Hello! Hope to be a GM! Please friend me! <3

Join my chess club, The Chocolate Chess Penguins! <3 https://www.chess.com/club/the-chocolate-chess-penguins/join/aa22b7

Hello everyone!!! After several years of playing chess casually, I started taking chess more seriously around March 2023. Since joining chess.com, I went from about 500-600 Elo to 1700-2000 Elo in all time controls in just a year! My goal is to become a titled player and hopefully a GM. My favorite chess player is Magnus Carlsen. Some of my favorite openings are The Queen's Gambit, The English, Sicilian Defense, Levitsky Attack, and Trompowsky Attack.

Some of my other hobbies include Language learning, Juggling, playing Table Tennis, trying to solve Rubik’s Cube, Coin collecting, Gardening, Rock collecting, spending time outdoors with nature, and hanging out with my pets.

I get so many messages asking how I improved so quickly, so I will share my journey and will update it here.

Since I was very young, I knew how to play chess. However, I only played casually until late 2022 or early 2023 when I started to take chess more seriously. I began playing chess at a local chess club around the beginning of 2023. At the time I created a chess.com account on March 15th 2023, I was only around 500-600 Elo rating. I also started watching chess videos on YouTube about openings, tactics, and various educational videos about chess. During the first year or so after creating a chess.com account, I was watching chess videos consistently and playing games by the thousands! I steadily improved and climbed in rating. One thing to keep in mind, ups and downs are part of improving. I have lost well over 150 Elo in a day countless times, but eventually I gained it back and set a new personal peak. After about 16 months or so, I became less consistent in watching chess videos, but have remained playing a large quantity of games consistently. I have since climbed to a peak of 2832 Bullet, 2295 Blitz, and 2235 rapid.

Advice: Find what openings you understand best and play those. Don't be afraid to experiment when playing. Watch chess related videos often and consistently. Try to learn something new or improve what you already know. Play many games and focus on improving. Play all time controls, Bullet, Blitz, and Rapid. Don't give up when you lose 100 Elo or more in a day. You will come back stronger than before! And don't be afraid to stay strong! <3

Some of my best accomplishments:

Achieving a 246 win streak in bullet.
Reaching 2000+ rating in all time controls in under 2 years.
Defeating a 3000+ rated GM.
Playing 50,000+ games.
Reaching 1000+ friends and followers.
Reaching 15,000+ profile views.

https://www.chess.com/game/live/117946745843 The game above is one of my most beautiful games! I played with over 94% accuracy and delivered a smothered checkmate! It was 30 sec bullet which makes it much more difficult to achieve such a good
game.
