what do you think the best way for someone who is 1700 to get better in chess. because i am finding there is not many good resources that are geared toward this rating range. i am 2200 tactics with a decent amount of endgame knowledge. i am trying to learn from masters games but i am sick of the old masters games. they were all soo bad at openings. does anyone know of any resources of either like Magnus or Hikaru's games? or any of the modern day top 10? also if anyone knows of any good coaches that are cheaper and for higher rated ppl please let me know.

Get a coach. I know asking questions are important. If you can't find one for multiple reasons. PM a friend who is high rated! happy.png It helps.

Your daily rating is 1269, so I'm going off of that.  And looking over your daily games, you're playing at about that level.  You would be better off studying the old masters, as they are geared more toward your skill level.  The modern GM's are to advanced.

Just my .02

I think Chess.com has TOO many interactive and chat features so without noticing time and fly past with little time for your chess. planning is good

You dont play anywhere near 1800.

thats the problem Jason. i dont struggle with those things. i think i am at the point where the only thing i can do to help is get experience OTB. but that is not possible cause of Covid and because i dont have the money

what are you losing most of your games from?

EvidentRoad

I dont know. 

EvidentRoad

i do all that stuff... ty tho. also bullet does help your tactical vision and help under pressure so that one is just dumb

mmm600

So analize your games

EvidentRoad

guys these are not what i am asking. i do all of these things. i just feel stuck

EvidentRoad

but it is giving you experience which can help a lot. i dont play a ton of bullet but i do play some and i think it does help
