I have the same problem, and I want to ask you the same question but for reaching Master. What is your advice.
More hard trainings and a simple usage of brain.
no at all an answer to your question but after some introspection I have come to realize that there are no true “ad-hoc” problems. Every adhoc problem I have solved myself has used the same old bag of meta-thinking strategies used in other similar problems. So if you have the motivation and time, the answer to how to get to any rating at all really seems to be “solve more problems and fit the pattern into your intuition for each problem you solve” during training and “actively try to fit patterns/meta-patterns of the problem you see to your library of solved problems”.
Personally though I feel my progress is limited by how accurately I can debug and implement my solutions and not related to my ability to mind-solve a problem, so I feel that to get higher than a 2100 level one needs to work on accurate and fast implementation as well for beyond this level I cant seem to rely on just being able to solve a problem in my head alone. But thats just my opinion derived from a sample size of 1 so take as much stock into it as you wish.
But i'm completely opposite... have problems solving problems but once I mind-solved, can implement it in 20 mins...
Great then can I ask if you plan your implementation every-time before starting to code? Or do you just go with the vibes and figure it out as you code?
Also, before implementing your idea, do you verify that your idea is indeed correct, and for instance figure out the precise transitions of the DP? I have the problem of getting to the idea really quickly but then being lazy about the details/missing them/rewriting code multiple times with bugs.
Yes i think about and write down all the details before i started coding so in most cases i can write my code very quickly without hardly any bugs. (But sometimes that's the reason why i solve problems slow because of thinking too much :D)
How to reach Master?

Unfortunately, IQ is hard to increase. So if IQ were your problem, then you'd better start doing lsd while listening to tool like your life depended on it. But it looks like you got pretty close, so IQ might not be your problem.
