trying to improve past 1000
Whenever I start working with a new student who is stuck at a plateau, 9 times out of 10 they are playing 20 blitz games a day and doing zero deep analysis of their losses. Swap to playing just 2 rapid games a day, but spend 15 minutes analyzing each game on your own before checking the engine. Your rating will thank you.
It also took me 2 months To get just 120 + but now I am growing 20+ per week. The reason why cuz you should not play a lot of games because our mind has a limit of usage per day. So pls play less matches and long time matches so you could your ming wisely and also increase rating If it doesn't work, then try to do not play chess for few days. Hope it was helpful :)
Thank you for your tips, I don't know if you guys would see this but I started playing only 2 rapid games a day and doing deep analysis every time, this helps me keep fresh every game and learn something every time I play. Thank you guys so much for your tips and now at the time of me typing this I'm aproaching 1100 I'm 1076 as I'm typing this and have went on some crazy winstreaks. I could't thank you guys enough, playing 2 games instead of like 10 or something like I used to is a game changer. Have a good day!
People say to look for checks, captures, and attacks. These are forcing moves that seize the initiative and force your opponent to deal with your problems which distracts them from their attack. This tip/trick does work and is true, but don’t look for them every move. Only in complex positions or positions where you’re like “What do I do now?” and can’t think of a good plan.
Hope this helps!
