How can I improve in Antichess?

Hello.
I am a lower rated Player of Antichess, I really want to improve but I don't know how.
Can you Post tips or studies for improving?
This would help me a lot.
Thank you very much!
I'm not that good at antichess either, but I can give a few tips. Try to not to promote to a queen. I normally only move my pawns 1 square up in the opening. I think ahead about 4 moves, to see the possible outcomes of each move. I'll edit this message when I think of more tips.

I was once 1288, but, it was my favourite variant. I did not give up. I started practising positions and puzzles I slowly got my rating to 1500 then 1600, but I was stuck at 1600, still I did not quit. Then I came to know about these studies: lichess.org/study/5GrkXfA0 , lichess.org/study/4XBZbCFY . I studied all the chapters, and now I am 1750!

The best antichess players

@arimakat , @Mrhaggis , @changeopening , @kex09 , @pinni7 , @firebatprime , @soccertan26 , and many more you can learn from them too, they know better than me.
@AnishPat your statement isn't neccesarily true. I can give you 3 examples where pawn 2 squares is better than pawn 1 square.
c4 > c3, a4 > a3, h4 > h3.
