What are some study recommendations you suggest for getting better? I am a 900 rated rapid 10 min game player.

Unless you're willing to play slow time controls like Daily or at least G45. Your improvement will be very limited. No one improved by playing fast.

Thank you. I will look into more Daily games and longer time controls.

But honestly do whatever makes the game fun for you. But improvement is a priority. Then playing fast will not work.

I am wanting to improve and eventually get above 1000 rating then go up from there.

I appreciate it! I am always open to help/suggestions or analyzing my games for trends. That is a lot of work to do for someone though.

My son went from day 1 beginner to 2100 rapid in 9 months which is exceedingly rare. of course it is a large part natural talent but for study he simply plays and evaluates his own games also he calculates darn near every move. Honestly most people are lazy players he is not. No hope chess, no guessing, no choosing even an easier to calculate move. he can learn on the fly even in a 10 minute rapid ….although he says pointless to try to learn from blitz. Still for most people it takes 30 minute or even an hour game. I recently hit 1700 on lichess classical. sorry to mention them but I just have let my account here languish. my elo is low but i also had my first day 10 months ago…..I am getting movement now from calculating moves, i have switched to 20 minute. 10 minute is too restrictive for me

Well, you're telling us what you're NOT about. How about telling us why you're posting on every thread in every forum? Just to get a name for yourself? or does it also boost your ratings or give you stickers or stars or whatever? I'm just asking out of curiosity - not judging (yet). :-)
