I am a 15 year old. I play otb local tourndys every time there is any. My fide rating standard would be 1600-1700. I am planning to make it around 2000 in 6 months or so. I am ready to work hard to improve my game.
Study and hard work has to be balanced with paying your dues playing alot of chess against many opponents who are very good in order to aquire the necessary experience that it takes to be a strong player or expert yourself your not going to aquire it in only 6 months it takes longer than that.
Suggestions for improving.......
Play 60 minute or higher games 3 or 4 times a week against the best opponents you can find around who fight and defend ferociously
Don't play too much Blitz and Rapid Chess (Garbage)
Analyze your games alone and in groups
Play in Simuls against GM's and IM's online or at your Chess Club whenever possible
Solve lots and lots of tactics problems and checkmates without moving the pieces on a chess board
Thanks
