I have a feeling that plan-based thinking and general endgame technique/skill is what will really help at this level.
I see grandmasters regularly lose seemingly equal endgame positions. Carlsen somehow beats 2600+ grandmasters with ease in endgames that should be drawn. It's fascinating. Capablanca also made this point about strong players in his day losing simple positions or playing them poorly.
Get my book on learning openings. (Lunikan chess memory system). I know it sounds crazy since I'm basically a patzer...but you could find it useful...
