Hello i've been playing chess for a about a year and recently made a new chess.com account. I have rapidly made up my way to 1600 elo however I'm feeling like i'm stuck at this elo and I would like to reach 2000 elo maybe in a week or month I don't know if that is possible. I mainly play rapid or blitz btw

You play, you practice, you win more.

You play, you lose, you analyse your lost games to learn from your mistakes.

Figure out what's holding you back and focus on that.

The main difference between a 1600 and a 2000 player is that the latter’s play is more sharp and forcing. Try to improve more on tactics by solving a large number of puzzles. Learn 1 opening for white and 1 for black deeply, and play these openings only. Learn king pawn endgames more deeply.

It's doable if you play 24/7 with no sleep. Obviously, you need sleep, but 2000 elo isn't that quick of a journey as it seems to be. I had a plateau for around 2 months, 2 months, and 6 months at 1600, 1800, and 2000 respectively. The biggest difference between a 1600 and a 2000 could be the largest or slightest of things. When I was a 1600, I realized that 2000 players would play very fast compared to me in 10 minute games, so I picked up my pace and played more solidly. I also found out that 1600s play natural developing moves that have negative consequences in the future, such as the misplacement of a piece. An example of this could be in the exchange caro, and then my opponent plays Nc3, and I immediately evaluate it as a inaccuracy.

This "possibility" of it being achieved legitimately is about the same as a naturally occurring rube goldberg machine
