I have aimed to cross 2600 in blitz and rapid, how should i make it happen?

• I want to cross 2600 in both rapid and blitz.

• My current blitz rating is 2409 (highest 2530)

• my current rapid rating is 2528 (highest 2546)

• I am a OTB player and play on lichess just to try openings and.... play chess.

• I am doing my chess studies and correcting mistakes but there is something I cannot figure about online chess.

• I am not able to reach 2550-2600 in any of the formats..

• My some friends have less fide rating than me, but still they have like 2600 in rapid here.

• I want to play increment but there is no higher rated...

• I am not obsessed or anything, 2600 is what i want to do atm

My plan

• Wait until my rapid rating gets a question mark.
• Hope to win more games and get to 2600.
• Play blitz in the meantime, for practice...

Also, can someone help figure if i play better in increment vs no increment by seeing my games?

"cross 2600 in blitz and rapid"

• first focus on one and achieve the goal, only then focus on the other

"Hope to win more games"

• Hoping sounds like a poor plan.

"Play blitz in the meantime, for practice"

• Good for the blitz goal, bad for the rapid goal.

"if i play better in increment"

• Hard to tell. I would say focus on one time control.
  15+10 is closer to classical. 10+0 is closer to blitz.
  With increment is purer chess.
  Without increment creates an alternative win condition: flagging.

Setting yourself up for an epic failure and tilt.

The ratings obsession on this site is next level.

One way to boost rating is to play area and not berserk.

Arena not good for rating gain if you're high-rated as you'll play many lower rateds and when you inevitable lose or draw you lose a lot of points. Plus you're playing many weaker opponents which is less valuable practice.

Yes I agree.

After losing so many games online, my confidence has dropped enough to use the word hoping. I still cannot guarantee that I will reach 2600.

I lose in rapid mainly because I have a winning position and my opponent dirtyflagged me. 10+0 sucks for me so I will try 10+5 now.

How?

If I reach 2600 it's great, and if I don't, I have no problem either. I don't care about online rating. If it increases then it's fine. If it decreases, I don't care. My real chess is happening over-the-board where my sole aim is playing my best every move.

Setting a goal is called obsession? Yes I am obsessed.

The higher your level is, the more study and analysis outweight playing.
