How do I get past 2100? Really Important!

Here's my 2 cents on how to get better as a player:

1. Do chess tempo (30 minutes a day). Set the board up and don't make any moves; treat it like a real tournament game 

2. Use ChessBase and look at any holes in your opening repertoire 

3. Analyze some new openings and strategize which openings to use against which type of player. You don't want your opponents to easily out-prepare you

4. During a tournament, don't focus on winning or losing; instead, focus on trying your best and playing the best moves that come to your mind. If you make a mistake, treat it as a learning experience and reflect on why you miscalculated or misevaluated.

How do you know this stuff??? Also my rated CFC is underrated. Check my quick rating and I do have a blitz FIDE (1932). Sure there will be a few titled players but there is still hope!

From your CFC profile, of course. Your FIDE blitz rating is provisional (16 games on just one event) so not indicative yet, and anyway the tournament you will play isn't blitz, but rather typical FIDE time control for youth events (90'+30"). There, you have to perform way better than your current standard rating, which is based on 28 games, so it cannot be "underrated" by much.

Some tips: Play aggressive, gambit, study endgames, buy the Art Of aTTACK in chess, use chessable?

he is, he's talking about trying to get 2300/2400 real rating XD.

first up, stop being deluded and until you can even hit 2600 blitz on this site don't think about pipe dreams like that. You're not even 2100 fide strength yet.

But if u see his last few posts he again talks about OTB

Well then he might have changed his mind

Practice early game - Opening theory form online courses, etc

Practice mid-game - Puzzles, playing blitz or rapid (playing helps here a lot)

Practice late-game - Endgame patterns and puzzles

Split your time into these three categories and I think you will do great. Middle game(personally) is the most important at your level as players are still vulnerable to slight blunders and misplays. Spend more time on opening theory and practicing some well known lines and some out of the ordinary ones.

Overall, you playing 3 hours a day is already extremely good as if you continue to play, the more experience you get, the better you'll play. Each player has their own unique skillset, so playing in the 2000 range really lets you experience all different kinds of deep theory, tactics, etc. Dont be pressured into not playing due to your all time peak, etc. Playing is the most important part of chess. if you don't play, you'll never improve.
