The overarching goal of this channel is to help you improve your game. To fulfill this goal, I started this series on how to reach certain rating milestones in chess (based on chess.com rapid ratings).

While preparing for this series, I have looked at hundreds of games from different rating groups and made several observations that have led to various hypotheses. I will share those with you in this series.

We will see what kind of recurrent issues are there at your level and how the next level has resolved those problems. This allows me to give you much more specific training advice to reach the next level rather than the routine advice of "just study tactics." I invite the chess community to join this scientific discussion and share their ideas and best training advice for each rating level.

This episode highlights the typical issues faced by 1500 ELO players and how 1800 ELO players have overcome them. Then training advice is given to reach 1800 ELO. The episode ends with typical mistakes made by 1800 ELO players so that they become aware of those to reach the next level.

Thanks to one of my subscribers who has described this project as developmental psychology of chess expertise, like Jean Piaget's work on the cognitive development of children.
