How to increase my rating.

A few quick tips that can help:
Play slower games (like 30|0 or 15|10) so you actually have time to think.
Focus on basic tactics (pins, forks, skewers) — solving 5-10 puzzles a day consistently is more powerful than cramming.
Don't memorize openings, just understand basic opening principles: control the center, develop pieces, and castle early.
After each game, review your blunders instead of just jumping into the next one. Fixing a few big mistakes makes a huge difference fast.
If you are serious about speeding up your progress, I also offer 1-on-1 beginner coaching and structured study plans tailored for players under 1000. I have sent you a PM — happy to help you hit that milestone! 🎯
Good luck, you've got this!
I have been stuck at the 400-500 rating for bullet, blitz and rapid. When I get higher than that I will start dropping again, sometimes even lower than normal. Can somebody tell me the strategy to increase my rating.
