@Antichess_Big_Fan Try to win a high rated player.
@MR_ELECTRIC_CHAMP in 3 check? I will try :P
@Antichess_Big_Fan Every variants ( The variant in which you are below 2000 )
@MR_ELECTRIC_CHAMP Yeah thanks, I am trying but it isn't that easy to find a high rated player :(
Koth is easy just control the center and draw or win never lose
For 3-check I'd recommend using just one specific opening as white/black and trying to play it a lot - maybe you could find someone to practice it with (personally I use the Nb5 line shown here lichess.org/0XOrjz3ku2rY and the e6-c5 setup as black). You'll soon get a feel for the ideas and tactics in that opening. This opening guide www.chess.com/member/tenthousanddays should help you up to around 1900 and show you some good tactical ideas. Good luck on getting to 2000! Edit: I'd also recommend looking through the openings of games you lose and checking with the opening explorer and/or engine to see where you went wrong
Simple advice: Do one variant at a time.
I did not set the bar to 2000 but got to around 1800 for most variants. However, when I stopped playing one for a while and came back after a month...poof. It felt like I had no idea what I was doing. This was especially relevant for the variants where your intuition differs much from regular chess. (e.g. for KOTH it doesn't matter as much, but for horde/antichess starting cold feels very painful)
Second simple advice: Only try to climb when you are winning
If you are not sure about your form of the day, play some unrated or regular chess first. If you notice that you are making lots of blunders, better not play rated if you are close to your goalpost.
Similarly, if you are playing with a person who is underperforming compared to their rating: milk them dry. Or if they are lower rated but performing great, just run away :D
Finally:
As others mentioned, theory is great. A quick search should bring up one or two guides for horde by top lichess players, which I really enjoyed going through.
