Hello everyone. How's it going? Recently reached 1400 on Rapid (chess.com). My next goal is to reach 1500 and participate in the OTB tournament (U1800) for the second time. That's why I've started solving as many puzzles as I can. At the same time, I'm planning to start reading Mihail Marin's book to prepare for the opening. I'm open to any advice or ideas from the experienced players here.

I've gotten +4 in back to back games and lost both. I think it's obvious that my openings are easily strong enough based on my great success early in games but I'm 1-3 since hitting 1900. I've had a crushing advantage in 3 games I think I have a blatant middlegame weakness with tactics and converting positions. I'll have to focus on this to reach 2000

I know lichess is supposed to be the higher rating site but Ive been stuck between 1700-1850 for nearly 2 years but on chesscom I've climbed from 1400-1900 in the same time. Really strange I find the competition so much harder on Lichess. I'm now currently 80 elo higher on chesscom For instance in my last month on chesscom I have 75% win rate and I'm typically in the 70% accuracy range. On Lichess I'm 1-2-4 in my last 7 averaging 81.3% accuracy only having 2 games under 80% Im genuinely playing much better on Lichess at supposedly 200 elo under where I should be and I'm having far worse results
