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.

You set the bar way too high. You are still 1437 CFC with no FIDE rating, and there will be quite a few strong titled players in the tournament- you need hard work of several months (if not years) to compete succesfully against that field.
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.
I don't really think that your rating matters .You need just practice. You can lose , but learn something from that game

Thank you! I will make sure to do this stuff!

Yes, but in those 28 games, most of them are before I got to 2100. So It is quite underrated. After I play more games, you will see it being atleast 1800.

How did you get to 2100 in the first place?? I'm only 1100 and I'd love to increase that. Did you just play a lot and sort of automatically get better?
Some tips: Play aggressive, gambit, study endgames, buy the Art Of aTTACK in chess, use chessable?
No, your 1600 so not qualifies to answer... gambits generally are losing, chessable only helps openings which dont matter that much

Bro he was asking for online 2100 elo not OTB
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.
i literally asked him specifically 2100 online or 2100 otb and he said online.
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.

I was saying I will practice 3 hours/ day. To be honest, I don't really care if I lose my peak because I know I'll get it back. Whenever I find a higher rated player, I play them without any doubt or fear that I will lose.

CUZ THEY CAN CHECK YOU CFC BRO WHAT
Hello everyone, I am a teenage chess addict, who has a very important tournament (The Canadian Youth Chess Championship). There are, of course, people with 2400+ ratings there but I still have hope that I might go to the WYCC or NAYCC. The tournament is next month. I decided to practice for 3 hours a day after exams. Is there any hope for me to get to 2200/2300? (I am stuck at 2100 for a while. My chart shows proof!) If so, titled players/2100+ players, please shed some light on me!
sounds exactly like me!
