Tactics, tactics and then tactics... All the way to 2000.
And a good thought process. That is all.
Improving in chess is more about making less mistakes than it is finding a stronger move. You don't need to make a strong move everytime, just make a move that does not lose on the spot.
It's just about taking longer to consider your opponents plans and possible threats.
You will know the tactics you're losing to, you're just not spending long enough to look for them.
It depends. Were any of your distant relatives massacred when Henry the V defeated the French in 1415? How do you feel about the Medici family turning Florence into the hub of Renaissance education and the arts in 1450? Of course, Joan of Arc didn't fare so well in 1428... that was barbaric. Incas ruled Peru, Ivan the Great ruled Russia, Moors conquered Spain. I mean, the 1400's did experience some setbacks, but the world seems to have recovered. So when you ask how you improve from the 1400's, I suppose I can only suggest that you learn from history, lest it repeat itself.

Hi,
Every 100 barrier took me longer and longer to beat, but at the 1450s my rating has almost stagnated.
I don't know how to improve from here onwards. I cannot spend money on tutoring but I can easily get books.
Any tips and resources would be appreciated.
Thanks!
