That's the ratings range where you usually need a coach to make meaningful progress.
I have a coach this is 2400-2500
Whenever I play a 2000 I get into a good position and then make a blunder
I would give you some super awesome advise but I'll never even be a 1900
Then don't make blunders. :-)

What kind of blunders are you making? Are you having tactical issues? Are you making positional errors like exchanging off your good pieces for your opponent's bad pieces? Are you exchanging down into bad endgames? Once you identify the problem, the solution will present itself.

Try g4 and then f4 as your opening repertoire and you'll back in to 1900 in a few days!

I want to go to 2000 not 1900, I am at 1900
Keep winning is the key for everything here.
It is hard because I play am playing blindfold on this website and am .5 out of 10 games
According to Dan Heisman:
Experts think to get out of trouble whereas masters think to avoid trouble. This also applies to A-players. In other words study defense and prophylaxis more.
In Chess for Zebras a B-player only saw one potential plan in a position whereas the 2400 saw many potential plans. Look at more than one plan and go with what you like best. Planning has its foundations in positional imbalances, especially the center and pawn structure!
His advice for experts trying to reach master applies somewhat to A as well:
Study annotated master games to improve your evaluation faculty. Visualizing variations is only part of calculation, making an accurate assessment at the end of the lines is the other half of calculation. Also play and analyze games with stronger players. A good source for annotated master games are tournament books such as game collections (Smyslov's 2 volume set is excellent, as is Botvinnik's 3 volumer from the same publisher) San Luis 2005 and various Chess Informants.

Enjoyed the part about transitioning from Expert to Master as I've been stuck around 2100 for a couple years and it's getting old. <--Should try to be clever by avoiding trouble instead of trying to be smart by thinking my way out of it *after* it happens.
please help me get there
