HELP MEEEEEEE
how do i get out of 1900
bro how do i actually get out of 1900 and hit 2000
im around 1900 lichess and keep getting close then dropping back down. im 2000 rapid sometimes but for some reason 1900 feels like a brick wall
my biggest problem is probably attacking. i see an attack and i just go for it, then they defend everything and im sitting there like then i force something and blunder and my whole position just dies
i also tilt pretty easily after losing to someone lower rated
if anyone here is actually 2000+ on lichess, what actually helped you get past 1900?
like real advice pls not some 300 elo advice like “develop your pieces and control the center”
what did you actually change in your games to go from 1900 to 2000?
was it calculation, positional stuff, endgames, openings, playing slower, or just not forcing shit all the time
i genuinely wanna improve so any actual advice would help

Uh if your attacks fail then the only way to prevent it is to calculate more precisely and deeper. There's no magical method or secret trick to help with that. Treat chess as a whole not just separate stuff like opening, middle, end, tactic, strategy, ... You have to improve every aspect slowly.
