Breaking common myths

Most of the below 2000 rated players tend to think that you become standard player when you achieve 2000 or 2100 rating in slow formats(15+10 and even slower)....even when i was below 2000,I developed a pre conception that 2000s are well versed in endgames,they have their own opening repertoires etc etc etc but when i myself reached 2100..it didnt took me long to understand that chess skills doesn't differ much between 1900-2000 but mindset differs...though at higher stages chess skills are most prominent...if you want to reach 2000 then just stop thinking of them as extremely superior or something like that....
Most 2000s know only few basic endgames,2-3 openings but yeah their tactical vision tends to be good....

wait really?
i thought that endgames are the most necessary aspects of high level games.(me who knows like 5 endgames)
guess i just gotta concentrate on rapid (i see not more than 80 point difference in our blitz rating)
(hmm i don't remember us blocking each other [btw I unblocked])
Unfortunately, tactics and endgames (which is a particular part of tactics) may be enough.
