Hello everyone. I am writing this forum to ask about how to improve above 1700 level.
I go to a chess class and I analyse me chess games. I also solve tactical puzzles offline.
Can you suggest me any other way to improve? Thanks a lot.
Stay away from blitz & bullet.
Play 15+10 rapid.
Study endgames!
Example:
https://lichess.org/vKn2uDaK#70
You had to protect your pawn b2 with b3, and if black takes ...Nxe5, only then Nc8+ and Nxa7.
Then both players have 2 pawn islands, and you have a queen side pawn majority. It is equal.
With your immediate Nc8+ you left yourself with 4 pawn islands, and thus a lost knight endgame.
Maybe, you can find something useful at https://lichess.org/forum/general-chess-discussion/i-need-advice?page=2 .
Thanks a lot !

Learn to think 3 moves ahead.
Study the topic silent move.

No. 3 only
"... Most of the time you can find a good move - if not the best move - with a low level of calculation. How low? Two and a half moves into the future. ..." - GM Andrew Soltis (2010)
I guess an example would be the position after 1 d4 Nf6 2 Nd2 e5 3 dxe5 Ng4 4 h3, when Black perceives that 4...Ne3 can be played because of 5 fxe3 Qh4+ 6 g3 Qxg3#.
In my experience, your rapid rating is the most significant for your chess rating in general. So it is the best thing to do to play rapid, as chessfriend tpr put it. And over 1800 is very good rating. (exc, for my bad english).
