How To Be An Advanced Player ??
Play long time control games and think about each and every move. Also do lots of tactics training right now. Notice combinations and having a bit more positional awareness will help a lot
You need to be born with the talent to play at that level. If you have it, great, lucky you. If not, then I've got some bad news for you: You won't be playing at that high level.

Depends on what you mean by high level. When I was playing in the 12-1300 brackets 1500 and up was high level.
At 1700 blitz and 1900 rapid, I'm struggling to figure out how to improve to 2000 - that being said, I don't believe it is only talent. I believe you can learn through hard work and study. Super GM on the other hand.......yeah prodigy level.

Well 1500 isn't exactly a rating to write home about honestly. But high level would be the GM level, so 2500+. And you only get there through having an immense amount of talent and hard work. If you don't have the talent but work hard, you're really only looking at 2000-ish maybe.

1500 may not be something to write home about to you, but there are a lot of players that really look up to that rating and strive to be there and would be considered advanced. 1500 to someone stuck in 700 IS definitely advanced.
Study, Study, Study! Start with Chess Fundamentals by Capablanca. Study Winning Chess series by GM Seirawan. Analyze your own games without chess engines. That's enough to get you to 2000 after 2 years.
Analyze without engines study openings you like and grind that's how I got to 2000
If your stuck at 700 I really recommend finding a 1400-1600 you can repeatedly play against normally or though odds you need to play good players in order to improve
And practice 1 to 2 hours a day and don’t chat or get distracted
tactics is everything under 1700, most low rated games will be decided by who found the tactics first to win the game. it's all about having the pattern recognition and calculation to find it during the critical moments of the game. you just need to grind a ton of puzzles nonstop until you can subconsciously find the mate in 2s, forks, pins, tactics to gain material etc. tyler1 is a great example of this, he reached 1700~ after only a couple months of playing chess by the sheer amount of puzzle grinding he does.
most likely, you won't be needing to learn much deeper positional concepts until ur about that range. the basic principles is already enough as a basis for your positional understanding.
Analyze without engines...
Very good advice!
The point is that we don't really care if some engine says we should have made THIS move instead of THAT move. We'll probably never see that specific position again, anyway. What we really care about is learning how to THINK about a chess position; learning which factors are important in what type of position, learning which "warning signs" we should be paying attention to... and no engine can tell you those things. You have to work it out for yourself.
If you like, I can play Daily games with you. You have to analyze the game yourself as I have other things to do.
700 rating is statistically about average for chess rating, but if you want to become a more advanced chess player, then just like most things in life, it takes learning, study and experience.
