I reached 2100 rapid nearly 6 months ago, and ever since I was aiming for 2200.
I usually play the Hungarian open, and it helped me reach 2150+, but it took me 6 months to reach this rating.
Many of my friends an seniors advised me to change my opening, and I finally did that yesterday.
To my surprise, I have won 8 out of my last 10 rapid games (after changing my opening) and now I am a 2200.
I now usually play e4 as white, and either e5 or d5 as black.
However, since I have been playing the Hungarian for over a year now, I know almost every variation which can arise from the Hungarian, but I also know that it wont help me raise my rating.
Also, as I just changed my opening yesterday, I am not quite familiar with my new opening, as a result of which I find myself randomly moving my bishops and pawns here and there.
It will be really helpful if u guys will suggest some nice books on chess openings, which will help me improve my rating.
Regards.
