Feeling stuck at the same rating? It’s normal—and fixable.

Why it happens: Playing without analyzing, ignoring weak areas, repeating mistakes. How to improve: - Analyze losses to learn where you went wrong. - Fix one weakness at a time. - Play slower games – think better, not faster. - Practice puzzles daily – build pattern recognition. - Track mistakes – spot recurring issues. Simple plan: 3–4 games/week, Daily puzzles (15 mins), Analyze 1–2 games.
