What are some ways to improve my chess rating?

Dear olivianunez,
I am a certified, full-time chess coach and International Master, so I have seen it and tried it all.
There are so many ways to get better and I know it can be overwhelming.
You can learn from free videos on youtube, there are books at your disposal that can all help, but they are not tailored to your needs.
One of the most important things you can do is to analyze your games! You must learn from your mistakes! That is a priority. You can't really move on to a new, different topic and learn new ideas if you still make the same mistakes over and over again!
This is where a chess coach comes into the picture. A good coach can show you how to study, what to study, gives you the material YOU need. Naturally, it takes time to use everything in practice, but if you are relentless and persistent you will succeed!
You should learn the main principles in every area of the game (opening, middlegame, endgame). Don't focus on only one part! You should improve your tactical vision as well as it is part of all areas!
This how I built my training program for my students. We discuss more than one topic during a lesson so it's always interesting and they can improve constantly. I give homework too and the right tools to make practicing enjoyable and effective!
Don't worry about your rating and the ups and downs! Just keep on playing and practicing!
I hope this helps. I wish you good games and 100+ extra ratings

Hi Olivia, personally, I went through almost every computer bot character on CHESS.COM to get my rating up, playing friendlies, then "challenge" games . I made sure I could beat each one at least twice before moving on to the next one up. This seemed to boost my rating fairly consistently, until about 1200, where I'm now stuck it seems, despite having beaten the customizable bot set to 1400 several times now. But FitnessBen's advice seems pretty solid.
Let me know some ways to improve my chess rating. Also feel free to discuss anything chess related you'd like
