okay, I kind of self-contradicted myself - if you want gambits, don't play the London, gambits are mostly found for White if he plays 1.e4. and the London begins with 1.d4. your choice.

For more about gambits - IM Eric Rosen's videos. he's number one in this.

All GMs play blitz and bullet. Should you play mostly bullet and blitz? NO!

Also, very few GMs play daily actively, thus NMs are at the best Daily chess players, not GMs. 

bruh

you can play blitz and bullet if you want, but never ever try to play blitz or bullet if you want to improve, play them for fun.

Its not that hard, I was 1400 up until recently when I stoped analysing my games and playing as seriously, I would recommend you learn an opening or 2, get yourself a chess.com membership and analyse every game you play win or lose.

Nickolay is just constantly taking Ls

Anyway, at that rating range I'd say piece activity is probably what's going to win you the most games. Know where the optimal places for your pieces are (Depending on what openings you play), what they do on those squares, and how to use pawns to activate them. 

But other than that just stay principled. Don't waste tempi for no reason, don't castle into an attack, don't push pawns in front of your king etc etc etc

Puzzles should also be a main aspect of your study to improve tactical vision

@Immaculate_Slayer, your improvement is also very impressive. About your question: rapid is very much inflated at least in lower bracket, compare your own rapid and blitz.

Don't come tell me to compare my rapid with blitz

I barely play blitz and I can't think under time pressure

My OTB rating is no 1200

Arnaut10

#45 I have played only for fun and I have same progress as you. 50 points lower at rapid (easily fixable) and dping better at blitz as compensation. Don't fool yourself.

If thats impressive I guess my 600 - 1700 improvement since february is ultra genius then?

If you are an adult, yes, that really is very impressive. If you're a kid or teenager, it's still very good, but there are (relatively speaking, of course) many others like you.

Yeah, I'm not an adult, however, my point was not to brag about my improvement speed but to say that it is not the most impressive to climb some blitz rating points in 7 months, especially considering that it was not a huge amount. Anyway, I'm planning on becoming a master, so it doesn't matter how fast I can get points on some chess site.
