What should to do for better results and improve an average skill
Some advices from an average playerI 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.
