It's easier then what you think

Rock_w if it’s easy how come every one on chess.com haven’t reached it yet? If it’s so unimaginably easy how come you still find players rated 1200 and less? Please consider what you’re writing before posting anything

Jean, thanks, this is interesting. Did you consequently analyse your games without or with an engine? And what about openings? Did you just try things, or was you following a certain repertoire?

How is possible that your rating in rapid is much lower? I mean, did you only improve your blitz by playing blitz? My main interest is to improve my OTB play in rapid or longer games.

Well, I personally hit 1400 about 4 months into my career, and 1600 in 7 months. I didn't find it difficult. I went from 1600 to 1800 in about 3. and in the past 1.5 year, I've gotten vrery close to 2000. chess improvement is not difficult if you go about it the correct way.
no doubts about it, but i 've only played chess for less then a year

i often times avoid analazing my games, don't know why could be the fact that a lot of time goes into it. I analyze my games in rare cases, for instance when i've played extremely awful, then i tend to analyze by myself and after coming with conclusions i then turn to the engine for further investigation. And yes i only play blitz because i prefer it, but i've played longer ones due to people suggesting me to play it. hope i answered your question,

Yes, you did, thanks.
So for not so long ago i started this topic where I talked about how hard it was to surpass 1600-points. But guess what, i've surpassed it big time. and for the record, not only did I reach 1700-points, no I even managed to surpass it as well and my current rating is about 1800-points. I believe that it honestly took me less then one week to reach 1800 after just hitting 1700-points.
How did I reach it? well i didn't train or anything, in terms of reading books, watching videos or to even have a coach mentoring me, no i did nun of that, and despite my lack of understanding I still managed to reach 1800-points just by playing blitz-games. So I wan't to encourage you guys to never underestimate yourself, but rather motivate yourself to reach your requests, I mean, I managed to reach it, therefore it's safe to say "you can as well"
