Daniel Naroditsky, GingerGM and Alex Banzea were good for me on youtube. A lot of it for me is just my frame of mind when playing. I often go on losing and winning streaks rather than staying consistent. I find taking some time off then going back to it helps when I'm playing badly. Doing puzzles is good.

I'm not much past 1000 myself. Most of the hurdle was just cutting down on blunders and taking smaller advantages when they're available rather than going for something risky and big all the time.

Alex was good for caro kann and other opening.

Yeah his videos really helped me. I got Gotham's course on the Caro as well but never got round to putting in the hours and finishing it.

I should probably start to learn other openings a bit but I'm in too deep now...
