How to reach 1900(need advices)

Just an Idea.

Play unrated Games against higher rated Players for a certain amount of Time.
Let's say 6 weeks against 2000 Elo Players. If your winration is around 50% for a longer time (let's say a week) you should be skilled enough to reach 1900 Elo....maybe
no point in posting unhelpful bs guys. please

and advice for you is play lots of puzzles ( the main component between 1800-2000 and learn some openings that your opponent can't immediately crush you (e4 d4 ect...)
What I've read, is that if you think harder about your moves, you will get better. I don't know if that is true, depends how complicated the game is I suppose.
Maybe plan a few moves ahead?
That's what I do anyway but again, I'm not very high😂
I try to plan ahead of time and try to see where the game is going.

When I was a bit better (until my brain deteriorated and I went from 1856 to 1200😂) what I really did was learn the endgame perfectly, then if the position looks equal or you have a bad position, equalise and then extange. And then if you are an endgame master, you will probably win it.
I don't know was that a good idea but that's all I can say.
No, it was NOT YOU who almost made me refrain from postings, dear @TheUnbreakable!
I am glad to answer YOUR question if it helps any - you are so welcome!
I was refering to those people who recommended you to stop watching something else instead. :<
Wish you all the best for your improvement; good skills. :-)
One more comment on your issue: "farming" lower rated players is a tough thing...
I wonder how people are able to score over 90% against weaker opposition.
I cant. I play my best against the strongest.
Give it a try if you care about ratings. Maybe you will be good at it...
we all learn at least one thing everyday.
you can use SCID (Shane's Chess Information Database) program for train yourself about all games between grandmasters.
that is my little advice for today.
1. make puzzles

2. learn endgames

3. learn openings ( to get as much possible time at beginning of the match )

4. allow premoves

5. never resign
