Chess Puzzle

[bloria]

How do I get better at Chess ? I have been playing Chess for quite a few years, but I cant seem to win games against 1800 rated players or above. I have been using tutorial based chess software for several years and havent really improved. Since I do an absurd amount of traveling in my work, attending Chess instruction is a little tricky . I mainly use notebook computer and one of those electonic chess machines
good for travel. Anyone have any ideas or study tips I might to try?

Try practicing on freechess.org if you don't already. Another place to look at is chess.com, which has more instruction but actually playing on it is not as good as playing on freechess.org.
