check your opponent's rating before you play. if their peak rating is close to what you're playing at, you have a reasonable chance of winning. if their peak rating is like 2200 you're probably going to get crushed.

learn openings to move 10-12 and try to find weaknesses and create them in the opponents position
1600 to 1700 = 2/3 games bests the 1600.
1700 to 1800 = 2/3 games beats 1700.
If you played against yourself when you posted this 2 months ago then you would beat yourself about 3/4 times.
So what did you learn in two months to be so much better???

1600 to 1750 is like comparing a college and pro pitcher in baseball. 1800-1850 more of the same. 1900 is an even greater hurdle. You have to be good at everything…
tactics, strategy, endgames, middle game strategy for the openings you play and consistency and the like.

Hello, I made a video about this very topic recently, after looking at hundreds of games between 1500 and 1800 ELO! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZOQVAM4uGQ
I hope it helps! There are several areas, but one of my main conclusions was consistency. Also deeper strategic/middlegame work seems to be required.
All the best,
Can
Well done!
A coach once told me establishing a rating vs peaking are two different things.
