What should I do to improve?
I’m currently around 1600 strength and my main goal is to reach 2000+ level by the end of this year. I also plan to play in Paraćin Open B this year in July, so I’m trying to train much more seriously and structure my improvement better.
I've been playing the Queen's gambit and Taimanov Sicilian for around 4 years but i don't like them.
Recently I started learning Catalan and Sveshnikov. I liked the London system and KID as well.
I want to play agressive but I don't think 1. d4 is the best option.
I also noticed my current repertoire is half positional and half tactical.
The biggest thing holding me back right now is inconsistency. In some games I feel like I play far above my level, calculate well, find strong ideas, and outplay good opponents. But in other games I make one bad blunder or calculation mistake and the whole game falls apart.
What should i focus on and which sources should i study from?
Are there any books/courses/resources you would strongly recommend?
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
