"I'm a 'patzer,' a chess player who knows how to move the pieces fairly well but is forever doomed to mediocrity."
You are rated 2100, that's better then over 95% of people who play, in chess books is games between IM's and GM's and world champions, of course your going to consider yourself a patzer if you compare yourself to those aces, they get published for being really good. So Greco, Morphy, Alekhine, Fischer, Kasparov, and other world champions had some ultra-good calculative ability and that can be learned by reading Kotov's Think like a grandmaster. I can analyse a position to death, even analyse sometimes the best lines perfectly but play a bad move due to poor judgement, so judgment and planning books coupled with Kotov and "How to Think in Chess" can help you. No one is forever doomed to mediocrity as anyone can improve with the right training.
