nearly 2200 (although online ratings are by-and-large worthless).
My current 2297 rating is rather silly... I gained 108 points of that in a single game; this one:
