oh don't worry I've been doing all those, just been using a table instead of the book, might be good to use something sorter so I'll give it a look, who knows might be worth opening and "reading" it at some point as well xD

While an annoying troll comment, there is an element of truth to this: Use Silman's book! It's excellent, teaches principles in simple terms, and even helped me when I was around 1700. I also reccomend learning pawn endgames, at least a little. No need to worry about the other endings for right now, but pawn endgames are crucial. Good luck!

do you think that I'm better off getting that book later at a higher elo or will it be applicable now?

even at 700 elo? i heard that there is a book you should start of with before this book? that the author suggests reading first
I think Chernev’s Practical Chess Endings is a great book on endings for beginners.Â
also, I recommend -Chernev’s Logical Chess Move by Move for beginners. There is a video series that has been going over the games in this book (Nelson Lopez, I think). Hearing how masters think about moves in the opening and analyzing middle game positions will help any beginner, much more than playing bullet and blitz gam s against other beginners.

Do you want my advice? I'm reccomending that book, simple as that. If you think you're ready for it then read it, if not, then don't. I think it's stupid to limit yourself by the "complexity" of a book's content, glean what you can from it and keep coming back as you improve, stop limiting yourself because of your rating.

I'm not upset, sorry, it is a little tiresome when I offer advice though and it appeared as if you wanted to just challenge me on it. I understand how it's frustrating to go back and forth, it happens to me all the time even now. I really would reccomend his book though, keep playing, and keep seeking for opportunities to improve. Don't limit yourself by how "advanced" content is, just learn what you can from it and as you get better you'll realize more and more from that same concept.
I'm 700 elo and would like to get to 1000, what resources should I be using? I do a lot of puzzles my highest-rated puzzle rush was 34 and my highest puzzle score was 1995 which for 700 elo seems pretty good. I don't know, other than that I've watched a few beginner videos and read some puzzle books just wondering where I should go from here. what are the best resources to focus on at my level and what should be my main priorities?
If anyone responds to this thanks very much for taking the time to help me out and answer a question i appreciate it!
