Stuck at 1400-1600 rating

chomp on hanging pieces

Avoid blunder, make more calculations, and play with a calm state of mind? What I'm said is usually what factor for me to gain up to 100ish rating, idk for others, though.

Improving Your Chess - Resources for Beginners and Beyond

Ya man this bracket is one of the hardest to break out of , i suggest doing 15+10 mins and focus on your thought process in the game, don't spam blitz and bullet like I do. I can play super fast but my calculations aren't as sharp. 1600's are just 1400's whos tactics are much more advanced 1800's are even more advanced in tactics with a stronger end-game same for 2000+. I've beaten players up to 2100. They are beatable but to beat them consistently you need to study to some degree. Their are positions that I don't know how to play simply because the end-game isn't clear you need to internalize deep positional ideas. I also suggest studying master games on chess.com lessons and analyze your games deeply when you play 15+10 really focus on calculating as deeply and intensely as possible. This is something you must practice until it's automatic. I am at a point where I can automatically calculate past 1480 with no effort. Once I hit around the 1500's then I have to put in solid effort to beat them 1600's I can beat but not consistently. Also, focus on consistently playing well.
