How to play better in antichess

Just imagine that you are playing regular chess. Fieldtested.
Don't play e4. Don't play d4. Don't play Nf3. Don't play Nc3. Don't play d3. Play e3.
Like normal chess, think ahead and study your mistakes afterwards. It's much easier than regular chess though because there are way fewer possible moves and forced chains of captures
I tried to get to 1400 in every variant. I gave up at antichess. It's simply impossible to get higher than 1200.
one great way to make it is to have a whole row of open pawns. with space in bweetween them
Step 1: Find an opening, study it, learn the lines.
Step 2: Analyze games you lost badly, find out where you made a mistake.
Step 3: Learn the refutations of 1.e4, 1.d3, 1.d4
Step 4: Learn the basic K v R, R v N, K v N endgames
Step 5: Do these puzzles: lichess.org/study/5GrkXfA0 lichess.org/study/yqP1uKPO Over and over until you get the tactics down.
Step 6: Practice, play more, play arena tournaments.

I guarantee it'll get you to 2000 in time.
