"... going from good at tactics to great at tactics ... doesn't translate into much greater strength. ... You need a relatively good memory to reach average strength. But a much better memory isn't going to make you a master. ... there's a powerful law of diminishing returns in chess calculation, ... Your rating may have been steadily rising when suddenly it stops. ... One explanation for the wall is that most players got to where they are by learning how to not lose. ... Mastering chess ... requires a new set of skills and traits. ... Many of these attributes are kinds of know-how, such as understanding when to change the pawn structure or what a positionally won game looks like and how to deal with it. Some are habits, like always looking for targets. Others are refined senses, like recognizing a critical middlegame moment or feeling when time is on your side and when it isn't. ..." - What It Takes to Become a Chess Master by GM Andrew Soltis (2012)

"... On the one hand, your play needs to be purposeful much of the time; the ability to navigate through many different types of positions needs to be yours; your ability to calculate variations and find candidate moves needs to be present in at least an embryonic stage. On the other hand, it will be heart-warming and perhaps inspiring to realize that you do not need to give up blunders or misconceptions or a poor memory or sloppy calculating habits; that you do not need to know all the latest opening variations, or even know what they are called. You do not have to memorize hundreds of endgame positions or instantly recognize the proper procedure in a variety of pawn structures.

Asking for a Norwegian friend, if you're 2800 how do you get to 2900?

Tell your Norwegian friend he has to play more slow games, like classical, and not just play rapid and blitz online, if he wants to improve his strategic understanding. Also, he has to analyse his games. But he should be aware that if he is in his 30s or more, a lot of quick improvement is very rare at such advanced age, so he should be prepared to be stuck at 2800. Maybe he should play just to enjoy the game. If he is getting flagged by young players, I don't really really have any suggestion as to how he could improve his reflexes.

My friend thanks you for the advice. He says it is not in his DNA to play fast but poorly and he doesn't mind being flagged occasionally if the position is winning for him. He says he'd like to get married and have kids, can he do that and still reach 2900?
