I'm hard stuck 800, what should I do?

Sort:
NAC-1

In the past year I think I've done pretty well, I went from a complete novice to a beginner by upping my elo at least 400, but I seem to not be able to break past 800. What do you guys recommend me to study? My goal is to reach 1000.

Play  others with a rating range of 1050-1999.

The 800's play better.

I was stuck at 800 for like 3 months, and got to 1200 less than a month, trust the process

I've examined some of your recent losses. In almost every case, you ended the game with more time on your clock than when you started. Maybe you should think about slowing down and lookin before you move!

Try different time controls.

Or try using the time you have

You're stuck in the middle. That's something at least. You've done 0.2322 puzzles a day on Chess.com in the last 715 days. Are you working on them some other way? I'm using the book Tactics Time. Puzzles would really help. Twelve a day keep the blunders away.

I mainly use Lichess for puzzles, rating 1700.

Yeah instinctively moving has been a really bad habit I've been trying to kill from my blitz days. Should I force myself to consider a position/move for 30 seconds each?
