I have 2 accounts, one for practicing openings and the other for serious games. The only real way to get to 1600 is if you practice a lot so that you could outplay oponents <1600.
How to reach to 1600 in two months
Sort:
ya but is there any correct way for practising

If you mean games at 3 days/move, I would say that you won't improve much that way. There seem to be lots of accounts on this site that have high online ratings but average or lower in blitz and standard. I assume that they either use a computer in online or have enormous amounts of time to waste thinking about their moves and looking up databases.
General consensus seems to be that a lot of tactics works to improve your game, then in depth knowledge of openings, after you are a competent player

No. OTB is definitely best.
solve as many tactics as you can on chesstempo everyday, standard and blitz mode
get Silman's endgame course and read up to, and including, the B Class endgames (1600-1799)
get a good book on positional play (eg. Simple Chess / The Amateur Mind)
and spend a few hours on wikipedia reading about openings to build a basic but solid repertoire and you are gold
I'm not 1600, but after plateauing for 2 years at a lowly 1150, I finally improved. Tactics, tactics, and more tactics. Importantly, restudying tactics you get WRONG. This is where chesstempor really failed me - it encourages you to do a boatload of tactics, but not to do ones you get wrong. I did chesstempo for 2 years, over 5000 problems solved, and gained like 25 points in chess.com.
In contrast, I did TacticsTime book 5x in a row and gained 150 points in 2 months. It was crazy how much more effective it was - not because the problems were better, but because I was redoing problems I got wrong over and over again with TacticsTime.
thx everyone
I think the easiest way to reach 2000 in two months is to start at 2100, and then lose a few games.
Do online tactics help as much as tactics from the book. cause like i am a premium member and spend at least 1 hour per day on tactics trainer. any suggestions how to use time effeciently cause i am 13 years old and i have a lot of time for chess.

I wouldn't make that public knowledge, that's against the rules.

On Chesstempo you can make custom sets of the puzzles you get wrong or select to repeat failed puzzles. So this means it is actually easy to revist failed puzzles.
The Tactics Time book is good - I had it for the kindle and then lost my kindle.
It has lots of core/lower level tactics so yes cycling through those will develop tactical awareness.
thx everyone. but is it possible to gain 200 rating points in two months.

If you go 4.5/5 or better in an U1600 tournament, you would pick up 150-200 points. But you'd have to be good enough to go 4.5/5.
1. Play slow games.
2. Analyze these games.
3. Do at least 5-10 tactical puzzles every day. Make sure you fully understand them after you solve them, try to recognize the themes of the position, the patterns, and why stuff works.

Of course, but gaining 200 points in strength is much harder.
Focus on improving your weaknesses by analysing your games (where you've put in effort, not blitz), learning new concepts and applying them and forget the numbers.
1.Have a playing strength of 1550
2.Study intensely your weakest area.
3.Play in enough tournaments so your rating reflects your playing strength.
Since you're around 1400 over the Internet you should be thinking in terms of how to reach 1600 in years, not months.
Since you are 13 you'll improve faster than a grown up would so maybe in about a year. Focus on a single book, such as My System, and work up to a book like Art of Attack in Chess with some endgame puzzles from Van Perlo's Endgame Tactics.
Hi guys i am currently 1383 rated on fide. Can anyone who has reached 1600 give me tipa and methods of study to reach 1600 as fast as possible. thx
