What can I do to reach 2200?!. I have been stuck at 2100+ for, like...forever.

I am pretty sure there is a huge difficult gap between 2000 and to 2300, that 300 difference is what separates strong skilled players from good intermediate players. But I am just guessing there, as I see a 2000 players pretty often, while I rarely see anyone even above 2200

Well if you want to become online 2000 then I must say it's not tough. All you need is to know tactics well and you will be there. But if you want to reach FIDE 2000 then you should work on middlegames, endgames, tactics, calculation and openings. Spent 20% of your main time on openings.

  1. Make a nice opening repo. For that I recommend chessmood.

  2. Work on tactics:
    I recommends:

  1. Woodpecker Method
  2. Ian Anderson's Visualization Course Vol-1 and 2.
  3. Edward Romain Middlegames puzzles.
    If above books are way tough for you then don't worry just text me!
  1. For middlegames I suggest many books but some are listed in bottom:
  1. Yusupov series to improve your basics. There are 9 books.
  2. /sillman's Series is also cool.
  3. Art of attack.
  4. Prepare to attack.
  1. For Endgames:
  1. Silman's Endgame Manual.
  2. 100 Endgames you Must Know.

This is small list of books suggestions for you which can make you 2000 online in just 2 months from now if you choose one book on each topic and do not be scared by book names. Success demands hard work!!!

Usually, players below and around 2000 rely more on intuition rather than calculation. If you want to go to the next level you have to be prepared to analyze each move

Not easy I would say. If you look at lichess rating distribution about 13% players are 2000 and above. so vast majority will not get to 2000. Obviously doable and also depend on which time control. Blitz will hardest as the on average players are stronger. And as for FIDE 2000 2-4% players can reach that level so will much harder again.
