Well, according to your profile, you have been on this site since November 2008 and so it seems that you should have read my reply to such questions before. I have detailed the fact that once I learned of the RHP analyze board and decided to get serious about increasing my rating that I stopped playing my games as if they were OTB games and began using every aid that I could find and which was allowed by RHP.
I became a paid member and began playing in tournaments to win. I was not playing for fun anymore. I used opening books and tried to play the variations that I thought would give me the best chance to win or at least draw. I checked the continuations of the openings that I was using against master games to see how they continued and how successful each side was before I made my decision as to what plan I would take. I then used the RHP analyze board to analyze each of my games ahead several moves until I was satisfied as to how I should continue.
I once corrected a problem that Hans Berliner, a World Correspondence Chess Champion had placed in a chess column that he was doing at the time. He sent me a postcard stating I was correct and he had gotten it out of an opening book and he said the analysis in there was obviously not done too well. I have always been good at mathematics and solving logical problems and, even though I am very old now, I still believe I can think logically and I am still good at analyzing. My thinking has always been slow, but sure, if I have enough time.
My highest OTB rating was 1817 when I stopped playing chess in July 1982 after competing in the World Open. So if your FIDE rating is no more than that, then I see from your profile page that you acheived about 400 RHP rating points higher with your 2200+ RHP rating that you had at one time. Then in order to equal my feat of 700 RHP rating points higher tha your present FIDE rating you will have to lose enough games to get you down to the 1500+ FIDE rating level. I accomplished this by playing OTB again at two chess clubs which played rated games at faster time control than I had played to gain my 1800+ USCF rating in 1982. Since I am not a quick thinker, it gives an advantage to those that have their openings memorized, since I had not tried to memorize openings since before I quit playing in 1982.
So If you wish more information, perhaps you should review any of my posts on here in the past, because I do not wish to keep repeating myself. But good luck if you wish to top my feat. At least now you should know how you should go about it. Let's hope your FIDE rating was never too high or it may be much more difficult for you.
