I am currently 832 rapid and the main issue i think 800-1000 face are blunders, being forked(non knight or pawn forks) and endgames. Also 1 thing you should never do is resign as you could still or maybe even win as one gome of mine i lost my queen but then my opponent blunderd a backrank mate so then i won. Also if you want to improve you should also start learning discoveries,sacrificies and other motifs. Also at theis stage you should start learning openings.
How good is 800 elo player

Depends on how much time you have, in rapid you shouldn’t be blundering pieces in one move and know basic tactics
Shouldn't be blundering in one move 🤔
I disagree but ok....

Not good at all. End of story. Any 800 elo can easily reach 1000 with simple advice.

I am almost 800 Elo, and I have recently developed a slightly annoying habit of not moving a piece until I check my opponent's control of that square. I think it's because I used to hang my queen a lot.

I'm about an 800 and I've been improving rapidly for the past few weeks, (from like 630 to 794), My advice is just to think deeply about the reason behind your move. If your reason is something shallow like "I'll move there because it threatens peice x" the reason is too shallow. You need something like, "I'll move piece y here, because if he takes then he'll double pawns and if he moves than he'll lose material." Sometimes, if you rushed you can't find a good reason which is why playing longer games is best for improving. I know this advice is kind of simple and you probably know it already, but I thought I'd share it, gl .

I think that 800's have pretty good tactics and are heavily underestimated when it comes to gameplay. A lot of them know good tactics and average about 70-80% accuracy. They still show signs of needed improvement but I've seen some 700's doing advanced checkmate tactics, which could probably be due to puzzles. I've went from 190 to 731 in 4 months (2 months I took a break) and I can say that it's quite a difference. Not blundering peices is the number one tip, but I think that the transition from the middle game to the endgame might be up there too!
Low rated players come in all forms, with all sorts of strengths. Thats why they're low rated. They arent masters at the game.
