Chess is 99% tactics

Hey! Chess Friends

As we all know well, Chess is 99% tactics.
Naturally I reached a tactical rating of 2350+.
Any suggestions to improve my rating without falling steeply.

read books and study the games of the grandmasters?
How much time does it take you to solve the higher-rated puzzles? Because, if you take 5 minutes to solve them, that won't help you in rapid games. I had reached about 2100 in tactics, and then I switched from "medium" to "easy" and tried to solve the puzzles quickly, and now my training rating is closer to my play rating!
First of all you made a statement "As we all know well, Chess is 99% tactics" . I can immediately refute that assertion by stating that I don't agree that chess is 99% tactics. So "all" of us don't think that chess is 99% tactics. My view is that while tactics are very important, strategy is very important as well. What proportion of each is arguable. Whether it is 70% tactics and 30% strategy or 50/50 cannot be proved. It is valid for you to say that , in my opinion, chess is 99% tactics but not to claim that what you see as fact is what all people see as fact. If you wrote that you surveyed 1,000 chess players and all agreed that chess is 99% tactics then I would say you had a valid point.

You should work towards improving your chess game content.
Rating is just a temporary number.
In bullet chess one can have a rather high rating without even play chess well, or producing something sensible.
To improve your chess skills and game content, you best study and train and play and analyze.

Here's some suggestions :
1) Analyze your own games (Botvinnik was maybe the first well-known GM who claimed this is important).
2) Go through, and study, annotated chess games, annotated by chess masters or strong players.
3) Study chess books and chess videos about chess strategy and endgame knowledge, and the chess classics games (Morphy,Alekhine,Spielmann,Fischer,Tal,Smyslow etc.).
4) Join a local chess club where you can play otb chess against equal or stronger players and analyze the games with them.
It is important to avoid playing only against weaker opponents, because it is unlikely you will learn a lot from them.
5) Play rated games, so that you can every now and then look at your "rating progress" just as a rough indication.
Your current classical rating still has the ? sign.

Good luck!

How do I start off my opening study?

Thank you for your valuable suggestion.
I'm neither a chess coach nor a strong player, but my suggestions would be:
1) Play as much slow games as possible;
2) Solve tactical exercises on a daily basis (15-20 min);
3) Learn basic theoretical endings (basic pawn endings, Q vs P, Philidor and Lucena positions, maybe few more).
4) Analyze (your own slow games and the games of grandmasters whose playing style suits you).

Have fun.
Chess is not 99% tactics, strategical things are also very important. I think it's aroung 60% tactics.
GM Hikaru Nakamura said, that below rating of 2300-2400~ it's 99% tactics, but above that, it's less than 40-50 %. Just saying...

I believe that working on endgames is one of the most important and most forgotten thing for amateur players (below 2200 fide rating) (Playlist of 3 videos that I know for the fact will help your endgame play www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-nhpuouUkE&list=PLhGeKsjHa5nz6KYmyXRtrVunc0oar82h7). Dvoretsky books are the best for learning endgames (my opinion)! I have nothing much more to add because @achja told you the main points on improving. Still, I will give you few tips from my personal opinion:
1) Try learning openings by studying middlegames and pawnstuctures that arise after them.
2) Try reading books with lots of commentary and less variations. Read it like you read a good novel book - in bed, without chess board.
3) Very underrated - psychological factor. I tell my students: forget about who you are playing , what opening your opponent specializes in, and any other potential distractions. Just play chess, sit down at the board and try to crush your esteemed opponent so badly that they will never want to play chess
again . Do everything possible (and ethical !) to ensure that you will destroy your opponent into a hopeless depression. lt doesn't matter who you are playing or how long they have been a master, an expert, a 1600 rated player, or a world-class GM. Don 't be afraid to go straight for the win. I guarantee that your results will
shoot up enormously if you look your opponent in the eye and make it clear - you are going to do everything possible to beat them in an embarrassing fashion.

Good luck with improving! :)
Well analysing my most recent chessgames.I conclude that chess is not 99% tactics, but chess is more 99% calculations/intuition
