You can get from 1000 to 1500 just by reducing the number of blunders you make.
Getting up to 2000 requires a bit more understanding than that.

It is similar to improving from 0 to 20 marks versus 80 marks to 100 marks in an examination.

How about I challenge you
The closer you get to your personal ceiling, the harder it gets.
1000 to 1500 is about preventing blunders
1500 to 2000 is about tactics
2000 to 2500 is about endgames

Good list, but I'm 2350 and it's still mostly tactics.

Even at my level, it's still preventing blunders.
Like the old saying goes....... the first million is the hardest.

1500-2000 is harder because of something called the learning curve.

Strategy is for the dumb peeps . Chess is all about raw calculation

Nothing is farther from the truth. It depends on the nature of the position.

Also depends on time control. In a long game positional chess is way more important anything else.
Was it harder to go from 1500 to 2000 then it was to go from under 1000 to a 1500 rating?
