What should to do for better results and improve an average skill

StrategySoftware DevelopmentOff topic
Some advices from an average player

I want to share this short topic with you because of to see if there is also players like me. First of all i want to explain myself. I am about 1600 player on blitz and bullet. I am playing nearly only at these tempo. First, i am playing for de-focusing from work and relax, second, have not so much time to long term plays between some timeouts. I am watching a lot of matches and analyzes at the same time and of course trying to improve my openings, mid game skill and especially focus on my main problem: "end game".

In these cases, every games of me yes, about joy and relaxing but also a chance for learning new patterns and ideas, this is more joyful than winning a game.

What is my dilemmas?

1- I am trying to learn as much as possible from every game and analyzes (mostly i am trying to analyze my games also). But i have doubt to play with equal players teach me enough, want to play 2000 or little harder players also but it also possible into some tournaments thats all. I want play min. 1 match a day with 2000+ player but no chance!

2- My bullet and blitz rating about 1600 as i said but my puzzle rating is nearly 2200-2300, this difference shows me that, if i play at Rapid for example, i can play better and find a chance to play a 2000+ player, and god knows, maybe one day i also may reach this level (once upon a time i came close to 1800-1850 but turned back unfortunately). But as i said above, at this tempo i can play only 1-2 match a week, this is very less and i may not stay without playing chess.

I will not write any result or last word to this topic, maybe some players can write and discuss with me about what should to do.
