Hello,
I am looking for advice on books/study ideas on how to improve my game to the next level.
I am aiming to be a solid 1500 to 1600 by the middle of next year. I have recently moved over to Lichess from chess.com as I prefer the look of it. I am a 1300 on chess.com and my rating is still being determined here. I only play 30min+ games as I know this is a good way to improve and play more realistic chess. I do tactics puzzles everyday on both chess.com and chesstempo but I am now looking for further ideas on how to improve my game.
I have a full time job so I want my chess study to be as efficient as possible.
I have noticed that I generally do not blunder just outright pieces but I blunder positions. I will often find myself allowing my structure to be destroyed or end up loosing my advantage in the middle game (or just ending up in a bad shape from opening lines I do not know - often overly aggressive gambits or early attacks).
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
I am also willing to pay for coaching or study with partners if anyone is interested?
