I play G/15 on the ICC.
Two years ago I got to 1958. since then I have fallen 250 points.I play well for a few games and then it falls apart.I miss simple tactics.Even when I play well, time gets me. I have tried different openings.
I understand we all have limits on talent. however, there must be ways to get better at G/15.
any ideas or experiences?

1. Balance your study and playing time, you'll need both in order to improve.
2. Don't carry a large game load. 6-20 games should be enough.
3. Don't blame yourself if your not doing well, it's part of the process.
