How to improve at 2000??

hey i'm struggle at 2000 and i want to go up like 2100 or 2200 but keep getting win and loss win and loss again. any advice please???

You need to focus on your weak areas like for example you see your positional style is not good then you should study it or review yourself with it often with positional positions and game reviewing/analyzing to seee any small positional mistakes(at your level you need all advantages you can get). The way you can see what your weak spot is, is to see what you’re missing the most in games.

You should also focus on studying openings at the fullest amount(we need all advantages at 2000+ so I recommend you get used to it) and you should know the midddlegames that come out of your opening study so you can actually play it and if it’s impossible for you to understand then don’t play the opening. The funny part is the more you know about openings the worse because the middlegame just gets harder and harder so choose wisely with your openings.

Forget about Josh11live is saying, he's very low rated.

Chomp on hanging pieces to 2500 blitz.

I feel like I am doing alot for the community and I get nothing, but it’s nice to help people so I don’t really care what other’s say. #4, how do you have that luck just for your opponent to go “error error” and just blunder a fulll piece?

Have you considered that you're just not chomping on hanging pieces?

This is why you don’t premove in these situations(moves 31. Rxc1+ to 33. Rxc1).

I got a free rook here, but I played bad positionally that I became worse because I didn’t know what to do and that means that you have to learn stuff that is not only just taking freee pieces.

Is someone else willing to help op

Same, I’m stuck at 2000 in rapid

No one?

Its practically almost always a few bad habits that you built throughout your chess career.Its a little tricky to catch upon and most people dont even notice.Go through your games especially losses and pinpoint few concrete things which are ultimately costing you the game.For example maybe you sacrifice unsoundly or you go into bad lines.After that do some work and fix those things.Hope it helps

I agree with #12

1200 isnt low rated

1200 rapid is low intermediate.

Exactly low rated is below 1000

Probably up and down a lot because 2000 is close to your current level. If you want to improve, then you'll have to investigate your own game and see where your wins and losses are coming from.

I know that one thing holding back my chess a long time ago was the way that I was eagerly simplifying the position when I was ahead. This video elaborates on that:
