How do I grow in rating?

I am currently 1200 and need a bit of advice.  It would help if people over 1200 gave advice of how they grew from 1200 rating to 1300 or 1400 rating. 

i climbed to 2200 blitz by chomping on hanging pieces

Don’t listen to the troll, he gets banned repeatedly

1200 is the first big hurdle for many chess players, and some people get stuck there for a long time. My advice is simply to do more than learn openings, start learning the associated plans. It’ll give you direction in the middlegame

Thanks. I am good at openings and the plans. It is my strong point, but is there anything else? Thanks

You’re probably good at the opening lines but the associated middlegame plans are often more tricky to learn so I still think that’s a good idea. Would you say you’re more tactical or positional?

There is a chess book call "How to win at chess" by Levy Rozman, the book is very good( i have used it and i improved my elo(its still horrible btw)) . The book has tips and lessons for all elo ranges. I hope that helps you!(the book is on Amazon)

when i said its still horrible i meant my elo

Play more puzzles. I've found that consistently solving puzzles is an extremely reliable way to get better, and way more effective than most people seem to think. BUT, you have to commit to solving said puzzles for weeks to months in order to see major progress.

Git gud. Next question.....

Whats t

What's the difference

It may work for you. Idk if it's a good investment for me because I remember

I remember Levy said this book was only for beginners

Ye thanks for the advice. This is life-changing.

Play consistent openings, improve at puzzles. If you're interested in buying books or courses I would recommend Logical Chess by Chernev, it helped me get into the right thought process about thinking in chess.

Outside of that I couldn't really help you much, since when I was 1200 I was already very tactically sharp and by that alone I could zoom out of it in a couple weeks.

Wow, ur so high rated.

I got stuck at 1200 forever, but a few things helped me climb 1300

1. Bought a diamond membership. It's expensive for sure, bt the puzzles, game review, and unlimited learning material is very valuable.

2. Watch a lot of chess-related youtube videos. You would be surprised about how much you can learn whilst sitting on your couch on a Saturday afternoon.

3. Play lots of games, seems obvious but some players do everything mentioned above but only play twice a day.

4. Challenge high rated players in unrated matches. You will lose most of them, but many times you can receive a little bit of free coaching when you inquire about your mistakes.

5. Buy chess books. Knowledge is power, and books help out gain said knowledge.

I'm still following these principles in my climb to 2000.

I have a chesskid membership which is pretty similar to chess.com, watch gothamchess, challenged and beat 1500 and 1600s, play a good amount of games, and have a chess course. Ig I will grow in rating because I followed your tips.
