The bright truth is that at 2100, games are still decided by tactics. We always make stupid blunders, so keep working on your tactics even after 2k!

I mean like forks,basic opening traps and stuff.Not all blunder that much so even if you win a game or 2 cause of your opponent blundering there is always a 3rd game to get you.

We 2000 players make tactical mistakes all the time. There is always something to be gained from becoming a better tactician. Calculation is going to be a priority for many of us, and it is hard to accurately calculate something complex if you aren’t seeing the possible tactical motifs in the position. At 2000, you’d hope that you don’t miss many one or two move shots, but you will want to start seeing the 3, 4 and 5 move shots more regularly as you move forward. This is of course all a generalization and different players will have different needs, but the importance of tactics never dies.

I read somewhere that around 46 or 47 percent of GM games are still decided by tactics, just to put it in perspective how even in games amongst very strong players there are tactical errors and opportunities.
