Main difference between a 2200 and 2300 rapid player
Sort:
they are just slightly better than us in every aspect of the game
I just got 2300 today. The main thing is defending positions, in my opinion. In my last game, I beat an NM down a pawn, but I was able to defend and counterattack. A fide master told me, "When your opponents are attacking you and you defend every threat, they will most likely get upset and throw the game." That is a summarized version of what he said.
Hello, I am a rapid player that roughly fluctuates between a 2160-2200 level, and I was just wondering what it takes to get those extra 100 points to get to 2300, as I feel I have plateaued at this level for roughly a year now, and so I was wondering what advice you would give to an aspiring 2300
