Player development.

Howdy there chess players.

My question is. I was winning games and now seem at a point where my game needs to develope to start winning again. Is this normal to reach a development plateau.

Would anyone have any suggestions on how to up my game.

Thanks blindside.

It's study and play.

Study in a way different (and improved) than before. For me, picking up my first chess book and starting to read/follow along with analyses, instead of merely playing 5-minute and 15-minute blitz games as well as occasionally working on tactics training, was enough to get my rating here from 1400-ish to where it is now.

Thanks for all your input. I will study and play hard.

Also if anyone wants to play and then analyse bad moves or weak points I would be happy to play.
