I short game isn't really that impressive good job though but it's easy to get 90% accuracy when your opponent hangs mate in one out of the opening

Yeah, maybe, but I at least expect 600

Thpugh you actually have to play chess games to get your rating up and down

Dr-Sveshnikov

In my opinion as 1700. If you are stuck at a rating then you deserve to be stuck there until the reasons as to why you are playing poorly enough to be in said rating is fixed. I was hardstuck at 1500 for a while on an old account because I missed tactics, ignored my opponents plans and tunnel visioned. When those flaws were fixed I outplayed the people in my rating who still had such flaws. I reached 1700 recently and I feel that I could climb to 1800 within a short amount of time.
TLDR
Just keep playing and improve upon your flaws. Do you mess up tactics? Do puzzles. Do you have a hard time in the opening? Study opening theory and the plans behind your opening. Otherwise just keep playing and you'll climb eventually

"Just keep playing and improve upon your flaws. Do you mess up tactics? Do puzzles"

Yes and no it helps but you need to actually get them during game 

Hense why there are 1200s that are 2500+ elo in puzzles

@BigChessplayer665 I would say that puzzles are good for you to build up your pattern recognition because in the end chess is just a game of patterns. If I get a position in front of me as a puzzle and I can find a mate or a way to win material due to my pattern recognition then that would work in a real game too. It is just a way to easily work up your pattern recognition and ability to spot tactics.

Trust me playing games are way better the only real thing it helped me on was spotting checkmates in two-three pretty much

Pattern recognition in puzzles and in game are two different things cause you can still hang your queen three times to a bishop in game while being 2000+ puzzles

Ok

Did you miss my final statement saying "Otherwise just keep playing and you will climb eventually"? Of course playing is the best way of improving but doing puzzles is a way to hone in on one specific part of chess. "The only real thing thing it helped me on was spotting checkmates in two-three pretty much" this is your experience, I am telling mine. We are all different, have different experiences and for me puzzles helped alot. Just because it isn't a good way for you to get better doesn't mean that it is a bad way of doing stuff. I am giving tips on what worked for me, you may give tips about what worked for you but please don't discredit my tips just because you and I have different experiences.
The smartest thing a person could do is listen to others advice and use those pieces that works best for them.

Then if you were a good coach you wouldn't discredit other peoples advice just because it doesn't work for you, exactly like how you discredited my advice.

No offense but not all advice is good you have to give advice according to the person but typically I don't do that unless they ask for spefic strategies on how to deal with something (ex tunnle vision in game ) or time management notice how I only commented on one thing I didn't actually try to "discredit " you

Actually I feel mainly my game experience helped me to atleast get through the tactics. I have defeated a 1600-RATED-PLAYER (yes, you saw it right) in an over the board game and I have even defeated Nelson in a challenge, and that player (now 1700) also plays on Chess.com and he says I should be 1000 or something...

P.S. He has defeated me always ever since then, though he says that I am a good player of about 1000, by the name of @IMO1984 and I hope he sees this forum...
