what should I expect from a 1500 and 1600 ELO player?
Sort:
At the 1500–1600 Elo range, players have a solid understanding of the basics, good tactical skills and some grasp of positional and strategic concepts.
Agressive attacks
You could consider playing the Slav Defense or Semi-Slav as another option.
It can pair up with Caro Kann.
The above position is like normal Caro Kann.
In above position, your opponent might play e4 and line can transpose back into Caro Kann.
If they play c4, you would reach Slav which is different.
However, it at least increases your the chance to transpose into Caro Kann from 1.d4.
Did you try out my advice?
Idk tbh
I started playing chess from scratch almost 4 months ago and I have received a lot of tips on my previous post and it helped me cross 1300 and 1400 leading to a 1500 ELO as of today.
I broke 1500 ELO after being stuck for the last 3 weeks and wanted to kindly ask what is to be expected from players in 1500 and 1600 range ? Any study recommendations so I can understand the rating category better?
Main openings are still Vienna and Caro , I look to learn 2 more openings but just want to make sure the main 2 I know become solid before I jump to a new opening .
