Tactics, Endgames, Positional chess. You need to learn to look at a position and pawn structure and come up with the right plan based on the position. My System, Reassess Your Chess, and many other books can help you learn how to break down a position and understand what needs to be done.
You are my last hope.

If you have 15 hours a day for chess, get a premium membership (most used $100 you ever spent) and hit tactics trainer, hard. Alternate with Chess Mentor when you don't want to deal with a timer.

Hi, first of all let me introduce myself. I'm a chess extremist, I have 15 hours a day to study chess. But I don't know how to study; so I end up playing countless amounts of chess games a day with the same result. My rating is 1650 and it won't budge. What studying strategy would you suggest for someone who has 15 hours a day to study chess? PS I'm begging you to answer this question, your my last hope.
Considering your time expenditure get Smirnov's Self-Taught GM, sounds like exactly what you need. Oh, get GM Secrets first since it's the foundational course, without it you can't really understand the rest of his courses.
Don't spend 15 hours a day on chess. After 8 hours or so you will start to experiance diminishing returns and will only burn out quicker. If you calculate too much, you might only have 5 hours before fatigue sets in.
hire a chess coach. 15 hours per day justify this
