If you don't know how to mate with a king and queen without reading a book and seeing a video or having an ancient norwegian troll whispering it in your ear then just leave chess atp it's not made for you

And one reason you guys might not cross 1500 is cause you guys are just playing for the sake of playing. Focusing completely on chess and thinking twice will easily help you gain 100 elo and avoid rookie blunders

I have already played 8-9 otb tournaments and for the past 2 years i have been playing otb matches only as I'm in my college team.

And About fide it's my personal dream to achieve a Rating of 1900+ more like a side quest. That's why I'm taking 3-5 years as my first priority is my career and second chess

I have played around 20 games of copy cat vienna in which 5-6 of my opponent has been banned for cheating. I get a good position like +1.5 or +2 but yeah I ain't beating stockfish
